How to know you're in a cult. www.instagram.com/reel/DGUR3Cz...

The clear winner today was US President Vladimir Putin. (Irony: Trump has a pic of Reagan in the oval office. Reagan would be absolutely losing his mind all over again if he were alive.)

Elon shows up in a ball cap, long coat, t-shirt, carrying his kid and it's "Oh, Elon, we love you." Zelensky shows up in attire worn in solidarity with the people fighting (he wears what they wear) and he's treated like he's done the worst thing ever. America is dead.

Putting America first would be standing with US allies and partners, advancing US interests against US rivals. But since I know the slogan "America First" came from Nazi sympathizers, and originally meant "just let Hitler take over Europe," I thought Trump's "America First" meant try to help Putin.

Trump doesn't care about anything except that someone (Ukraine) got something without a quid pro quo. That's literally his whole issue. This is also the right's whole problem with programs that are there to help American's who are struggling. A strong nation is composed of 100%, not the 1%.

So the Executive branch org chart/line of succession goes: Vladimir Putin | Donald Trump | Elon Musk | JD Vance | Mike Johnson's balls (office currently unfilled) | Chuck Grassley (assuming he's actually still alive, unclear)

“My weather app does it better!” -Weather Watches/Warnings? NWS -Forecast data? NWS -Observations? NWS -Satellite? NOAA/NESDIS -Futurecast modeling data? You guessed it, NWS (via EMC). -Climatology data? The weather data compiled over a long period by techs. -Outlooks? NWS Food for thought. 💭

Get ready #MAGA, especially if you're old, sick, low-income, etc. Here it comes. the ultra-wealthy are about to get huge tax cuts. Also being cut, Medicaid (Trump assured you it would not be touched), SNAP and school meals for lwo-income kids, and... Social Security. Cutting half the staff. #FAFO

Elon Musk thinks you shouldn't use SSRIs to treat your depression and they are "the devil". Elon Musk also takes [allegedly] prescribed ketamine whenever he feels like it (not as 'on label', just when he wants to - you and I call that 'recreationally' - according to his interview with Lester Holt.

Trump thinks he can push Europe to take on more security operations but that America will still be in charge. He thinks he can cut funding, maybe even close the DoE, but still be dictates states' decisions. He thinks he can cut research funding and that won't hurt America. He's 100% wrong. 1/2

Social Security IS NOT an entitlement as they use the word! Push back on this at every turn or they'll convince the rabble that it is (this is their goal). Social Security and Medicare are Contributory Programs. Yes, Medicaid is an entitlement, a necessary one. www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-ma...

Gilead USA

Trump's lies about getting 40% of black voters. It wasn't even half that. www.newsweek.com/fact-check-d...

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

People who got upset at people comparing future America to Gilead from The Handmaid's Tale just lack basic imagination. Because it sure doesn't take much to see the path there.

I know. Godwin's law. Whatever. But reading about pre-war Germany and how they allowed, nay nurtured, Hitler and fascism... you cannot help but draw parallels. 'He says those things but he doesn't really mean them' (he did) 'Oh, it won't be all of [group], only the bad ones.' (it was all of them)
