I have a similar plan to convert Donald's golf courses into farming communes. Irrigation and living spaces are already there, so it should be easy to implement after the voluntary MAGA exodus.
JD Vance on Donald Trump: “I’m a Never Trump guy. I never liked him. I don’t think he’s the person. I don’t think he cares about folks. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.” { ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social }
Why hasn't every city and state done this already? At least, the non-fascist ones.
The atmosphere is quite humbling. #photography
“Improving our nation through better design” is certainly important work: we know this, because it’s exactly what we were doing when DOGE eliminated 18F entirely.
Next time I get caught, I know which lawyer to hire.
Yes, it's a very generous assumption.
If you need AI to determine if someone is covered, your coverage rules are too complicated. Period.
Happening now outside the Immigration Office in NYC, a silent vigil in support of immigrants being kidnapped by ICE. We cannot say we did not know. Never again can we ask, how did Germany let that happen? Contact your Reps and register your dissent. First they came for the immigrants…
you try to steer clear, your party leadership will be testing you all the time to make sure you are compliant to PARTY wishes, NOT constituent wishes. There is no such this as half-pregnant. There are only 10 members of the House or Senate who do not take AIPAC money. Guess why the number is
Trump pardoned ALL the violent criminals who helped with his first attempted coup. #VoteOutEveryRepublican
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
If the fascism isn't bad enough, how about the school shootings? This is a solvable problem. The people responsible for not solving it are Republicans in Congress and the people who vote for them. #VoteOutEveryRepublican
Good. Maybe some more Republicans are figuring things out.
HUGE FLIP: Democrat Catelin Drey wins deep-red state Senate seat in Iowa, breaking the GOP's supermajority. Drey won by 11 points in a district Donald Trump carried by 11 points last year. It's another massive overperformance. The Iowa GOP should be very worried for the midterms. Our full writeup:
NEWS: Trump installs czar at DHS to oversee U.S. “election integrity” It’s not just gerrymandering, folks. The White House is gearing up to use broader federal powers to shape the 2026 election in its favor.

Friends, today on the podcast, we'll look back at the last 12 years at some highlights of space gaming and its developers. | Stream Links: http://dlvr.it/TMk6n0 | Discord: http://dlvr.it/TMk6n4
I'm stunned 41% support this. They truly live in an alternate reality, or somehow think fascism will be good for them.
Your tax dollars hard at work fighting all that crime in the post-apocalyptic hellscape that DC has become, according to Trump. 🙄
I joined Nicolle Wallace to discuss how Trump’s use of military in D.C. and other blue cities could affect the outcome of the 2026 elections, as well as the FBI’s investigation into John Bolton as a tool of weaponization. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9yj...
Our federal taxes pay for this. I want my money back.
The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...
Maybe Tim is an actual libertarian, and the others were just fascists all along?
Great piece, and thorough. I fear the voters on the right who need to read it never will.
Trump and his MAGA movement have mastered the art of projection, accusing the left of doing what they themselves have done. But now, Trump has taken that to a new level, becoming the manifestation of an oppressive state that the right has always warned against. So why aren't more sounding the alarm?
Veterans are drawing a line in the sand. There is a 24/7 sit in going on in DC by US veterans who are opposed to the occupation of DC by the military. We will all need to act in some way to stop this crazy train before it is too late gofund.me/9ac96960
What's actually wrong with these people? Is there a name for it?
Here is the growing list of countries choosing to pause mail deliveries to the U.S. because of Trump's tariff chaos. Did anyone vote in 2024 to become the new Hermit Kingdom? Austria Australia Denmark France Germany India Italy Japan New Zealand Singapore Spain South Korea Sweden Thailand
Ominous: Trump and Stephen Miller are very clearly working to acclimate Americans to the spectacle of US troops in US cities, to the idea of the military carrying out domestic enforcement on US citizens. Harrowing stuff from @vermontgmg.bsky.social in this exchange: newrepublic.com/article/1995...
Yesterday in the Oval Office Donald Trump said that some people in the US want him to be a dictator. I’m running for Congress to stop that from happening. Please chip in our average donation of $32 to help me get there: Katforillinois.com/donate
“We Must Defeat Fascism”: Chicago Alderman on Trump’s Threat to Deploy Troops to City
A number of protests against President Donald Trump are set to take place across the country on Labor Day.
Happening Now!! New York City: a large rally formed to demand a bill to redraw the state’s congressional maps — a direct response to the gerrymandering in Texas
Looking forward to recording some cool game soundtrack stuff with this beaaaauuuuty of an instrument this week 😍 It's an 80s Japanese koto synth originally designed to soundtrack poetry readings It's got a bunch of other voices too and it is such a little joy box
Moore is right about most of this. But it's not a distraction. He stops short of saying this is a fascist takeover meant to render elections meaningless and permanently entrench Republican rule. #VoteOutEveryRepublican
Outside the Baltimore immigration office, Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s attorney told the crowd that ICE had taken him into custody.
Over a quarter of all homes sold in the first three months of 2025 were bought by real estate investors. If we want to make housing affordable again, we must get Wall Street out of our homes. https://youtu.be/q9TOGxDJ0TE?feature=shared
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, deploying military in US cities is NOT a distraction. It's the whole enchilada. It moves Trump closer to martial law and rigging the next election. Please tell us you understand this.
They made you obsolete. I'll pour one out for you tonight.
Hell yes! Undo everything the fascists do!
There are still good, kind, decent people in the world You just need to know where to look www.newsweek.com/florida-loca...
All of this makes Watergate look like a charming little gaffe. We are never going to untangle all of this bullshit.
I got two already. There's no mention of Texas, so these mailers are from LIARS.
Looks like the Republicans are working overtime to deceive Californian voters. If you happen to see these papers, please do yourselves a favor by getting rid of them. Always be vigilant for any GOP shenanigans because they will always try to lie, cheat, and steal their way to power.
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
UPDATE: Fox News reports that ICE told Kilmar Abrego Garcia they are going to deport him to Uganda on Monday.
Finally!!! Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia has been released from TN custody and is on his way to reunite with his family in Maryland.
They're starting with Bolton because he's a former Trumpy and it won't scare the left so much. But there's definitely a plan to work their way up to the Clintons and Obamas. Give it time.
Infantino does a good Tim Cook impression.
Two men in suits blatantly lying. I wonder how many FoxNews viewers understand this.
John Bolton wasn't nearly fascist enough, apparently. It's going to get a lot worse. #voteOutEveryRepublican

“Do you really want government officials getting involved in cultural institutions, determining the content?” @GillianHTurner out here making actual sense on Fox News — better hope the whitewasher-in-chief wasn’t watching 😬
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"
🚨 CALL TO ACTION 🚨 🧵 Texas Senator Eckhardts is preparing to filibuster. In Texas, you can only talk about the subject at hand. She needs material to speak about. Please write an email with your thoughts on redistricting to her. Say how it affects you, the vote in general and/or our very democracy!
100% this. This is the message Americans need to understand. #VoteOutEveryRepublican
Ossoff: "Democrats need to strike back. We have no time or luxury for high-minded hesitation, because Trump and MAGA are going to do everything within their power to hold on and to lock in one party rule in America. That's the reality that we face."
Democrats cannot defeat authoritarian fascism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people. We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before.
Glad she's suing. Everyone involved should be expelled from the Texas House.

Don't let these assholes get away with calling themselves "conservatives." They are fascists, and that's all they will ever be.
Watch this @Tesla #FSD v13.2.9 swerve into the oncoming lane while turning left, forcing the driver to take over: "Dangerous if another vehicle had been coming!" @ElonMusk your defective software is dangerous and should be banned immediately.
For starters: remove all fascists from offices on Day 1, impeach all who broke oaths to the Constitution, prosecute Trump Admin lawbreakers quickly and fiercely (no more waiting 4 years), federal law against gerrymandering, enforceable ethics code for Congress and SCOTUS.

Honestly can't believe I never made the Cruella connection before. Will never be able to see anything else now.
If Democratic politicians do not fight this because it's a "distraction," it will simply happen. They need to get in front of every mic and say that we will not allow Trump to destroy American history. He wants a culture war? GIVE HIM ONE. There are no distractions. Have every fight.
BREAKING: Trump’s masked D.C. officers tase delivery man
J.D. Scholten ENDORSES Josh Turek
Can't talk about cheating on elections without talking about Trump's conviction for cheating in 2016. Right, @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy? Or what about that attempted coup after the 2020 election?
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
So Landry is a *%#@ fascist too. That's too bad.

Supreme Court caselaw suggests that this is almost certainly illegal.
Reminder that Trump unleashing federal troops across D.C. isn't meant to address any actual concerns about crime. It's a show of force. It’s important to see this and L.A. as trial runs for a possible military occupation elsewhere in the United States.
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.”
"All the climate science, and all of the other priorities that the last administration had at NASA, we’re going to move aside."
Yep. As I try to argue in this pod chat, Trump's military occupation of DC and LA, his threat to end vote-by-mail via executive order, and the corrupt Texas gerrymandering scheme are part of the same big story.
and these enforcers will be used to seize polling machines and shut down specific polling locations. Serious question: should we pay federal tax this year?
By the time we get to Nov. 2026, Trump will have federal agents and the national guard in many, if not most, blue cities.

Sounds like wrongful imprisonment. Texas Dems should sue the bejeezus out of everyone involved starting with Speaker Burrows. Speaker Burrows and members of Texas govt involved should lose their seats permanently. #VoteOutEveryRepublican
Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.
ICE just posted this video taking down the sign in Mount Pleasant on Twitter.
The Teamsters leadership's failure to recognize obvious fascism is the real problem here. Dem support for unions has been lackluster for decades but all the while better than that of the trickle-down party.
This was always coming, even if Putin never suggested it. They will try every imaginable trick to achieve permanent Republican rule. Resist every action. #VoteOutEveryRepublican
I'm going out on a limb and guessing they patrol where the minorities and immigrants are.

She runs a large anti-ICE TikTok account—now agents caught on livestream targeting her in violent arrest. Agents drag her out of Tesla & throw her on ground where she lay unresponsive—then rushed by ambulance to hospital. She is well-known to ICE as community activist who films raids Los Angeles.

Donald Trump: “How do I know the 2020 election was rigged and that I really won it? Because Vladimir Putin said it was rigged, that’s how.” Every day, the entire world - friend & foe - laughs at us for electing such a very stupid person. Every single day. They all laugh at us.👇
