Oh man, this actually worked

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

“I’ll give you something to cry about” as government policy

You're just talking yourself into giving up. When cops beat up a guy in an antifa shirt on TV, most Americans don't give a fuck but watching cops beat a guy waving an American flag and a "God bless the USA"shirt, it's frightening wake up call. A stark difference I shouldn't have to explain to you.

ICE is thug trash.

“WHOAH! Be careful not to step in that pile of shit there!” exclaimed the man pulling his pants back up.

Remember, Republicans control the White House, both houses of Congress, and even the Supreme Court. ALL branches of the government have bent their knee to Donald Trump and it's day 10 of a federal government shutdown.

CPD Superintendant Larry Snelling's declaration describes more about what happened after CBP shot Marimar Martinez. They got a call from location where she fled by 10:32 (CBP says crash happened at 10:29). They arrived by 10:36. It took an hour for CBP to make it the few blocks to where she drove

Believe them when they tell you who they are.

This man sells himself as the representative of the nation's Christians. There is nothing Christian, in this message. There is no love in this man's heart. Christians that follow him are turning their back on the base principles laid down by their Lord and Savior. #C̶h̶r̶i̶s̶t̶ian #OldTestamentChristain

HEROES! They can only win if we let them.

The US President is arguably the most powerful man on Earth and it is insanity that the base level competency expectation for that position is "many other people are as unwell and unhinged as he is". It has to be one of the craziest things I've heard over the last 10 years of Trumpism.

I spent some time with OpenAI's new AI video app Sora. Not just slop but ragebait, fake crimes and women splattered with white goo. The implications of all of this are horrifying.

Trump in 2011: "If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the only who has to get people together!"

These people are absolute trash.

Whites fled integrating cities because of their own racism, often ruining their old neighborhoods as they left through arson and bombings as well as dropping industrial rezoning and interstate highway placements across once nice areas in a vain effort to build up racial barriers.

The real problem are the Americans who didn’t vote for anyone

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

The great unifier.

A press release to beg people to stop criticizing Trump and DHS & ICE agents who are attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping people off the streets, operating concentration camps where members of Congress are not allowed in, and rendering people to foreign lands they've never been to 🤔

Silicon Valley spent years replacing real world human communities and interactions with poor digital facsimiles of them. Now, they are marketing AI friends to alleviate the loneliness epidemic that their products continue to cause. I wrote about why this is destined to fail. Gift link:

/6 I don’t think that Dan or Erick are eager to submit to fascism, exactly. I think they’re more throne-sniffers, eager to find what power they can, and content to sneer at and criticize anyone who stands up. If that life satisfies them I leave them to it.

Can Jimmy Kimmel sue Brendan Carr, or other federal actors, for violating his First Amendment rights by coercing ABC to suspend his show, and maybe eventually to fire him? To teal deer it, yes, but without an effective remedy. /1

Anyone who spreads hate in the name of Jesus and destroys freedom in the service of Democracy believes in neither Jesus or Democracy.

I predict by this time next year guns will be the carrot and the stick that Trump is beating his cultists with. If you want to keep your guns, you'll do this, you'll patrol your neighborhood, you'll report on your neighbors, you'll gather where I tell you and you will shoot who I tell you.

My local #Costco store has decided to refuse regular customers until 10:00 a.m.. only allowing "black card" members in before. I only have the morning to shop and cannot wait that long. I already pay for access to the store and now I'm supposed to pay more for access to the same thing?

As the Right pushes hard to punish anyone who said anything they don’t like about Charlie Kirk, they will be offering you several narratives about it: (1) We’re only doing this because YOU did it first, YOU invented cancel culture, turnabout is fair play (2) YOU pushed us into this /1

Many of these homeless are veterans suffering from traumas received in the service of their country, defending the people who now just want to kill them, I mean, perform involuntary lethal injection, otherwise known as murder. This. Is. Insanity.

There doesn't seem to be a manifesto yet so I don't know if this one of @radiofreetom.bsky.social's Lost boys or not but the profile seems pretty close. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This can't be said enough. Celebrating this kind of activity will win no battles but it could lose them.

The #paramount+ app is the single worst functioning streaming application in existence. How has it not become defunct yet?

Standing up for due process isn’t standing up for criminals. It’s standing up for the fact that the truth isn’t just whatever the loudest or the most powerful person says it is.

The US President is openly declaring war on one of the largest cities in his own country and at least 20% of the population is cheering it on. Explain how this ends without blood. Will words and elections be enough to turn this back?

/2 Rather our human instincts are kill and brutalize and dominate THEM, impose the law on THEM, make US ascendant, punish those who dissent or think or worship differently than US. That’s the baseline. Civilization requires some crucial minimum support of civilized ideas among leadership.

It isn't fair that so many Libs are refusing to get jobs just to own Trump and MAGA. #trumponomics

*whispers* Voting

3/ To elevate and oneself in an ideologically homogenous group, but when that jargon breaks containment, and starts being used as a cudgel in a more ideologically heterogenous population, you're going to get blowback. Browbeating people is not a good way to bring them to your side and vote with you.

Remember everyone: Guns don't kill people, laws that let mentally ill people get guns kill people.

If your industry can't build a product without stealing from artists and writers, then you should be financially ruined.

Every American should be ashamed to see this.

without downloading any new images, where are you mentally?

The "end the forever wars s" president wants to rename the Department of Defense to the War Department because it "sounds too defensive". What an idiot. He doesn't have a clue why it was renamed but "war department" makes him feel tough and helps him forget he is a draft dodging coward.

Trump is kicking things into a higher gear. Things are going to start happening faster now. Soon. Nobody will be able to protest at all. I thought that the midterms might be our last chance now I'm worried we might not even get there.

Trump is establishing a private Army right now. You can call it whatever you want. The Gestapo, the royal guard, secret police, etc. Etc. They're all the same thing. They are being created to commit extra judicial acts, disappear opponents, and terrorize citizens who speak out. Wake up! Fight back!

While most are debating how long it's going to take for America to become a dictatorship, few see we are already there. Trump has done egregious damage to democracy and no one has stopped him. Today he took further action to destroy free speech. He is already a king. We are all already his subjects.

One crucial front in the war against fascism will be the right to photograph police. The cops have always hated that right and they and their various lickspittles will push back at it at every turn.
