Lying liars and the lies they tell

“We’re all going to die, Arghavan”. Just Joni Ernsting my way through the Upside Down here…
Emperor Palpatine
Writing flash and shorts about kick ass women and all I can say is, when I grow up I want to be Nikki Monninger

Donald Trump pretends to care about Medicare fraud, but then turns around and pardons a guy who ran a $1.3 billion Medicare fraud scheme.
Dear Democratic Leaders, If you won’t stand up for trans people and their rights, you’re tellling me you won’t stand up for *anyone* or *any rights* the second they come under attack. You’re telling me you don’t stand for anything at all. Also, they’re *people*. Grow a spine or get out the way.
the sun would no longer rise without tariffs
Me too Momo. Me too.
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
The Constitution provides Congress the power to override a Presidential veto. They aren’t co equal on law passing. Congress is the superlative body.
Nope
The Honda Accord of Cats!

Lucky eagerly awaits news of the arrival Of your new beloved
Adorable and thoughtful. Like the book. Best to you.
Roberts will go down in history as the Chief Enabler to the fascist dismantling of our democracy. A pox upon his house
Break him Blue States. Sweep the leg. All these fascists joins to lose.
This exactly.
My people in DC, you know what to do. We do not support the fascists.
Cowards need to speak up
When a top CDC scientist resigns citing eugenicist rhetoric from federal health agencies, everyone should absolutely be paying attention.
Every Leavitt briefing is just an unscrutinized gaslighting sesh
Yeah. Thats a hard no from me Dawg has the same effect
I mean, when @alexanderchee.bsky.social and Alice Eliot Dark rec a book, I listen. But yeah, it was a crazy coincidence. I want @tommydeanwriter.bsky.social to read it, but Hopper may break his heart (spoiler. Sorry)
This is bullshit. Every veteran in Arlington will be rolling over
Fonseca was a truly interesting dive for me as I had just started reading Offshore a few weeks prior. Serendipity.
Lying liars and the lies they tell
Yes. Eugenics.
But but but the Naked Idiot Emperor was going to stop the war and control Putin….
This. These lying assholes and the stupid fuckers who swallow their shit. My French? Fuck it. I’m furious. The Fascist Idiocracy is driving us warp speed into Hell
Fuck this clown. I visit urban areas all over this country. I’m most scared when I go to see my parents in rural Virginia and every damn pick up truck has a maga sticker, gun rack and confederate flag. Who is he interested in protecting?
This guy is an unhinged MAGA election truther appointed this year, one of hundreds administering elections across the country.
Hey Wormhead, your Regime contributes to violence
Not a doctor. I just play one in a syndicated regime that is playing gubermint.
I refuse to take any “news” organization seriously until they stop calling it an Administration and start calling it The Regime
The CFO for saying that out loud or the Regime bc they just don’t know how to govern?
Today really sucked. I’m thankful that I threw handfuls of seeds into this water patch of dirt weeks ago. These flowers remind me that beauty can be found anywhere with hope and perseverance.
YELLEN: “.. Trump’s attempted sacking of Cook should be met with outrage, not with shrugs. .. And the financial community must raise its voice against a direct assault on the credibility of the dollar itself.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/d2ea...
Jason L. Riley is such a a pathetic bootlicker. That’s all. That’s it.
www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-... These fucking losers can’t even come up with original evil- all their awful little plans are taken from Hitler and Mussolini’s pages
Hey! You know who loved trains? Mussolini
Look. There is a lot of nefarious shit going done the United States right now but I spent a whole year of my life convincing this cat he would be better off inside my house than on the street. 4 years later, I give you the most loving cat ever. Investing in betterment works.
A 1955 writer casually dropping a “Germans tended to go along with Nazis just like your all-American wife goes along with segregation” is both the answer and the question for “how we got here”
May they shun her name
This. Sweet baby deity in an animal feeder this
Iowa.
When this regime falls, and it will because all these fascists bound to lose, may the prosecutions come swiftly and justly. Shame on these sycophants.
Clutches pearls, farts
Nah. “Many People Say They Hope You Are dying
This. All day. All Night. All you Fucking Fascists Bound to Lose
LFG
Fuckers
There is no political downside to opposing authoritarianism.
What it takes to be alive in America right now- wow
Let’s be clear about what is happening: This man is being punished — and disappeared — because he embarrassed our pretender king. They trumped up a criminal case against him because he was embarrassing.
1) ABC/NBC should lose license or pay hefty fees because their reporting is mean to him. 2) MD should maybe lose bridge repair funds because Wes Moore was mean to him. 3) The feds should investigate Chris Christie for Bridgegate because he was mean to him.
It cannot be overstated how incredibly stupid these people are
Despicable
I had the t shirt that I wore to ribbons
Hey! Same! Also, one day I might apply…
Warren: "We can't live in a world anymore where we pretend that everybody is playing by the same set of rules ... Republicans are determined to rig every rule they can, to break laws in order to seize power and to hang on to it. As Democrats, we have a responsibility to fight back & fight back hard"
Cutleaf Journal will be open in Sept for collaboratively written short fiction up to 4k words. Guest editors for this call are @kimmagowan.bsky.social & Michelle Ross, who wrote a collab story in Cutleaf which you can check out here. Also included: an interview with them abt their process.
In Middleton, NY. This guy probably saved his neighbors from Trump's masked thugs. This is how you firmly assert your rights and stand up for our communities.
Trump is trying to destroy American democracy based on Russian disinformation direct from Putin would be my headline but I get that could refer to too many news items
Saying fascist takeover out loud
I’m sure somebody already said this but: the latest season of HACKS is about the top-rated host in late night ending their show bc they made a joke about a powerful man and network execs decided to make an example of the show.
When this Regime goes down, I hope every one of these MFers serves life in prison- in El Salvador
So Trump wouldn’t be able to vote in Virginia but he’s our president…. Cool cool cool
The hives I developed watching a woman lope barefooted through Detroit airport on Sunday…
I’m sure Margot El- Sage would be helpful! Also Politics & Prose!
For anyone who's interested, I'm teaching a workshop in a couple of weeks (2nd Sep) called "I Hear Voices." It's all about: levels of voice what defines voice vocab, imagery, description, style authenticity, appropriation, consistency Should be lots of fun!! www.mattkendrick.co.uk/live-worksho...
Sad but true.
Duh
This is absurd. The TX GOP has hijacked democracy
Oh! @legroff.bsky.social has a good story!
Big Government
Here's the thing about this whole "ballots were sent to dead people" talking point. Mailing in a ballot for a dead person IS A CRIME for which you can be prosecuted. Who the hell would risk a major fine or jail sentence to mail in a single ballot sent to dead Uncle Jasper? Apparently Van Drew would.
Five steps! You don't even have to leave home.
The Idiocracy will not be silenced!!!

Maryland state police should be ARRESTING ICE agents who do this. Impound the vehicles. Force the Trump admin to litigate. @raskin.house.gov lives here and should stand up and say this now. Along with @vanhollen.senate.gov and @alsobrooks.senate.gov.
Love to see it
Every one of these fuckers should be sued for slander
All 45 people who live there are Nazis
@cnn.com @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @nytimes.com @thewashingtonpost.bsky.social News Flash: Slavery is an abomination. Calling it out and explaining that our country literally went to war to STOP slavery is WOKE AF and so am I. Woke=Informed. Push back on the fascist naked emperor. Woke USA
A United States Senate investigation has identified more than 500 credible reports of human rights abuses in US immigration detention since January, including alarming allegations of mistreatment of pregnant women and children.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu: “Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it is…Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.”
a worthy event... why are Ohio taxpayers funding Trump's fascist show... and what if their guardsmen are needed back home?? www.mobilize.us/commoncause/...
The Broligarchs have established the New American Corpocracy
Ffs. It is embarrassing being an American right now
Jfc. Someone throw an American history book at this twatwad’s head
Texas State Rep. Nicole Collier spent the night on the House floor after refusing to agree ‘to round-the-clock monitoring by state troopers’ www.keranews.org/texas-news/2...
This is the way
Texas Republicans, marching to Trump’s orders, push mid-decade maps to grab five more House seats. It’s raw voter theft disguised as redistricting, part of a national power grab meant to strangle democracy before 2026.
This is not getting the attention it deserves
You say sad, I say pathetic.
Look. I won’t sugar coat this shit. The American experiment failed. We are in the midst of a full blown fascist siege of our Capital city. I’m livid. Also, hubby and I went to Flyover Country and spent a lovely weekend with old friends. Take joy. Resist. Unite. Do not fold to fascists.
