Dems should be explicit that when they retake Congress and the White House they will be stripping his name off of everything. The ego damage would be significant

One thing is clear: Mike Johnson will not have seen it.

also the story is going to be how the media covers it, because largely the political access press is not up to the task

The danger of “we already knew who/what Trump is, so we don’t need to keep up with the latest outrage,” is that it can obscure the ratcheting steps by which he drops even faintest veneer of democratic practice. In general, each rhetorical escalation marks an IRL increase in state violence. “

I’m not reposting Trump’s latest obscene racism, because it’s widely posted. If you don’t know what it is, look. It’s not news in terms of telling us who he is—if you didn’t know this by now, you’re not going to—but the blunt openness of it is a rhetorically violent escalation, & that is news.

🗞️In their meaty story announcing the WAPO layoffs, the NYT did not give ONE mention to Bezos bending his fat, little knee at Trump's fat, little feet as the reason. 🗞️This is like reporting on a five-alarm fire and failing to mention the arsonist. 🗞️Our legacy media has completely failed us.

Gonna beg media not to just repeat Trump's obviously bullshit framing in the headlines. Tell readers the truth in the headlines. Alternatives: "With Artists and Audience Fleeing, Trump Closes Kennedy Center Indefinitely" "Trump Says Kennedy Center Needs Renovation, Despite Recent $250M Renovation"

Classic SCTV and its original troupe of unknowns-to-allstars were amazing. The film/tv spoofs were artful comedy genius! Here’s Catherine O’Hara in a “Monster, Chiller, Horror Theater” version of an Ingmar Bergman arthouse film “Whispers of the Wolf.”😂 #CatherineO’Hara #SCTV youtu.be/GMVrMHQk95s?...

Just a fundamentally evil, malevolent person. Rotten to the very core.

Democrats Condemn ICE For Murdering Without Proper Warrants https://theonion.com/democrats-condemn-ice-for-murdering-without-proper-warrants/

Welcome to America, where Republicans only care about injustice if they see themselves in the victims.

Alex Pretti’s coworkers take a moment of silence this morning

“I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say ‘The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the f*ck they want and make sh*t up as they go along.’” — George Conway

New in PN: The regime's mind-bending lies are a tactic "The VP told them they could kill anyone who annoyed them. Pretti annoyed them. So they killed him. Now the lies Bovino and Noem are telling about Pretti’s death are intended to encourage further extrajudicial executions and likely will do so."

We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. snyder.substack.com/p/lies-and-l...

If it is fascism now it was fascism then but if you were wrong no need to pause to make a special effort to admit your error -- we don't have that much time now, please act right away, get organized, and then tell your followers what you are doing to stop fascism and what they too can do.

If you’re just figuring out now that yes, it really is fascism, that’s fantastic & I think you’re great & I’m glad we’re on the same side. I don’t need to scold you. My desire for “told-ya-so” is as useless as your denial was. Let’s move on together to the fight at hand, each as we feel called. 1/2

435 Members of the House of Representatives. 100 U.S. Senators. One rogue, cruel, mad despot President. Nearly 350 MILLION people in the United States. 535 men and women, with the help of one clown court, keep this petty tyrant in power. This shit is the best we can do? I refuse to believe it.

“If you have 9 Nazis at a table & go sit with them, you have 10 Nazis. For a year, and long b4 that, and *this week* House & Senate Dems have been going along to get along, playing Trump’s fools, while he literally puts America in a chokehold. This is what it gets you. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

They say “where’s the gun?” — After the shots Because they don’t realize one of them had already taken it — before the shots

This energy in perpetuity. Just say no to fascism. #Resist #Casablanca #TCMParty

WHO removing Us Flag

“Justice is blind” Michele Norris gives a whole new meaning to the phrase rn. Ofc the justice system has always had different rules —depending. But what happens now when the very foundation of that flawed justice system - don’t matter (to our government?). How do lawyers in good-faith defend that?

Watching the reporting of ICE and what they are doing to children and families. Good god, what a scourge upon humanity Donald Trump is. Of that there is no doubt and history will tell the tragic tale. But that so many millions of Americans supported him is even more grotesque.

U.S. completes Trump EO demand to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO). Surely, emergent infectious diseases will know to stop at our borders. We are in the dumbest, most ignorant timeline. Thanks to our dangerous clown fool of a president and the sycophants who support him.

Deporting the “worst of the worst.” Which in this case means the married dad of 3 American Citizen kids, legally pursuing an asylum claim, taking care of his son with brain cancer. The whole “exhausted” family will go to Bolivia w him. May ICE rot in hell. 🎁article share.inquirer.com/XEJoxS

“Wall Street cheers news that Trump won’t start WWIII (today, anyway)!” Forgot to add we still have a monstrous sociopath in charge. The bar is set so damn low. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

He’s in Switzerland, where they are more or less all speaking German.

Greenland, Iceland someone tell him the one he really wants is “the rich, fertile land just a bit to the south of Vinland” and maybe we can still get out of this

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.

EXACTLY 👇 THIS

You’re reading this right. The Government (EEOC) wants to collect names /info of Jews at UPenn under the pretext they’re “witnesses” to … something. We are reliving some hella history here in Philly.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us. WE'RE LIVE NOW ⬇️

*Senator* Dave McCormick, that is, the NY/Ct gazillionaire who was born in PA. So his wife as president of META will spend time building partnerships with governments. I’m sure. It’s like here in Pennsylvania we have no U.S. Senators at all. 🎁 link. share.inquirer.com/LRfsZU

But, Pulte knows nothing about it. They lie more effortlessly than they tell the truth. finance.yahoo.com/news/bill-pu...

let’s go Eagles! 🦅

And I’m gonna "like" this post every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #Justice4theVictims_NOW

The goal here is martial law. It’s martial law. Let’s be clear about that.

Greenland has voted to rename itself Epstein Island so Trump and the Republicans will claim they’ve never heard of it, never visited, and have no interest in acquiring it.

Pets run to me to see what’s up rn bc I just caught the clip of Trump today desecrating and befouling the name and reputation of Renee Good and was screaming “shut the fuck UP, you fucking monster!” It was worth almost busting a blood vessel and the furries forgave me.

hate it when the trump administration’s killing civilians abroad agenda is temporarily overshadowed by its shooting civilians domestically programs

When the LAPD arrests a dude at a gas station they don’t take over the gas station and use it to gas up all the cop cars tho

The Trump 2.0 horror is what happens when cruel bullies aren’t given consequences to their actions. Early on. Donald Trump has been trained to know he can get away with it all. Hard to believe this prescient Saturday Night Live sketch was NINE years ago. Still “TBD” youtu.be/aXzjxVYPjys?...

How about “both Mr. Maduro and Mr. Trump denied the results of a national election which they lost, and both returned to power, but through different paths.”

I did

I’ll be on MSNOW talking to my friend @velshi.com about Trump and Venezuela live at 10am Eastern.

Going live shortly

While waiting for @mehdihasan.bsky.social: Normalization & fear in corporate news media. Trump’s invasion of a sovereign nation, kidnapping its leader & lying to Congress about it — is an “intervention”? Kinda like when ya try&take the car keys away from grandpa? Really, @MSNOWNews? #Venezuela

The dead airspace that remains Venezuela at this hour. Flight Radar shows commercial flights avoiding Venezuelan airspace. Some U.S. military aircraft *were* visible earlier but, if still present (I’d imagine so) could be on restricted signals or have their transponders off. #Venezuela

What I haven't seen is anyone commenting on the fact that Trump informed the American citizens of an attack on Venezuela and the 'capture' of its leader, not from a SCIF, not from the Oval office but via a social media platform from his country club in Florida. It's beyond parody.
