🎥 NEW: When Hungary's Viktor Orban lost his election, he accepted the result. When Trump loses, he cries foul — and his base follows. @marcelias.bsky.social explains why the GOP denies election results, what Orban's defeat can teach us and how a movement can defeat Trump👇 https://bit.ly/4mtUioZ

Billionaires get paid in stock worth billions. They use that stock as collateral to borrow billions. They use those borrowed billions to buy everything, including media outlets which then pump bullshit like this to keep you in the dark about the tax loopholes designed just for them.

My forthcoming book, “The Fix,” dissects the mob-like tactics of the Trump regime and proposes ideas to reclaim our democracy. Available now for pre-order here. www.barbaramcquade.com

this guy cannot be real

In surveys, a majority of Americans favor allowing the popular vote, not the Electoral College, to determine who becomes president. But Democrats are far more supportive of the idea than Republicans.

I've written before about how USAID was the first government agency killed by conspiracy theory. This confirms it. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-death-...

When you add it all up, the collapse in immigration looks like this: a decline of roughly 50K for illegal (even including the people arrested and not released) and a decline of about 132K for legal. Over 70% of the cut in immigration has come from LEGAL immigration.

NEW: 50 House Democrats introduce legislation to establish a Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties, citing Trump’s unhinged, “volatile & incoherent” actions Bill enables Congress to play its role in 25th Amendment

😡😡

File under "dudes are not okay." Crossfile under "the economy is not okay."

WOOOOHOOOO!!!!

Reporter: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? Trump: It wasn't a depiction. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And had to do with red cross as a red cross worker, which we support and only the fake news could come up with that one.

Whew! Hillary Clinton this morning on the US-Iran talks that fell apart: “This is hard, disciplined effort that has to go into diplomacy to reach any results. And I don’t see this administration either wanting to do it or, frankly, being capable of doing it…”

As a person who represented dementia patients when they were being committed to nursing homes, many went into hallucinogenic states. Trump's portraying himself as Jesus at three in the morning is proof of his rapid cognitive decline.

There's got to be a name for this but Google is slowly but surely shuffling every feature into its slop machine to force users to enable them to get even basic functions out of the systems. How long before you can't copy / paste text unless you enable Gemini or Copilot?

We have ten solar panels on our house roof and they are doing great. If there were at least 50 over every car park of any size feeding chargers for EVs and back to the grid, how much better would we be doing as a society?

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.

Destructive actions have destructive consequences. As chaos grows, the rate of inflation last month was three times the prior month at an annual rate of almost 11%. Real wages are falling, and consumer confidence has fallen to the lowest level in 70 years. (1/2) bsky.app/profile/benz...

As one Vermont college finishes its last semester, an estimated 442 others may be in trouble. n.pr/41xZy1d

Even his cultists on Truth Social aren’t thrilled with this one from the demented megalomaniac.

Right now this country is making it easier for folks with $1 billion to get $2 billion, but not making it easier for working families to put food on the table. I’m proud to stand with Teamsters Local 988 and fight for working people, today and every day.

one of many reasons i will never accept abandoning my trans siblings or the broader queer community for the purposes of "a bigger tent"

Seems less than ideal that we’re led by a guy who can’t comprehend “winning” a war isn’t only about who blows up more stuff and kills more people (And still thinks it’s ok to mock an entire religion)

This machine kills fascists

It’s been 50 days since the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s illegal tariff taxes & he still has no plan to pay back the money he stole from American families.  When are they going to see the $1,700 he owes them? Return the money, NOW!

Can anyone from the Knoxville area help me identify these two individuals, possibly with Knox County Young Republicans? DMs should be open. Email: phil dot williams at newschannel5 dot com.

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

Today marks 58 years since the Civil Rights Act of 1968 was signed into law by Lyndon B. Johnson, prohibiting discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing. It combated practices like redlining, which denied Black Americans access to mortgages and homeownership.

US capitalist democracy is fascism, and has been for a long time.

President Donald Trump and the GOP are attacking voting rights through executive orders to roll back mail-in voting and the SAVE America Act, which would impose strict ID requirements. But to some far-right Christian influencers, that’s small potatoes. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

DO CRIMES, NUTELLA JAR BE FREE

A jar of Nutella just gracefully drifted across the space capsule and if the company doesn’t make this an ad IMMEDIATELY, they are fools.

Absolute cinema watching that jar of Nutella escape contain behind the backs of the astronauts after packing other things away

THE NUTELLA HAS COME LOOSE

Absolutely incredible Nutella ad.

Trump could appoint two more Supreme Court justices—cementing a Court that could threaten our rights and favor billionaires over everyone else for decades to come. It’s time to ring the alarm bell and push back by holding Trump and Congressional Republicans accountable in the midterm elections.
