Concerning Trump‘s press conference today… In light of the Epstein survivor testimony expected this week, take whatever you’d expect Trump to say, raise it to the stupidest exponent imaginable… Then double it.
Psychologist, appreciator of uncomplicatedness, trying to dwell happily in things as they are but I curse a lot. Cats are my people. I like the feeling of contemplating a vast starry sky.

This, coming from a man who looks like a dead eyed ghoul, and who is neither a doctor nor scientist, and if he were an MD attempting to become licensed, he would be denied a license for a long history of well-demonstrated profoundly horrible judgment.
Nate silver hopes he can continue to try to scare Democrats into supporting the same losing political strategies that have led to our losses in the past.
Most of the labor rights that define America today- rights that under constant attack - are owed to Fanny Perkins, the first female cabinet member in US history and the architect behind the New Deal. open.substack.com/pub/rebekahj...
Authoritarianism! — brought to you by American apathy, toxic positivity, and both-sidesism!
Very insightful report on the state of reactionary centrism: "even people who had come to a conference about how Trump and his movement have duped the country … could still be duped by Trump and his movement."
Why can’t they be tasked with doing something to really help our national economy…. like go help the farmers and tend the fields…go fill the empty building trades jobs…..help tend to chickens and bring down food prices….go help manufacture generic medications….go build a new semiconductor facility….
Why aren’t there left wing malicious forming to defend the states in response to the authoritarian takeover that is underway?
This is definitely the vibe we need for our morale. Thank you GCN — keep it up!
Why does the NYT want democrats to fail. Why can’t you publish how poor Trump’s and MAGA’s polling numbers are and make THAT the top headline news. Oh wait….. can’t bite the hand that feeds you or risk the wrath of the orange Führer.
I have the same question.
What’s the felony!?!?!? Let them!
Why tf aren’t the Texas Grand Old Pedo-enablers being charged with kidnapping right now. WHY
🤣🤣🤣
This is sickening.
🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸
I plan to be a MAGA-Affirming-Surgery Rep for Halloween
The accusation of bribery is RICH coming from Abbott who openly leads a corrupt pay to play state. It is known that any organization that wants to be heard has to contribute to Abbot to get a seat at the table ‘because that’s just the polite thing to do’.
@marcelias.bsky.social: We "need to tell Republicans that if they take 5 seats, we're going to put 30 seats on the table... When people say to me 'don't bring a knife to a gunfight,' I don't even want to bring a gun to a gunfight. I want to bring missiles to the gunfight."
ICYMI: Amazon still doing Amazon things The company is not only reintroducing new versions of old features that allow police to access footage from Ring users Amazon is introducing a new Ring feature that will allow police to request *livestream* access to our home security devices. @eff.org
Republicans hate me because I fight hard and I refuse to be held back by norms and rules that the GOP ignore. If Republicans try to gerrymander another 5 seats in Texas, Democrats should gerrymander 30 more seats in states they control.
As I write this I could just cry. Manual labor is severely unappreciated and thankless. Do MAGA assholes know how brutal it is to work hard with your body in the heat 6 days per week? Good honest people are living in terror because of white supremists who masquerade as christian. Fck MAGA
"They falsely stated that I, a U.S. citizen, have no Constitutional rights at a point of entry, and officers became increasingly agitated as I continued to assert my rights regardless."
The only people playing political games are Johnson and the Trump administration. It is so obvious that they could easily be done with the Epstein issue if they released the files and there wasn’t anything criminal or implicating in those files. So it’s obvious they are covering something up.

Hi Joyce did you see this account that appears to be impersonating you? I reported it.
by MAGA’s own rules shouldn’t those docs be charged with child endangerment at least? Because they value the personhood of the fetus even if not the mother.
No, this is not a joke. This is real. North Carolina Republicans have introduced a sweeping elections bill that, among other steps, would bar election officials from encouraging or promoting voter turnout. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/don...

Exactly!!!
The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like. And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie
I encourage everyone to read this letter. Please then realize the president is imposing a tax on American consumers to leverage a foreign nation into making a domestic political decision that will help one of his political allies.
…and until they wise up and realize they’ve been conned into believing their suffering is Biden’s and immigrants’ faults. Sometimes conned by their own pastors even.
A giant new mural, titled Wall of Shame, has launched in Brooklyn, New York, to remind people of the alleged crimes committed by more than 1,500 Maga loyalists.
This rhetorical trick is known as a Galileo Gambit, or as I call it, pseudo-parrhesia. "Look at me, I am brave to speak up against some amorphous, censorious blob (cabal?) that exists only in the narratives I spin about who I am and who I am speaking against."
Let’s remember that it was the billionaire corporate class Bessent represents that sent jobs abroad while chasing profits. Now all of a sudden we need them back in the US. Follow the money - who will benefit?
Mayor Brandon Scott has reduced crime in Baltimore by 62%, and now has the lowest homicide rate in Baltimore history. How did he do it? NOT be spending more on police. He did it by MAJOR investment in afterschool and literacy programs. Socialism works
And this flooding is in Chip Roy’s district….
This is happening in Chip Roy’s district btw.
This is utterly vile. Loomer is calling for ethnic cleansing and we need to say so, every single day, and stand in the way of this.
Oh these are good thanks
Decided I’m going to be a MAGA-Affirming-Surgery rep for Halloween “so the ugly on the outside can match the ugly on the inside”. Got some prosthetic lips and cheeks, fake boobs, orange spray tan, a big center parted wavy wig and fake gold cross necklace. And I’ll pass out “Mar-a-Lago face” flyers.

If Christian Nationalist parents are allowed to have their kids opt-out of any books that dare mention anyone gay, then all the other parents should be allowed to let their kids opt-out from the Ten Commandments.
Most other members of BHEC are in real estate. I think this says all you need to know about how much Republicans care about the quality of mental health services and the role of mental health providers in the community.
The new head of the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council is an insurance industry analyst. BHEC oversees licensing and regulation of the practice of psychology and other mental health professions. And of course, what could be more important here than the bottom line for insurance companies.
More like abusive, angry daddy

Came here to say exactly this also.
You know what’s more American than installing 88 foot flag poles at the White House? Following the Constitution.
Such a relief and I hope it holds against appeals
Yes, Trump is a threat to democracy. But the far bigger menace is the monstrous growth in wealth concentration over five decades that made a Trump presidency possible—and maybe inevitable. https://trib.al/mCpdvJH
As I have noted before, some of the research and rhetoric driving the whole Klein "Abundance" schtick is coming from far right think tanks with links to Peter Thiel. bsky.app/profile/hunt...
AND if you fight back against them can you actually be charged with assaulting an officer, when the person has nothing on them identifying themselves as an officer. !!!
Boelter was known for his deep involvement in a charismatic Christian movement that emphasizes spiritual warfare, the belief in a divine army, and the idea that political opponents are possessed by demons. The movement played a role in the J6 insurrection.
"Among the details about the suspect beginning to emerge is that he reportedly attended a bible college that is a stronghold of the New Apostolic Reformation, the charismatic movement that teaches that Christians are called to take over the US government." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
So dignified
Just so I’m clear… Terry Moran got fired, but Mike Lee is still a sitting US senator?
Even cops are afraid of other cops? 🤷🏻♀️
Where did Boelter attend college & cultivate this level of hate? Professor Seth Cotlar has a 🧵 bsky.app/profile/seth...
There’d better be a no-holds-barred major perp walk with this terrorist surrounded by armed officers in front of the cameras tomorrow
If you are dumb or naive enough to believe the grifters on the right who tell you they’re oppose to immigration because it drives down wages for native-born workers, just ask them 1) if they support raising the minimum wage and 2) how come the GOP doesn’t? Go ahead.
They should be going after THE EMPLOYERS not the workers! It’s the corporations and employers who created the problem.
🤣🤣🤣
We will be spending $134 million to deploy Marines following a five-block street protest in downtown LA. We'll offset the cost by forbidding military libraries from buying books by Black authors. by Pete Hegseth
Call me too pure, but fb is an algorithmic scourge and fb should be banned.
It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.
When people say it’s hyperbolic to compare Trump to Hitler or to infer that Republicans are Nazis, they’re obviously very unfamiliar with history. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
BREAKING: Texas Gov. Abbott says he’ll deploy the Texas National Guard to locations across the state “to ensure peace and order,” ahead of a planned protest in San Antonio.
The Voigts, Thiels, Yarvins and magats just don’t get that dismantling the government is not going to elevate family and church. It’s just going to put strain on everyone, which will hurt families. We need government to fund things for the common good that for profit businesses will never provide.
Please share liberally.

Trump sent the Guard to scare us. This man walked right up and spoke for a nation. This is what power looks like when it speaks. No violence, peaceful protest. ✊🏼 #NoKings #WeThePeople
Here we go again. Just like in 2020 right-wingers will be posting old videos or videos from other countries claiming it was today in the US. All for clicks and to fan the flames of division and hatred. It’s part of their standard playbook.
