Isnt it true that the taller candidate has won all but 1-2 presidencies ?
The lies' laughable implausibility is a feature, not a bug. They're not trying to convince discerning, skeptical, fact-based people. They're trying to give supporters a fantasy that validates their feelings and creates a sort of loyalty test, while flaunting the absurdity in everyone else's faces.
I think being spineless and brainless will really help him in this situation. Thoughts and prayers.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
This is the way
This is also the intentional inevitable result of the gop in the post 2008 era of simply refusing to govern at all if they weren't in power "nothing gets done" easily becomes "we need a strongman to get things done".
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Someone should write a book....
How do the reporters not burst out laughing?
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldnβt go along with the lie. (Seriously, thatβs the answer)
Good.

She needs you to let her rubber stamp it first, or she'll be worried and or concerned.
Americans voted for disease. Some badly wanted it, having spent the last few years fuming that there weren't more COVID deaths. Many others weren't actively pro-disease, but didn't care about it, prioritizing things like seeing immigrants hurt on TV, or making Joe Biden and Kamala Harris feel bad.
Daskalakis: I very specifically use the term pregnant people, and very specifically added my pronouns at the end of my resignation letter to make the point that I am defying this terrible strategy of trying to erase people
i was told that trumpβs modest improvement with black and hispanic men meant that racism had nothing to do with MAGA. oh well.
Just caught a local news segment from Boston about the increase in apt vacancies, likely because of fewer international students able to secure a visa. Vacancies are up 153% around Northeastern, for example. www.nbcboston.com/news/local/b...
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
That's really nice!
This woman was part of a violent attack on America. Threat to members of Congress and the VP, ignored clear law enforcement warnings. Then an officer shot her once when she tried to get through a barrier. Itβs as justified as a police shooting can get. If attacking America is honorable, what isnβt?
the modal domestic terrorist over the next decade is going to be a terminally online 20-something who cooks their brain in irony-poisoned social media spaces and decides to kill a bunch of people as an elaborate shitpost
If the Democratic Party intends to win this fight, it must stop functioning solely as a party & instead step into its moment in history: to lead a pro-democracy movement capable of confronting this authoritarian threat. https://www.lincolnsquare.media/p/stand-up-america-the-time-for-a-pro?r=2lckc
Sure seems to send a message of regime>constitution
AIPAC SHAKUR is legit gold.
Imagine just giving them housing?
If Trump goes βIβll cut your federal funding,β and you go βplease no, not that, letβs negotiate to satisfy your concerns,β heβll demand more later brandishing the same threat. Then more. And more again. If instead you say no, maybe you lose that federal funding. But thatβs all, youβre not beholden.
How can Democratic candidates win special elections with 22 point swings while the Democratic Party has such low approval ratings? The answer isnβt hard to figure out. And itβs not because voters think national Democrats are doing too much and going too far in opposition to Trumpβs abuses.
Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984. The question isnβt will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.
Heh, seen.

Thank you!
I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health
How so?
Trump is going full fascist early because he is weak and unhealthy. I think his inner circle realizes this which is why they're trying to get as much down quickly and go full authoritarian for Vance to have as much power as possible.
I hope the orange clown is dying. I hope his death is long and painful. I hope during his press conferences, body parts start falling off and the flesh falls from his face. I hope it is contagious and every one of his circle gets it.
The Eric Adams scavenger hunt was tough. I donβt speak Turkish. And while I picked up that I was supposed to exchange money, I donβt think I got the amount right.
i'M SCARED SEND IN THE MARINES! - Maga
It's like no one watched Andor. You need uncomfortable bedfellows....
I've never understood why so many risk so much for a guy that clearly has no loyalty to anything.
That's a great observation.
They have to be planning right? They're not going to just accept a federal invasion?
π π π π
Much easier when the only real law left is "the admin wins".
You know what's crazy? There have been no op-eds or editorial statements in major newspapers this year calling on Trump to resign. None calling for his impeachment. None asking if he's medically fit to be in office. Not one in any major newspaper all year.
Someone needs to add tubas to the audio.
They dont get how cringe this is do they?
That's my fear is a passive acceptance that 'well shit maga is just in charge' and everything is just shitty, but not shitty enough to annoy white people
They also destroyed the admin state as a first attack...but they'd need it fully functioning to consolidate. I firmly believe this will fail, theyre too incompetent, but it will be violent, they will not give up power.
Send in the national guard...oh...nvm you're on your own!
In a democracy with the rule of law sure. Not so much now.
I really appreciate how personalized you've communicated this horrific unjust attack on your home.
More like the Derp Reich.
Jfc I could kick millers ass and the list of people's whose ass i could kick isnt very big.
It might initiate planning...at least, dems still think "wait till midterms"
We fear that if we name it, then it becomes unstoppable and irreversible. And I don't think that's true. Name it to tame it.

Reposting this for some reason.
Obviously he's making sure no one will refuse orders to deploy the military during protests and elections. We're all just sitting here watching him prepare and hoping it somehow fails when he does it, which is a terrible strategy for fighting fascism.
This is just a slow motion coup. They took the Capitol, they took the court. They've funded their private leader-loyal para military. They're not ever giving up power without force. I wish more people understood what is coming.
Democratic governors and leaders, fight while you can, as hard as you can. Trump and MAGA are going full fascist. They're coming after all of us, including you. You can't make "deals" with fascists. You have to FIGHT them. FIGHT, finally, please.
Thomas Deininger uses plastic waste to create sculptures,or should I say,works of Genius!!!!!!
Oh, so thereβs a military leadership purge happening? If only Democratic leaders had any history to draw from to know what that means and usually precedes, they might have cause to sound the alarm.
She was painting the US side.. in her border patrol barbie photo OP.
He's so proud he can add 3+7....
Congratulations, John Roberts. You did this.
This is so importantβ¦ Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and sheβs finding they donβt match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tacticsβjust like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov π§΅
i think people need a refresher on what constitutes a Distraction. the cracker barrel logo thing (zero stakes, obviously invented controversy) is a Distraction. the ongoing military occupation of washington dc (ample footage of random delivery drivers being violently detained by feds) is not
I think at this point it's far too optimistic to think there will ever be a voluntary transition of power again. This IS A DEATH CULT they will not give up power and every single institution has been corrupted. There's no fixing this. IT just needs to break so we can move on to what's next.
Just saw all your comments from last nightβs post and someone shared a pic, Orlando showed up and used chalk to bring the rainbow crosswalk back! We love this so much!!! β€οΈπ§‘ππππ
As Andor taught us. YOU. WILL. NOT. LIKE. Everyone you need to align with, in a rebellion. There are those that are unsavory or you don't like, but you need.
He's right on this one.
You do not have to like John Bolton to see this for what it is.
Democratic Governors, what more do you need to see? WAKE UP. FIGHT. www.axios.com/2025/08/20/n...
The cretin is an abject moron.
The GOP is causing all of this chaos just so everyone will stop talking about the Epstein files. Never stop asking where the files are and why they're covering it up.
Just nowβ¦
Two things can be true: 1) this administration is causing & will cause incalculable damage & death to vulnerable people, and eventually to everyone except maybe the oligarchs. It is a horror show beyond many of our wildest previous imaginings 2) they are bungling fools and they have already failed
And Noem is living for free in the CG Commandant's house
Actually I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States with my hand on @bpl.boston.govβs 1782 edition Aitken Bibleβalso known as the Bible of the Revolution.
This is a great thread, Its really how I've gamed out the outcomes too.
Wow. Thank goodness the Trump regime has brought in the military to deal with vagrancy.
Do not give the Gestapo a moment's peace. Do not let them believe for a second they will ever be respected, trusted, or seen as anything but invaders.
We are past politics and that's the problem. we haven't had "leaders" per se we've had politicians. They do NOT have the skill set to manage this time. It's about power now. I can't blame the dems just like the few sane GOPers left they all think "We'll go back to normal at the election" we won't.

Love this scheme! Well done!
This is the way. If you don't meet them with violence they're slightly less likely to be violent and it looks even worse when they are. Boo and shun and let them see how much we don't want them.
In today's least-shocking news that we all knew before, Fox staff and producers all along the election wasn't stolen in 2020 and lied for ratings. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/fac...
Things need to get bad for white people. It's that simple. there's too many that think trump speaks for them they think they're in the "in-group" and have so much identity tied to it. They need to feel pain en masse. It's going to HAVE to get horrible before any chance of it getting better.
White House correspondents not standing with AP when the White House kicked them out for calling the Gulf of Mexico βthe Gulf of Mexicoβ was a watershed moment. The balance of the media effectively declared theyβll side with the Trump regimeβs lies and authoritarianism over freedom of the press.
This is a very polite way of telling the regime to kick sand and I'm onboard!
These white supremacist edgelords *always* look like the biggest goddamn losers.
"Relax your way into fascism with Chardonnay and Karen".
Trump voted mail in at least 2x recently.
