contrast this to a year ago when there was very little anti-Trump messaging in public from anyone in a position of power or influence this is an big change and it does indicate his power over the elites - who have been much more deferential than society at large - is starting to wane

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Literal congenitally-poor spatial reasoning, in my case. The impatience came from the high school algebra teacher herself.

Someone has put up an Upwork job post looking for someone to write an anime fanfic for them. ... Yay for at least not using AI?

This is so good, and necessary, and maybe especially so for us liberal Trekkies (aka most Trekkies) heat-death.ghost.io/th-yesterday...

"News" (it's not surprising) that Vance has been booed at the Olympics reminds me how STRANGE it is that the MAGA talking point is "aCtuAlLy tHe wOrLd LoVeS tRuMp" and *not* "Yep, they hate us! It means we're doing something right! We hate them just as much or more, fuck yea!!" Why not be proud?

Will Stancil just used "three-cuing" as an insult for the tipping-point Trump voter, and I'm *cross* that I have no choice but to hand it to him.

Listened to @polphilpod.bsky.social's Fascism and Fiction ep and wished once again that there was a Star Trek series or movie *about* the period around the imagined Third World War & first contact itself, *about* the move from war/fascism to one world govt.! Right now it's a side show & hinted at.

Dems should demand a full ICE withdrawal from Minneapolis as a condition for any deal. Please, just give us this. Get them out

"Oh it's moral rot. Oh it's divine punishment." It's a social, material consequence of lack of urbanization and fetishizing the rural. Fetishization that these caterwailing people are doing at the same time in many cases.

I wish the US left would care about urbanization.

Obviously I disagree with some points here, but this article also says valuable things; there really is a fascist/"gangster" transnational movement: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/o...

Almost the entire planet is going to celebrate when It happens.

Folks. ⬇️

Bovino's out because he can be fired. How do we get Schumer out? He must still have majority support in the caucus. So, now what?

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

Until Miller’s gone these are just gestural purges to sanitize and consolidate his reign of terror.

I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT NO GODDAMN "REACH ACROSS THE AISLE" UNLESS YOU TRYNA PUNCH JOSH HAWLEY IN HIS THROAT

GOP? Down with it.

Pappanazi. We must name and shame these clout chasing ghouls.

Thread: Give the primary challengers money and other support as they build visibility.

Articles of impeachment, hold up business, stop voting for his nominees, make public statements that aren’t piles of weak shit. For a start. It’s weird how we’ve seen GOP wield influence out of power multiple times but somehow Democrats are just widdle beans.

Dems having online apologists who tell off any critics is an underrated factor in their unwillingness to get better.

It's very telling about how we got here that this obviously-correct post is being met with cope. And pretty arrogant cope.

It’s not personal. But this is Americans’ responsibility, collectively, even though tens of millions of us made a different choice.

So why haven't Americans converged on DC to protest? *Fox News is the largest main TV network by viewership *non-Fox News is still giving *a lot* of deference to the presidency and the man that even liberals consider normal and would be angry if changed *the lack of respect for or instinct to

Of course, pretending that "why don't the Americans protest?!" is adequately answered by "the US is a larger and more sparsely populated country than you think, European" leaves out the key point that ... that's why Trumpism exists at all. Trumpism is a rural phenomenom.

Yes. It's been hard to take.

Every last bit of this was considered better than the idea of a Black woman's presidency.

The only thing that "which party do you trust more on Issue X" poll shows in any actionable way is that Dems have failed to tie Trump and the GOP around each others' necks. Mostly this is because both many Dem electeds base voters think there is/can be daylight between the two.

The surest way to deal with pro-Newsom inevitability is to talk up other potential contenders.

None of this is going to fundamentally change unless and until the ironclad power of the GOP over red states is credibly challenged. And the only way to do that is urbanization of those places.

So where are the primary challegers

The thing about the Insurrection Act *discourse* on here is that this admin just believes in will to power, not What the Law Actually Is. "The Insurrection Act isn't actually a start martial law/Game Over button!!" Okay, yes. Does that stop the admin from acting like it is?

I hope one big thing that emerges from Minneapolis is an appreciation of Midwestern/Plains metros *and a desire to expand and build up more of them*. Urbanism on the praire. Urbanism in the mountains. That's how the US gets out of Trumpism long term.

Are you supporting this or aligning with the enablers? bsky.app/profile/robi...

The group is rotten from the core. It needs to be abolished. As your constituent, the aim now is ABOLISH ICE. If that cannot be achieved, any guardrails need to be ironclad to avoid any "qualified immunity" nonsense and each one prosecuted and held individually responsible for their atrocities.

Members of Congress should be openly stating right now that military action against Greenland will result in impeachment and removal of the President and the Vice President.

For Renee Nicole Good, for her wife, child, city, country, and every person she died to protect... it's fundraiser time. I'm giving $1 to Community Aid Network MN for each repost this gets. AND $1 for each new follower I get. And if YOU donate to Community Aid Network MN, tell me and I'll match it.

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?” 1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore. 2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions. 3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

Democrats are simultaneously beginning to refer to ICE and CBP agents as "poorly trained." This message comes from leadership. They're trying to use it as a substitute for dismantling ICE and CBP and imprisoning their current employees. Don't fall for it; don't take any Dem seriously who uses it.

Americans want their education crisis to be something other than an education crisis *so* badly.

Uh, the president has plans to invade a treaty ally and the Senate leader of the other party is ... nowhere? To be heard from? To issue a release? Sen. Murphy is very nice and all! But where the hell is Schumer?

The fact—political, social, cultural, economic—that the US is ruled by its rural areas lies behind this RFK beef madness, as well as so much else. They aren't ending the corn subsidies to get Americans to be healthier.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

The only answer right now is to impeach Trump and his administration. Between this, Venezuela, threats against Greenland and others, massive corruption, obstruction of justice over Epstein, etc. Take your pick. @citizensimpeachment.com has plenty of draft articles ready to go.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.

Raisins are good in trail mix, and that's all.
