The White House was three buildings connected by two walkways and Trump decided unilaterally to obliterate one of those buildings and one of those walkways to build a ballroom paid for by donations given by companies and people looking to curry favor.

Mad King Don needs a song.

Have any journalists investigated the ICE tip line? Is it being used? Are people being targeted based on bitter neighbors or racist “informing” on them?

A dog training clicker could make a good neighborhood alert system.

Just gonna put here for posterity that Trump will (try to) use nukes at some point. My only question - will any patriots be left to stop him?

Historians sometimes say that when societies are descending into fascism, it can be hard for the people to notice it in real time. Well, historians of the future, I’m here to tell you: We are noticing. Millions of us are noticing. And we are horrified and enraged.

🚨🚨🚨Fake ICE reporting site reports to ICE. Be warned:

Stephen Miller pretended to freeze on tv because he knew he fcked up.

This book needs a re-release and update!

If we no longer have a “Department of Defense” perhaps all the companies that produce weapons for the Department of War should be called the War Industry?

The library doesn’t keep records on what books you check out and sadly we’re seeing why that’s so important.

The Chernobyl - Cabaret mashup sucks.

Huntington Beach is feeling very Biergarten scene in Cabaret right now.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

"Healthy debate" = when I criticize you "Cancel culture" = when you criticize me

As we all brace for what comes next, I’d like to tell the writers of this tragedy that naming Kirk’s group “Turning Point USA” was waaaaay too on the nose. Really Chekhov’s gun-level foreshadowing.

Free speech warrior stuff…

“Waste” is people.

When they said they wanted to “run government like a business” I guess they mean the family business. It’s a mafia economy now.

The hats are getting more and more ridiculous. We are in Turd Ferguson territory.

Comedians, SNL, somebody…get on this! Imagine the convo.

“Feed” by MT Anderson feels pretty prescient in light of AI developments and the shitification of the Internet.

Trump united the racist confederate flag-wavers and the rest of the racists who didn’t have the thin veneer of southern “heritage” to claim under the one flag to rule them all - the Trump flag.

I have been saying that prison/concentration camp labor is how they will “bring back” manufacturing.

The fact that Trump’s posts are called “truths” is peak dystopia but the fact he always ends them with “Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Is objectively hilarious. Like, yes, actually we ARE the management. Let’s act like it!

@nancylevinestearns.bsky.social Stephen Miller’s America First law firm is also supporting MAGA City Council in Huntington Beach, CA’s continuing attacks on the city’s public library and immigrant communities. Nazi stuff. laist.com/news/politic...

Feel like it should be ‘Department of “Justice”’ from here on out.

I mean, it’s happened before???

actually a lot of innocent people write birthday letters to child sex traffickers in which they repeatedly reference the secrets they share

I’m pretty sure the final, settled upon MAGA-Land response to Trump being the pedophile we all kinda knew he was is going to be some kind of combo of “those girls were asking for it” and “14 is actually old enough” because have you been paying attention to women’s rights in this country?

“I wonder how the dark ages happened?” I mused as everything that makes life better/safer/easier/fun gets purposely broken and MAGA cheers.

@waterblusky.bsky.social Of fucking course!!!

@hbo.bsky.social You should re-release Chernobyl.

How does the actual legacy media seem to be less “media savvy” than regular folks like me?

Anti-intellectualism is killing people.

Where we are at is the logical conclusion of the “government is bad” ethos of the current GOP - electeds who run on that platform are incentivized to make government worse and prove their own point. The result is corrupt, anti-intellectual officials.

This is what I’ve been saying - the only way to “bring back” manufacturing is through prison/slave labor.

Now I have “Bomb bomb bomb. Bomb bomb Iran” in my head because shit is stupid and my brain is mush.

Security guards too. True story - one of the oddest characters that frequented my library was a skinny middle aged white security guard who would come in and use the computer most afternoons. The only thing I ever noticed him looking at were knives. Just scrolling knives and daggers endlessly.

Ghost Congress: The Reckoning

Ever wonder what would happen if we put the most self-centered, self-aggrandizing man in recent history in charge of the most powerful nation in the world and its military?

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

Exactly! Who are these people? What is their training? What are they being paid and how?

My question is what flags will he fly? This is super ominous to me. Like finally transitioning into full “MAGA is America” mode.

Are they gonna be MAGA flags? I’m serious.

“Normalcy” is what people want, whatever that means to them. The ability to go to work, have food and shelter and hope that tomorrow can be a little bit better. In this climate of “what will the deranged president do next,” it seems like it should be easy message to sell RN.
