It’s batshit that Trump’s approval polling is just now dipping below 40%, which is still higher than the proportion of eligible voters who bothered to vote for him. Like, you passively want your president to destroy the country but not if you have to leave the house to weigh in.

I wonder if everyone in leadership at large companies and government agencies was threatened or blackmailed into going all in on AI, an unfinished, project in progress with no ethical or legal guardrails. Because that would make more sense. 1/

It never ceases to infuriate me how hard people will trip over themselves to defend strangers accused of sexual assault, because they heard about someone being falsely accused once. Women do not benefit from coming forward. They’re treated horrifically, as seen in many comments today.

Pentagon: Don’t be lying alarmists! We have tons of munitions and haven’t been haphazardly deploying our stockpile with no plan! Also Pentagon: Out of bombs, need another trillion dollars urgently, for freedom and (Protestant) Jesus.

I’m genuinely surprised that Bondi was next. But she didn’t “botch” concealing Epstein evidence. That was her assignment. Her crime must have been failing to punish Trump enemies fast enough. And she’s a girl.

For once, I think Trump knows exactly how it sounds when he says they’re going to have to force themselves on states (to steal elections). He’s delighted that he has gotten away with raping children and women for probably his entire life.

I just learned that Susan Brownmiller died, less than a year ago, at age 90. 2nd wave feminism changed everything for American women, and made a lot of mistakes in the process. She changed my perspective as a fledgling 3rd wave activist, and I was so fortunate to have met and thanked her.

Time to enlist, manosphere! Finally put to rest those rumors that you’re insecure babies with no redeeming qualities and show the world what you can do with your thousands of hours of CoD play. 🦅

Is there a place to check whether Trump has been seen on and given day? It’s not much, but there was one night when we got pretty hopeful and I’d like to have more of that feeling while we wait for nature to take its course.

Political social media is at least 50% people saying how much earlier they predicted a predictable atrocity than everyone else. Just look at the dates on these tweets of yore! Oh, to be one of only thousands of people who have been gloriously proven right. This changes everything!

Sexual assault survivors who speak out publicly against predators with vast resources represent millions of survivors who know how they will be ridiculed, degraded, blamed, and dismissed for coming forward. These heroes are more brave than most of us will ever be, at a heavy cost.

Words that should not be used in an other context except their literal meaning: “rape” and “slave”. Your reduced department budget has not been raped, and your holiday cooking efforts are not “slaving”. Please stop doing this.

Did Trump exclusively appoint predators and defenders of pedophiles to his administration? Mutually assured destruction and no messy crises of conscience to worry about.

Withholding federal research funding from universities as a shakedown will only lead to more demands if the institutions capitulate. Harvard’s endowment is over $56 billion. They can keep the lights on until one of the several potential remedies occurs, without fellating Trump.

I have been so sad and disturbed to realize that Trump’s fans fundamentally love the affirmation that it’s fine, even good, to want to harm strangers. They enjoy being spectators to suffering because they want to inflict suffering too. 1/

The Disaster Relief Fund is a separate pot of money used for recovery following federally declared disasters, as well as paying CORE personnel. CORE employees continue to work during government shutdowns. It is not true that FEMA stops functioning during a federal funding lapse. 1/

May every ICE employee who is supporting operations, because they’re garbage humans or “just doing their jobs,” never know a moment of peace or be welcomed by any community for the rest of their existence for being a part of this insurrection against the American people.

Thanks, AI! You really get us, and the purpose of dry measuring cups, in this product photo. I prefer 2/3 cup blue jello cubes in my milk, but your family recipe may vary.

How many counterterrorism functions have been wiped out or reassigned to exact revenge on Trump’s behalf? We are vulnerable, distracted, making new enemies, and losing our allies. 1/

The administration is saying if you exercise your right to free speech and association and therefore “have ties” to opposing or critical views, you may be shot in the head and deserve it.

One way to combat the spread of vile hate messaging is to not repost and highlight it, in order to say how vile it is.

Seriously, is Miller trying to destroy the country because he was really hideous in high school? Like, cartoonishly ugly. Is his villain origin story having that face and subjugating others so he’s the most powerful potato?

I only read 19 books in 2025, and don’t want to try to guess the number of hours rage-scrolling poorly reported clickbait. More books in 2026.

Mike Johnson is a bad actor and a bad actor. Is he “disappointed” that the Epstein docs bill passed w/o amendment because he has to feign defeat after acting on Trump’s orders this whole time, including this vote, or because the staged reversal makes him look weak?

Reporters are going to be thrown out of the press corps anyway, and Trump still won’t answer any questions, so why don’t ANY journalists challenge him to his face? They’re just reporting on the batshit ramblings in lieu of answers and can still do that.

Duffy saying normal flights will resume when the shutdown ends indicates a punitive rather than safety measure. Overtaxed ATCs won’t instantly become refreshed and fully staffed when they’re finally paid.

We are all sandwich-throwing guy! Congrats on your acquittal on a misdemeanor charge, after the fed gov’s failure to get a felony indictment (twice). Taking the small wins until the big prosecutions.

How far we’ve fallen to not even care to appropriately acknowledge the death of Dick Cheney, a total POS of the highest order before his competition showed up.

Once again reminding my former fed colleagues that clinging to a job that’s not paying you as your mental health deteriorates is not a victory just because they want you to quit. If you have other options and are hanging in for the fight, it’s one-sided. 1/2

The vile President and his cronies are delighted to starve out Americans when they don’t get November SNAP benefits. Desperate parents with hungry children are a different group of protesters. 1/

Normally, a large scale military or DHS operation would come with logistics support so you don’t have to depend on your victims to feed you and provide facilities. Gnome complaining about Chicago invaders not having their choice of local cuisine is not sending the message she thinks. 1/

I’m fascinated by the online comments of Trump voters whose lives have been directly negatively affected by one or more of his illegal orders and they think it’s because his advisers are lying to him, and he must not know that they are suffering. 1/

Shut it down! The threatened actions will be pursued either way and Dems should know by now that capitulating doesn’t get any of us anything. They should not continue to fund a corrupt regime that uses our money for illegal acts and Gnome’s cringe photo shoots.

They’re going to be so mad that the shooter doesn’t match their preferred profile. St George is extremely conservative. Was he also “radicalized” online and no one is actually responsible for their actions unless they meet the criteria?

You’re not obligated to mourn the death of bad people, or feign sadness. You can object to criminal violence without lauding the legacy of those who espouse blind hatred and foment violence against others for merely existing.

I think what’s missing from reports of FEMA’s decimation and readiness is that the President has unilateral authority to declare fed disasters, so no money or resources are going to impacted states unless he approves the dec request.

The worst parts of atheism are believing my dead loved ones simply no longer exist and I’ll never see them again, and knowing that shitty people aren’t doomed to the eternal suffering they deserve when they finally die.

It has become increasingly more difficult to identify legitimate sources of information in 2025 mass media.

The collective yawn by Dems about the present dismantling of our gov suggests they either don’t understand what’s happening or don’t care because they think their interests won’t be affected.

While the Epstein evidence is being Trumpwashed for release, reminder that there are countless Epsteins currently trafficking children and they all have many complicit customers and employees.

Surprised by the number of former fed colleagues who think this all goes back to normal after Trump. Those jobs are now permanently unstable after we saw how easily one person could do this.

Tried to watch an interview with a former fed agency head about current events on 5 news websites before giving up because of ads and pop ups that I can’t scroll to dismiss on mobile. Even paid subs.

20 children are missing in Texas following a flash flood. The FEMA Incident Management and Search and Rescue Teams that would have helped have been fired or forced out, to move more money to ICE, to detain your neighborhood tamale lady.

Fuck you, #LisaMurkowski, you lying coward. Ignored the math about how many Alaskans you’d fuck over for a few meager crumbs for your little Alaska donors. You fucked an entire country for like 5 people who gave you a little palmed cash.

Americans, YOU can run for Congress. Our elected representatives are old and tired and doing fuck all to help their constituents. It’s you. Right now.

Trump wants power, revenge, and money. Project 2025 is incidental to him because his goals are entirely about his thirst for vengeance and bilking American taxpayers to directly and indirectly funnel money to himself. Efforts should be focused on translating this bill for red states.

Remember when email spam really took off and everyone’s inbox was drowning in Viagra ads? The ceaseless requests for product reviews are now that. I don’t want to provide feedback about every small purchase I make, even if you ask five times. Please send me the thing I bought and go away.

It’s not a sufficient excuse, but members of Congress have stated that they’re afraid to move against Trump because they fear for the lives of their families. Because there’s a real chance of the sitting president of the US doxxing them for criticizing him and this is normal now.

Don’t let Trump voters off the hook when they object only after his fascist and illegal actions personally affect them. They were the deciding voting bloc, knew that other people would suffer and were fine with that.
