2/ He’s used to saying absurd things because he’s always lived in a world where he’s never challenged.

Meta must be destroyed.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Repeat after me: Russia has no legitimate security concerns; only its neighbours do. Russia has been the only one invading others.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

yup.

yes, my desired number of murderous authoritarians is zero, thank you

It seems impossible for our political system to hold the politicians tied to the actual invasion of our Capitol to account, but any random Muslim candidate is reflexively labeled a terrorist.

This is a confession to treason. Elon Musk, a private individual and not an elected official, hijacked U.S. national defence policy to harm partner Ukraine and help enemy Russia. www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...

fucking Mordor type shit

I cannot stress to you enough how there were entire news cycles in 2024, driven entirely by Republicans, about how Democrats were trying to take away your cheeseburgers.

To avoid charges of politicized prosecutions of Trump officials, Dems should also revive the independent counsel act to ensure that officials of any administration are prosecuted not by the DOJ under any President but by an independent prosecutor. www.pilotonline.com/2023/08/24/o...

“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” — United States Constitution, Article II, Section 4

Any Trump threats against Russia are entirely performative for the rubes. He will not do anything to hurt Putin, he wants to be Putin.

"I never wanted to be a politician. But the way that things are going, now is the time where we have to step up. We can't afford to stand by the wayside anymore."

Excited to vote!! 🔥 LOVE to vote against shitty transphobes! LOVE to vote against shitty billionaires! LOVE to vote against shitty people who apparently think we shouldn't be allowed to go to the bathroom, or eat, or be safe in our homes because brown???

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

2 things about this administration 1. Claim credit for good things even if you had nothing to do with them happening. 2. Attach blame to others for the bad things you have caused.

This is the big thing I want to hammer home with my work here: we on the left are not *better* than conspiracy theorists. We are not *above* propaganda. We are not *too smart* to fall for scams. People like AltNPS know how to exploit our fears and manipulate our anxieties, and we need to be alert.

Let’s take the rest away. He’s clearly not responsible enough to handle this much money.

Elon Musk has gotten billion in federal funding for designing a system that will never be built. If only we had had some warning. Oh, wait. newrepublic.com/article/1956...

And all of those profiles also failed to mention that Rahm Emanuel is an entirely unappealing piece of shit. Hey, profile writers, the foul-mouthed thing is getting old. It's actually a stand-in for this guy being a real world class asshole.

@oversightdemocrats.bsky.social @menefee.house.gov Looking forward to seeing this on the agenda in '27!

Conflicts of interest abound. This extraction is draining the Democratic base rather than investing in the party’s long term health, biasing candidate positions in favor of factions with big money, and weakening the party’s stance against corruption. Tough to beat authoritarianism in this situation

They’re floundering because they’re not in control. They’re trying to project power they don’t have. WE DON’T HAVE TO BUY THEIR CLAIMS TO MAGICAL LEGALISM JUST BECAUSE THEY ASSERT THEM.

The clear implication of this is that the U.S. military is also at the mercy of Musk’s whims. He cannot be allowed to keep control over Starlink. He has demonstrated that he can’t be trusted with this power.

Meta is the worst of them. Unfortunately this surveillance-driven ad slop engagement is also the end business model for OpenAI and Anthropic, too. It’s all about delivering your eyeballs to ads and scams.

this, too, is america (extremely complimentary)

So now we are testing weapons against immigrants like they are lab rats. Nothing about this is American. America is better than this. We should be welcoming in people looking for a better life. Not burning them alive.

The story of the Republican party during Obama was the rubes taking over from the patricians who pandered to the rubes

The FCC threatening broadcasters for airing specific political data is a chilling content-based restriction on speech, which federal courts subject to extreme judicial review and the commission would almost certainly lose such cases, according to First Amendment scholars.

He should not be allowed to have any government contracts--he is operating like a rogue state.

And thanks to curious kids, I now know that steering the Titanic *away* from the iceberg probably exposed more of the hull compartments to damage. Simulations show they would have been better off ramming it.

this is just the orchestra getting warmed up. Meta (and other companies) know there is no meaningful accountability for these kinds of fuck ups in a country that's too corrupt to have functional regulators or pass a modern privacy law

Campaign Finance Reform NOW. Overturn Citizens United and Eliminate PACs. We shouldn’t allow CU and PACs to be legal bribes. Limit contributions allowed by campaign and in total by individuals. Only campaigns can fund and run ads.

💯% #corruption

Tax Billionaires out of existence. That’s my most generous offer to them.

You going to credit @marisakabas.bsky.social ? The Guardian followed journalistic ethics, will you? bsky.app/profile/kare...

No mention of @marisakabas.bsky.social discovering his identity. No credit for her investigative work at all.

What if we did all the War Crimes totally out in the open and without shame? Fucking monsters running the Israeli government.

This may be the most outrageous, disgusting, offensive thing Trump has ever said. If not, it is tied for the honor. Russia has been fine on Ukraine. It makes me want to puke.
