It's the most wonderful time of the year

Trump Allies Sue John Roberts To Give White House Control Of Court System talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-a...

This didn't age well.

Linsey Graham has obviously gotten into Elon Musk’s Ketamine supply…

Amazon needs to feel the Tesla pain 🤨

Fascism isn’t coming. It’s here. Anyone telling you you’re overreacting is complicit.

ICE agents are lawless, sociopathic shitbirds. Treat every one you encounter accordingly.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

So… today’s random thought: If you think the fact that crime victims don’t get “due process” when someone commits a crime against them, and that that somehow justifies the government committing crimes… you should probably give up on thinking, because clearly it ain’t something you’re good at.

My offering to The NY Times Pitchbot: Finally. FINALLY! We have a President with the foresight and temperament to work towards peace in the Trade Wars!

In other news: Unless Taylor Swift starts singing some of the songs I’ve been sending her, I’m just going to stop sending her any at all.

Where have I heard stories like this before… I can Nazi - em to remember …

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

Thought for the day: Sure, the NAZIs were awful, and they killed millions, directly and indirectly, but after a decade that fiasco ended. Whatever you want to call what Trump is doing now, it can’t last forever.

It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025. Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

My son pointed out to me this morning: And interesting thing to note. When Nazis first started making camps and killing people they did most of it in other countries. Auswitz is in Poland.

I am so freaking old, I still remember how Republicans kept talking about how Biden was going to crash the economy. And that was supposed to be a bad thing. Now, Trump is in fact actually destroying the stock markets, and the GOP says that’s great.

It bears repeating…. @elienyc.bsky.social is right.

As it seems to be The Time again, we should discuss loins and the girding there of. Nothing like having your loins girded in moments of strife and uncertainty and we all know everyone like a good properly girded loin.

Does anyone still remember all the talk about a “recession” during Biden’s term? (And the market hit record highs?) Now that Trump had tanked the economy, the Vishy press is SILENT about the economy. Weird.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

A fitting tribute

Dana Bash can just go away; that’d be great.

Watching Putin’s little stooges try to bully Zelenskyy in our goddamned White House is pretty repulsive.

PSA: If Trump’s performance in the Oval Office with Zelenskyy didn’t embarrass you for our nation… you are in a cult.

What the European leaders just don’t seem to understand is is that Trump has the kind of genius usually found only in a weeks old bowl of over-cooked oatmeal.

It's been a week. The shock part is over; the awe part never happened. Time to be throwing sand into the fascist gears, y'all.
