“I want a flyover! I want a battalion of Abrams tanks! I want an Oompa Loompa!”

Wow. Listen to Bruce Springsteen kick off his European tour, talking about what is happening here.

This is grade-A bonkers.

Holy payola!

So! 70% of Republican #taxscam tax cuts will go to the top 5% of Americans. Govt. of, by and for the plutocrats. budgetlab.yale.edu/news/250319/...

What the average household pays in taxes each year to subsidize corporations: $870 ———— What the average household pays in taxes each year to subsidize PBS and NPR: $1.50 Think about the alternate reality these people are trying to sell us.

The bunk stops here.

This is the voice inside our heads screaming to be heard.

Happy School Library Month! I love this quote from (Republican) President Dwight D. Eisenhower: “Don't join the book burners. Don't think you're going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they ever existed. Don't be afraid to go in your library and read every book.” @aaslala.bsky.social

Wouldn't it be a shame if people started sharing this Christopher Shields cartoon on Facebook, X and other social media where MAGA supporters would see it? I mean, they're already crying over their 401(k)s and IRAs today. Why harp on their mistake, right? fightthefire.substack.com/p/this-years...

Trump approval ratings soar among one group of Republicans. Cartoon for @fightthefire.bsky.social

Everyone needs to understand what Elon and DOGE are building, an AI driven panopticon that will know everything about you and will be used to ensure compliance with their fascist agenda. They are creating a unified database of everything the federal government has on every single American. 🧵1/

If you’re not using @resist.bot, you’re not taking advantage of the world’s simplest way to tell your representatives how fucking pissed you are and demand that they get off their asses. For issue after issue, it’s as easy as checking your texts. resist.bot

So y’all, just so I understand this: a man who somehow has to make approximately *$300 billion* stretch over his statistically remaining 34 years is deciding that you don’t need social security.

You’re fired.

Remember America’s best and brightest? They’re under genocide watch from America’s most corrupt morons.

Fuck every Democrat who voted to hold the beer for the MAGA executioner. What we needed was defiance, hope and anger and what we got was shuffling and bootlicking.

This whole shitstorm could not have ended up better for the Russians if they had planned— Oh, wait.

The Fraud Prince for @fightthefire.bsky.social Civil servants are heroes.

A South African psychopath billionaire is taking nukes to what it took us centuries to build. Call your senator TODAY at (202) 224-3121 and DEMAND that they vote against the continuing resolution. No funding without a stop to this insanity. This is our leverage. We won’t help these monsters. #NoCR

Poor man wanna be rich, Rich man wanna be king, And a king ain’t satisfied ‘Til he rules everything - Badlands, Bruce Springsteen

Friggin idiots. Now Trump can draw hurricanes in marker wherever he wants them

Defeatism is exactly what Trump, Vance, and Musk want us to feel.  They’d like nothing better than for us to give up, so they can have it all. Cynicism and hopelessness play into their fetid hands. Keep up the fight.

“If you want to shrink something, you must first allow it to expand. If you want to get rid of something, you must first allow it to flourish… …This is called the subtle perception of the way things are. The soft overcomes the hard. The slow overcomes the fast.” Lao Tzu, from Tao te Ching, 36

Don’t bother watching the State of the Union address. Here’s the real version, in handy cartoon form. @fightthefire.bsky.social

Benedict Arnold, Aldrich Ames, Robert Hanssen: people who sold out the United States of America for their own gain. You know. Traitors.

Whatever you think about Pete Rose, interesting that one of the few times Trump takes any interest in sports is when he has a chance to pardon a cheater.

This year’s model @fightthefire.bsky.social

Trump and Vance seem eager to reenact a version of Neville Chamberlain’s “peace for our time” in Worldwide Wrestling Entertainment fashion. My latest at Fight the Fire:
