Dear voters who put this sad excuse for a leader in the White House: do you even have the capacity to feel embarrassed? You should apologize to the rest of your compatriots who do, even though they didn’t vote for him. Shame on MAGA, there is nothing great about the administration you put in charge.

Kino für Unentschlossene: Solliwood

The USA has become the DSA, where one of the two parties calls the other one terrorists. Make America Divided Again - the MAD Again Christians observing their religion that has absolutely zero to do with Christianity. RIP, 🇺🇸.

Trump schickt jetzt die SS um die SA zu unterstützen, damit die Gestapo ungestört ihre Arbeit machen kann. #Chicago #Faschismus

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

No, he does not. I usually am for accepting apologies, but sorry - not in this case. He showed the whole cruel and disgusting core of his personality.

So he actually IS capable of speaking the truth? This should be declared the “#47 Spoke-The-Truth-Day”!

Adam is visibly shaken, and everyone hearing what Brian Kilmeade suggests should be. No need to be Christian to be outraged, just being human would suffice. If Kilmeade isn’t fired, Faux News should be shut down. Too much to ask for, though, from today’s 🇺🇸. #FauxNews, #FauxChristian, #FauxProLife

#ZIB1 : Die Information, dass der Kirk-Attentäter nicht “gefasst” wurde sondern sich in Begleitung seines Vaters gestellt hat (“was turned in by his father”), aus einer GOP-Familie stammt, die Trump finanziell unterstützt hat, die stolz mit ihren zahlreichen Waffen posiert hat - nicht erwähnenswert?

I would understand if they started wearing masks. What an embarrassment it must be for them 🙄. Those thinking about signing up should reconsider!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, @thomasl.bsky.social 🎂🎉🎈🎈!

If you read one thing today, please let it be this.

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

I must have missed the chapter in our history books where Hitler was at the negotiating table 🙄

@timmiller.bsky.social @thebulwark.com History re the hat #47 is wearing: Slogans such as Der Führer hat immer Recht (‘the Führer is always right’) found their places on the walls of ministries, town halls, schools, restaurants, hospitals, offices…. Mussolini ha sempre ragione - another one!

I sincerely hope that you’re right, but I am afraid these cult members aka MAGA or GOP are not there yet…. (Shouldn’t it be renamed? Don’t see anything GRAND there 🤦‍♀️)

🎯💯!!! The whole #47 administration including the GOP members of Congress and the MAGA cult electorate are a disaster that shows that the whole checks and balances system and the Constitution fail if there are evil-minded people in power. Let’s hope there will be a chance to fix this incl. SCOTUS !

The red carpet for Putler to me stands for the blood on his hands. President Zelenskyy doesn’t need a red carpet, gold or a suit to deserve all the respect we can give. He’s a true leader who respects his people and doesn’t lie whenever he opens his mouth, unlike #47. Слава Україні! 🇺🇦

These meetings in D.C. are as transparent as they possibly can, covered by international news, whereas the one with Putler only allowed for red carpet treatment and a flyover to honor the war criminal to be shown/reported on and Putler as guest speaking first contrary to protocol. It was his show!!!

Unbelievable!!!! #47 hears President Zelenskyy’s answer to “once the war ends, will you have elections ”, saying of course, but in wartime you can’t have elections: and #47 jumps in, laughing, “wait a moment, there can’t be elections when there is war? So in 2 1/2 years, if we are in a war…..” 🤮🤮🤮

Thank you! It's always great to find readers appreciating the book -- and finding inspiration in John Lewis's remarkable life. The e-book is on sale for only $3.99 this month at Amazon. www.amazon.com/John-Lewis-L...

@governor.ca.gov speaks Trumpese!!! 🤣🤣🤣 This is absolutely hilarious! 👏👏👏

Fascinating book by @davidgreenberg.bsky.social - tracing the life of John Lewis, “the conscience of Congress”! Compelling to read now, comparing the challenges of the civil rights era and what we are witnessing today. "Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America."

Bei einem 36jährigen Neonazi in Kärnten hat die Polizei neben NS-Material und Drogen (Heroin, Kokain, Cannabis) eine geladene Schrotflinte, ein Kleinkalibergewehr, Munition und drei "machetenähnliche Messer" gefunden. Ich vermute, bei einer IS-Fahne wäre die Aufregung deutlich größer.

People in the Capitol on January 6 knew that the President is the one who could deploy the D.C.National Guard to help fight the attackers. They reached out to him. How long did it take him to send help? Who pardoned the 1500+ criminals who committed serious crimes including murder in D.C.?

“This is not a presidency guided by the will of the people. It is a policy regime brought to life by a right-wing think tank. In effect, the Trump White House should hang a banner above the West Wing: “Brought to You by the Heritage Foundation.”

No surprise, given that the apparatchiks also cover for claims of reducing medication cost by “1500%”. They all have a gifted ability to work with numbers. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Recommend to listen to this episode of the Bulwark Podcast with @marcelias.bsky.social or watch it here youtu.be/YbdaMWkRQuw?... And then read Marc Elias’ Democracy Docket Newsletter of today reflecting on what he had said. Yes,✊💙 outrage is justified newsletters.democracydocket.com/-17540851121...

Jim Foley, freelance journalist killed by ISIS in Syria 2014, in 2011: “If I don’t have the moral courage to challenge authority, to challenge the system, to write about things that are going to have maybe reprisals on my career, ….., we don’t have journalism.” Any thoughts, 🇺🇸 mainstream media?

“Die Polizei löste stundenlang Sitzblockaden gegen den rechtsextremen Marsch auf und hielt die Rechtsextremisten und Bürgerinnen und Bürger, die Faschismus ablehnen, auseinander. Von rund 400 Rechtsextremen,darunter bekannte Neonazis und verurteilte Gewalttäter, wurde keine einzige Person angezeigt”

If 🇷🇺stops, the war ends. If 🇺🇦stops, Ukraine ends. And then: 🇷🇺 won’t stop there!

Cult (The American Heritage Dictionary): “A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader.” All true for MAGA,except for charismatic. #47 anything but!

Just finished reading “The Sirens’ Call” by @chrislhayes.bsky.social . For me it was a page turner! Waiting for the German translation (supposedly out in September) to give to some friends/family members who prefer reading in German. Friends reading English won’t have to wait 🎁.

Only speak good of the dead. He’s dead. Good!

Governor Katie Hobbs has announced that she and her administration just erased nearly $430M in medical debt for Arizonans. Thank you Governor, now for this to happen all over the country. 💙👊

When you think you are watching satirical comedy but have to realize others in the audience put the show on stage to spread good news they believe is coming their way 🤦‍♀️🤯

Must’ve been stealth bombers showing off their low visibility

Congress abdicated its role as a separate and independent branch of government on January 20 while also relinquishing all oversight responsibility, so it’s entirely appropriate for Johnson to show that he has surrendered his gavel to the executive.

Die amerikanische Variante: Senator Joni Ernst - “We are all going to die!” Wen kümmert es schon, ob früher oder später? 🤮

Please tell me this is AI-generated 🤯

Vielen Dank, @thomasl.bsky.social , für unaufgeregte aber dennoch “to the point” Berichterstattung aus Washington. Es war wohl spannend, aber sicher nicht einfach, dieses assignment. Ich verfolge die Ereignisse nicht unaufgeregt und bewundere deshalb umso mehr Ihre Professionalität. Well done 👏🙏!

“We are ALL afraid!” Unfortunately not of your constituents, but of the cronies owning the GOP, Senator Murkowski. Shame on you all!

He and his GOP colleagues (can) count on voters who can only listen but not read - or comprehend what they are reading. So it is easy for them to do a 180 degree turn when it comes to voting.

Dear Santa! Please bring Thomas Massie more of this kind of ammunition rather than what he wished for in 2021 🙏. It is for a better cause.

I thought “leaking secret documents and classified information“ meant both actually existed. So when they are whining about “leaks” and calling for severe punishment, even the death penalty, isn’t that acknowledging the info leaked is correct? Nobody said it was fake news 🤷‍♀️ youtu.be/5AOZfhI__3g?...

Mitch McConnell was just using different language than Joni Ernst to say the same thing 🤯

Will the rest of the US ever see this quality of decency in election campaigns and candidates? Fighting for causes and principles rather than each other? Congratulations to both!!!
