MAGA Dies With Trump: The One Thing Pundits Refuse to Admit www.jackhopkinsnow.com/p/maga-dies-...
“But as I’ve always said, life is first come, first served.” That’s from HIS OWN social media post. Scumbag.
My working theory is we're all dead, and this is not the good place.
I can diagnose adults with "toxic stupidity" and I don't have to be in the same room to do it.
Oh my gosh, me, too! I just posted that. 😂
In college I sang it as "Lech Walesa coming in a hurry with the Furies ..."
The sick are expendables, they add nothing to the fascist regime’s eugenics program… following goose step by goose step in Hitlers boots
I wish police could/would turn this upside down. Arrest ICE for harassing a man sitting on a bench.
No random Capitalized words. Cannot be the REAL real.
Hopes and prayers that you find answers to those "considerable questions," senator.
Good job on the appetizers. Appreciate it.
Thanks! Ordering some now.
I can
None of it makes sense.
Freak out about President Vance and Peter Thiel's money.
USA here. Please send guidebook to electing the dead.
Wait, we can afford mulch?
Once you've exhausted the NYT, head over to JetPunk. It's filled with fun quizzes on geography, music, sports ball and other stuff. Found it during the pandemic, memorized countries of the word and then capitals and now I'm into making quizzes myself. 😀
Thanks for the warning.
THIS IS NO WAY TO RUN A COUNTRY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
That's the plan.
Maybe carry that hope in our back pockets as we march onto the floors of Congress and demand sensible gun laws.
Every school shooting destroys part of my soul, but after nine years of Catholic school, this is devastating. I can see them, swinging little legs that don't reach the floor, trying hard to remember when to stand, kneel, respond. Innocent children. No one in that church will ever be the same.

Good catch. Thank you for reading!
That's me and my friends, too. We're doing what we can ... making phone calls, going to protests, helping the people in our community who need us ... but it's hard to keep going because it feels like tacking a forest fire with a squirt gun.
Yep. This book explains how we got here. I give it five stars.
Agree with you, but I'm not sure we are going to have midterms. His administration is moving so fast and breaking so many things, I expect martial law or some such reason will be found to cancel them. I have a teensy bit of hope left that the justice system will rally.
Seriously 💥 🙄
DW is pretty good. I'll look for NHK and France 24 -- agree that the foreign press is carrying the load! PBS is trying hard, harder than the big three networks for sure.
It kills me inside. I had to stop watching the tv news, and I've been a rabid consumer of it for decades. BlueSky is a haven.
My fear, too. We are losing so much every day, I'm pessimistic about a midterm election being held.
They know how. So many of them are talented, trained professionals. I have to believe it's company owners calling the shots.
Wild that he says that stuff out loud. Must infuriate his handlers!
Where is the line? I know we all have to do our part, and I know there is not one action that will save us. But shouldn't we have a plan by now? Does anyone have a strategic plan?
I don't like this.
"The 65-turbine project had obtained all necessary permits from the Biden administration, and nearly 70 percent of the turbines have been installed. The developers behind the project had said it was on track to produce enough electricity for more than 350,000 homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut."
National guard activation expected in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wyoming , according to Fox.
"Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin then accused the town of “reckless reliance” on the department's E-Verify program." What the absolute hell is recklessly relying on the government's own system for verifying eligibility?
Why does the GOP have the authority to detain her? Legit do not understand why there are men in that room who won't let her leave. Who is in charge?
How does the GOP have the authority to hold her there?
Cannot understand how the GOP has the authority to hold her there. Going slowly mad trying to find answers online.
And smart (speaks three languages) and more successful in TV than Trump (he killed it playing the Ukrainian president in Servant of the People, which was produced by a company he co-founded). Oh, and he legitimately won election by a landslide. 🧡
Call the fire marshal if the police won't do anything.
Right! Everyone can do something. No one should do nothing. And complaining on Reddit that civil war is the answer is worse than doing nothing. Don't be that guy.
Me, too.
Let's be sure we are telling ALL our governors and elected officials what we want. Protests, sit-ins, billboards, postcards, phone calls, sit-down conversations, etc. We're the voters, and they work for us. Do something. Rest. Do something again.
Nope. Simply housing the unhoused is cheaper than leaving them on the streets where they fall ill and end up in emergency rooms.
You are absolutely correct. Just in case anyone thinks it's hyperbole: www.sentencingproject.org/research/?ga...
Here is the book to read if you want to dig into this issue: www.amazon.com/American-Pri...
Let's make sure they know there are lots of blue voters in this state, too, and that they work for us, not for the White House.
Scary to me that they are so interested in Indiana with our one possible seat to un-gerrymander. One. And it's worth the trouble.
Hope you're all having a great weekend! If you're running errands, why not support some of the diversity of East Central Indiana? It's delicious!
Cue that scary sound effect from every Netflix mystery story.
Director of People and Culture. Oh, wait. That's now.
Hillary would never have made it through the primaries with that kind of record.
How I would love to throw a week-old meatball and sauerkraut sandwich at one of those guys!
I've been trying to explain to Redditors all the things we can do that don't involve civil war. I mention that here just as an example of something that doesn't work. Sigh.
Sample size was 86 white men in North Dakota. Just so ya'll know who to avoid.
He needs approval? Nah, he'll just keep dicktatoring.
Oh, hey, I see you're black, pull over. God, I hate these guys.
This is awful. I never knew there were so many terrible ideas before this administration. 😭
Americans love migrants. Should be fine.
Wow. Way inappropriate. Gross.
Playing an online game and changed my name to promote the song. ♥️
What are you reading? Here's mine:
LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member. RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.

Genuinely cannot understand why they hate science. What's behind it?
We have always been at war with Oceana.
Hey, God, are you out of lightning bolts?
ICE is arresting thousands of people in random locations—what it calls “non-specific” or “general” areas—who had no prior contact with law enforcement: the telltale sign of illegal profiling www.cato.org/blog/1/5-ice...
Gosh, they sure love children.
Here's a game plan! Join me, Hoosiers? @muncieresists.bsky.social www.jackhopkinsnow.com/i/170194483/...
VP Vance is coming to Indiana Thursday to talk to our terrible governor about redistricting here. Indiana Gov. Mike Braun: 317-232-4567
Yes, we have to fight the game we're in.
That's a good question. I think they might be too busy counting their stacks of money to help right now.
Someone I follow -- I think it might be this guy @trygveolson.bsky.social -- said we have to play the game we're in, not the game we wish we were in. Been thinking about it for days.
Yeah, I bet there are loads of trained journalists who want to go after the big stories right now. The corporate overlords won't allow it. 💔
Even if a journalist asks that question, it won't matter. The right just needs a sound bite, and that's easy to get. We need to find a way to beat them at the game they are playing because they aren't going to revert to the game of norms.
I hear people all around me saying, “They are going to crash the economy. Surely they don’t mean to crash the economy.” I beg to differ. This is curated failure open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
I'm more worried about the heinous acts that can never be rectified. The people imprisoned, kidnapped, deported, evicted, tortured, killed. The careers crushed, homes lost, futures delayed. We won't be able to save everybody, and that's eating away at my soul.
And here we go. The plan seems to be to go full 𝕾𝖈𝖍𝖚𝖙𝖟𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖋𝖋𝖊𝖑, to turn the nation into a military police state. They’re telling each other to be careful what they write down, but they’ve already written down too much. 🧵:
TIL undocumented workers pay into social security but don't get the benefits themselves. Retirement is out of reach without it, so 70-year-old men and women are still working in the fields. That's a hard reality. Imagine watching your parents work like that and fear deportation every day. 😭
Has the NYT always been so weak in its political coverage? It's owned by an actual journalist, right? I was excited to get a free subscription, but I'm mostly playing games because the coverage is just not what I want.
I feel this at my very hierarchical job where the pressure we are under and the amount of work we are required to do are not sustainable. No help is coming. It will get worse. Have not been able to pinpoint the real issues until now. Will be back to finish reading tomorrow!
The Scots killed it. Better ideas than our so-called leaders.
You know, I'm beginning to think the church's "men are the leaders" stance might actually be what's attracting these vermin.
Agreed! No one is leading. They need to stand aside and let someone with bigger ideas than "sending a strongly worded letter" take charge.
Well, luckily the courts will ... oh, ha ha. Never mind. 😭
Thanks for this. Just ordered it from Thriftbooks. They have six copies left!
I've been thinking a lot about this. Have you read On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder? I got some ideas from him for actions that fit my abilities.
He puts out so much content, and it's always spot on. We just love him!
And the journalists. Why aren't they out there asking questions?
I don't know what any of those words mean, but good job! This looks hard to make even for someone who knows how to bork a textured boolean.
Let's think what Germany did ...
Coordinates for bread?
on the shoals of grim economic conditions and a growing sense of isolation, loneliness and despair. A rift was forming, one that only grew wider as the years wore on."
