Welp!

I think I figured out the game. All biological life starts with competition for resources, usually based on violence. The goal is to evolve far enough that survival is ensured without violence before you eradicate your own kind. Humans on planet Earth remain a long way from achieving this goal.

This is an excellent idea!!!

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao? TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him. TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Wear it with pride 😜

wait but Speaker Johnson said there was no contingency fund? 🤷🏼

BOSTON (AP) — Judges order the federal government to use contingency funds for SNAP food aid payments during the shutdown.

Maggot Mike Johnson. A parasite feasting on a dead and rapidly decaying body called the House of Representatives. #magamike #maggotmike

FWIW, I see this order as a very encouraging sign for those who are hoping #SCOTUS *denies* the Trump administration’s application. There would be no need to issue it if the administration had five votes on the other two issues; and this is perhaps the strongest argument against it on the third.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

Give the idiotic GOP an inch, they will take 10 miles, and hang themselves in the process. They are literally destroying any chances of winning elections in the near future. So long as we hold elections, that is. #dumptrump #releaseEpsteinfiles

BREAKING: Representative Ro Khanna is introducing legislation to ban the president, his family, members of Congress, and all elected officials from trading crypto or stocks.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk @msrachelforlittles.bsky.social

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

This is only the surface.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

This is one of our biggest problems, Americans who don't follow politics, who vote against their own interests just because they are either to uneducated to lazy or just think their votes don't matter! Well elections have consequences and this is what got us here to this moment in time!

DC J6: 1.500 arrests DC No Kings: zero Tell me again which side is violent?

Does anyone else smell that?

It turns out we do need to fix stupid. #nokings #dumptrump

All. Of. This.

The right to practice religion, or no religion at all, is among the most fundamental of the freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and Christianity is NOT mentioned in the Constitution. We cannot let Christian nationalists ignore our history and remake our future.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

We used to have Presidents who loved the American people.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

PROVIDING EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE TO A NON CITIZEN IS A STANDARD PRACTICE IN ALMOST EVERY COUNTRY‼️IT’S HUMAN DECENCY‼️

It's really funny to me that the current Trump Regime is so exasperated with museums telling the American story in all of it's good and bad glory, especially around events like slavery or Japanese internment camps, etc., while at the exact same time demonstrating just how bad an authoritarian... 1/2

So, we've got $20 billion to send to Argentina, even while the govt is shut down, but we can't send funds and support Ukraine while they are in a literal fight for their lives...against our sworn enemy? #dumptrump

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

This is how fascism works. They use the police to arrest their political opponents. Eventually, they will start killing them.

The President of the United States can longer be in charge of both the military and the Department of Justice. One, or both, needs to change. Update the Constitution so that it actually prevents authoritarian control and truly protects democracy. #dumptrump

Another way of looking at it

And now with more context (and data): Which members of Congress write to constituents about "evil"? And what are they talking about? dcinboxinsights.substack.com/p/which-memb...

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

Here's Nigel Max Edge and Thomas Jacob Sanford. Both committed mass shootings within 24 hours of one another. Two more cases of White on White crime. Is it the fatherlessness in the White community? Are they Inherently violent because of their race? Or, is it the guns? Sip it slowly. 🔥☕️

It should not matter if you're left or right, white or brown. This 👇👇 shit should piss you off enough to say enough is enough!

Shut the fuck up Donny!

I really love this idea that in the event Trump & Co fully implement their authoritarian regime/dictatorship, and remove the free press in the US, other places like the UK, Canada, etc., will all still be accurately reporting the news and he will be powerless to stop it. #dumptrump

We’ll survive, but it’s going to take time to rebuild for sure. We have to be patient with the Democrats when we’re back in the White House. No instant gratification bullshit - this isn’t a one term fix. If we want to see real change, we make the GOP the minority party for a decade or more.

For those who don’t seem to quite get it yet. 🆘🇺🇸

This ought to be engraved somewhere.
