Sure, it’s an echo chamber, but that’s only a problem if the echo is ugly. This is beautiful 🦋

While I applaud these moves, I’d be careful giving any corporation too much credit for moves likely driven by profit motive more than altruism.
Ahh…Trump once again working hard to make China great again.
In the fight against cancer, MAGA is on the side of cancer. Sounds about right.
One of the lasting impacts of this fascist cosplay is that I, a privileged cisgender white male, will forever be suspicious of ALL law enforcement & have lost all respect for the military, & I am ashamed that it took this to feel what black & brown people have been telling us forever.

If jock itch was a person…
She says “false rumors.” I say “trying to speak good things into existence.” Tomato, tomato, right?
I see Murkowski’s been taking the @schumer.senate.gov Strongly Worded Statement course, soon to be followed by Do Absolutely Nothing to Stop It.
If only they had the same disdain for actual gun violence that they have for rainbows and restaurant logos.
At this point, I’d endorse the oysters if they had a shot to oust Collins.
Someday, this little fascist clown will be the example used to explain the concept of gaslighting 🤦♂️
Spoken like someone who is not, and never will be, an expert in anything. Except maybe brain worms. I’ll give him that one.
They should also bar local law enforcement from ANY activity in support of federal agents, and require that they respond to ANY report of unidentified people trying to detain anyone.
In summary: no one is coming to save us, and the institutions designed to protect us can no longer be trusted. The only options left are to resist, or to accept fascist rule.
Common thread unique to the US: easy access to guns.
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
Live your life in such a way that the world doesn’t excitedly hope that you died.
This would be lovely, but would also take a complete change of Dem leadership. @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are NOT equipped for this moment.

This is disrespectful to every person who’s ever served this country in uniform.
Translation: Susan Collins pretends to care again.
…and Annunciation Catholic School…
Good for them! Part of the reason we are in this mess is the corporate media normalizing the insanity. It’s nice to see there are still good people willing to draw a line.
Let’s accept for a moment the concept of the rapture (thought experiment; humor me). So…how do we speed that up? I feel like all the Christofascists suddenly vanishing would be really positive for societal progress.
More of this! Use non-violent protest to ensure these people have not a moment of peace.
This is a good use of time for a President 🙄 What a child.
Every accusation is an admission.
This is disgusting. She is disgusting. “I like your Christ, but I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” ~Gandhi
I give him props for Cost Plus Drugs; at least he’s trying to do something. He seems to be trying to generate engagement lately with his posts here. It isn’t a good look, and only makes him the same as every other a$$hole billionaire.
That has nothing to do with the bill. By that logic, we shouldn’t have a military because the current SecDef is incompetent, or any other government program since the entire Trump administration is at best incompetent.
LMAO. Well played. Texas Democrats took their state trooper escorts to one unexpected spot: a gay bar www.chron.com/culture/arti...
He’s proven time and again that he is the wrong person in this moment.
No way he’s catching someone after they throw a sub and run.
I knew he was bad at blending his makeup, but damn! Oh, and, thoughts & prayers, I guess?
No poll should be given any credibility at this point, but we can hope. The problem if this happens is that it would put @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social in the Speaker’s chair. He has proven time & again that he is the wrong person for this moment.
America's drug dealers, child sex traffickers and serial killers have a special message for Donald Trump:
“…Trump loyalists are not just targeting people in order to intimidate opponents. They seem determined to rewrite history to suit Trump.” Every accusation is an admission. The only “lawfare” being waged is by this “administration of retribution.” The question is can we still save our country?
🚨 BREAKING: Republicans are lashing out at the creators of this new ad. They're TERRIFIED. It must have struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as pedophile-protectors. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles
“The president of the United States is openly admitting that his party cannot win a free and fair election.” I live in TX, and “free and fair” is not even on the list of priorities for our Republican politicians.
I’d call them snowflakes, but snowflakes are tougher than these people.
The unseriousness of these morons would be funny if it weren’t for the cruelty and fascism.
A little sign of hope out of TX. In a state where “didn’t vote” wins elections in a landslide, my hope is that the incredible overreach by the MAGA extremists causes an overwhelming backlash that ends their Christofascist remaking into Texghanistan.
Ideally, you want a president who thinks slavery is bad.
So Trump’s position is either “slavery wasn’t that bad” or “we shouldn’t talk about slavery being bad.” No surprise there. Either way, anyone who still supports him owns that. But tell me again how MAGA isn’t racist 🙄
What? The DNC and @kenmartin.bsky.social are ineffective in this fight? I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
Any police officer participating in this has made a choice. They could quit, but instead they are siding with the Gestapo, and reinforcing why ALL police must now be viewed with suspicion.
What people need to understand about Rs here in TX is they long ago sold their honor. They don’t fear voters where “didn’t vote” is usually the winner of elections. They consider it their job to follow orders from their authoritarian & billionaire masters, not to represent their constituents.
These Gestapo thugs make it necessary to be suspicious of ALL police.
The Reasoned Reality Project really created this absolute masterpiece. This is so beautiful and highlights how the most patriotic thing to do is to resist in offense against an increasingly totalitarian shift from our Constitutional social contract.
“By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." I guess the rest of that, apparently lost to history, was “or I’ll have you removed.” So very Christian of him.
What Trump accomplished was a public demonstration of his weakness, & to weaken the US in the process.
“Only the best people” working for the administration. Riiiiiiight 🙄🤦♂️
Trump did nothing today but demonstrate how weak and small he really is. Unfortunately, he also further weakened the US in the process.
Ahh, the great @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, leading from behind once again 🙄🤦♂️
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social strategy to always lead from behind is a…strategy. I guess.
What a colossal waste of resources just to cheat.
Agreed. And remember, in TX we can ONLY use birth names now, so “Rafael Cruz is throwing an absolute fit.”
Gestapo thugs, trying to intimidate political speech. They should be careful; never know when someone in a crowd has a sandwich.

Anyone who thinks police officers are unwitting pawns in this forget two things: 1. They don’t have to participate; they could quit anytime. 2. At least some LOVE the permission structure they now have to violate peoples’ rights.
Thank goodness the Gestapo thug was wearing body armor, or that $5 footlong might have really done some damage. Oh, wait, it’s the Trump economy…it was a $10 footlong.
I have my issues with @governor.ca.gov, but the way he’s handling this redistricting fight is exactly the energy we’ve been missing from Democrats.
Any artist who deserves this honor will decline to accept it from this moronic buffoon.
You will get no argument from me that our police forces largely fail to “protect and serve.” And the actions of the current administration necessitate viewing all police with suspicion.
Oops…forgot to tag @schumer.senate.gov. He needs to know we now consider him the poster-child for cowardly capitulation.
Too bad they were stabbed in the back by two spineless Dem Senators who didn’t have the courage to stand up to tyranny.
Those two Democrats must be taking advice on how to fight from Schumer. 🖕 them and their cowardly capitulation.
Weaponizing ICE indiscriminately. Military takeovers of cities. Destroying vaccine records. Hiding job numbers. Concealing child trafficking files. Again, good people don't support him. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/no-good-pe...
Now more than ever @freedcproject.bsky.social
Any artist deserving of this honor will decline it from this moronic buffoon.
@timmiller.bsky.social was only wrong calling ICE “thugs.” He should have said “Gestapo thugs.”
In a just world, the local PD would be there, standing between the Gestapo and the people, “protecting and serving” the people.
Interesting. Does anyone know how this turned out? encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...
I hold some sympathy for the National Guard members, who can’t just quit in protest. These a$$holes have a choice, & are choosing to be Gestapo collaborators.
You get no argument from me that our police forces do not live up to the “serve and protect” standard.
"There's a reason we separate military and the police: one fights the enemy of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." ~Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica
"ChatGPT, show me on a map where most of the crimes are being committed in Washington, DC."
Gestapo collaborators.
Listening to this press conference it seems clear that Trump is mentally gone and that his team is consolidating power for President J.D. Vance.
A weak, poor man’s idea of strength and wealth.
There are lots of Texans on your side. Thank you for doing your job & fighting for all of us!
And LGBTQ teachers are being told to take down pictures of their families. Call it what it is: systemic discrimination to indoctrinate a Christofascist ideology.
Was White House Down on TV last night?
Until we pass a nationwide ban on gerrymandering (which we need), Democrats should gerrymander every state to the fullest extent. 52-0 in CA, 17-0 in IL, and so on. No more unilateral disarmament. Time to get serious about fighting back.
These Democrats are the only TX politicians representing the people in this moment, & I hope national Dems are watching & learning. Fight now, in any way possible!
Big, tough men, needing all those people for one protester 🙄🤦♂️ Freaking small, weak little boys, playing dress-up so they can act like tough thugs.
Netanyahu only further damages Israel’s reputation through such inhumanity.
👇👇👇👇
This is an important difference between the left & the right. The left supports prison for ANY pedophile implicated in these files, regardless of who they are. The right is protecting EVERY pedophile who may be in these files to avoid implicating Dear Leader. We are not the same.
Saw Superman today. It was such a hopeful vision of true American values & humanity’s best possibilities. That anyone could view it as anything else says so much about their own issues. And Krypto was the best part.
Sometimes the schadenfreude is delicious. Good job, Karma. ♾️/10, no notes.
