The rich and powerful don’t get their wages garnished when they default on a loan. They declare bankruptcy and end up paying pennies on the dollar, if anything. Like Trump did many, many times.

Feels like something is going on in MAGA social media groups. They are attacking the European Union and trying to insert their disinformation into European political debates more and more in recent weeks. Maybe I am being a little conspiratorial, but it feels coordinated and absolutely not organic.

2025 has been a very good year for Oligarchs: Forbes reports that Elon is now worth $700 Billion after the Delaware Supreme Court restored his voided Tesla stock options. #Elon #Oligarchs

“Near the bottom of the image, however, is an open drawer with multiple photographs of Trump, including one never-before-seen image of Trump posing alongside young women, at least two of them in swimsuits.” This image (file 00000468) has since been DELETED from DOJ’s website, just flat REMOVED!

Things that will age poorly.

Welcome to Trumpistan

With RFK, Jr. pushing the conspiracy theory that Lyme disease was invented in a secret US government lab, remember that Ötzi, the 5,300 year old mummy found in the Alps, had the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. #RFKJr #Otzi #LymeDisease #ConpiracyTheory www.acs.org/education/ch...

Trump's such a piece of shit.

So, El Fasher looks like one of the worst single event atrocities to happen this century so far, but the evidence has come in such a trickle it seems to only now be getting verified

The Trump administration has killed nearly 90 civilians at sea and is refusing to release its legal justification for these illegal and immoral strikes. We are demanding answers — transparency can’t wait while more people are murdered by our government.

This is a great screenshot. Pretty much tells you all thast you need to know.

Look, I have nothing against the modern incarnation of Antifa, but stop inventing a false narrative about the original group. It was the early 1930s paramilitary arm of the KPD, the German communist party, not allied soldiers during WWII. The KPD opposed both the Nazis and democracy.

I'm always surprised that many people think criminal law is self-executing; that if Pete Hegseth, Kristi Noem or some other Trump apparatchik is caught committing a crime they will be prosecuted. Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi isn't going to allow prosecutions, and President Trump is prolific with pardons.

Rats, I didn't make the list, again.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Were Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe sworn in as Special Deputy US Marshalls, less than 24 hours before being shot, as part of an effort by President Trump to evade Judge Cobb's ruling that deployment of the National Guard in Washington, DC was illegal?

National Guard Members Reported Shot In DC, White House Locked Down

The Trump admin submitted a sworn declaration under oath that Costa Rica had changed its mind and would no longer take Mr. Abrego. Costa Rica has now said publicly that that this is false, that they have not changed their position at all, and that they will still take him.

I am genuinely surprised that so many of the far-right European propaganda accounts turned out to be Americans pretending to be Europeans.

Does the Washington DC metro system need a ringbahn, a train route circling the city, to complement the current hub and spoke metro layout? If so, where should the route be located? #WashingtonDC #Ringbahn #Metro #PublicTransportation #CircularRailway #DC

Thousands and thousands of people are in this situation; giving up their cases and accepting deportation because they can't bear being in jail any longer. In many ways, that is a major point of detention.

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

Social media influencers who routinely blame "the media" or "mainstream media" for bad things happening are, without exception, grifters. Every. Single. One.

The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious

A reminder of why the Epstein files remain so important to Trump's base. "The foundational belief of many of the QAnon followers is that Trump is a heroic figure fighting the elite pedophile ring." #Epstein #QAnon #Pedophile theconversation.com/how-the-qano...

TIL that a MAMIL (Middle-Aged Man In Lycra) is a derogatory term for guys of a certain age who take up road cycling as a sport. But it's hard to imagine a less objectionable way to have your middle age crisis.

"It's inhumane because the conditions are bad. There's a lot of people in a room and there were only two bathrooms," Torres said in Spanish. "There were showers, but only one of them was working and they had no curtains. And you practically slept on top of garbage."

We are a world laughing stock!

If a social media meme seems too good to fact check, fact check it. Don't contribute to the onslaught of mis- and disinformation. Bot farms and 50 Cent Army-type operations get paid to spread this crap. You don't. #misinformation #disinformation #50CentArmy #BotFarms #Memes

Two problematic science fiction tropes. 1. Interstellar, especially intergalactic, travel. Wagon Train In Space ain't gonna happen. Concentrate on preserving earth, not escaping it. 2. Time travel. We can't change the past, but we can avoid repeating the same mistakes. That's hard enough.

1. A comms guy threatening reporters by siccing the White House on them. 2. The wife of a WH official threatening a pundit's citizenship. 3. A drunk ICE agent saying he'll check an arresting officer's status. These are all the same thing.

Is anyone surprised at this point?
