Protrumpkin Village is my new go-to term for DC and its audience of one.

Just to be clear: the euphemism that the “process” of dismantling USAID was not a “good one” means that hundreds of thousands of people died unnecessarily. Like in South Sudan after we cut cheap, simple to provide cholera aid: www.propublica.org/article/usai...

We wonder how our legal system failed to respond adequately to Trump's lawlessness, how the Supreme Court was taken over by the FedSoc or the military tortures captives or murders on the high seas. Our betters kept telling us to shut up and let the grownups talk... bsky.app/profile/hayd...

Segregation academies for everyone! The plan is to make the whole country into the south. It's a successful model of oppression and exploitation.

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

The idea that Ivy league schools are bastions of the left is insane. Endowed chairs, donated buildings, embedded recruiting processes for banks and mgmt consultants, storied histories as playgrounds of the elite...these all play a part. It's simply ludicrous.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.

Why does Jeff Sachs regularly turn up in situations that make him look like a Russian stooge? Could it be that...he's a Russian stooge? A stooge with an appointment as University Professor at Columbia and a key advisory role on sustainability to the UN Secretary General?

Republicans summed up in one short clip.

How much $ does the asshat think normal people spend on pencils? Maybe my discretionary pencil budget *has* grown a bit... But once I've stabbed a pencil into both eyes because of these idiots, that use case is capped.

Wow. This is one of the most intriguing comments I've read on here yet. Not kidding.

We really do need to re-normalize the idea of calling out shitty people to their faces and then refusing to engage with their idiocy. We’re not products for you to milk, Chad! We’re not content cows!! Try acting like a normal fucking person!!!

I think we all should start wearing this FIFA Peace Prize medal, to reinforce the farce ("reinfarce", if you will).

Things that didn't happen randomly: -Teflon Donnie/Ronnie -Dean "scream" -Socialist, woke as slurs -Proj2025 -Fox There's been a huge long-term battleground shaping operation by the billionaires. But "left's messaging doesn't resonate" is parroted without irony. bsky.app/profile/hayd...

guys I’m sorry but have you looked through Getty images for yesterday 💀

So nice to have spent the morning with a bunch of good news. Wow, what a difference it makes!

Grijalva should be at every Mike Johnson "I know nothing" presser, ready to be sworn in. Walk right up to the lectern with a mic and a bible and challenge him to swear her in right then. Every day. It's malpractice not to. @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social @atrupar.com

It's been more than obvious for 3 weeks now that Johnson was intentionally delaying swearing-in Grijalva. You already said you were going to sue last week. Why are you still waiting? Do it. Now.

His Triumph? No, there's another word...

Michael Moore needs to remake "Roger & Me" featuring Adelita Grijalva and Mike Johnson. @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social @mmflint.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social

We can't vote our way out of fascism but we can't prevent future fascism unless we vote. Everyone can do something.

Must have been a rough flight. "Elite" at take-off but... Meal Team Six upon landing.

Nichols: "This particular repressive [but not-fascist!] movement hasn't achieved its final form so you're using the wrong term according to my idiosyncratic and analytically useless definition, you moronic bed-wetters...your careless approach to terminology will be why we get Final Solution 2.0."

For my weekly top ten, rather than recapping my week, here are ten helpful resources to respond to the President's illegal deployment of troops in Portland:

So exhausting..

"They're eating the escalators. They're eating the Teleprompters!"

#ProudBlue #Pinks #ResistanceUnited I agree with this 💯.

The telltale sharpie.

My best laugh of the day so far.🤣

So, every redaction is either "DJT", "Trump", "Mr. Trump" or "Donald Trump". Now he gets to own all the allegations against any other republican as well.

It would be great if our leaders showed a scintilla of the courage of these women … who were raped as children by psychopathic men like THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. #EpsteinFiles

For decades, the "pragmatic centrists", "institutionalists" and media bigwigs all said the corrupt proto-fascists were good people with reasonable policy differences.

So sad to see Newspapers caving in to Trump's atrocities.

The internet is smarter for having @mcavalletto.bsky.social posting on it.

Scat on a Hot Tin Roof.

Duff Diddy will build nuke on the moon, but is scared of the subway.

As PBS is dismantled by an imbecile, it's surreal to note, during a NOVA segment on Einstein's development of relativity, that Germany was the pinnacle of science and a few years later the Nazis rejected the proven theory, forced Einstein to flee and brought hell to earth. youtu.be/WXOz9HHaO3I?...

“Both of them.”

Most people I know have seen this. But, MAGA needs to see it, so please share it elsewhere.

Tell enough lies and the gaps point to the truth.

"Ghislaine has no soul."

Hey @riseandresist.bsky.social and @tesla-takedown.bsky.social these guys need to show up in the meatpacking district.
