I have not enjoyed being able to see this coming but not figuring out how to stop it 😢

it’s not a strategy, they’re just rolling over for trump and they say stuff like this to trick people into thinking it’s some sort of plan. I’m genuinely embarrassed for America that there are still people taking them at face value

No one person will ever meet this moment.

One of the only good things that came out of the entire political crisis was the chance to meet even indirectly other people that gave a damn.

More people are paying attention but not enough. I believe we are getting some sort of intentional economic crash combining destruction of long held govt benefits, spending, with forced contraction in business activity due to uncertainty. They’re cutting social security and also food banks.

I don’t know if you can go underground these days with all the technology. It’s an interesting hypothetical.

Excerpt from pages 166-73 of They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45 by Milton Mayer (interview with German citizen) who lived through Nazi regime

You can tell a real life person that we’re at the point where there are multiple CPAC nazi salutes but it doesn’t register as, like, a problem.

This is how it feels right now

People keep asking why no one is raising the alarm or why no emergency measures are happening or why people in power are letting this happen, but I’ve realized over time that they do not actually want the answer.

There is still an opening for a good list person, maybe more than one. It’s journalism and people would pay for it.

Received family members social security card replacement- took a week to get. Got dogs microchip info updated. Tomorrow we tackle “what to do if they ban ssri’s” and “rat proof storage containers”

If anyone has any good plans on how to stop the relentless march of dystopia in America and globally that they can immediately operationalize don’t hold back for dramatic effect

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

It would take bringing the entire country to a screeching halt to stop this. I think Twitter might be deboosting content of people protesting, it feels kind of hidden.

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place advait.org/files/lee_20...

Tesla is on the downtrend right now, their last earnings showed that the core business is declining and they were only saved by a bullshit accounting trick. You just gotta make it totally toxic to own a Tesla or Tesla stock. Like undateable toxic.

Not to get too intense about everything going on but it is really an ideology of death run by evil skeleton people who drink from a dread altar of blood

This is going to sound like shade at first but please hear me out: Liberals understanding the machinations of US government often make them think they are more qualified to discuss politics than we are. But even if that was true at some point, it no longer applies. The old rules have been torched.

"it's time we purged the woke CIA" is one of those things that your brain just sort of sputters and stalls out when thinking about it. it's so incomprehensibly fucking stupid in literally every direction you can think about it.

This time they came not to conquer but to destroy.

The fact that the Elon commandos went straight for the federal payment systems tells me that they intend to short circuit the whole thing to modify, destroy or control it outside of extralegal channels. Maybe dramatically. Maybe they’re just integrating bitcoin.

Get your social security card if you don’t have it.

January was personally the roughest month I’ve had in awhile there was a major catastrophe like a flood or an emergency repair or a car crisis every 2-4 days for about three weeks straight but the bad luck tapered off right as we entered full collapse

A significant number of the MAGA people have realized that not only is Trump not their friend, he is the antithesis of what they wanted. This is good.

I'd say that for at least the last decade, if not longer, that this is all it has been. The marketing is innovation for the consumer the actual output has been anti-regulation, anti-labor, anti-environment, anti-progress, designed as addictive, damaging profit sucking money laundering schemes

Trump does not give a shit about the report because it’s totally meaningless. The only people who care about the report are democratic partisans who have assigned it an outsize importance for no apparent reason.

I know it may feel like Trump walked back into the Oval Office without a fight, but it’s important to understand that Biden outsmarted Trump

You’re told you need to vote for the democrats because they’re the only ones who can stop the republicans. turns out they can’t stop the republicans.

Trump is 100% going to swallow Canada and Greenland - that’s prime real estate for climate collapse. Arable land, shipping lane access. Very valuable.

I can’t do the nicknames. It’s so cringey. I don’t know how people can convince themselves that the richest most powerful people in the world would be hurt in the slightest by being called Elmo or Drumpf. They’re people who can literally murder countries.

It’s not just that Trump was mysteriously immune to consequences in the last four years - he’s lived his entire life above the law no matter how serious his crimes. Sometimes he pays a fine, but not always. I think I know why and in the coming days I will argue my case. It’s up to you to decide.

I don’t think there was any 5D chess going on. I don’t think there was ever a master plan or “big things happening behind the scenes.” In the end, there was nothing except a willingness to do bipartisanship with Trump. What mean?

All these people who are blaming voters for the election loss, doesn’t sit well with me. Not at all.

I believe that in the next two weeks or so, things are going to get violent. I believe several events are going to be orchestrated to give trump pretext to crack down on dissent at home and launch a war(s).

Also the 2000 election (hanging chads, brooks brothers riot, Supreme Court) and the 1980 election (Reagan’s team conspiring with Iran to hold hostages back and screw Jimmy Carter). The elections are not as clean as we’d like.

Her: why are you in the shower for so long? What are you doing in there? Me:

“Now that I’ve muted the name of every person or thing that upsets me, I can finally enjoy reality in peace.“

Hey, at least saving for retirement doesn’t seem like such a big problem anymore

It was never plausible that the full weight of the federal government couldn’t stop Trump. The government can do anything it goddamn pleases, when it wants to.

We tried to warn everybody about merrick garland and how every case against Trump would fail but people wanted to pretend that big things were happening behind the scenes

There will be famines and people will still be arguing about DoorDash

Real life science fiction dystopia with real life bond villains, nothing has prepared you for truth being so much stranger than fiction. Very disorienting to process at first, but eventually you get used to it.

Some of the biggest people who bullshitted you about the institutions have deleted all of their tweets about merrick garland so they can’t be held accountable for their bullshit.

I will. I think people can only see my tweets if they manually visit my profile on Twitter, they no longer appear in feeds.

I asked Grok whether my posts would be considered “negative” under the new algorithm and it’s basically my entire account - and maybe also yours
