You’ll have to up the security! I’ve heard the black market for specially trained vulgarians is super hot. 🔥

Oh yes? #musk

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tel everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

The man has no filter.

💯. As I've said too many times to count, Trump's pronouns are me/me/me.

Political science professors at public universities posting open disdain for conservatives on social media should help with this problem.

One can raise various criticisms of the JCPOA that Trump tore up if you want to, but tearing it up in his first term clearly put the country on trajectory for war with Iran — avoiding that outcome was the purpose of the agreement.

This is always one of the reddest of herrings: "We can't ever win Trump voters." Yes, if you mean "MAGA cultists." But independents, Latinos, even young men - all are defecting from Trump in droves. You only need to peel off a few of them.

Well, they work for and are loyal to the same person- one is just smoother but is equally responsible for every death abroad caused by this administration

Any normal person looks at this décor and deduces instantly that the man behind it is a lunatic Future generations will see no fuzz on this assertion and be stunned that this orc got this far America in this age is humiliated in the gaze of history for hundreds of years to come

One of the drones struck this skyscraper in Moscow, 6km from the Kremlin.

💥 Russia: Ukrainian drones attacked Moscow, likely to test Russian air defenses, 5 days before Putin's war parade on May 9th. The drones reached within 6km of the Kremlin.

Read today’s daily overview: Ukraine hit Russia’s ports, tankers, missile ship, and oil infrastructure, while Russian missiles and drones killed civilians again. The front line now reaches into energy routes, sanctions networks, and political capitals.

It’s astounding that Zelensky survived a full-scale war without ever having a ballroom.

Our Divine Leader. I’m so ashamed of what America is doing.

ICE must be completely dismantled and abolished. No exceptions, no excuses.

AOC tells PabloReports that the reinstatement of the agent who shot Renee Good is a reminder of why Democrats should not give ICE and CBP a dime. AOC: Every single person that that man encounters is in just as grave danger as she was in.

Come ON

Lies, repeated by Right Wing media to voters, gave MAGA control of all 3 branches of gov. So naturally they continue their spectacularly successful winning strategy. bsky.app/profile/upin...

So the shotgun was never fired, apparently. The indictment is a lie. And three days later they still won’t say how the Secret Service officer was shot. (But they did indict Comey for his seashells.) Trust much? www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

At the grocery store today my eyes popped out of my head seeing price jumps. I started thinking about Venezuela and Argentina....prices are skyrocketing and it's only just begun. This on top of everything else. What absolute tragedy we've inflicted upon ourselves and the rest of the world.

Every effing day… drama, theatre, performance - real or faked- doesn’t matter. It’s just the endless immersion in spectacle & circus.. tragedy & farce dished up in preposterous portions ceaselessly. The madness of it all.. the impotence of the entire world in thrall to a fool.

Osoff is kind of like the Georgia version of Pete Buttigieg, but maybe a little more fiery in his speaking style (though to be fair, I usually see Pete in settings like TV, not speaking in front of an audience).

Um, wow.

Thank you Garrett Graff for this insight:

Keep coming back to Trump saying how when he was hustled offstage he wanted to stay and see - he stressed that desire to watch what was happening on 60 minutes — it excited him, the violent chaos, he didn’t want to miss a second, like it turned him on, gave him a rush.

“The gunfire was still echoing, a Secret Service agent…was speeding to the hospital, & the stripped-naked alleged shooter…was pressed facedown into a plush carpet. Yet inside, the first instinct of the president & the media superstars of an America comfortably numb to gun violence was to party on.”

“First of all, I have a bad back. I couldn’t get on the floor, and if I did get on the floor, they’d have to bring in people to get me off the floor. "And No. 2, I’m a hygiene freak. There was no freaking way I was getting in my new tux on the dirty Hilton floor." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...

Interestingly, I just read that the ‘terrorist’ at WHCD was a scientist who had worked beside a group of scientists who had mysteriously died over the last couple of years. Perhaps he was drawing attention to this?

I’m sure it was staged. The guy would have had smoke bombs to distract everyone, a mask on and been a member of the serving staff to have a shot…This was either a guy begging for attention or someone paid a lot of money.

this is awesome @11tulips.bsky.social @stevesawyer12.bsky.social @jakichantler.bsky.social @ridgecook.bsky.social I am engaging in some schadenfreude w/ these people who have carelessly & cruelly & intentionally made other ppl afraid & struggle

There are worse things to be said about Hilton. He was Cameron’s policy advisor. When the findings were released from the Savile inquiry (50 years after Bloody Sunday), Cameron made a mayonnaise statement. Meaningless. Hilton was responsible. www.bbc.com/news/uk-nort...

Don't forget his affiliation with the #OathKeepers.

Becerra takes corporate money, and Chevon just donated the max legal limit to his campaign. That’s a nope for me.

Agree. Same time? An important caveat: Black Californians are at the bottom of the CASTE LADDER here. What will @xavierbecerra.bsky.social do to improve our opportunities? After all, we helped build and POWER #CA over more than a century in public + private sectors. Thanks, a Native.

WE NEED TO KEEP CALLING THIS OUT BECAUSE IT MATTERS: California is the 4th largest economy on Earth, and the most populous state in the country. This isn’t a place for amateurs. Becerra has the experience for a state this big, this complex, and this consequential. 🧵

My first thought was this is something Trump would stage both as distraction and the best way to generate support/raise his approval numbers. What other move did he have left? Sorry, but aren’t we all jaded? There had to be high high-level security at that event and a guy strolls in with a gun?

oh boy...corruption of the courts do we have another Clarence?

From a ‘24 article; prescient. “[NYT] could have fundamentally changed the way Trump has been coveredby the political media as a whole. It could have stopped using soft, empty language & false equivalence & made it clear that…Trump would turn America into a racist, authoritarian regime”

This is horrible. Going right back to the days of Hitler. I really hope that something happens to him even before the mid-terms. I don't know how Americans are putting up with this. Y'all must have whiplash. CPTSD. Everyone there is going to need years of therapy
