This sundowning felon is trying to weaponize government while not understanding what all these different colorful things on his phone do. Also, he is complying with the Presidential Records Act and preserving a public record of these communications for future prosecutors.

Oh my GOD. This is the first official confirmation that the new H-1B entry ban does not apply to people with current visas (despite the text not containing ANY exception for people with current visas), and it’s not even something on an official website, it’s a passive aggressive tweet!

My teammate on an H1B was just starting some fieldwork at a new implementation site for safe+natal. But instead of engaging with our community partners, he's rushing back to the US this weekend to avoid the possible $100k ransom. Science is impossible under these conditions.

trying to imagine what kind of ghoul would watch this at midnight on a Friday

“signs up for email list for resist lib mass protest” is roughly on par with “donates to the dccc” in terms of risk and if you cant even be expected to do this, you are of no use as a political actor

a big reason companies are caving this hard is that they're banking on hunkering down for the next 3.5 years and then coasting by when the dust settles Democrats need to make it very clear that there will be future consequences for defecting in this prisoner's dilemma

I think ABC should have dared Trump to follow through on his threats to revoke the network’s nonexistent broadcasting license, of which no such thing exists

Just updated my regular look at what power sources are driving the US electric sector on a % basis. Nice cause for optimism. Renewables still growing. Coal use slightly increasing recently but all at the expense of natural gas - which is just economic switching.

Rainn Wilson is a mystical woo ding-dong so this willfully ignorant hippy-dippy stuff isn't that surprising

Institution after institution, we see that what actually deters Trump is standing strong & telling him to fuck off. Trying to do "whatever possible to to avoid provoking Trump" in fact provokes him bc he sees that as demonstrating weakness & believes weakness is an invitation to do whatever he wants

You are not Making a Difference there. You are not Fighting the Good Fight. You are not even Maintaining a Community you couldn't easily replicate elsewhere. You are propping up a right-wing site and, worse, you are being warped by your constant exposure to it and you don't even realize it. Leave.

Let's say it again: 1) Harvard said "No," and Trump has backed off. 2) Chicago (and Illinois) said "No," and Trump has backed off. It's day by day. But those who said "OK, sure," have gained nothing at all. Except shame.

and what do you call your act? Civility!

Didn't think Meghan had it in her

Trump is consistent: He never even pretends that he's president of the whole nation.

That both of Turning Point USA’s founders are dead from public health crises their organization worked hard to enable is a parable for our time.

When a movement gives itself ideological permission to deny reality, disaster is never far off. They can deny it's Trump's signature in the pervy birthday book with no real consequences, but they deny stuff like this at their peril.

Lot of discussion this year about how we should regard Trump voters who claim not to have known what he would do about immigration, dismantling the federal government, etc. I feel like a similar conversation is due for people on the left who claimed to believe he'd be no worse on Israel/Palestine.

While Donald Trump loathes this fact and desperately want it to be otherwise, its worth pointing out as many times as we need to: he is not the only person who gets a say in what happens in this country

This is what this ultimately comes back to— RFK and MAHA is primarily about blaming women for everything.

yes sure, but let @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social remind you that it's really more about POLES AND WIRES heatmap.news/energy/why-i...

Trust no man named Shawn or Sean. And obviously avoid a 'Shon' at all costs

Yeah it’s sort of funny but I’m a 100% unironic believer in that “good times create weak men” shit now, it’s totally accurate, it’s just that the kind of guys who posted it the last few years were the weak men in question.

Had a MAGA relative who hated the government and thought charity was a fraud. She handed her life savings to a Nigerian romance scammer

yes exactly tho I kinda hate that we've settled on the "high trust vs low trust" terminology since the supposedly "low trust" group is hilariously trusting! they are defined by being gullible, credulous rubes who trust claims by others instead of critically interrogating them

That's pretty much the entire regime consolidation strategy, which is why I still think it will be unsuccessful. A successful coup in the U.S. would probably avoid the authoritarian aesthetic and focus on winning the loyalty of key power blocs. Trump is doing the opposite.

Broadly speaking, our problem is not that the congressional GOP is a bunch of spineless wimps. It's that 40% of the country appears to be a combination of a death cult and sex pests and has elected politicians that are part of said sex pesty death cult.

Big win for Sean O'Brien, congrats Teamsters

Only losers bet their future on fossil fuels. 🔌💡

very excited to announce I have been featured in Liberal Currents, writing about what Zohran’s pro-housing policy should look like! here’s the TL;DR: 1) upzone, upzone, upzone 2) address hard costs & permitting 3) leverage the public sector 4) appoint the right people 5) sell the vision

I feel better knowing this is happening.

Oh one other thing: if they go through with a prosecution here, there are a very long list of Republican electeds and judges that are almost certainly vulnerable to the same trick and it should be used as broadly as possible.

This is the wheels falling off. It doesn't happen at the speed of posting. But this is legitimately the fastest collapse of a US administration in the modern era.

"Organize the people MORE" We must wield the awesome power of empty nonsense, it's the only path to victory. Take it from Nina Turner, who can't win anything

I genuinely love driving slow on the highway. I love keeping my loved ones safe while also making the most angry and aggressive people on planet earth have a brain aneurism at 52 mph

Do kinda feel like we're in a mild Gettysburg analogy where the WH just starts committing more and more because it has no off ramp

josh barro: I saw glonzo drinking a piña colada in adams morgan. his hair was perfect.

Anyone who calls the New York Times "the Gray Lady" is a dork

Posting his bond could be a tremendous marketing decision for the right hoagie place.

Trump is a bigoted fascist operating at a third-grade reading level whose policies are completely incoherent. He believes in absolutely nothing but attention, wealth and power. the closest the NYT can get to explaining this to readers is to proclaim "this isn't your grandpa's republican party"

In all seriousness, the Smithsonian cannot function in a meaningful way were it to bend to this illegal, authoritarian executive aggrandizement. The Smithsonian should fight, and if it loses I'd rather it close than replace every mention of "the Civil War" with "the War of Northern Aggression."

If there’d been any fentanyl in that sandwich that cop would be dead

EVs save Americans $6,000 in fuel and maintenance costs, and they reduce toxic pollution from gas-powered cars. This congressionally obligated funding for chargers helps put us in the driver’s seat on the road to climate safety.
