My latest at Sky Dancing Blog with Featured Funny by @johnbuss.bsky.social wp.me/pgqML-Tfs We knew that Project 2025 would be the basis of policy. Republicans have wanted an Imperial Presidency for some time.They have elected useful idiots as President with the goal of destroying American democracy.

Cool, cool.

No lie.

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

He can’t win without cheating so they rigged Texas ＆ red states with corrupt gerrymanders to lock in MAGA rule. CA fights back with Prop 50. Get everyone you know to vote ＆ volunteer (cadem.org/prop50). Early voting starts soon—Nov 4 is our chance to finish this fight. #YesOnProp50

Mississippi has had to declare a public health emergency due to the concerning increase in the infant mortality rate. To put it into perspective, Dr Warren explained that this very concern increase in infant mortality rate translates to about 20,000 infant deaths a year. #Pinks #InfantMortality

I can’t imagine being insane enough to write and threaten a judge with “tanks and pardons” in support of literally any President. It’s a fucking cult.

Today, I’ll say it again. I swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States. Not to any person. Nothing else.

My latest on Sky Dancing Blog w/ Featured Funny by @johnbuss.bsky.social wp.me/pgqML-T9G I lived in the Quarter for 5 years before settling a mile downriver. I used to gig there. I can no longer take people screaming biblical obscenities at GLBTQ friends or the right-wing white boy droogies.

We are being ruled by the dumbest people on earth.

Oregon AG Rayfield: I know for a fact, from talking to cities across Oregon, that if you pick up the phone and ask, “What could be helpful?” the answer would not be the United States military.

My Latest at Sky Dancing Blog with Featured Funny by @johnbuss.bsky.social wp.me/pgqML-T5F We've thrown the dice and entered the Darkest Timeline. Most professional folks have left, leaving an assortment of incompetents and loyalists. The DOJ is the Don's personal enforcers, skating outside the law.

Ezra Klein isn’t stupid, he’s just a Republican. I wonder at what point people are going to understand what those of us on the academic side have been saying is true that the centrist Democrats and neoliberals are just right wing ghouls attempting to radicalize the party to the right.

Trump literally uses his UN Speech to slam the UN for not hiring him years ago to do renovations of the UN. I'm serious. This is the moron pretending to be President

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

My latest on Sky Dancing Blog with Featured Funny by @johnbuss.bsky.social wp.me/pgqML-T0l There are signs of democracy that indicate a lot of us are not going to go peacefully into the dark night of authoritarianism. We're going peacefully into the streets to protest and boycott businesses

Fucking disgusting. Bury the motherfucker already so he can rot in hell.

Baptized Catholic & educated until age 8 ; confirmed & educated Episcopalian after that. An Episcopalian Acolyte & taught Episcopalian Sunday school for 3 years. NEITHER “conservative” Christian religion accepted comparing ANY mortal to Christ. Nope - not even the friggin’ POPE!

That is an architectual travesty.

Just to emphasize the media portion of this: MSNBC will soon finalize its split from NBC and become its own separate entity (MSNOW). Carol Leonnig was one of MSNBC’s first big news hires in that endeavor. This bodes well for MSNOW’s future as a news organization that will hold Trump to account.

OPE

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

Farmers Wake up. They will get your land next.

Democrats praising an extremist—does that mean liberal democracy has collapsed? This Essay cuts into the facts and asks what comes next. https://americanmanifesto.news/the-death-of-liberal-democracy-and-what-comes-next-part-1

My latest on Sky Dancing Blog with Featured Funny by @johnbuss.bsky.social wp.me/pgqML-SUh We've gone past the notion of creeping authoritarianism. We've got an executive branch forcing us into a Soviet-style Command and Control Economy, and must offer only adoration and no criticism of dear leader.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

BREAKING: Eric Swalwell just told the FCC chairman to hire a lawyer and preserve records because they will be held accountable in 2027 when democrats take the House. Oh and he’s wearing a Jimmy Kimmel hat.

Senator Cassidy noted several times today his commitment to the President’s “mandate for Radical Transparency.” Can somebody brief him on the whole Epstein files situation, then, because we’d all appreciate even the most conservative, mundane transparency there. 🤷‍♂️

WOW -- a screaming Patel crashes out in response to Schiff's questions about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and calls him "the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate" and "an utter coward" and "political buffoon"

It's weird. Kash is acting like how a guilty child acts. Must just be a coincidence.

Corporate media bravely continues Charlie Kirk's legacy by committing to destroy the careers of anyone who disagreed with him: www.404media.co/comcast-nbcu...

Yam Tits is too old and ill to do his job. He needs to be replaced immediately. Between the personality disorder and his obvious dementia, he cannot do the job.

My latest at Sky Dancing Blog with Featured Funny by @johnbuss.bsky.social wp.me/pgqML-SNU Today, I'm going to suggest we give up on the old Greek saying "Don't speak ill of the Dead" and replace it with "Speak honestly about the Dead."

And Portugal announces they are buying French jets rather than F-35s. Great idea to send Vance and Don Jr on a scouting mission as a precursor to a Greenland takeover.

I used to be a Methodist. This seems rational to me. www.patheos.com/blogs/thebal...

I gave a campus talk last night on Trump's first 100 days for the WUD Society & Politics group. A student asked me if I thought that, at some point, we might start to describe the US as a competitive authoritarian regime. I said that we were already there, it's just that most folks haven't noticed:
