The thing about “Bluesky is a bubble” takes is that they start with the false assumption that social media is our job or some sort of responsibility. This isn’t my job. It’s probably not yours, either. It’s not our responsibility to ruin our days on a Nazi hellsite or to talk to dummies here.

Looking forward to watching, over the next 48 hours, all the Iran-hawk Trump supporters quietly retreat from their rare moments of honest criticism of Dear Leader for his failed Iran war. Expect to see the usual mix of accommodation, obfuscation, and rationalization so they can stay on the team.

Too many people have accepted Donald Trump’s presidency as "normal." Too many believe there is nothing we can do, and that we simply need to outlast his term. We cannot endure 29 more months with this mendacious, narcissistic, rapist, wannabe dictator who is selling us out to the highest bidder.

All the centrist/conservative Democrats who wanted to allow Abrego Garcia and everyone else Trump sent to CECOT to rot in a slave camp should be embarrassed with themselves and think deeply before saying anything about anything.

Donald Trump has done a lot of terrible things to this country over the last decade. But here’s what I think is most insidious of all: Trump has taught Americans that cruelty is strength, that resentment is identity, and that hating other people somehow makes you superior.

If you only read one article today, let it be this one… medium.com/@ashleewooda... #momsky #sheshed

Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Neo-Nazis, KKK & other White Supremacists and Nazi groups are now an accepted part of the Republican base. Donald Trump & his administration are going to make them millionaires with a 1.8 billion dollar payout of your and my taxpayer dollars! Fk that!!!!!! Fk hate!!!!!!!!

🔺Damn it, 🥸 PedoRapist NAZI Dictator TRUMP & TRUMP’s NAZI REGIME KEEP duplicating HITLER’s NAZI Regime🔺 🚩And American are STILL IGNORING the DEMISE Of OUR 🇺🇸DEMOCRACY Wake UP AMERICA‼️‼️‼️‼️ 🔁

Then after that. Had his bunker. Can’t stiff these guys😂 felon kno how they play.

So much respect for this exceptional leader! Mamdani disputes Reagan claiming the 9 scariest words are “I’m from the government & I’m here to help,” saying: “9 more terrifying words are actually 'I worked all day, and can't feed my family.' Share everywhere! #uspoli substack.com/@rawstory/no...

Today Trump "negotiated" with his private criminal defense lawyer—a man he made AG for this corrupt purpose—the theft of $1.8B in taxpayer money so that it could be given to far-right terrorists in open rebellion against America. It's the most corrupt act by a POTUS in history.

Fuck Corporate Media…

Any President that sues his own government, while in office, should immediately be impeached.

This ends in Nüremberg or not at all. IGR: McPuffinStuff

Shapiro should volunteer to go out with a roofing crew in FL this July to help them out for a few days to get an introduction to reality. Or work the overnight shift in a hospital emergency room. Or teach 8th graders.

Democrats, and many non-MAGA folks, still don't realize that Republicans are playing for all the marbles. They're all in. If they can't get power, they will burn it all down. Trump is not leaving peacefully or legally. We have to prepare.

When did we normalize this? When did it become okay for a president to tell a female reporter she’s a ‘dumb person’ for asking a totally legitimate question about his contradictory answers? Was there a specific date and time it become okay? Normal? Normalized?

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

Imagine being a journalist during the most important story of your lifetime — the fascist plot to overthrow democracy – and deciding that it’s routine news, nothing to get excited about.

When you see clips of people celebrating in Hungary after corrupt Orban is gone, realize that Trump, Vance and Rubio did everything they could to keep those celebrations from happening so Putin’s puppet could remain in power.

We are ostensibly a free country and the degree to which we don’t know what is actually going on in a vast network of “camps” on our own soil in the year 2026 is….. something we are probably never going to come close to actually grappling with as a country

The only reason that this happened to Virginia even if their resident voted for the gerrymander is that as always Democrats do things by the "we must always be fair" book. Texas did not put its gerrymandering up for a vote. They just did it. STOP ASKING PERMISSION DEMOCRATS! FUCK THE GOP!

Virginia is "a wakeup call to Democrats across the country - in NJ, NY, MD, IL, OR, WA, CO - this is the time to start fighting back... Republicans don't believe that Democrats have the right to exist. If we don't start fighting back, we're going to good government ourselves into obscurity."

"F&ck the planet" by the New York Times

We've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.

I'm noticing a strange 'wait and see' vibe over the past couple of months and I think that the upcoming midterms are in part responsible. We need people to be engaged in local community and political work more than ever. This is not a time to have feet of clay.

“They hope everybody folds because the process is the punishment, and that paves the way for them to do it to more people and exert power, especially over the media.” www.mediamatters.org/ms-now-msnbc...

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

In a year of really bad stuff, my wife and I at least have the satisfaction of getting our passports renewed just ahead of having to have that idiot's picture on them. We have to take our wins where we can.

You're paying $8 for gas but thank god those seven trans athletes can no longer play sports and you can say "r*tard" again!

'Disappointed, "Surprised," 'Betrayed': 12 Toddlers on Where Did Mom Go Peekaboo Oh There She Is

Absolutely! Two can play at this game.

Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy. Attacking it is a hallmark of authoritarianism. If there were ever a moment for the so-called “free speech warriors” to speak out, now would be the time.

it’s simple. Dems need to 1. prepare retaliatory gerrymanders in every blue state now that the VRA has been overturned 2. pack the court (and prosecute Thomas/alito) in 2029 I will only even *consider* primary candidates who support both of the above going forward

This is how the United States Department of Justice writes now.

It’s just wearing those godawful shoes writ large. Deliberate supplication

Killing dreams and ripping families apart thousands of times everyday but quietly, so we do not hear about it as we did in Minneapolis. 💔

All this GOP pearl clutching over the WHCD incident and their call to "tone down the rhetoric" just makes me more ready to hit the street. See you all on May 1. #MayDayStrong

The fastest way to de-escalate political tensions is for the President of the United States to stop calling half of the country "traitors" and "enemies of America." Agreed?

Corporate media is at a new level of gaslighting today. Never have they once asked Trump about the vile things he says, including the Democrats should be hung for treason. But Dem leaders speak out against Trump's authoritarianism and it's, "shouldn't you turn down your rhetoric?"

Odd, how a lone gunman failed to even enter a targeted room and no one was harmed—and Republicans go HYSTERICAL over the “tone” of Democrats. And yet heavily armed and masked fascists murdered two people at point-blank range in the streets of Minneapolis—and not a peep about the “tone” of the right.

The press has Stockholm syndrome. Stop sitting in interviews and letting this man abuse you. Stop acting like he’s not trying to suppress free speech. And for f*ck’s sake stop attending events that normalize his regime and make you look complicit.
