Donald Trump has everything he ever wanted and he's still a miserable, angry wretch @ellenbraaten.bsky.social @kenwhite.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

If you don't think JD Vance would divorce his wife and the mother of his three kids and marry Erika Kirk in order to help him eke out a GOP primary win, then you don't know JD Vance @radiofreetom.bsky.social @kenwhite.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

Step by step, Trump's government is helping Nicolas Maduro burnish his claims that he is a populist leader holding back the rapacious gringos @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social @dandrezner.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/w...

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

It's rare that the U.S. government rolls out a policy (i.e. tariffs) that fails comprehensively in exactly the ways the experts predicted. Usually there's some room for debate about the results, but nope, not this time @radiofreetom.bsky.social @crampell.bsky.social

How much longer can the U.S. economy keep generating statistics that are common to a recession without being in an actual recession ? @timmiller.bsky.social @crampell.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

At this point I know there's nothing that's going to change anyone's mind one way or another but this NYT report is deeply sourced and leaves no doubt that Trump and Epstein were BFFs for many years www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

We can DEFINITELY enjoy the fact that Trump is miserable. He’s President and he’s miserable. He’s got supreme power and he’s miserable. He’s insecure, resentful, consumed by bitterness and rage and entitlement, incapable of being fulfilled. /1

"This was a desperate tin-pot leader yelling into a microphone while cornered in his palace redoubt." I'm with @radiofreetom.bsky.social , put Trump on national TV 24/7 www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

"There is no precedent for a situation in which a U.S. president announces major policy decisions (which are based upon delusions) via his social media account in the middle of the night." open.substack.com/pub/bryanfic...

Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump have many things in common--but historically one thing will tie them together more than any other. They have both done more to weaken their own countries than any two US or Russian leaders for a century (if not longer).

Impeach him the second you get a majority, imo. Let this guy lay it all out.

How do international relations work if no one knows whether the U.S. president's words have any meaning ? @radiofreetom.bsky.social @dandrezner.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-a...

As usual @jamellebouie.net is spot-on in his assessment that the media narrative of Trump as the Decider is complete nonsense www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/o...

You can tell from the first scene in this movie that Stephen Miller is going to turn out to be Keyser Soze @radiofreetom.bsky.social @kenwhite.bsky.social

there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke

The is a declaration and act of war without congressional approval, and imperialistic jingoism.

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent. Adopting. Babies. What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?

"But if anything, Trump’s barbarity is getting worse, not better. As he ages, his inferno of hate intensifies." www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The current U.S. government is a Monsters' Ball @radiofreetom.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/susie-wile...

The premise of this article- that Elon Musk can by himself somehow cause the EU to be abolished- is just silly @crampell.bsky.social @dandrezner.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/t...

John Oliver really was not kidding about the overwhelming rebellious power of just saying “Fuck you, make me.”

For anyone who thinks resistance is futile, I would like to bring your attention to just how much less ambitious the administration’s domestic crackdown goals have become in recent months. They’re unpopular, fighting on all fronts, and on the retreat.

Straight to the point, no bullshit, honest headline. More like this, please. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"Would that these immensely wealthy social misfits were merely objects of morbid curiosity for the rest of us. Alas they are not, because they eventually turn their attentions to politics." bryanfichter.substack.com/p/silicon-va...

"Sorry, no. This is not a matter of style. The man is a moral abomination, and so are his defenders." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-psych-...

Absolutely vile. We've had presidents before who were terrible people, but never one who was so shamelessly, publicly terrible. This behavior should not be excused, much less celebrated.

"A serious country populated by serious people is not helpless to solve its problems." www.thebulwark.com/p/america-un...

It's actually quite amazing Donald Trump can still astound us with his depravity.

Think *that* was bad ? Buckle up, because Trump is going to say worse things than that as his mental health declines @radiofreetom.bsky.social @ellenbraaten.bsky.social

Some people seem to have forgotten in the intervening four years that Trump is a grim, angry man who brings everybody down (except for other angry people). The dude's a dark cloud who makes us feel bad ! @kevinmkruse.bsky.social @jamellebouie.net @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered. Masked men eventually left, and one man on the roof was taken away by ambulance kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

ICE PEPPER SPRAYED A ONE-YEAR-OLD because her mother was filming them.

this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

Terrific in-depth piece by @gregsargent.bsky.social of The New Republic on the malevolent Stephen Miller newrepublic.com/article/2041...

This is college in the United States. Video from inside a Brown University building shows the moment that police found a group of students who were sheltering after the shooting on campus. This isn't freedom.

Damnit this is good writing, @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social.

If someone shows this article to Stephen Miller he's going to have ICE raid the Heisman Trophy ceremony this year, he hates Latinos that much @kevinmkruse.bsky.social @minakimes.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/685...

Good morning to #NOLAsky and especially Rev. Jane Mauldin of the Universal Unitarian Church, who has been spending her secular time following ICE around New Orleans and monitoring their activity ☀️
