This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

astronauts are borderline sacred in american culture and billionaires are broadly unpopular and one would hope for a leader to find his way to "this weird asshole bought a rocketry company to use the profits to try and build an american oligarchy and i have lived in fucking space"

Trump voters wanted the rest of us to suffer to feel great again. They wanted us to experience pain. The ones crying now with "I didn't know Trump would do that" mean they didn't think it would affect THEM. But they were perfectly fine with everyone else suffering. Alas. We're all in it now.

Trump Cabinet is the Legion of Doom.

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

I always thought the Trojans were kind of dumb when they saw a big wooden horse outside the gates of Troy and thought it was a good idea to bring it in. The USA is a real life example of welcoming a Trojan Horse.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

I forget the actual wording but there was a great tweet about how the Democrats are like a band that just spends all of every show telling the crowd to calm down.

The funniest part of this era is the every five minute uncovering that one of the white nationalists is racist.

They arrived at the United States border from around the world, hoping to seek asylum. Instead, they were detained, shackled and flown by the U.S. military to a faraway country, Panama. Our exclusive look at a new front in Pres. Trump’s immigration crackdown:

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING

No one is hyperventilating, sir. But it's an easier concept for some to understand than his decimation of public services etc. It's not arcane regulation, it's not financial chicanery, it's not legalese and loopholes. It is what he believes, and it is antithetical to why this country was founded.

Great work here by @stevanzetti.bsky.social and #TexasObserver. This is why I support independent journalism.

Lol

Trump describing Zelensky as an unpopular dictator who started that war is full on DARVO stuff. And what is Putin in this worldview? A beacon of democracy defending his homeland?

Gleeful sadism.

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

this is the kind of thing that makes you really wish for a well-timed lightning strike, because this guy does not have the personality to hold the cult of personality together if he were to abruptly ascend to the big chair

if you were accidentally fired while transporting a nuclear warhead and currently need a place to stay with said warhead please know that i have a sizable backyard and an abiding desire to be a nuclear power

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.

All we’re asking is that you treat the Republicans at least as harshly as a staffer who got a coffee order wrong.

If you’ve been scolded by the Pope AND by the Auschwitz Memorial in the same week, it’s time to take a minute and reconsider your choices.

seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism

Transgender people deserve to live as our authentic selves, no matter what President Trump says.

🤔

i bet the other nazis talk mad shit about him. like wow elon 14 flags basic af.

Because of DOGE, countless Americans are going to die.

this does sound a lot more like musk than trump

unlike, apparently, a fuckton of people, I had not forgotten how exhausting this demented son of a bitch is.

European friends: Do not accept lectures on democracy & freedom of speech from an Administration that denies the 2020 election results and is now suing & intimidating news outlets whose reporting they don’t like. Stand tall against right-wing extremism. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

There's a Crisis of Masculinity in this country and the only way to solve it is to let me act like a cross between a baby and a movie villain

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

This is fascism.

I can’t say I’ve thought about inflation that much since the US Attorney in the district you and I both live in had to resign because the President wanted to make a corrupt deal with the Mayor, backed by the threat of a dangling DOJ prosecution, to terrorize immigrants and people of color here.
