Oh look. I finally made it to a thousand followers here. šš„±
Does anybody care anymore that this not how itās supposed to work?
The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why? Because it expired after its shipment was delayed. 1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed. This isnāt just inefficient ā itās cruel.
Democratic Senators: Please tell me how youāre going to block every single one of Trumpās judicial nominees. Looking at you @schumer.senate.gov.
BS. Medicaid pays for medical care, and you have to spend your life savings first.
Iāve found that you can view all his latest drivel on a site trumpstruth.org . Thank you to them for making that available.
Within the last week or so Truth Social has been modified such that you need an account to see Trumpās posts, and to register you need to give them a valid cell phone number. Screw that. Plus how can that be legal since Trump often uses that site to make policy announcements?
Tell me again how being a child rapist is incompatible with Trumpās character. www.cnn.com/2016/10/13/p...
I donāt know why thatās so rare here. This platform would seem to have many advantages, but itās just not very interactive. š¤·š¼āāļø
After 7 months of being almost exclusively on BlueSky, I think Iām going back to Threads. Iāll probably dual-post here, at least for a while, though it really seems a waste of time. Why? After 24 hours posting almost the same stuff on Threads I get more likes, reposts, and actual conversation.
Apparently this is a timeline where weāre discussing whether the President of the United States raped children and is covering up evidence to that effect. Iād like to switch the please.
So what do you think will happen when the E. Jean Carroll civil suit appeal gets to the Roberts/Trump SCOTUS? thehill.com/homenews/adm...
Notice that āLies Socialā now requires you to create an account to see Trumpās rants. Thatās new.
The more Trump protests paying attention to the Epstein files, the more people become convinced heās in them.
Thinking of going back to Threads.
Letās see how long i can stay at 998 followers. I donāt think this platform is catching on.
Or if you canāt do that find a different job.
Yelling into the void once again.
His meds are clearly off.
Waste of breath. There will be no accountability while Republicans have power.
On the one hand I believe there is a list. On the other, itās Alan Dershowitz lying for attention again.
The only thing that matters is will they vote to fix it.
Letās all pretend to be shocked.
The GOP Doesn't Care about You. It Never Has. open.substack.com/pub/lincolns...
Excuse me?
āSuperman is too woke!ā Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:
h/t @marisakabas.bsky.social
That ALL government officials are accountable to the same laws as those they govern.
That government is of, by, and for the people, that every person, regardless of wealth should have equal ability to run for office, and that political candidates should not be advantaged by money.
To abhor such things is the essence of morals. To do so for some people and not others is just evil.
That we are stewards of our planet, climate change is real, and that it is in our national interest to make changes that promote conservation and climate change mitigation.
That in return for labor to the best of their ability every individual is entitled to enough healthy food to thrive, shelter, healthcare, and education.
That the killing of another human being is always wrong unless it directly and immediately prevents the killing of innocents.
That peace is always preferable to war, and that the strength of a national defense may be directly measured by the lack of need for its use.
That wealth is not created in a vacuum, and the truly financially successful must give back to this country in proportion to their level of success.
That the color of your skin or the country of your origins is entirely irrelevant to how you should be treated.
That that we love is far more important than who we love, and that as long as itās not harming anyone else, the fact of love is to be celebrated and not denigrated.
That all human beings are born equally deserving of dignity and to be treated with kindness.
We hold THESE truths to be self-evident.
We need a strategic and inclusive vision, a Project 2026 document. A declaration of who we are.
The great heroes of democracy didnāt dream as children of fighting against tyranny. History found them, and their character was equal to the challenge. History has found us.
An amazing thread.
Does it still do a body good? www.reuters.com/business/hea...
It was supposed to be a joke!
Tell āem general.
I think this is 100% right.
I would think that if youāre wearing a skin tight balaclava mask over your face, a clever app developer should be able to remove it via software. Think an app to show what ICE agents really look like.

It is not a moral view. Stop killing people is a moral view. Death to anyone isnāt a moral view.
That would be wonderful.
Representatives should not get to choose their voters. Thatās ass backwards.
History of that image. DC should sell those book covers. www.dc.com/blog/2017/08...
Actually I think theyāve dropped āfor the American wayā because it no longer is.
997 followers. I hope #1000 is not a bot, business solicitation, or porn site. šš¤š¼
Thought Iād put this here for those who think the new Superman movie is too āwokeā.
I keep thinking about how Gov Abbott had plenty of funds to fly and bus migrants all across the country but couldn't come up with a million for a flood warning system.
Proud to say heās my senator.
Yes, itās easy to dismiss the scene of Home Depot employees locking the doors to keep ICE out and letting customers out as needed, but then you stop and think about the fact that those storm troopers represent our government! š§
With everything else going on, I'm not sure people realize that Trump's latest tariff on Brazil took things to a new (lower) level paulkrugman.substack.com/p/trumps-dic...
Texas has no intention of ever having a fair election.
Every Christian clergyman in America should be speaking out against Trump by name now.
Of course he does given the collapse of American military support for Ukraine.
Where is the left wing psy-ops campaign?
Where is the left wing think tank to counter the likes of the Heritage Foundation?
Why are the democrats so much worse at self-definition and marketing than republicans? #Project2026
That really defines the problem, doesnāt it.
NASA was one of the few things Americans could be proud of. Raise a glass of Tang to the golden age of American space exploration.
Ann Coulter is a truly atrocious human. When she feels sheās not getting enough attention, she says something outrageous and waits for people to react and make her money.
Intimidation is the intent.
Why?
Is Texas ever going to figure out this man is pond scum?
Todayās āout of left fieldā post. If someoneās tastes run towards relatively expensive craft beers, what is a suggestion for an inexpensive widely available beer they might like.
Not even the Gestapo wore masks. . Man, these guys must really be ashamed of what they're doing.
Doesnāt the UN investigate concentration camps?
Another day where there is no Democratic āProject 2026ā plan.
š¤£šš¼
What a headline.
Oh I hope itās a train.
And who would he be making deals with? Not Democrats.
If I were Ghislaine Maxwell, I certainly would have made a copy of the client list, and Iād certainly have a plan that it be released if anything happened to me, and this week Iād definitely be applying pressure for my sentence to be magically commuted. Just sayin.
Yes. Grammaās got a new job picking lettuce.
Try it. Can you say civil war?
Oh oh grandma. No more playing bingo at the nursing home all day. Get out there and pick some lettuce.
Which is more predominant do you think, voters who didnāt have a clue about project 2025, those who didnāt believe us when we said theyād implement it, or those who wanted it implemented?
The point isnāt that itās something we should do. Itās that pretending this is a huge insoluble problem is a farce. The answer is comprehensive reform, but literally right now Republicans are fascists and Democrats have their thumb up their ass.
Love that.
Itās funny. Most of my life my inner monologue has resembled Batman (or Ironman if your mind tends toward Marvel), but more and more I identify with The Incredible Hulk.
Some days Iām just angrier than others. This would be a good day to not piss me off.
Iām just not seeing a strong Democratic Party that stands on a platform people can identify. This will not win elections.
Where is the Democratic proposal for comprehensive immigration reform? Seriously, while weāve got this phenomenal example of how to do things wrong, where is the Democratic counter proposal. In fact, where is the Democratic platform on anything! Complaining is fine, but show you have an alternative!

The whole idea of illegal immigration is a joke. You could stop it instantly by fining employers a million dollars per instance, but youāll never see that even suggested. No one wants to admit that we have a pseudo-slave system where we use migrant labor to do jobs Americans donāt want to do.
In other announcements, January 6th never happened and was totally fabricated through CGI by the liberal media.
Weāve reached the point where we hope the disaster doesnāt hurt us or our families, and the disaster is the Trump administration.
