I can’t believe there are really people like this

THE TRUTH: He’s an atheist who hates organized religion and all those who practice it; never went to religious school of any kind; spent his childhood throwing rocks at babies, bullying local kids and stockpiling weapons until he was sent to military school; and then immediately tried to kill a kid.

For years MAGA has excused Trump’s language “It’s just a joke” “He doesn’t mean it. That’s how he talks” And as he becomes more unhinged “We’ve never seen such leadership” Their obeisance-and the media’s sanewashing-is normalizing the most frightening behavior we’ve ever seen from a president

🤦‍♀️

Absolute masterclass by Iran. BBC's top correspondent confirms Iran has put a complete stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz, reducing traffic from 130 ships to just 5. She admits any US attempt to take control by force is completely impossible. Washington is defeated. FAFO INDEED 🤔🤬🍊🐔💩

A $1.5 trillion defense budget. At the same time they’re cutting funding for science, disaster relief, and public health. They’re not choosing strength. They’re choosing what matters, and it’s not you.

This doesn’t sound like unconditional support of Israel and Netanyahu to me. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Watch all the way through before you come at me.

It's not that Donald sent this as awful as it is; it's that nobody felt they could stop him or, worse, nobody thought they should.

A day late, but Apple uploaded my new album SMALL CITY WOMAN! 90-second previews of every song below:

A sheer war crime. This is one of the premier universities in the field of civil engineering in the world. Absolutely inexcusable, and it is likely to lead to retaliation in the region in kind. And all for no reason.

Every crisis becomes content. Every decision becomes branding. Every failure gets spun into “winning.” At some point you have to ask: Is anyone actually governing?

I've been wondering about this.

The golden age of corporate profits (see also: corruption)

I think it’s worth asking again — and seriously — what exactly do we have a 25th Amendment for if not for this?

There’s a lot of bad right now but this is one of the worst things I’ve ever read. There is no limit to the cruelty.

Hegseth Suddenly BECOMES TARGET of MAJOR INVESTIGATION #MeidasTouch

This thread is logical. Trump is not.

Currently, Axios is pushing a narrative that there are some secret talks about a 45-day ceasefire between Wirkoff/Iran/allies — but in the article itself, it says “chances are slim” and nothing is confirmed. Markets open soon. That’s all. Meanwhile, Iran keeps tweeting ⬇️

Again, the reason everything always goes wrong for Trump, on every issue at home & abroad, is not only the fascism & the incompetence, but also the almost unfathomable narcissism. Other people/governments exist & have agency & the world is complex & interconnected, but narcissists cannot grasp this.

"He is pushing for new ways to squeeze the lives of undocumented immigrants and those with legal protections," The Times reported.

any journalist who attends this event is a quisling and a coward.

Reader, you will not be surprised to learn that Christopher Rufo is at the center of yet another manufactured right wing outrage cycle.

A huge stain on Trump andhis regime, and on our whole country. Shame, shame, shame.

Trump just posted a video without any caption. It shows Somali-Americans walking around the Mall of America in Minnesota, set to the Gary Jules version of the song “Mad World.” I only recognize the video because it’s extremely popular among Nazis on Twitter.

everyone not a white house correspondent: you should show solidarity by refusing to ask a new question when trump insults a colleague and keep asking theirs to force him to answer it white house correspondents: what if we went to a fancy party about ourselves and wore passive rebukes on hankies

We need to do more than win in November. We need a massive blue wave. The only way to stop the MAGA shenanigans of the Trump regime is to win big, limit their power, and then do it again in 2028. Please follow the people on this list who are on the frontlines fighting for US. go.bsky.app/K6JGV3h

Iran hits back on social media.

Donald Trump just posted a video of Somali people enjoying the Mall of America to the soundtrack of “Mad World” because he is a bigoted POS

The Wall Street Journal called the request "by far the largest dollar amount in modern history."

Iran War Updates: Tehran Says Trump's Claim US Wants Deal Is 'Fake News' #Newsweek

Mountain lions should basically be one of our national animals and it is astonishing to me that anyone could even cynically try to go after them. Look at this boy. Him and the coyotes rule LA to me.

We could’ve had a normal Easter Sunday, but instead we are left to wonder if the Madman in Chief is going to nuke Iran at 8pm ET on Tuesday.

#Pinks #ProudBlue Trump is sending J.D. Vance to campaign for Viktor Orban because apparently under the Regime Hungary is our number one ally in Europe. Everybody knows the American Government is currently the best friend of Dictators everywhere. www.politico.eu/article/oper...

Trump threatened war crimes on Easter. Historian Timothy Snyder says the structural conditions for a coup attempt are now in place — war, midterms 7 months out, purged commanders, a nonsensical defense budget that’s actually a bribe. But we can stop him. Follow @timothysnyder.bsky.social

#ResistanceEarth Scientists expect 42% of Arctic permafrost to melt by 2050, which is bad news given that it stores some 1,700 billion tons of carbon. A new study finds that that permafrost begins to release CO2 when it reaches -5°C to 1°C, before it fully melts. www.earth.com/news/thawing...

Photojournalist Nathan Howard took this photo of Donald Trump entering Trump National Golf Club in Virginia earlier while dodging church services on Easter.
