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.

Man, people will soon be begging for the days when we had egg, food inspectors, and free transgender.

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

Extremely fascist things happening. While everyone sits there obediently.

The first nationwide database tracking misconduct by federal police officers has been shut down by President Donald Trump, deleting a resource that experts said improved public safety by helping to prevent bad officers from jumping to new agencies and starting over.

THR: “.. Paramount now signaling that it’s prepared to go on the offensive .. leveraging the threat of uncovering information about Trump’s financials, including with respect to his social media company .. and the cryptocurrency he launched, in discovery.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Mr Garcia, I have drafted an appropriate response for you. You're welcome.

I usually try to reframe even tho I slip up from referring to what trump and musk are doing as a “reign of terror” (I usually go with reign of horror, cribbing from others who’ve used it) because even tho the reign of terror was bad, French revolutionary had many good ideas and the core ideals…

The US is refusing to co-sponsor a UN motion backing Ukraine ahead of Russia's full-scale invasion 3-year mark. The US, under Trump, is joining the axis of evil

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, just 11 years old, “took her own life in Texas after she was tormented by classmates who threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities and have her family deported from the US, her grieving parents have said.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

CALIFORNIA — ex NFL punter Chris Kluwe arrested for civil disobedience protesting at the city council in Huntington Beach, where the council planned a “MAGA” display on a plaque at the library. Context: www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootb...

Civil disobedience is often necessary. Thank you Chris Kluwe.#civil disobedience

We are one news cycle away from Trump giving military aid to Russia.

It will get to the point where he orders troops to do illegal things in country - then blood

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Trump went to the South this weekend. Not to visit flood victims in Kentucky, but to have his security drive him around a race track. He doesn’t give a shit about you or your needs. He’s on a vanity tour for the next four years.

Gee thanks, but we've already been invaded by a hostile force.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Federal employee terminations will cause widespread economic damage even beyond the hardships for specific employees How many federal workers live in your state or county or congressional district? I made an little interactive site to tell you economic.github.io/federal_work...

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

Trump wants to gut Social Security but he just spent neatly $11 million in one month of our tax dollars to play golf. Trump is the Marie Antoinette of America--and we all know how that story ended. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

@juliusgoat.bsky.social

After all we've seen in the past 3.5wks, I cannot believe anyone is confused about this. Musk. Owns. Trump. Trump sold Musk the functions of the Presidency; in return, Musk spent $250M to ensure Trump won instead of dying in prison. Trump just licenses his name to the deal: POTUS in name only.

Rape joins corruption and imperialism among values US promotes abroad. www.ft.com/content/3f95...

That's not even a notice from USPS. That letterhead is from his HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. How do I know? Because I live in the same fucking neighborhood. And yeah, Clay, in our BYLAWS, that we agreed to, when we bought our houses in this neighborhood, your mailbox is REQUIRED to have a door. Dumbass.🤦🏾‍♀️

That's one way to lower the cost of Social Security.
