Aleksandr Dugin, Putin's brain, has repeatedly made clear that Donald Trump is the principal vehicle for the realization of this objective. Trump's conduct over the last 72 hours again demonstrates what he means.

Every. Time.

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

Probably don't need to worry too much about finding the appropriate form of anti-fascist protest because there is no form of protest that fascists will find acceptable

Still waiting for the article that’s like “these right wing militia members are in a bubble and it would be healthier if they exposed themselves to left wing ideas”

One way to be a patriot right now is not to engage in doomerism. These people are fascists and they’re very dangerous. But they’re also weak, undisciplined, and unpopular. And they’re losing.

The republicans are drunken frat boys falling upwards in a system designed for drunken frat boys to fall upwards. They’re not criminal masterminds. All you have to do is push back. Stop being a bunch of cowards.

J.D. Vance: it's time for you to make a bold statement supporting your boss. I'll be over here wondering which one of 'em it is.

If you’re struggling today, take a moment to remember that the worst people you know, the racists, the transphobes and incels, are currently losing their minds on twitter as their overlords fight. Let that comfort you 🙏🏽

oh no, J.D. Vance is going to have a pick a couch to fuck

I feel like Musk could really blow MAGA's collective minds just by continuing to tweet out facts the rest of us have known for years but never penetrated their media bubble.

the current state of the trump admin

The vocal projection on this hero. they warmed up good to make his life hell Also they are being covid safe they are not masked to hide their identity. Someone who warmed up to follow that asshole down the street knows they could be recognized by their bright hair They do it anyway

To everyone shitting on this bc it’s not _______ enough or too _____: This was creative, clever & funny! (Remember fun?) It was 💯 peaceful. It was “something” as is demanded of this moment. Most importantly, it’s working. We’re under his skin. So get over yourselves. All hits are good hits.

truth tellers are punished most when they are early, not wrong.

Black art isn’t just “having a moment.” It’s staging a cultural counterforce. While political systems attempt to erase, repress, and distort Black presence and history, art is where we are unapologetically visible, legible, and sovereign. This isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about insurgency.

Today Trump's main legislative initiative died *in committee*, his main domestic policy initiative was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, & his economic shenanigans got the whole country's credit downgraded. Let's talk about what's important: Biden Old

I asked Sec. Kennedy why he shut down the Firefighter Cancer Registry. He had no idea. 

Because we called them out, it was back online hours later.

This administration cuts blindly, ignoring the harm to working Americans. I’m going to keep calling it as we see it.

Why is *more than 70%* of the money raised by @davidhogg.bsky.social's PAC going toward salaries and expenses? Why is less than 30% going toward candidates? If he can't be responsible with the money he raises, how can we trust him as a DNC Vice Chair?

Snitches get... nothing. There weren't any.

always just kind of gobsmacked by how little these good ol' boy fossil pricks have adapted to the twenty-first century and how many circles younger reps like AOC run around them

I’ve spent my entire adult life watching quality of life metrics for Americans plummet and now everyone is wondering why we’re all weird and hostile now

It is amazing to me that Dems are pressured to water down their messaging in order to avoid alienating 'centrists,' but Republicans can round up and deport sobbing children without fear of alienating 'centrists.' Says a lot about what we mean when we say 'centrists'

Always strange to me that Democrats assume that moving Right gains them voters but doesn't lose them any. Especially under current conditions.

I realize I have a deep rage of watching people expend millions into BILLIONS to “understand” people who want me dead While treating me as a resource with no real help and getting mad when I hit a limit Or basically trying to vend having access to me and calling me selfish when I stop it

I, for one, am tired of [gestures broadly]. I have grown weary of [points in all directions simultaneously].

I’ve done years in Dem politics, winning campaigns and successfully engaging voters in elections Dems lost for the 2024 Presidential election There are many talented Black women strategists that I could refer and I know others could And Senate Dems pick guys who helped us get here to talk to them

Sometimes I wonder if the real goal of AI is to make sure we never know how wonderful it is to make something beautiful or to conquer something difficult

When the topic is women the conflict is that women are failing society. When the topic is men it's that society is failing them.

Duckworth on if she's open to voting to confirm Mike Waltz: "I think everybody on that Signal chain needs to be fired ... he's failing up ... I'm not open to voting for him, no, because he's already demonstrated he's incapable of doing the most basic thing, which is handling classified information."

The past ten days have been the strongest ten days for thwarting Trump’s authoritarian agenda since his second term began. The pro-democracy opposition is rising. I explain here: www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/day-100-wh...

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in *shock*—and who could blame him? Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens. This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬 Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

Dear god let this man cook.

Bro they lobotomized your aunt

This is how you resist! Columbia canceled her popular class, so @karenattiah.bsky.social's going to teach Race, Media, & International Affairs 101 anyway—online! We need media literacy more than ever! Read 🧾: is.gd/UuVaWw Class interest form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #ResistanceSummerSchool

He has been out to destroy Bennett, to crush her into oblivion, to bankrupt her through invasive lawsuits. And too many people forgot. But it isn’t too late.

Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick
