This “game” on the White House website, a version of Snake where you play as a white man in a suit and you run around picking up identifiably black, Asian, and Latino men and putting them in orange jumpsuits, might be the most openly white supremacist thing I’ve ever seen the US government produce

🤨 ERASING HISTORY‼️ A review by NBC News found that the vast majority of press releases pertaining to Jan. 6 defendants have been removed from the DOJ website as of Friday evening.

This is a supervillain monlogue. I will never understand how anyone can watch this man say things like “a whole civilization will die tonight” and fail to recognize evil when they see it.

Over eight million Americans took to the streets today, which makes No Kings 3 the biggest single day of protest in the history of our country. #NoKings

I understand why some can’t watch the video and absolutely support that choice. But if you can, I think you should. Yes, there have been so many of these over the years; *and* these are escalating times. It’s not more the same, it’s worse, and we need to face that best we can to change it.

Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

This week's "hate speech isn't free speech" calamity has, somehow, reached another new low: The president of the United States suggesting that speech he finds unfair to him is hate speech, and targetable by the Justice Department. We are in deeply dangerous territory.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

JON KARL: What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she's gonna go after hate speech? A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech TRUMP: We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your hate. Maybe they'll have to go after you.

In his pivotal January 3, 1925 speech, Benito Mussolini declared that the paramilitary violence of his supporters was necessary in order to prevent greater disorder.

EARHARDT: We have radicals on the right as well. How do we fix this country? TRUMP: I'll tell you something that's gonna get me in trouble but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

note how Trump on a daily basis is trying to normalize the idea that he's a dictator

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "The line is that I'm a dictator, but I stop crime. So a lot of people say, 'You know, if that's the case, I'd rather have a dictator.'"

Tim Macinta reposted

As always Trump turns subtext into text. He knows his base. (Goes on to say "I'm not a dictator," etc. but this is a classic way he floats ideas he wants to normalize.)

Trump: "A lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator."

My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab. Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us. It’s time to fight back.

This thread starts with a picture of Trump posing sketchily behind copulating parrots and then gets rapidly worse.

ok everyone's seen the trump with epstein photos by now, after years of the media pretending they didn't exist. good progress. next step is making sure everyone who is like "uh this all is sketchy but surely the president isn't literally a pedophile" sees this gross photo

When is somebody going to prison for this? Does the SEC even exist at this point? This keeps happening day after day!

The camp is to filter out workers for Trumps new Slavery policy where he sells them to businesses. He says so in this video Make Americans Slaves Again

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

gelliottmorris.com"No Kings Day" protests turn out millionsOur unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

Let’s be clear about what’s happening here: The President is using the power of his office to enrich himself and his family, offering “meme coins” and other shady crypto ventures to rake in billions in exchange for political favors. But kids shouldn’t have more than five pencils? Seriously?

President Trump is reportedly hosting a dinner for the top holders of the $TRUMP memecoin he profits from, including a private reception and White House tour. This is one of the most blatant and appalling instances of selling access to the presidency we've ever seen.

bloomberg.comTrump to Host Dinner With Top Holders of His MemecoinPresident Donald Trump will have dinner with the top 220 holders of the Trump memecoin, the issuers of the cryptocurrency announced on Wednesday.

They are stealing from you and bragging about it. Historical context: Trump drove down your retirement plan by adding tariffs, had his insiders buy from it at fire sale prices, then drove what they bought back up by pausing tariffs.

Yesterday the Oval Office.

Unusual Whales@unusualwhales.bsky.social

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand. You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.
