“We cannot overstate what just happened. It took just 71 days for Trump to wreck the American economy, mortally wound NATO, and destroy the American-led world order... There is no going back... The Canadian prime minister declared the age of American leadership over. He was right.” @jvl.bsky.social
“Trump’s tariffs wouldn’t be possible without extraordinary abuse of power on his part. The national emergency rationale is likely illegal. The lawlessness and the economic havoc are the same story… Constraints on dictatorial abuses of power facilitate economic prosperity.” @gregsargent.bsky.social
God I miss smart leaders.
“Trump’s decision to annihilate the global trade system [is because] he wants to abolish the income tax and fund the government through tariffs, thereby delivering the most regressive bonanza to the rich in the history of American taxation. He has said this many many times.” @chrislhayes.bsky.social
Absolutely NO HONOR
“He hung the Declaration in the Oval Office and then covered it with curtains so we wouldn’t see he’s using it as a checklist.” @primemadrox.bsky.social
Wtf 🤬🤬🤬
How long before he adds his scrawl in Sharpie, hoping people will start calling signatures a "Donald Trump" instead of a "John Hancock"?
“Gutting the IRS has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency and everything to do with making it easier for billionaires like Elon to evade taxes — while shorting you and every other American who actually pays their taxes. DOGE should be called the Department Of Tax Evasion.” @rbreich.bsky.social
I no longer care and I will not be paying taxes fuck him and fuck this country fuck this Administration
“I still can’t figure out when ‘we can deport you’ turned into ‘we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.’” @joycewhitevance.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/joyc... bsky.app/profile/adam... bsky.app/profile/slac... bsky.app/profile/ifin...
“Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.” @slack2thefuture.bsky.social
"deport" Seems more like "EXILE"
But they keep helping the people who hurt children. When are they sending the violent pedophiles? Including those in this administration!
Can KKKaroline Leavitt be deported to El Salvador?
Is there a role for the ICC at any point?
This is the definition of “abomination” under Pam Bondi, the “Clown Jewel” of the DOIJ, department of Injustice 🥶🧌
”[Trump] is running a crypto scam where he can receive millions of dollars anonymously. Meanwhile the DOJ has shut down the crypto investigations unit. Truly no corruption scheme like this in our history — at least out of the White House.” @timmiller.bsky.social @thebulwark.bsky.social
It's horrifying
📌
He will probably be accepting bribes in his crypto racket as he “negotiates” tariffs. Queue Dr Evil memes.
I think we've gotten rather numb to it. Some of us have been screaming for a long time, but no one seems to be held to account. We're tired.
I am also upset about the levels of corruption we are seeing. My take is that most Americans do not know about it. The vast majority of people in my community are surprised when I tell them. I try to get them to expand their sources of news outside Fox and MSM
“Trump is using the Abrego Garcia case to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop him from imprisoning anyone he wants anywhere else in the world never to be seen or heard from again. His dream is to preside over a police state.” @tribelaw.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/trib...
I guess, if no one fights back. I am ready to organize and fight, let's start an army of progressives.
“The [Trump] Government’s argument, moreover, implies that it could deport and incarcerate any person, including U.S. citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene.” Justice Sonia Sotomayor bsky.app/profile/ifin... @adamserwer.bsky.social :
“Refusing to restrain [Trump], we now have a de facto tyrant… If Republican Party does not return Congress to the role it is meant to play and the courts don’t constrain the president*, this cycle of destruction will continue and everyone on the planet will pay the price.” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social
trump has basically declared war on real Americans, the Constitution, and the rule of Law, and basically anyone who does not support him. Everyone needs to realize this and respond accordingly.
Fuq that.
What are the chances this man is alive?
Give it to them Jasmine
🔥🔥🔥
Call your Reps 202-224-3121 and don't hold back. Especially if they are Republican.
Trump wants to be the American Pinochet.
Exactly Right!
Right freaking on!
I doubt any of us is shocked by this corruption… I think it was expected by those who didn’t vote for him and celebrated by MAGA. There’s absolutely nothing we can do about it except scream and yell and then be told we are hysterical! Fucking insane…..
45% of the US gets its news from Fox so it's no wonder they don't hear about lies and corruption.
The bribery business is booming.
I'm sure this is somewhere in Project 2025....ughhhhhh
Grifter in Chief! 🍊💩🤡
GRAFT!!!!!!! The very point of trump’s presidency. GRAFT ALL THE TIME.
I think the Fox watchers don’t believe it. The ostriches don’t see it. The rest of of are trying to wrap our brains around the illegal actions by the deplorables.
We are very upset, but nothing ever happens to make things right. He gets away with everything.
or not speaking about it
Grifter government like Russia.
Corruption R. Us
It’s ok to be earnest.
People are deer in the headlights at the moment I believe, particularly red states and anybody who did not read Project 2025. Let’s face it we all knew Old Yeller was going to die but we were still shocked when it happened .
The "average" voter probably isn't getting this news in any way he or she can grasp.
The latter?
People are furious and feel powerless. They care plenty. What do you think would work best? Trying to avoid another January 6th here
I'm incensed every single day. MAGA doesn't believe it, although I'm sure they're not getting the news from their sources.
Criminal Enterprise in full view!
It’s difficult for the average person to get their head around the immensity of this corruption. It is on a scale never before dreamed of.
I, for one, am furious, truly furious.
This corruption diagram should be in the office of every House and Senate Dem. Because the updates are happening so frequently, a screen is needed, not a poster.
I believe it’s both. The amount of dreck that blindly-following MAGA supporters eat up from sources like Fox numbs them from seeking out alternative sources and facts.
Even sources from corporate media report these actions as if it is normal news.
I think people don’t comprehend that corruption is taking place. It’s the MSM.
People understand and are mad but they know they have little power to address it. Thank you congress cowards and supreme slime court
People don't know. It's not featured in MSM (neither were the Hands Off protests) or elsewhere where people now get their news. Figuring out how to reach citizens may be the most critical thing to do
SAME, IT IS MIND BOGGLING THAT SO MANY ARE SO BLIND TO WHAT IS HAPPENING OR EVEN WORSE, OK WITH IT!!
I don't think t's getting out there. People who work 40+ hours a week just don't have the time to search out the facts, and the MSM is letting them down.
Its the "cover" of shock and awe.
Latter. If my wife's family is any indication
I don't think we are naive or earnest to be shocked. Once community cynicism reaches a tipping point, control of citizens is that much easier. Many are in a state of learned helplessness.
Read Anne Applebaum - the template is Russia.
Both. MAGAts are fine with it. CORPORATE-OWNED MEDIA is ignoring it.
It is stunning, no doubt about it.
Media is not reporting
It’s ‘the they all do it’ excuse. Same as ‘both siderism’, it is being used to normalize bad behavior by the fascists
People who consume mainstream media and especially people who only watch Fox are getting a totally whitewashed presentation of what’s going on and so they’re cool with it. Read the excellent Slate piece from the author who decided to limit himself to Fox for a couple of days!
I feel EXACTLY the same way, and it breaks my heart to see this from my own community (at least on FB). I've decided to leave that platform and work on a local, state, grassroots level, continue direct action, and amplifying voices that have much larger platforms.
And we know people on facebook are being manipulated so they don't see accurate information.
I’m so pissed I can hardly stand to be around people. Especially ones I don’t know. Trump has got to go. We cannot tolerate 31/2 years of his bullshit.
Many don't understand it. Many don't pay any attention. Many are morally corrupt themselves and believe everything/everyone operate on the same level.
It’s wild. For me, I am most concerned right now with the human suffering and atrocities. It’s not that I’m not concerned about the corruption, I really am, but their method of flooding us all with so much awful, all the time, is unfortunately effective.
Have the states sue him. They are more effective.
She’s despicable
David Brooks says they wear crosses round their necks but a high school sophomore’s version of Nietzsche in their hearts
Since that’s unconstitutional, I wonder how many attorneys and Trump Cabinet members will go to jail. NOBODY is above the law. Isn’t that what AG Bondi said yesterday when defending the Feds arresting a judge? Turnabout’s fair play🙏🏻
Can't stand that lying bitch.
Fuck her ..
Deporter, deport thyself.
@lookner.bsky.social
THE TAX CHEATING EMPLOYER THAT IS EXPLOITING THE UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS GOES SCOT FREE??? That Is Against the Law - Right? EXPLOITING THE UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS
I thought Trump 2016 spokespersons were bad enough; you know, Huckabee, Spicer. We have truly moved into Goebbels territory in FOTUS2.0.
I wanna see Karoline have a heart to heart with Cassidy Hutchinson to talk about how great it is to be a young woman in Trump’s orbit! Like, a live TV event!

*or anyone the fragile widdle baby doesn’t like. <- She forgot THAT part.
She’s so dumb she doesn’t realize that she will be caught in the net when justice comes calling
Will they deport Ghislaine?
She is an amazingly talented liar
More lies her nose can’t get any bigger
So it’s out in the open now. Nobody is safe. Perhaps folk will arm themselves if they fear they are to be kidnapped. Not advocating violence but if Kyle can get away with it….
Stupid idea Karoline.
“…in the effort of transparency” my foot! More like in the effort of intimidation.
Another person I can't stand to see or listen to. Nazi Barbie. My list keeps growing. It seems they have a common traits, unbridled egotism coupled with narcissistic tendencies
She is so ignorant
Absolutely sickening display of unfettered autocracy
Perhaps the most corrupt and lawless “government” in modern history
It is illegal
Exactly. I detest state propaganda.
Who is going to stop this?
Trump is a rapist. Trump is a fascist oedo fuck
Should be impeachable
Expecting an airhead like Karoline Leavitt to know and understand these definitions is quixotic.
She is evil.
She says all of these lies while wearing a cross around her neck. If only Jesus really could be resurrected…
I watched this in complete horror!!
💔💔💔💔😡😡😡
He got a gift shop re-print in a cheap frame, hung it behind black curtains like something from a crematorium and tried to ambiguously pass it off as real. Presumably it’s behind curtains so it doesn’t have to look at him and its cries for help can’t be heard.
Nice thought but he can’t read…
To Serve Man "It's a Cook Book!"
How do we get rid of him?
FUCK DONALD TRUMP!
This guy is so fucking stupid

Not surprised at all!
I really wish he was out there rallying like Bernie & AOC & Walz, etc. We need his voice of reason, his energy, his experience... I think he could draw huge crowds.
I’m ok with that. Pendulum swing. We deserve it!
Do you suppose Trump is trying to take control of the SEC so it will be harder to determine who in his circle purchased 10x leveraged inverse ETF S&P 500 or similar securities last week with insider information?
Go PM Carney. Trump, the Chump, is trash, and he has managed to trash the entire country of America in less than 200 days. Take up the mantle of world leadership Canada, you've earned it.
