QAnon memes were not a small part of what mobilized Trump’s January 6th mob. Ignoring this is a dangerous mistake and we are making it twice.
Pithy is my intention. Laconic is my bent. Jesus is my Savior.

The founders knew Trump. They built in checks on power and enshrined decentralized power. They handed power to the people. The founders made this country to withstand Trump. If he takes full control, it will be because the people gave it to him.
On brand
Waste, fraud , and abuse…projection.
Essentially they are Boy Scouts.
Pete Hegseth in December on military training: “We’re bringing a war-fighting ethos back to the Pentagon. Everything else that distracts from lethality shouldn’t be happening.”
Love seeing you be active in advocating for our country!!!
🚨BREAKING: Arizona Court of Appeals REJECTS right wing challenge to Arizona's signature matching process. Another VICTORY for my law firm's clients and the voters of Arizona. www.democracydocket.com/cases/arizon...
MAGA is trying to make people think it’s like 2016 when a few Trump rivals weakly attempted Trump’s stupid tough guy routine. Some of the contenders timidly attempted being tough or mean, but then immediately gave up. GCN shows no sign of retreat. Nor should he.
My friend went to her first appointment to participate in a mRNA COVID vaccine study and it was cancelled that morning due to the funding being pulled. This was obviously poorly planned. The people who killed Americans in the last plague are back. Good luck.
Addled old man doesn’t know where he is or where he’s going.
Soon to be known as the time Trump announced he’s going to show Zelensky how to give back territory to Russia: First to go- Alaska.
France repo-ing the Statue of Liberty and Trump replacing it with a Golden Calf with disco lights and crypto coin slots.
Wait. Are lawyers not willing to throw themselves on swords for Trump any more? Hope this trend holds.
The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.
It is time to stop using the term, “normie Republicans”. If you’re normal & conservative and still enrolled with the R party lead by sociopaths, you’re nothing but an enabler and sociopathic adjacent. Not normal at all. Or a real Republican.
This is our experience, too!
This is true for our lower middle class family. Immigrants have helped us improve our home, our health, our understanding, our faith, & our view of others. These things are of great value to us & we weren’t charged for any of it, asked for a donation later, or guilted into changing what we think.
My pardon question: When did did we ever need to ask this question in a free constitutional democracy before today?
Happy to overlook your Biden mistake if you stop making the more dangerous mistake of completely over looking the much more pernicious demented foolishness currently happening in the halls of power.
Donald Trump marked Memorial Day with a bitter, grievance-filled screed attacking judges, immigrants, and his political rivals—and did not even mention the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.
I hope there’s a review of every complaint ever filed against him, or even a widely whispered about nefarious incident. I also equally hope everyone who covered up for him, or squashed a credible accusation against this evil person is held to account.
The through line of Trump’s life is going back on his word.
Keep speaking the truth! Thank you!
Either we have democratic republic or we have Donald Trump. Can’t have both. Period.
If only this were merely “arbitrary” and “foolish” decision making. Our protagonist is more Darth Vader than Mad King. Trump’s problem is more of a cross between pernicious ignorance and poisonous amorality.
I'll tell you what I didn't get done last week. I didn't fire every federal employee and/or agency investigating my companies for unethical and illegal conduct. You?
Bomb threat at #PrinciplesFirst Summit. We are not afraid. Enrique Tarrio is a terrorist. We are not afraid.
We are here. We are not leaving. We are not afraid.
Freedom, opportunity, the rule of law, constitutional and competent government, equal justice, accountability, affordability, anti-corruption, truth, and character-driven leadership. Defend them all with us this weekend.
How to politely smack someone. Mountie up!
Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy's letter so everyone is informed about RFK Jr. Please repost far and wide.
Because Trump want to eliminate health warnings, I hope information can be distributed here. We will listen!
And many more!
Wait, did Musk just do a Nazi salute?
He is unqualified. It will show in 3, 2, 1…
You get it! Anyone who advocates for better healthcare for the FFs - who are dying from suicide (lack of mental healthcare) and preventable cancers (lack of access) related to their work will have their ears. Cynicism and lack of administrative advocacy is killing them in many ways.
Thanks doc! Please tell AZ firefighters to get vaccinated. There are too many deniers and they spread flu & COVID among themselves in the fire stations.
Their annual updates on “mums” should be updated to “mumps”. Flowers are nice, but…
What an incredible life well lived. May Jimmy Carter’s legacy inspire many more to make a difference. Grateful for his genuine love & commitment to public service.
Matt: Using one finger, please point to “we”.
Obviously cat meme enthusiasts help. I’m here for the saving American democracy part, too!
Anyone? Do you mean that? Or is this another speech/statement with an opposite action to follow?
Spot-on? Perhaps. Hyperbolic? Perhaps. Apropos? Yes.
“suffer” Never
My husband and I will attend a gathering of actual democracy loving conservatives in DC in Feb. I’m wondering what the atmosphere across the Mall will be like after a few weeks of authoritarian-adjacent power wielding.
Are we all going to ignore the fact that Homan is actually Spike the Bulldog from the Looney Tunes cartoons?
GFW: “Trump’s energy, unleavened by intellect and untethered to principle, serves only his sovereign instinct to pander to those who adore him as much as he does. Unshakably smitten, they are impervious to the Everest of evidence that he disdains them as a basket of gullibles.”
Objectivity is most purely expressed by rocks. And here’s your reminder that, one day, even the rocks will cry out.
I’m in.
It’s like the crowds are no longer clapping for the naked Emperor marches down the street, they’re stripping down and joining in the parade. The clapping needs to stop and the truth needs to be seen.
People of sound character appoint people of sound character. This is an explanation of current appointments, not an observation of current appointments. .
I followed @markhamillofficial.bsky.social with the hope that one day my wit will capture his interest and I will be worthy of his follow back. And then I will talk about it endlessly and pretend I don’t think I’m better than others. But, I will, indeed, think I just might be…
Accurate.
A start: 1. Pay reporters enough to do the work of source interviews, fact check, & travel - when warranted. 2. Never do a news story on a celebrity unless there’s a crime involved, and even then leave out their pro headshot, drone views of their house, & IMBD blurb. 3. No editors under 60.
I haven’t deleted my account there. I monitor former colleagues and friends. I also want to avoid echo chambers. I want eyes wide open so I don’t become what I now condemn.
This is so true that I consider it among the things I know to be true because I know God!
6/ Friends, may we never forget the mundane is holy. Simple things are holy. The taste of a new food is holy. The discovery of something previously unknown is holy. Mere laughter is holy. The fight is endless. Take rest and bolster your spirit as you can and where you can. /ENDS
I’m new. Because many of us came here for bluer skies and less toxicity, maybe we could avoid Kardashian references at all costs. Thanks.
“Ah, sure…” is Mike Johnson’s middle name.
I took him to the Lincoln Memorial. I contemplated the fight to unite a nation. He contemplated the craftsmanship of a door. Our 40 years of marriage explained.
The “Rules for Thee, and Not for Me” folks are unchanged - and in charge.
We already reserved our spot and got the plane ticket and hotel! Last year was so inspiring! See you then!
