The psychotic mix of kakistocracy, kleptocracy, and autocracy all mixed together with a large helping of Project 2025 nonsense sprinkled with heaps of antivax and anti-science insanity will test our patience over the next 4 years #fafo

Trump: “I understand Artists are getting ‘the yips’ having to do with their performance on Wednesday, so I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, DONALD J. TRUMP”

Not enough people are talking about this. A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

RFK Jr: "President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction."

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. #NoKings

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry.

"What did you do today at work, babe?" asks the trooper's wife. "Well, hon, I stood outside the women's room telling ladies to prove to me they were born with vaginas before I let them pee." Not all fetishes are fascist, but all fascism is fetishistic. www.texastribune.org/2025/12/12/t...
