once again, it is great that the president is a klan-level racist

I'm just glad the Constitution isn't alive to see this

Folks look at you like you’re crazy when you say we’re in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & yet this man is still in office acting like a Mad King & getting away with it 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Exactly this: “Just as Hitler’s failures led him to resent the German people ever more strongly and destructively, we can expect Trump’s growing frustration to result in ever more nihilistic and destructive actions as his term moves toward its end.” Excellent piece by @davidrlurie.com

Oh man, okay, this is the second time this week that Trump has falsely claimed that the BBC lawsuit was about them using AI. It wasn't. (Trump also said this during his 60 Minutes interview, didn't get any pushback.)

Trump: "I took three cognitive tests. Aced all of them, by the way. I'm the only president to take a cognitive test. I don't think Obama could pass it. The first question is very easy -- it's a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. They say, 'Which one is the bear?'"

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Trump and Hitler share a similar vision of Europe, except Trump wants to come from the other direction.

If you are prone to tempermentalness please stay out of the way of ICE. They are looking to push your buttons. Lost eyes. Ears. Your life. Do not try to be a hero.

American Federation of Teachers is (finally!) dumping X, and moving to Bluesky. Good for them!

For the rest of my life: "We can't pay for--" fuck you they paid for ICE to ravage our cities. "We can't just defund--" fuck you they abolished the Department of Education.

Condé Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]

124 new measles cases in SC since Friday for a total of 2,144 cases across 44 states. In normal times, CDC would be surging funds and staff to state and local health departments to try to contain outbreaks. Now? Nothing. This is RFKJ, a believer in "natural immunity", telling us to "tough it out"

don't write songs about it or make tv shows about how bad they feel about their actions or or movies or comics or music videos about it. they are fools. they are an embarrassment to humankind. they are the mcdonalds happy toy version of nazis. our job is to make sure they know it

I walked Riley around 10 am and even for Florida that is HOT for January! I don't want snow but a couple of weeks of sweater/hoodie weather would be nice.

DHS labeling Renee Good a ‘violent rioter’ fits its ongoing propaganda campaign The government’s broad, seemingly reflexive use of “violent rioters” pushes the noxious idea that it’s criminal to publicly gather and express outrage at government officials. Luckily, their effort is failing badly.

Whoever the next Democratic presidential nominee is, I want them to pledge to tear down Trump’s monstrous ballroom after they take office.

My Trump-voting neighbor is confused why we’re invading Greenland and I’m confused why he’s still surprised by literally anything his president does.

there is no positive route forward for the United States without mass arrests and trials for DHS employees

Find a local anti-ICE protest this weekend.

👇🏽

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons

The purpose of journalism, especially when reporting on authoritarian actions, is to say what happened, not say what a wrong or lying person claims happened

Both of these statements are true yet they can only be said in the “opinion” section of the new york times

Dems are still approaching this wrong. I just saw a BBC host ask a state senator if Tim Walz should call out the National Guard. He says, "No, because Minnesotans know how to protest peacefully." THAT'S NOT WHO THE GUARD IS FOR. THE GUARD IS TO PROTECT THE PROTESTERS FROM LAWLESS FEDERAL AGENTS.

New column today: zeteo.com/p/trump-us-r...

Chant extra loud for me because I am at the "I'm breastfeeding and can't risk tear gas and also have unresolved 2020 trauma but do you want me to babysit while you go to the protest" stage of making adult friends

feeling out the “idk if you guys are into this but we’re going to a protest this weekend” stage of making adult friends

Its one of the few ways I know to make adult friends. I usually phrase it as "want to get drinks and cathartically scream in public"

We have lost our way. 🇺🇸 😳

She tried to leave and was murdered by ICE officers who have no authority over AMERICAN CITIZENS‼️

Remember that time Greg Bovino oversaw a paramilitary attack on an apartment complex inhabited by civilians in the name of chasing Tren de Aragua and they never produced ANY evidence to back that claim? www.propublica.org/article/chic...

I spent the last week rewatching season one of The Pitt, which I love love love. I am sitting down, ready to watch the Premier of season two. who hoo!

After 9/11, the US invoked Article 5 of the NATO treaty and every NATO member helped to combat terrorism. Some of our closest allies, like Denmark, went even further, voluntarily sending troops to Afghanistan and Iraq in support of US-led wars there. Today, Trump is threatening to attack Denmark.

This is threatening a fucking member of NATO. What are we fucking doing seriously.

Mine mom gedt an newe cate bed. She say “Jasper, idt is an BANSKET nodt an cate bed!” Budt Ime dissagree becaws luk howe gud Ime fidt! Purfeck size! #cats #catsofbluesky #MomIsRong

The prime ministers of Norway, Sweden, and Finland have come forward with statements of solidarity with Denmark and Greenland.

oh no he's worried! next time republicans act illegally and slaughter citizens, maybe they can send Dick some sleepytime tea and a lavender neck pillow to comfort him after?

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country? There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Marco Rubio on Cuba during the press conference: "If I lived in Havana and I was in the government, I'd be concerned ... at least a little bit"

Why are people assuming US troops and not Eric Prince employees will enforce US order in Venezuela?

Wow.

Ok let’s keep playing this.

Ugh.
