Just a “former” Marine, embarrassed by the country I once served. It’s never the wrong time to punch nazis.

Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging? Congressman Robert Garcia: Well, he is a dick.

Trump on air traffic control: "We're gonna sit down & do a great computerized system for our control towers. Brand new...let's spend less money & build a great system done by 2 or 3 companies...when I land in my plane, privately, I use a system from another country...I won't tell you what country"

Dear authors, especially marginalized ones - I have your backs and your books. They’ll make me stop buying your books over my cold dead body. - sincerely, your weird librarian #booksky

The last time America increased tariffs like this, it was 1930 — and it triggered the Great Depression.

hey quick question does Goliath win in that story

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

We need a leader like Malcolm! #MalcolmKenyatta

Via Canada’s ambassador bobbyrae48.bsky.social’s twitter; I am still surprised Canada has not invoked Article 5 when the tariffs were explicitly stated to be a precursor to invasion: but do we have friends left after siding with 🇺🇸 & Israel on everything for the last year?

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

When you suddenly start tearing through the air safety bureaucracy with an ax after two decades-plus of near perfect US commercial air safety any plane that suddenly careens out of the sky is probably on you.

Tell us again about how much money it’s saving us by deporting migrants. It will only cost 214 billion dollars to remove the 20 million immigrants Trump promised.

Yeah, I mean if you're just pretending to be a Nazi to be funny, I think you might still be a Nazi.

This ain’t your grandpa’s Republican Party, unless your grandpa was from Germany in the 1930s.

The Hegseth confirmation shows that Republican lawmakers have put party over country. They should be ashamed, but I doubt if they are.

I for one, am grateful to have a Fox News host with zero administrative experience, a drinking problem, and who is accused of multiple sex crimes in charge of the armed forces when my son is drafted for the wars in Greenland and Panama.

Read. Read books. Reading books is resistance. Buy. Buy books. Buying books is resistance. Share. Share books. Sharing books is resistance. Celebrate Celebrate books. Celebrating books is resistance.

Looks like the first felon president will have an alcoholic sex offender in charge of the most powerful military in history. What could possibly go wrong?

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

"History doesn't repeat itself, but It often rhymes.”

Correct!

Everything I have known and been taught about my own country my whole life is that we take pride in our participation in the defeat of nazism. No economic situation is worth sullying the memories of the men and women who fought for our freedom. Do not flirt with nazism, it will not set you free.

I heard from my husband who has friends in other countries that they are calling us #NaziAmerica now. That sounds pretty appropriate actually. I don't plan on being a "Good American". #TheOpposition #Resist

“Weird gesture” “Confusing salute” “Straight-arm gesture” “Roman salute” “Raised-arm gesture” Etcetcetc ad nauseum If you’re a “journalist” who has used any of these terms instead of “Nazi salute” you’re not actually a journalist. Congratulations, you’re complicit.

to be clear, Trump's position is that violence against cops is unacceptable, but pardoning people convicted of violence against cops is the right thing to do because hey look over there!

Two observations on the latest events in Elon Nazi Salute discourse. I bumped in to a few of what I’ll call civilians today, people who aren’t that plugged into politics and don’t spend any time on political social media. Each mentioned the salute thing and were upset/surprised by it. Comments …

Day fucking one.

Angles matter.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you don't make excuses for why it's not a duck when it does a seig heil.

I don’t care how many times l see this. It will always make me sick to my stomach.

Oh god, the Germans can see this, can't they? Many of us are very very sorry.

As a reminder, it is always ethically correct to punch a n*zi

“It was a Roman salute” yeah totally and a swastika is an ancient Hindu symbol with no hateful baggage attached to it whatsoever

Sometimes when people get really excited they get a little disinhibited and suddenly you’re doing a seig heil salute. I mean it happens.

call me crazy but when I was a kid being violently opposed to Nazism was fundamental to being pro-American
