SCOTUS: Biden doesn’t have the power to reduce student loans. Trump can do anything he wants. This is what 10 years of voters have done.

What if you just take all the criminals that the FBI has arrested in the past 10 years, then make them switch jobs with the FBI agents?!
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "Wake the fuck up to what's going on in this country... We're going to put everything on the damn line... People haven't given up yet. We're going to do this. We can win this November. We can win next November, and then we can get this country back on track."
We need new people. Drop the spineless losers and elect fighters.
The problem is that Republicans are a death cult.
How can you succeed if I sabotage you? See. You aren’t ready.
MAGA logic: If you can get away with anything then it wasn’t bad.”
@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "Before I went on Rogan's podcast, I went on Fox... I'm trying to go into places where Dems don't typically go because politics is about addition, not subtraction. If you want to maintain a pure, insular group, you don't want a political party, you want a social club."
A primer for the civically ill-informed.
But how do you know you’re in a cult?
Little Haiti is vibrant. And it’s facing the same cost of living crisis as neighborhoods across the city. That's why Brooklyn Chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn and I are bringing the Democratic Party together around a shared vision for an affordable New York. I am grateful for her endorsement!
Cults only remember that Beloved Leader is all good, and that we’ve always been at war with the Other.
All roads lead to the cult being a cult.
Learn from history!
I recently got to a first draft of Dark & Day 5. If you need an escape to a world of magic and mechs, let me know and i can share a code www.audible.com/series/Dark-...

As we all know, there’s has never been a documented case in history of an older man with a much younger woman…
Special thanks to everyone that didn’t vote for Kamala! You helped do this! Actions -> consequences.
Vote for Republicans, this is what we get…
I’ll stick with experts. Thanks.
RFK Jr. Says AI Will Approve New Drugs at FDA 'Very, Very Quickly'. "We need to stop trusting the experts," Kennedy told Tucker Carlson.
It’s a death cult
Millers ICE Gestapo is arresting green card holders now too! 👿👇🏼
The most pampered people complaining about minor inconveniences as if it were slavery while literally shrugging off actual forms of slavery.
Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."
The golden calf statue story is too painful dumb (and our reality).

Democrats: Just run (and deliver) on the platform that got the guy elected president 4 times!
Who cares if there are no balance of powers preventing unrestricted abuse by POTUS so long as we stopped that one trans swimmer from swimming that one time, right?!?
But Justice Sotomayor explains lays plain the dangerous consequences of this decision.
MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF
Fro all those “both parties are the same” folks
They were too busy worrying about the existential threat of that one trans swimmer
What will it take for 77 million voters to learn this was worse than the alternative?
Or we could do local solar, windmills, dams, etc. www.economist.com/graphic-deta...
Who gets to avoid identification and accountability in our system?
If only we could have known that oil was subject to this risk and diversified with local, perhaps even alternative, energy sources…
These are the consequences of the election.
32% voted to stop it, and 34% did not vote.
We are in this situation because 33% of Americans voted for it. www.census.gov/newsroom/pre...
Why would that one trans swimmer do this to us?!?
we're gone from "90 deals in 90 days" to sending letters to other countries pleading with them to negotiate
100%
Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"
18 white old anti-Christ men
🤷🏼♂️
For those confused by the China tariff news: • Trump caved and got zero in return • No manufacturing moved back to the USA • 30% tariff is still a huge tax on Americans • 90 day pause still causes uncertainty • Trump lost all negotiating leverage

Let's get #WokePope trending. It will infuriate all the right people.
Bullshit. Republicans did this.
Our collective purpose is to grow wonder, ability, relief and peace.

In a short 400 years we went from knowing we were the center of the universe to knowing that we are just one planet in one of billions of solar systems in our galaxy and our galaxy is one of billions of galaxies and I do think we haven't quite dealt with that...
Welcome to the era of DEI for idiots, where proven bad ideas replace ideas that experts know actually work.
The whole "every man a rugged individualist island" marketing campaign going on for longer than my life has done such incredible damage to us as a people.
Being lied to to baselessly feel great about themselves and angry about others is what they voted for.
Trump works for Putin. Duh. Always has.
the jobs of the future, where you will be a hereditary serf producing goods for your betters
100 days of disaster (that was predicted and completely Trumps fault )
Does Neil deGrasse Tyson Believe in God?
I’m wonder if every other world leader is going to encourage this behavior…
The world will unify against Trump and that will weaken the USA. Thanks all non-Kamala voters…
Standards for Democrats: How dare you not solve all Middle East peace! It’s all your fault! Standards for Republicans: Beloved Leader Trump destroyed my business, kidnapped my wife and kid, stole billions, supports dictators, is above the law, just give me bread crumbs and I’ll still love you!
Welcome, @katiephang.bsky.social!
Your other option is the Cult of Trump.
There is no 3rd party in the USA the could realistically win. To consider that is to be delusional. Not voting throws away your ability to contribute to a decision. Either the Democrat or Republican will win the presidency. It’s your choice between those two.
Putin says Trump’s been his best investment
You have two options: one where 15k die, another when 100k die. I choose the lesser option. Tell the 75k that outcomes don’t matter.
If you helped Trump win, the reverse question applies to you “So you are okay with 15,000 children being exterminated and Trump telling them to “finish the job” of eradicating Gaza?”
Agreed that the clear lesson is that there must be a robust and fair primary process.
I hope you have a really wonderful day! Thanks for taking the time to talk through this with me.
Trump on Gaza: www.ap.org/news-highlig... Also, to me the decision has to be bigger than Gaza. Global stability, economy, US civil rights, Ukraine, technological advancement, a fair justice system, freedom of speech, healthcare, all better options under Democrats than Trump.
Right. We had two options. Kamala tried to consider both sides. Trump wants to flatten Gaza and sell it off to the wealthy. I don’t know how more clear it can be that Kamala is better than Trump, but now we, and the Palestinians, are living with the Trump choice. We’ll see that outcome.
Trump: www.ap.org/news-highlig...
Kamala: youtu.be/lzV51vjoMaE?...
I want to believe that would work, but this was a second Trump victory. I hope that people can learn when their decisions do enough direct harm to themselves. It’s tariffs and small businesses. It’s Latinos for Trump that are now targeted by ICE for how they look.
Right! We don’t need moral posturing, we need to make bad situations better. Even if that is small improvements. Outcomes matter more than ego.
I worry about us making the same mistake again. I guarantee that the next Democratic nominee in 2028 won’t be perfect. They will have areas of valid criticism. I excuse that to pale in comparison to the fascism the Trump’s cult offers. How can we avoid making the same mistake if voters don’t learn?
We can’t solve our problems if we ignore basic logic like “you have two options, choose the better of the two”. People are free to do what they want, but there are consequences. We can’t pamper Trump voters or non-voters so they feel absolve from the consequences of their actions. Choose better.
Ok, well let’s see how the “Both sides are just as bad” attitude actually works out.
We had two options. People chose Trump (through affirmative voting, or not voting for Kamala) and now we are living with those bad consequences in Palestine, in Ukraine, in the USA. Kamala would have been better in all regards and that has always been obvious.
Yes, voters (specifically in swing states) are the one to blame. They saw the two options, and they chose this mess over Kamala. How bad and obvious does Trump need to be? What incredibly high standard did Kamala have to meet? Yes, media bias to sane wash Trump was a factor, but voters have agency.
1. The critical lesson is that the DNC needs to hold robust primaries. 2. Trump is clearly not better for Palestinians.
This is every non-expert when put in a position of responsibility.
His ideas are bad and they don’t deliver the benefits he said they would. At some point even the cult will notice.
We didn’t have to be facing this, but you non-Kamala swing state voters chose it.
Trump is literally doing what we rebelled against King George for.
I recently re-read the Declaration of Independence and noticed these very things. It really was a “holy crap” moment.
This is a war on expertise. Real justice doesn’t parade and market to the masses. It follows a fair process, uses evidence, in a courtroom. This hack wants to destroy justice for a manipulated mob.
100000% this:
Right. We need to win, and how many time do we have to run a play that loses?? 2016, 2024.
The only rule of the cult is the strict praise of Beloved Leader.

Now give Trump his day in court.
Yes, but the Republicans are a death cult that reject the concept of evidence.
Welcome to the vibes economy, where tribalism and conspiracy entertainment influence decisions more than consequences.
Interesting, though the real conspiracy is how we all keep getting distracted from the ultra wealthy hoarding more while taken away from the 99% of us.
@joerogantop.bsky.social There is a real conspiracy to cover up Trump’s idiocy and incompetence. This mind virus is coming at us from every direction and demands we ignore what we see and hear.
