Trump believes the country belongs to him and wants his cut. Tech Bros want to own everything. Project 2025 supporters believe in eugenics. Among them they are stealing everything bought and paid for by taxpayers. And what they can’t steal they destroy.
Trump wants a cut. He wants vaccine manufacturers and research institutions to come begging and offering him something in exchange for him “letting” them do business. How do you think Putin created “his” oligarchs?
He only hurts the cause he purports to preach. Inflammation is a thing. Gut health is a thing. Healing the Vagus nerve has real health benefits. My personal wellness routines address them. I am also fully vaccinated and support our brilliant scientists and what they have to offer. Not either/or.
www.lexpress.fr/politique/la... Project 2025, MAGA, and the tech oligarchs are willing to throw out a lifetime of relative peace and stability — from which they all profited — to remake Western civilization to be more palatable to them. Buckle up.
Good morning and #BreakfastCrew. I’ve be in a corner somewhere with my guitar. Been working on a new song. I have to follow them wherever they go, and this one is taking me on quite the journey.

Some of the names have changed since I wrote this last November, but the central reality is, sadly, upon us. snyder.substack.com/p/decapitati...
I stand with Chicago. I stand with Mayor Johnson. 🚨 NEW: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an executive order to resist Trump’s federal invasion and occupation of the city. Details in 🧵
Trump is like AIDS in 1989. Fighting him requires multiple layers of attack — prophylaxis, education, anti-virals. But the important thing is you have to fight. Every day.
Secession. Not succession, which was a TV show.
Good morning, Brenda. Looking forward to good coffee and some pastries. And hanging with the #BreakfastCrew
I have run into some misinformed people on this site who didn’t appreciate that I compared Trump to a Soviet leader. They believe the USSR was great until Stalin.
Donald Trump wants to turn the Federal Reserve into his own bank. We need to pause all Fed nominations amid his illegal takeover attempt and hold a hearing on how it will raise costs on American families instead.
Indentured servitude for Dear Leader. They have left their homes, jobs and families and they have to provide their own accommodations in DC.
Good.
The City of Atlanta is opening its first municipal grocery store today. The city is spending $3.5 million in partnership with a neighborhood grocery chain in an effort to eliminate a downtown food desert. www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...
Yup. Just like public sector employment. Trump thinks they are business contracts that he can renegotiate.
WTAF? Trump has canceled Kamala Harris’ secret service protection.
LE GOUVERNEMENT DEMANDE AUX HÔPITAUX DE SE PRÉPARER À LA GUERRE D'ICI MARS 2026 Cette révélation du Canard Enchaîné cette semaine fait froid dans le dos. Le ministère de la Santé a envoyé une consigne aux ARS pour que les hôpitaux se préparent à la guerre d'ici le mois de mars 2026. 1/2 🔽
It will be exponentially more difficult to end our nightmare once we are fully occupied militarily and we no longer have freedom of movement. The Obamas and the Clintons will probably go into exile, and Rachel and Laurence will be on pirate radio. It will never be any easier than it is now.
That doesn’t help patients today. CVS is uniquely positioned to challenge the CDC. It can defend and indemnify its pharmacists. Companies with the resources to fight Trump who choose not to are a big part of the problem. Trump won’t stop. He can only be stopped.
She’s right. The French know how to do it. But President Macron hasn’t directed his military to shoot protesters in the legs either. It will get worse here before it gets better because Americans will have to be shocked into action.
He believes in eugenics. That people with “good” breeding and the economic means to take care of themselves will survive, making humans better. Which makes him a perfect fit for Project 2025 and MAGA.
We’re back in Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman territory. Healthcare providers will have to rely on their own research instead of being able to look to CDC guidelines. CVS is taking the chickenshit way out.
Does it gross anyone else out that she’s sitting on a white couch in what looks like a thong?
The President of the US is not a figurehead. And we’ve had some bad presidents before. But we’ve never had Paulie Walnuts in the WH.
Can we start shaming and shunning celebrities who give Bezos air time? Why do they get a free pass for attending his wedding in Venice or going into space in his phallis rocket?
I’ve been saying the same thing, though I suspect his current moves are intended to prevent Blue states from unifying.
Stand up America. I can’t do this shit alone. Ty for your attention to this matter. #fkngGilead
CDC employees standing up and walking out in light of the mass shootings, firings, and *waves hands in the air* everything else. #USAnotRFK Lets gooooo
Trump and MAGA put the lie to some Americans’ cherished beliefs that that Germans were predisposed to accept the Nazis. Or that Muslims are predisposed to violence and therefore there cannot be a Palestinian state. It is happening here.
At a profound level, MAGA's immigration policies are simply a way to transfer taxpayer dollars to private contractors whose job is to terrorize the American people. Fundamentally, leaders are using our own money to destroy our democracy.
I can’t watch. A Few Good Men because they have the woman attorney commit malpractice.

Dear Beautiful Democrats, Shop at your local minority owned grocery stores or Asian/Mexican/Latin grocery chains. They have really great prices because they absorb trump’s bs tariffs They don’t want to listen to us aunties complaining. Don’t tell maga.
Q: “Are you worried all this pushback could provoke Trump to follow-through with sending the National Guard?” MAYOR @brandon4chicago.bsky.social Johnson: “As a descendant of slaves, can you imagine if my ancestors had that same rationale?“
Gevalt.
Taking over the train stations allows him to control OUR movement. And to prevent Blue states from sending troops to assist neighboring states. He can set up checkpoints, just like TSA checkpoints at airports.
Mr. President, would you please comment on the seizure of Union Station in DC, and Trump’s desire to take control of South Station in Boston? With these steps, along with sending troops to Chicago, Trump seems to be preparing to control movement in most of the country.
Mind passing through military checkpoints to get to work or to visit Aunt Minnie in Milwaukee. Maybe World Cup teams won’t mind either. FIN
Hypothetically, if a Midwestern governor wanted to send troops to assist a neighboring state during a major snowstorm, or to CO due to a fire, or for some other calamity, Trump could prevent it. Our freedom of movement is being choked off. It will be gone in a blink. But maybe Americans won’t 4/
Sending troops to Chicago gives him control of a major hub in the Midwest, and between the Midwest and the Southwest. This is NOT a distraction. We must assume someone with military experience is guiding Trump. And it’s not Pete Hegseth. @maddow.msnbc.com @marcelias.bsky.social If, 3/
Have seen reliable reporting that Trump wants to send troops to South Station in Boston. This will allow Trump to control movement between New England and NYC. The same way control of Union Station gives him physical control over, say, members of Congress traveling to and from DC. Just as 2/

Marco Rubio does. But he has nowhere else to go.
They will never again be part of polite society if they ever were. Russell Vought is possibly the only exception. He will slink back where he came from. But he’s a fanatical believer in what he is doing. None will never break from Trump until Trump is out and then only to save their own skins. FIN
And Blanche are likely to be disbarred. Rubio is done politically. Stephen Miller will probably be exiled if he doesn’t go the way of Adolf Hitler. Noem and Homan? Ditto. The other no-name, dead-eyed toadies in the cabinet will have to live on their yachts somewhere with Putin’s oligarchs. 2/
What makes this time in our history different from, say, 1974 or 2000 or even 2019 is that many of the people around Trump have nowhere else to go. They will not become lobbyists or go back to high-powered law firms. Or join the speaker circuit of prominent mainstream think-tanks. Bondi 1/

It’s “that is I.” The verb “to be” doesn’t have an object. 🤷🏻♀️
The term of every House seat expires at the end of the term. The current Speaker included. There is no mechanism to refuse to seat Dems until there is a new Speaker. Which means the safer play for Trump is to prevent the new House from being sworn in at all.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING Democrat Catelin Drey FLIPS Iowa SD-1 — a district Trump won by 11.5 points in 2024 — defeating Republican Christopher Prosch in a landslide special election and breaking the GOP supermajority.
This is one of the worst parodies of the Soviet Union I have ever seen.
This is Trump demanding his cut from American corporations. Why are the shareholders not protesting?
Ditto

He’s an elderly person getting medical treatment. If you’ve had elderly parents with health issues associated with aging, you know this isn’t novel. It doesn’t mean he’s about to drop dead.
Comments about voting out the GOP in 2026 seem more intended to sleepwalk us into what’s coming. Trump will NEVER allow a Democratic-controlled Congress to be seated. All of the House terms expire at the end of 2026, and it would serve Trump’s ends just fine for there to be no House and no Speaker.
And I forgot culture. The only thing they have on us maybe is Southern writers and the Allman Bros.
Remember the beginning of Gone With the Wind when all the southern gentlemen were boasting of what they would do to the Union? The truth is that the North (and now the Blue states) wipe Red states off the map in every positive category. Science. Health. Wealth. They need us.
Would someone please tell me what he is qualified to do besides removing chewing gum from the bottoms of seats in a movie theater?

Good morning, Brenda. Looking forward to one of Jaye’s mocktails and Josef’s pastries!
FIGHTING BACK GETS RESULTS Don’t let the bullies convince you that standing down is the way to protect yourself. They do this so they don’t have to deal with consequences for their actions. They depend on our acquiescence. Standing up is *strategic*, not just brave. Stand up now or it keeps going.
This political age was brought to you by people who simultaneously had no idea how good they had it and also no clue *why* they had it so good.
That mocktail looks great!
Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever. Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.” See where this is going?
Just like during the Civil War.
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

He’s just old. My dad and his friends who all lived well into their ‘80’s had all kinds of bruises and blotches on their hands and arms. It doesn’t mean death is imminent.
People who trash Newsom because they don’t want him to be president, maybe, I dunno, don’t vote for him in 2028?
For those too young to remember. Will some brave soldiers step forward now? youtu.be/VvShkZHqe1I?...
For sure. It might help Dem candidates to explain in simple terms how it will affect us in our day-to-day lives. Though I’ve come to understand that many residents of Red states have ZERO idea how much better off the average Blue state resident is. They can’t miss what they never had.
After the WW I armistice didn’t hold, the Allies were determined to obtain unconditional surrender of the Axis powers. How could JD Vance not know THAT?
Has anyone tried to estimate the additional burdens (financial and otherwise) on Americans from Trump ending almost of century of US supremacy in higher ed and scientific research?
Yup. We are there. The US is no longer a democratic republic.
How the eff did Maria Sharapova get into the tennis HOF? She was suspended for 2 years for doping. What a farce.
Bloomberg is reporting that Skadden represented Intel in the deal with the Trump admin. Skadden is one of the firms that cut a deal with the govt. to avoid a spurious lawsuit. The appearance of impropriety is off the charts. Coerced client? Conflicted lawyers? Awful stuff.
This is a dry run for checkpoints outside of polling locations on Election Day.
I thought he was the cracker?
Just a reminder to people in my feed trashing Newsom, President Barack Obama opposed marriage equality. Would you rather have had President McCain or Romney? So I’m blocking and muting as I see fit.
When I read “news” analysis about elitist Democrats who care more about pronouns than the cost of eggs, I’m reminded of Meryl Streep in TDWP. The MSM is mostly corporate. They have their set ways to frame issues, vetted all the way up the food chain. It would take act of God for them to change.
