Citizen Steve

Something just clicked for me: as soon as the bunker (ballroom) is complete, he's launching nukes. I generally avoid predictions but I'm making this one.

Embarrassed that it took me this long to pay up. I've been relying on Aaron since 2020. Anyone who doesn't follow him literally cannot understand who Trump is. Posting to encourage anyone else who's been putting off becoming a paid subscriber.

i don’t know how to make it any plainer that the vast majority of dem voters believe holding people accountable IS part of “getting back to work”

I'm mostly a "socialize healthcare and housing" guy, but I'd also be pleased to see this kind of focus on strategy going forward.

Wait. They all shake hands at the end? What are we even doing here? He's the US President suing you for $20 billion for reporting on the birthday card he sent his friend the pedophile in which he drew a naked girl & mused about secrets. And they all shake hands?

THIS. We’ve come to learn that many of these powerful men are hypersensitive babies. Going after their egos likes this should become common.

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

Who the fuck keeps a diary? And who the fuck then shows it to @ronanfarrow.bsky.social ? God these tech guys are such dorks.

This is my rep, Chuy. I'm in his district. And in this clip, he absolutely represents me.

this is correct and it's why my brain has been breaking for a year

this alone is worth an impeachment tbh

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

I just want some of these fucking people to face real consequences

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

X’s new “About this account” tool reveals that dozens of pro-Russian and MAGA accounts with tens of thousands of followers, long posing as American or Russian, are actually created and run from India, Bangladesh, and other South Asian countries.

@governor.ca.gov @govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov Something to consider: Chicago City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin announced that the city’s $10 billion portfolio her office controls will no longer invest in U.S. Treasury bonds to protest what she calls the “authoritarian regime” shorturl.fm/eUSNG

Mayor Andre Dickens of Atlanta aims to keep vulnerable households stable and ensure no one is left without basic needs during the GOP/Trump shutdown . His #CupOfJoe is a lifeline. 🎩 essenceofblackculture (IG)

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people: Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

Dave Norton General Strike US @generalstrikeus.bsky.social

Trump to generals: "America is under invasion from within. We're under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in any ways because they don't wear uniforms. At least when they're wearing a uniform you can take them out."

Gallego: "The president is an idiot. He doesn't actually understand how the military works."

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

WATCH: @katmabu.bsky.social blows Jennings’ mind by saying “everyone deserves health care” Reminder: this is how it is in every other developed nation, where the cruelty of the Republican Party has not killed universal health care on behalf of the insurance companies. #MedicareForAll

Imagine if Mark Zuckerberg donated IG and Facebook to PBS. Just gave them over to a team of experts in public-serving media.

ILLINOIS… Gov. Pritzker…

Hey there's a thought for approximately nobody: If I was a publisher I'd print an edition "The Magic Mountain: Oops! All Settembrini" and it would just be dense philosophical tirades and sociological debate.

The optics are not good for Trump. Judge Dugan, 65, is the new poster child for the fight against fascism.

the strongest case for socializing the ownership of capital is that the current owners of capital are idiots

He. Is. Not. Going. To. Resign. Dems need to think What Would MAGA Do and then do it. They try every idea. They don't play checkers. They just start slapping people across the table.

Chants of TAX THE RICH! From today’s Indivisible empty chair town hall for Darrell Issa - who just so happens to be the richest person in Congress. @velshi.bsky.social @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @maddow.msnbc.com @indivisible.org

Hey can we start doing this any time any of us gather anywhere? Can we start right now?

Trump calling for the impeachment of a judge who ruled against him. Calling him “crooked.” If this isn’t fascistic, what is? (Also, the media will sanewash this but anyone else who talks or writes like this would be sent to one of the mental asylums Trump thinks migrants are coming from!)

This does add texture to the situation. I'm trying to read with compassion. I don't know what it's like to receive death threats. However, the cynic in me wonders if this isn't just a story so Republicans can support Trump now, and later said they had been compelled by violence.

I told my employer (to his face) he is less mature than my 2nd grade students. I felt safe doing this because my union has my back. #unionstrong #education #educationpolicy #Chicago #chicagoschools

I do think a major weakness in democratic comms is a reliance on cute rhetorical tricks that are supposed to be clever instead of just directly saying what you mean

Politics is wrestling now. Can Elon be tricked into turning face? The ultimate "own" would be to "own" the ones purporting to do the "owning." He should suddenly implement the most sweeping green corporate policies ever seen. It'd be like Austin stunning McMahon or something. Let's tell him that.
