Bill Maher is the perfect MAGA rube. He’ll still show up at the White House drunk and tell us we’re being mean to Donny, even after Trump’s 1,300-word tirade.

Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. “The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

It should be clear to everyone right now, that any GOP candidate running for elected office that has not condemned Trump for siding with Putin, none of them should be elected. If you have neighbors with political signs supporting any GOP candidate that did not condemn Trump, they want you dead.

While the Trump administration is trying to prevent skilled foreign workers in IT and Accounting from obtaining H1B visas and green cards to work in the US, the end result is corporations are ramping up outsourcing to India, et al, and firing skilled American workers in the US as a result. WTAF!

Revisiting Eric Holder’s “too big to jail” rationale for refusing to criminally indict the bankers involved in the financial collapse of 2009 reveals the underlying confidence of the oligarchs pulling strings in the Trump administration. They can afford any civil judgment brought against them.

For decades, the town of Naples, New York has its annual Grape Fest, and it draws many vendors and visitors. This year was notable because there were no vendors hawking Trump schlock, there was one vendor selling a vile poster of governor Hochul as a witch, with the caption “Ditch the Witch”. WTF?!

It seems every day there is a turning point in the USA, but today this one makes it very clear. Violence will be necessary to stop the fascists in the White House.

i think you can fairly say that the second trump administration is the most racist federal administration since woodrow wilson and honestly i'm not sure that it isn't more racist than wilson's

Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades

Yesterday, Geneseo, NY celebrated their local cats with the third annual Cat Walk. Well over 100 locals and university students participated. A great time was had by all.

Hello, GOP. Have you figured out yet that Trump is actually attacking you now? Have you figured out that he’s blaming you for the failure that will happen in November? Have you figured out that it’s time for you to impeach him?

Putin’s useful idiot, Trump, just called on Zelenskyy to stop hitting fuel targets in Russia. No mention of him telling Putin to stop the aggression against Ukraine. Any stupid shit that keeps saying Trump is not Putin’s asset is in complete denial at this point. Arrest and hang this piece of shit.

I wish the Canadians would just let some of us become citizens without all the hoops we have to jump through. I’m ready to join the Canadian military.

I’d like to take this moment to speak for everyone who lives in state that borders Canada, that whatever Trump and his MAGA cult say, we value Canadians more than these Putin owned terrorists.

When people within the Democratic Party try to explain how difficult it is to transform our healthcare system into something far more humane than just an incremental approach, like the ACA, I realize their energy is not in being bold and decisive, but being measured and nuanced. And they’re losing.

I’m waiting for people to wake up from thinking that they can’t commit violence against someone who is planning to commit violence against them. It’s not preemptive. It’s self-defense.

The most disappointing thing about Andy Ogle’s losing is the fact that even one vote was cast for him. Just how fucked up are these people?

Today, the stupidest fucking people on this planet are pandering to the same in a Senate hearing that will do nothing but prove that we live in the worst of times.

People have been making witty and sarcastic remarks about Republicans, but they should also be arming themselves with guns and preparing for Trump’s inevitable call to arms to his MAGA cult of psychotic Christian warriors to attack the test of us. I’m not being an alarmist, just paying attention.

Maybe it’s just me, but whenever I see a post with somebody looking into the camera and talking, I’m immediately turned off, even if the content interests me.

Should Trump use the publicly funded airwaves to re-litigate the 2020 election again, tonight, we will be dangerously closer to a shooting civil war. Republicans that don’t want to lose in the midterms better be ready to start impeachment tomorrow. Either way, the consequences for them will be dire.

One revolting enabler down, many more to go. Trump wants his cult to kill the rest of us on or before the mid term elections and we should never lose sight of this.

My long-held frustration with the Democratic Party shades my view of how they will resolve the issue with Platner. I don’t think he was being “audacious” for wanting a replacement candidate that embodies his message but it would be a serious injustice to ignore those that voted for him.

I don’t know when the realization hit me that some people are irredeemably bad and relish that role in politics. So many politicians in the GOP are now emboldened to act out their sociopathy, untethered to any sense of decency or normalcy. They gaslight and project as easily as they breathe.

There aren’t enough words of contempt I have for those that believe the 14th amendment was narrowly applied to freed slaves yet reject the limitations of the second amendment’s paragraph - to “keep and bear arms” - to musket rifles and canons.

The reaction of some influential Democrats to the rise of progressive politicians is priceless. These people are claiming that Mamdani is helping destroy the Democratic party without a hint of irony. These “progressives” are New Deal Democrats that support working people and reject corporate control

Democrats better recalibrate their thinking about how to win elections because it’s working people that hold the key, not the party elite. Zohran Mamdani, John Ossoff, and James Talarico are leading the way on that front. They are not corporate owned.

I should stop being shocked by the number of obese people I see in this country. Every day I go to the grocery store, more people than not are grotesquely overweight. I’m somewhat overweight, but not seriously burdened by its effects, like Trump. It’s an epidemic.

It’s just another day of me expressing my extreme disgust with a Republican Party that has allowed a stupid piece of shit to ruin everything.

There are no small political victories or anything to celebrate right now as long as Trump is president. I’m not getting a sense on Bluesky that people fully understand how dangerous the situation is for everybody. Nothing short of his forcible removal from Office is a “win” right now.

I have this to say about the death of Barney Frank. At the end of the day, it didn’t matter what kind of financial reforms he helped put in place, because they underestimated the willful ignorance, unrepentant greed, and blind stupidity of those that voted to undermine all of it.

There’s no doubt the power mad liars within the Christian nationalist movement are jealous of the success of their Muslim counterparts and have laughably made banishment of Sharia Law the centerpiece of their goal to establish the USA as a Christian nation. They are, on all accounts, traitors.

I live in a small college town in Western New York. Most of the non-college population is white, has a high poverty rate, and votes Republican. On our daily walk, we pass by a dilapidated house of a young, white, down-and-out drug dealer. He flies a Trump flag in front of his junk strewn house.
