Why is Rotten Tomatoes so unreliable now? I feel like the tomatometer rating for everything is super inflated now and basically anything under a 96% is terrible and only like 10% of the movies/tv that get ratings above 96% are ACTUALLY good and not just hype.

Elon’s evil munchkins sent this ridiculous email out to all 2 million or so Federal employees demanding they reply by midnight Monday. If you want to let them know what you did last week I’m bet they’d love to hear from you at [email protected]! I can’t wait to tell them about my norovirus symptoms!

This brain rotted loser who wasn’t even born in the U.S. is now our unelected president. Absolutely humiliating to be an American right now.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

How do these people not tell him to go fuck himself? America apparently loves cruelty, so it could only win them points.

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.

Whether in the courts or by way of pressure on the Trump Administration, DEMAND evidence of these claims of fraud and waste. You’d think Trump would be running to Congress & to court to show what they’ve found, and yet…crickets 🦗

The crowd recognized it, responded by cheering, and he acknowledged that in return. It isn't some sneaky thing a few elites are caught up in, dogwhistling to the fringes. It is the base of their movement. Because they're Nazis. Sincere, unambiguous fans of Hitler and everything that goes with that.

Democrats need to call attention to what's screamingly unpopular - About 3/4 of America loves the National Park Service & the Postal Service, which Musk/Trump are moving to destroy. Call that out, & tell Americans Musk/Trump are moving to cut their Medicare, Medicaid, & Social Security. Do it.

There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism. A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer. Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore. They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.
