Maybe I should only post pet photos. Recent history has convinced me that getting riled up about stuff only wasted time.

Explain to me why encroaching on the second amendment is not allowed even when children’s lives are at stake but the first amendment is easily eroded when someone simply disagrees with our President.

Zelensky wore a sweater and pants to show solidarity with his troops and he got destroyed, but Bukele showed up looking like the manager of a Staten Island nightclub and no one said a goddamn word.

Please don’t underestimate how much FUN Donald Trump, Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele, Stephen Miller and Pam Bondi had today pissing on the grave of Abrego Garcia—a permanent legal resident of America with no record, a US-citizen wife, and 3 US-citizen kids. This is their JAM.

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

waiting for JD Vance to smash through the door, eyes rolling, foaming at the mouth, to yell at Bukele for not wearing a tie

Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.” x.com/nayibbukele/...

The administration that called Canada “the 51st state” and said “we’re going to get” Greenland is suddenly cowed by sovereignty.

You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here. But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.

They want to bully their way through this and be successful, so they have a precedent to allow them to start sending citizens to the gulag too. "You said something bad about our President; off you go, terrorist!"

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

Oof. We’ve fallen so far, so fast.

From Fox Business analyst, after Howard Lutnick said this morning on the Sunday shows that the tariff exemptions on tech were only temporary.

<sigh>

Then why wait a month? There won't be any domestic production in a month. I'm Sooo confused. (I bet they are too.)

How about we start treating people like people? Is that too much to ask?

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

It was so, so predictable that they would be touting the jobs data as proof that their tariff fiasco was a success. Let's look back at that in four months

this has always been the plan. there is no strategy to tariffs beyond shaking down companies and industries seeking exemptions. #mafiastate

Exiling people beyond the protection of US law without due process is not only unconstitutional, it's a rejection of the entire American revolutionary project. Sending people "beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences" is one of the grievances enumerated in the Declaration of Independence.

👇🎯 This stuff is the entire ballgame. And the fact that this hasn’t immediately ended this presidency is why none of us can seriously believe with certainty that the 2026/28 elections will be free, fair, & competitive. If 👇 goes unpunished, there is literally nothing a president cannot do.

To our politicians here:

The Trump administration is now saying they might unite with other countries against China, regarding trade This was LITERALLY the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which Obama negotiated in 2016 In 2017, Trump WITHDREW the US from the TPP (!!!) THE STUPIDITY IS OFF THE CHARTS

I do believe that eugenics is the key to this moment & am even drafting something with a friend about how everything we’re seeing them do today comes down to the idea that everyone else should be in service of the perfect white man they imagine themselves to be

I'm expecting to doubt any data from the federal government now. It will all have to conform to the "Trump admin genius" POV

This thread makes a lot of powerful points and deserves a careful read. Spoiler; it won't cheer you up.

There is certainly no penalty for that in the Trump administration. That graft is approved behavior now.

Marjorie Taylor Greene buying Apple, Pi, Qualcomm, Dell, Amazon, and Lam stocks seems a lot more sus before the tariff exemptions on electronics components, smartphones, semiconductors, and computers. Martha Stewart would like a word.
