I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :)
Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage."

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.
The Democratic Party establishment will burn down the party and switch to the GOP before they ever let these two women get near leadership. Sad but true.
I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road.
NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B.

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can
Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution.
Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding.
We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns.
Or perish.
Just a reminder that when the guy Der Furor is now calling a "dictator" entered Notre Dame during its grand re-opening, all the leaders of Europe applauded
When Der Furor entered the cathedral he got a lot
of side-eye and snickers & whispers behind his back
When Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy entered Notre Dame, all those assembled stood and applauded him
When 47 arrived, no one applauded and only those in the front row stood to greet him
JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland.
Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies.

Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."
Elon Musk: "If we don't solve the deficit, there won't be money for medical care, there won't be money for social security ... it's gotta be solved or there's no medical care, there's no social security, there's no nothing. It's gotta be solved. It's not optional ... that's why I'm here."
"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about ‘credible death threats’ when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary."
Bingo. I keep telling people I know that there’s no grand plan here, or to anything he does. He’s not playing 4D chess. He’s a fascistic sociopath that seeks adoration and applause for everything he does, and he wants to be the focus of EVERYTHING.
It’s that simple, folks, don’t overthink it.
Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board.
Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

If I had known that my both-siding and obsessive focus on “cancel culture” would lead to the massacre of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian civilians, I might’ve done things differently. No, who am I kidding, I would’ve done things exactly the same.
It’s no longer the House budget. It’s the Trump budget, now that Trump has endorsed it, and since the Administration hasn’t submitted its own budget. So we should call the House budget the Trump budget. And we can talk about Trump’s cuts to important programs and Trump’s broken campaign promises.
I think it's hilarious they're still talking about the "warrior ethos," which was in vogue back when I was in the army during the George W. Bush era and which everyone understood to be something only dork-ass 20-something officers took seriously
The U.S. Department of Defense loves getting its budget massively slashed by a guy who openly hates the military and American strategic goals, it’s its favorite thing

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen.
1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.
They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.
President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.
Former Vice President Mike Pence denounced Donald Trump over his biggest, most flagrant lie of late — the infuriating claim that Ukraine started the war with Russia.
Pence reappeared to slam Trump’s Putin-inspired lie. Posting the indisputable truth on X, Pence emphasized his…
Donald Trump is a Russian asset; it no longer matters if it’s witting or unwitting. He routinely spreads disinformation that originates in the Kremlin and the FSB, and does it to hurt America and our friends.
If you support Trump, you have—morally speaking—betrayed your country.
When your greatest sycophantic supporter on TV (besides Hannity) is forced to admit that you’ve gone completely off the rails. But this isn’t him talking drivel about Hannibal Lecter & windmills. These words do long term damage to alliances that have stood for decades. bsky.app/profile/atru...
