“We are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”

Elections have consequences. A man like this never belonged near the levers of power. Not the first time. And certainly not this second time when everything was knowable. We are trapped in a tragedy and must fight our way out.

This is #TrumpsAmerica

@whitehouse-47.bsky.social Hey, check you out…blowing up and dismantling America.

Students at Burnsville High School in Minnesota STAGED a WALKOUT while chanting: "NO MORE ICE! NO MORE ICE!

Do good, it will come back to you in unexpected ways

It took dozens of special agents the best part of a decade to bring Juan Orlando Hernández to justice for flooding US cities with cocaine. Then, in a single social media post last week, Donald Trump set the former Honduran president free. on.ft.com/4oA2Km0

He is not well. If someone’s grandpa posted this on Facebook, the family would be discussing assisted living by dinner.

Elon Musk's brain implant company Neuralink hired top FDA executive David McMullen to lead its medical affairs division, raising questions about the Trump administration's promise to end the revolving door between regulators and private sector reut.rs/4rN3FCh

On #HumanRightsDay, the EU reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the universal respect, protection and fulfilment of human rights for everyone, everywhere. Find out how the EU protects and promotes human rights worldwide ➡️ link.europa.eu/WX4XyY

The EU has slapped a fine on Musk's X because it is untransparent and supports deceptive practices. Nothing to do with "censorship."

🇬🇧 🇺🇸 WATCH — @mrjamesob.bsky.social: “I’m going to say this slowly… The President of The United States of America has sided with Putin against the United Kingdom. He has put the whole of Europe in the crosshairs.”

March to barbarism Billionaire member of the “PayPal Mafia”, co-founder of Palantir wants public executions. Not content with profiteering, exploitation, wants public hangings. Who will they hang - poor, homeless, hungry, people falsely convicted? Too much money creates insanity.

The Epstein Files STILL have not been released. If he wasn’t in them. He’d have released them.

Community Note strikes again!

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Tell Congress it's time to evict Kristi Noem.

ICYMI: The House is set to vote this week on a compromise National Defense Authorization Act that recommends a Pentagon budget $8 billion above the Trump administration's request and reflects bipartisan concerns about shrinking the U.S. military's presence in Europe. (from @svetashko.bsky.social)

“I’d have no problem releasing the video” “I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.” 5 days apart 😬 (From @therecount.com )

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of Dec. 9, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

No, we don't want "free" healthcare. We want universal healthcare paid for by our taxes that covers everyone and leaves no one bankrupted and sick. This isn’t difficult to comprehend.

😯

Reject any and every lie of this regime that they are fighting the drug trade. Their boss pardons a drug kingpin who helped bring 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

Health insurers are jacking up premiums while raking in billions in profits. Expiring ACA subsidies will saddle millions of Americans with massive monthly premium increases. Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All?

How very not surprising 👇

I would argue that Trump is the greatest threat to our economy, security, and ways of life. It's not immigrants, Muslims, people of color, women, trans people, or LGB people... It's Trump and those who share his warped and detached from reality point of view.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.” In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

The reality is that Trump is wildly unpopular. His presidency is cover for the rich robbing America blind. Pardons, bribes, corporate grift, generational theft, all of it on an unimaginable scale. Now he's using the U.S. government to protect his largest donor. Same pattern.

We fight on together! In cities, states, and nationally. Our democracy is under threat. But we will not yield to fascism. We will fight back to defend our rights, communities, and the values we hold dear. Join us. indivisible.org/groups please repost

Something about; “they love the poorly educated.” 🔆☕

Good morning and happy Saturday to everyone who wishes Eric and Don Jr. were more like the Menendez brothers.

We're dealing with a nasty infestation. We'll have to get back to our allies, once we've handled our business.

Happening in Tucson this afternoon Especially with the wake of the ICE RAID that happened to the pepper spraying of Congresswoman Adelita If you're in Tucson go mobilize.us/pimadems for directions 4pm AFFORDABILITY TOWN HALL

Funny how 7-10 million of us managed to gather all over the country without a single violent incident that was not instigated by MAGA. But the minute a few hundred of us gather to protest ICE we turn into violent rioters who need to be pepper sprayed? Smells like, complete and utter bullshit.

There’s a clear opportunity for Democratic leaders to set out a contrary position to Trump’s Security Strategy for the benefit of all Americans @governor.ca.gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov @aoc.bsky.social @adamkinzinger.substack.com @angrystaffer.bsky.social www.bbc.com/news/article...

“Don’t replace the culture war with class war” is such a fun way of saying, “Please don’t unionize, I just bought a yacht that parks inside another yacht.”

Don’t you remember that we’re getting annexed soon by the USA? I’m not trapped in here with you, YOU’RE trapped in here with ME

Politics used to feel like a polished insiders-only club… now the White House is putting an octagon on the front lawn. For Bernard Taylor, that shift didn’t cheapen the process…it opened the door. If the landscape has changed, so can the people who step into it. 🎙️Bourbon of Proof

Our relationships are already permanently damaged. The fact that we had this idiot in power for four years and then voted him back into power again has undermined any confidence and respect the international community had about America. It will take decades of responsible leadership to get it back.

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child
