If I told Americans what my father predicts for you now, it would break your heart. But those who know history, already know. In one month, Trump ended America’s status as power. As Putin pressures his pet Trump to deliver or else, Trump will destroy America to save himself from Putin. 🧵

This is for @gtconway.bsky.social Five things I did last week. 1. Took too much ketamine 2. Danced onstage with a chainsaw 3. Ignored my new baby momma 4. Laughed at my own jokes. 5. Neglected all of my children except for the one I use as a human shield.

Yes, this is definitely the first case in human history that a nation bleeding out under attack has a knife by its throat from yesterday’s biggest friend in need that went bonkers and switched to Al Capone-style racketeering amid war.

For those that didn’t believe me when I said Trump is gonna try to run again in 2028…

Trump is a goddamn traitor to America. Any congressional Republican who supports him — or is afraid to stand up to him — is just as much of a traitor as Trump.

Literally extortion

Important for understanding implications of the Defense Department purge. Who will be their replacements? Recall this report from December: "Prospective occupants of high posts inside the Pentagon" were asked "whether they believed the 2020 election was stolen."

No doubt about it!

Can we just seize the Russian assets already and give them to Ukraine? Good lord just do it

💬 "This is the Russian narrative—it’s how Putin has framed the situation for years," says Friedrich Merz, the opposition CDU/CSU candidate for German chancellor.

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

But but IT WAS A WHITE MAN! Oh my goddess these motherfuckers.

The U.S. Justice Department said Thursday that it would dismiss a case against Elon Musk’s SpaceX, in which the rocket company had been accused of discriminating against people based on their citizenship status.

A memo to the Education department’s Office for Civil Rights reveals that the agency will allow “only disability-based discrimination” cases to proceed. Thousands of outstanding race, gender complaints will continue to sit idle. @jsmithrichards.bsky.social @jodiscohen.bsky.social

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

❗️🇳🇴Norwegian Foreign Minister: "The US President is repeating well-known Russian propaganda. This is very dangerous. The statements are very unfounded, very serious and very dangerous."

To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:

Anyways, so this is whose podcast Maurice Glasman is happy to appear on. And yet people think he should have some voice in Labour politics?

⚡️ Trump wants to remove Zelensky, according to The Economist. The publication states that Trump sees Zelensky as an obstacle and may cut military aid, intel access, and Starlink, while lifting sanctions on Russia. www.economist.com/europe/2025/...

It’s amazing to me that people still question whether or not Trump is a stooge for Putin.

Sick of news media talking about tRump's "landslide victory?" tRump’s claim of “record numbers” is a LIE! He only squeaked by with 49.72% of the vote, meaning the majority of Americans wanted nothing to do with him. His cultists can trip, but facts don't lie. missouriindependent.com/2025/01/02/a...

Oh no! What are all those GOP housewives and MAGA moms going to do when their meds run out?

Hell. Fucking. No. Trump and Musk are coming for the World Trade Center Health Program. I’m one of thousands of 9/11 First Responders that are enrolled in the program. They actually called me last week to schedule my annual appointment. ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...

And a great deal of lying.

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong talks checks and balances 👇👇 (1/2) “This is a check on executive power run amok. This is a check and a balance on a president that wants to do whatever the hell hr wants. We cannot have that in America.”

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

Another day (not) at the office.

1. Seize the ruzzian funds and assets in Europe 2. Declare Ukrainian airspace protected by Europe 3. Invest without limits in military factories 4. Boost Ukraine militarily and financially @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu @kajakallas.bsky.social @donald-tusk.bsky.social

The underlying cause of dispute - that the government is paying for luxury New York hotels for migrants - is also a lie apnews.com/article/fema...

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

It’s not a “savings” if you’re getting fewer services in exchange. I’m still paying the same taxes!

Lincoln's Lyceum Address of 1838. Every citizen and elected official in our country must read it "If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide" www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/spee...

That’s how you write a headline, people.

Donald Trump is blaming Ukrainian President Zelensky for keeping Russia’s invasion going. The depravity is unmatched. This is abhorrent and must be condemned.

Here’s what I need from Democrats; get in the fucking way. Stand in front of those who will hurt others. We can say “constitutional crisis” all day long, but you have to get in front of them. Refuse to budge. Don’t back down.

Yep!

“Fire to the oligarchy!” protesters chant as they burn Ivanishvili’s scarecrow on Rustaveli Avenue. Today is his 69th birthday, and sources say he is afraid of witchcraft. #GeorgiaProtests Video: Prelude22

A fake dilemma is a propaganda tactic in which the propagandists offer only two options. At the same time, in general, the “choice” option required by propaganda is obviously beneficial. disinfo.detector.media/en/post/how-...
