“If he’s not an out and out crackpot, the theory floated by wild conspiracy theorists is that Donald Trump is some kind of Russian asset. I cannot say how absurd this is do not believe a jot or tittle of it. And yet…” My column www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/views/69483/...

Woke up with this tune in my head. Is Ren here on Bluesky? @ren? I’ll post the “Luigi meme” clip of this that made this song internet famous 4 years ago. Funny/coincidental that it features Luigi in the meme, given the fact that an in-real-life Luigi has now become the face of fighting capitalism.

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— oh.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

My youngest, who was born with arthrogryposis affecting their ability to walk, is preparing for college and embarking on their first steps towards full adult independence. Accessibility is something most people don’t really understand unless they or someone close to them has ever been denied it.

Mood/feels today. I’m not sure how much I can take of this daily onslaught, and seeing nothing tangible being done to stop it. The meds mix I’m on can only do so much. Talking about it can only do so much. Fight-or-flight fear response may kick into high gear soon. youtu.be/SmhwPSLxepE

"......the entire government gone like that. How did they get in, how did it happen? That was when they suspended the Constitution. ... There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction....." From "The Handmaid's Tale"

Mitch McConnell: Tariffs "will drive the cost of everything up. In other words, it will be paid for by American consumers. I mean, why would you want to get in a fight with your allies over this?"

I’m not a part of the (fill in the blank: “redneck”; “MAGA”;“Elon”; “fascist”….) agenda

I say this as an American:

We’re calling for a National Day of Protest on Wednesday, February 5th. Show up at your state capitol, city hall, or town hall and make your voices heard. Let’s show the world that the American people will stand up for their democracy.

"They want you to panic, but President Trump wants you to remember Jesus didn’t have electricity either and he did just fine." Yes, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt actually said this in response to Canada threatening to cut off electricity to the US if Trump continues to impose tariffs.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Found on a Hamilton Co.TN Facebook group: “A woman I work with who lives in Georgia, told me that while her child’s babysitter was sitting in church on Sunday, ICE came in during the service and dragged her out. 😢”

Headline: Toddler Discovers that Breaking Things Breaks Them. (My husband, Derek Williams, wrote this but didn’t me to share it directly from him, suggesting I simply copy-paste. I keep telling him he should try for a job with The Onion).

With Bluesky now at over 30 MILLION users, I can’t understand why so many Democratic elected officials still aren’t posting on this platform. Is it ignorance, incompetence, laziness, or something else?

"Flood the zone" is ultimately unsustainable for Trump. Don't chase every outrage. Focus on the big stuff, and keep messaging he's hurting the economy, and American families. They want you screaming about the "Gulf of America" while they cut off SNAP for poor kids. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/28/u...
