2025 sucked. In hopes of a better 2026, I am pleased to present the 5th annual batshittery bingo card.

Replace "good" with "American" and you got a slogan.

I've just started reading this transcript. I'll do a thread (below this post) of parts that stand out to me as I read. The progress will be sporadic, as we're planning to watch some movies tonight (having a wild New Years over here! 🥳)

Today is March 7309th, 2020

If we’ve learned anything these past few years, it's that: 1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires 2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers 3) Poverty is a policy choice 4) Health care is a human right 5) Strikes work Let's keep fighting for a better world.

Not gonna tell you that I told you so. But I told you so...

Filling in for Fox Propagandist Sean Hannity on Fox, deplorable plastic Nazi scum Tomi Lahren decided to use the trashy program to condemn President Biden for spending the holiday season with his family. President Biden hasn’t been in office for nearly a year, you fucking idiot.

Everything Trump Touches Dies!

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

IF THE SHOE FITS Justice Brett Kavanaugh isn’t happy that his name has become synonymous w/racist immigration enforcement. ICE’s policy of detaining people based on ethnicity is called a “Kavanaugh stop,” named after his ruling that allows it. He’s afraid the name will ruin his “legacy.” Too late!

The entire reason they’re locked is to prevent weird freaks like this who have no right to be there from marching in and endangering the kids.

Disaster recovery should not be a luxury product! Profiteering private companies are scumbags.

"I hope this scorpion stinging me as I dutifully ferried it across a river had nothing to do with its nature"

the thing is, “differing political views” used to be about what percentage to tax high earners and not whether brown people are humans

How many lawyers does it take to search for and redact the words “Donald” and “Trump”?

The rumors about daycare centers are extremely "fit" for virality: having both novelty & familiarity (drawing on anti-immigrant tropes of criminality & exploitation); making emotional/identity appeals; are *participatory* in that ppl can create their own “evidence” by investigating local centers.

Elon Musk promised a lot of things by 2025 - colonists arriving on Mars - xAI achieving AGI - Tesla robotaxis serving half the U.S. - completely driverless robotaxis - a Tesla Roadster demo - DOGE cutting trillions none of them happened mashable.com/article/elon-mus...

2020: Trump Interior Secretary praises Trump “fulfilling the vision” of Colorado’s Ark Valley clean water project, saying Trump “has delivered for the people of the West by putting the West’s most precious resource first” 2025: Trump vetoes the project’s unanimous funding bill

Trump administration retreats in Newsom lawsuit over National Guard deployment

DC does not have a triumphal arch, despite all its other Roman architecture, because they are an imperial and not a republican symbol. They became reserved for the Caesars, and the Arc de Triomphe is a monument to Napoleon. If this dumb thing gets built, the only acceptable course is to demolish it.

orcas have the chance to do the funniest thing

The Trump admin’s censorship agenda is chilling & relentless. I counted 200+ attempts in 2025 to muzzle press, protesters, public servants, judges, law firms, universities, corporations. But resistance has blunted this campaign & we must fiercely defend free speech: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/o...

The other day I was taking a dumb devil’s advocate position that the risks of AI-assisted suicide might be overstated, but holy shit ChatGPT convinced a schizophrenic guy to kill his mother storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Yelling at artists who cancel will not bring them back on stage. Trump, unable to accept that his toxicity drives everyone away, prefers to destroy the Kennedy Center rather than admit that no one wants to see his name associated with his. #ProudBlue #DV1

One of our most-read stories this year: In a string of recent rulings, Hawaii Justice Todd Evins has rebuked the originalist approach preferred by the conservative U.S. Supreme Court. “A constitution adapts,” he wrote. “Due process is agile.”

If you're a Democrat, you're a sucker if you imagine this agency has anything to do with immigration. It is--and aspires to be!--a fascist paramilitary goon squad. You should start saying so and lay the groundwork for starving it of funding when you take power

Here's the Department of Energy pushing propaganda by Trump. Madness.

Apparently, US forces struck something, somewhere in Venezuela, and the Pentagon, CIA, and others in the administration are giving no details. We wouldn't even know if Trump didn't blurt it out on the radio. Under what authority was military force used? #NoForeverWars

Hey I actually found an immigrant who scoffs at our laws and Constitution, won't assimilate, and is literally taking away your job

Good fucking grief. This country is being led by some of the dumbest motherfucking bigots and white supremacists I've ever seen. Is it any wonder why so many white supremacist billionaires support these ignorant wackadoodles. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

The 500 richest in the world added $2.2TRILLION to their wealth - more than enough to end extreme global poverty. Yet inequality keeps growing and needs go unmet. 😔 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump vetoes a bill with bipartisan support that would provide clean drinking water to rural areas of Colorado because the Governor won't pardon Trump loving Tina Peters. She broke state laws by tampering with voting machines. Trump is a a traitor to our nation. He should be charged with TREASON!

I dunno man you can’t nonstop talk about america being the bestest country ever and then get fucking insanely evil about people then wanting to come here to live and work.

Ukrainians' courage and determination endlessly frustrates dictators like Putin, and would by tyrants like Trump. We all owe the deepest gratitude to them.
