Dems are completely AWOL on moral language. AOC employs it at her very best. Others talk about affordability amidst crimes against humanity. People understand exactly what’s in their wallet. They need that reality informed by discussion of the moral degeneracy, corruption and crimes of a mafia govt.

I get second-hand embarrassment from the way grown ass people curry favor with this corrupt, senile, racist old man by offering infantilizing treats and participation trophies.

This corruption must be stopped.

Trump Administration Says Europe Faces ‘Civilizational Erasure’ www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/w... If you or anyone you know have any doubts about this being a racist administration please read this article I gifted it For those of you who already know i would also recommend we must bear witness

My wildest, craziest fantasy is that they won’t just be cowering in the darkness again within my lifetime. I want them to face real consequences. I want the Nazis to hurt. I want every far-right extremist currently posting openly about their bigotry to never again know a moment’s peace.

The US is close to an institutional collapse across multiple public health agencies. Trump/RFK have purged anyone with expertise, many have fled and they’ve been replaced w functionaries who are either incompetent or malicious. I don’t think many understand how close to the edge we are right now.

Still incredible that we did less than nothing & allowed the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch perpetrators to escape all consequences & seize political control of the government in three years instead of ten. A total failure of every societal & political institution & elected official in 🇺🇸. A national shanda.

Words alone cannot state how inexcusable this is/was.

The erosion of US global leadership (and especially leadership of the free world) is so devastating to watch.

The US Supreme Court has ruled that this is precisely what the Framers of our Constitution intended.

"Underestimating how shitty Republicans are and will be" is the signal analytical mistake in US politics, by journos, pundits, normies, everyone. Again and again and again. And again. There's something deeper going on that prevents us -- the collective us -- from internalizing the reality.

The USG has a new explanation on why they (now admittedly) intentionally killed 2 shipwrecked men. It does not pass the laws-of-war smell test Worse for Hegseth, NYT: "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved contingency plans for what to do if an initial strike left survivors." 1/🧵

I can’t get over Trump, a born-with-a-golden-spoon, notoriously contractor-stiffing, adjudicated sexual abuser and grifter who never shuts up about how unfairly he’s treated … criticizing hard working, came-from-nothing immigrants for “complaining” and “contributing nothing” to the U.S.!!

Trump and all those people complicit need to be removed from their positions.

I’m kind of new to the Democrats, but I thought we were FOR respecting the legal process, and also that we were AGAINST political corruption. And that it was especially important to hold to these principles at this time. But I guess there’s some insider memo I didn’t get that would set me straight?

These people are becoming massively rich off destroying society with algorithms that isolate and radicalize everyone against each other. Literally everyone is worse off because of it it is only getting worse and they do not care because they all have bunkers.

Federal Government Announces Racial Profiling Campaign, Explains It’s Because of the President’s Personal Bigotry

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???

The United States is a bad country

The official policy of the Trump Administration is ignorant bigotry. We’re asked, under principles including charity, to assume that people support the administration despite that policy, not specifically because of it. I am increasingly unwilling to extend that charity.

With the U.S. military’s blatantly war crime strikes in the Caribbean, there are no libs getting owned, no rich people making money, no national security goal being advanced. It’s only this: Are you better than history’s monsters like you’ve long said you are, or not?

Trump: I'm going to pardon massive drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández, bc I don't think former leaders should be held accountable for their crimes. Also Trump: But I'm going to make thinly sourced claims that Maduro is a drug kingpin so I can rationalize an illegal war based on that claim.

The U.S. president speaks and relates information like a mentally disabled person or a person with a head injury. I will never understand how this is not front-page, top-of-the-hour news.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

When you live in a democracy, this is supposed to matter. It's a matter of public knowledge—meaning everyone knows everyone else knows it—and so our (democratically habituated) expectations are that it should lead to a change in course. That it hasn't tells us something important about US democracy

I don't think the president should pardon a man convicted in US court of conspiracy to traffic hundreds of tons of cocaine into the US. I think large-scale drug trafficking is bad, not good, and convicted traffickers do not deserve special treatment. Sorry to get so partisan, but that's how I feel.

Columbia and Northwestern are the academic homes to the most prestigious journalism schools in the country and they are the two universities that caved to the Trump administration’s extortion demands that are directly connected to the First Amendment. Just gonna sit with that for a while.

An era our vaunted media may never recover from. A complete abrogation of journalistic principles. Legacy destroying.

In a functioning democracy, especially one of the parliamentary variety, the Defense Minister would be resigning today & the vote of no confidence in the government/chief executive would be taking place tomorrow. Alas, we are not a functioning democracy, & presidentialism was a grave mistake.

There's a weird collective self-justification among reporters on this beat that their job is not to push back but to be stoic in order to observe an endlessly fascinating natural phenomenon. It's all nonsense. He is a public servant. Demand decency, and slap back hard and fast when you don't get it.

Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.” As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

This is exactly the sort of thing that is going to require people to go to jail for a very long time if we are to avoid this ever happening again. We're going to be told we need to move on. We've been told that every time since ~1865. Which is why the crises keep happening. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

This poisonous Trump regime is a disgrace. Their removal will be a day to celebrate.

Two days ago, the President of the United States called for the murder of Congressional officials, & we've just entirely moved on as a country. Total failure of every societal & political institution. We are not a serious country.

Congressional Democrats called on the military the follow the constitution. Donald Trump said they should be murdered. Speaker Johnson condemned the Democrats and excused Trump’s death threats. He is loyal to Trump and not the constitution. A pathetic man leading a fascist party.

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

I want a government that doesn’t sound like a deeply damaged, bratty boy when it communicates with citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

democrats and leftists both act as if its impossible to be for both - economic justice/opportunity - racial/gender equity i want a candidate who says black lives matter, leave trans kids alone, women have the right to an abortion and tax the billionaires this aint hard

Absolutely correct. So much of the discourse around restoring trust in the institutions is focused on decorum and civility theater. But why would anyone trust the institutions if, after the horror show that we are suffering through, they yet again fail to impose some measure of real accountability?

This Trump/Epstein stuff is so typical of a modern political "scandal," in that ... we know he did it. He knows he did it. Everyone knows he did it & everyone knows that everyone knows he did it. There is zero "did he do it?" involved here. The whole thing is about ... what, exactly?

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it. He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted. Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic…and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” Oathbreakers, all.

"We don't want people to go hungry or miss another paycheck. But we *are* okay with them dying a little more slowly, without healthcare." This is so bleak.

Senate Democrats going to grant legitimacy to the fascist government disappearing our neighbors and walk away with literally nothing in exchange. They are the worst at this on the merits and the politics.

"my non consensual pornography machine that runs on theft, drives kids to suicide, and requires everyone to involuntarily subsidize its monstrous energy demands--what's not to like?!"

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine. We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

This was done to combat Wokeness

The billionaires are much worse than cowards. They're not afraid. The billionaires are eagerly complicit with Trump because, like him, they are greed-monsters and traitors to humanity.
