Elon Musk fucked up the whole world.

Seriously. For me, not thee. F this guy. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Rep. Lisa McClain: "For the people in our country who want to turn this country into a communist country -- leave. Go to Europe where they are experiencing this heat wave and they don't have air conditioning. See how well that works for you. I'm proud to be an American."

Today's NYT jobs report coverage (left) compared to exactly 2 years ago under Biden (right). Notice the numbers.

This is only the beginning. He has no plans to leave office or allow free elections. Nor are his plans hidden—they're all unfolding in plain sight. The Insurrection never ended and the Christofascists won't stop until our democracy is gone. Choose who you'll be in this moment.

Evil. Fucking evil. Donald Trump is evil. He’s an evil human being.

This. He’s removing the glue that has kept us afloat and dominant for almost a hundred years. Nothing that’s happening makes team USA stronger in the short term or long term. This is pure and utter sabotage, something out of Xi’s and Putin’s dreams.

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

“Schools across America are quietly admitting that screens in classrooms made students worse off and are reversing years of tech-first policies” #chromebook #scam

THAT WOULD PISS OFF TRUMP!! LOL!!!

It's crazy that the world's only hope is that he's just bullshitting again

Stay ungovernable 😉🐕

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

I am hopeful that the war in Iran will bring needed democratic change to … the United States of America.

If you're rich you get a tax cut, if you're not you have to work longer and harder. Populism! bsky.app/profile/atru...

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

The U.S. Embassy in Denmark removed 44 Danish flags honoring Danish soldiers killed in Afghanistan outside the building, drawing outrage from the country’s veterans amid heightened tensions between Copenhagen and Washington. https://wapo.st/4rfbSOz

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

"This doesn't end until Trump and Trumpism ends," George Conway told me. "We're not going to last three years if we don't get rid of this guy. And the framers of the Constitution provided for a mechanism to get rid of an evil, self-serving, grifting tyrant." www.americaamerica.news/p/a-conversa...

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

What could go wrong?

This >>>

🤷🏼

There's significant evidence from state legislative term limits that they do, in fact, empower both lobbyists and state executive branches. "Disagreeing" without offering any counter-evidence is just vibes.

Kinda seems like Trump punishing Colorado for not releasing Tina Peters (who tried to help him steal the election) from prison should be a bigger story

The underpants gnome theory of AI strikes again AI --> ??? --> Profit! maarthandam.com/2025/12/25/s...

Here’s the U.S. government being officially religious in a country with no official religion.

Exactly. She probably thinks that by her making this video will get them to change or create legal carve outs for her and people that look like her.

Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

There are definitely things that have gone down. Hope, for instance. Faith in elected officials and institutions.

The people complaining about how the left is holding onto the past by complaining about replacing the East Wing are the same people who raise 47 kinds of hell over removing statues of old, white racists who committed treason 160 years ago because HIsTOrY.

Absolutely outrageous!! 😡

What could go wrong?

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

📌“The fact that I am American means, among other things, people can’t say, like they did about Francis, ‘he doesn’t understand the United States, he just doesn’t see what’s going on.’ “Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed?” -Pope Leo in a direct rebuke of the hideous Trump

Why doesn't Donald Trump remember that he was President on January 6th, 2021?

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

We face an open open question as to whether the president, anywhere, anytime he pleases, can execute or round up people he says are terrorists—without due process. That we are even entertaining such a discussion tells you how far Trump has damaged democracy open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

I hope you have someone in your life that has your back like Trump does for rich pedophiles.

Ron Johnson: "Quite honestly, by now it should be obvious to every American that it's not the Republicans that are a threat to our democracy. It's President Obama, it's President Biden."

LAWLER: They are playing pure politics here and it has to stop COLLINS: You don't think the admin is playing politics by only canceling projects in Dem states? L: Listen, I'm in NY & I'm a Republican & obviously this project cancelation impacts my district, so it's not just Dems getting impacted

"MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too" too also he agrees the president is unhinged

Ty Cobb: "The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection... America needs to learn from the mistakes that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was reelecting President Trump"

If only we’d known in 2015 that we could just turn off the escalator.

Huh. Who'd a thunk?

In today's Letter, @hcrichardson.bsky.social has it all: extra-judicial killings, persecution of political enemies, censorship, ongoing purge of government officials, concealing information, & colluding with enemies of the state through inaction. Welcome to fascism. We won't have it. We are America.

The right really does want to force this country to accept that they can say the most heinous, bigoted shit and they can never be held accountable for it
