Donald Trump is scared out of his mind that Republicans are going to lose the House in the midterms, if not sooner given how fast things are unraveling, which is why he’s accelerating his authoritarian and fascist plans at a pace we’ve never seen before. This isn’t confidence, it’s panic.

Cooooop

The 2025 Philadelphia Eagles are a poorly coached team.

There's just nothing easy, no schemes to get guys open. Just brutal. And we know it's not the players bc we know they're good, they have track records

This was the sports week from hell.

That fucking bunt

Coooooooooooooop #dejean

McMorrow: What Trump has done is weaponize us against each other, when everybody needs hospitals, good schools, and health care. It has become this battle for scarcity, when we’re the wealthiest country in the world. We should not be fighting each other for our basic needs.

Musk v Cheeto

I think the right has finally come up with their buzz word for racism. “Social solidarity”

We’ve come to that time. It’s Super Bowl Sunday. Two weeks to wait for a game and two years to wait for revenge for many on the team. Saquon is our X factor! Our defense will not be stopped or slowed by a garbage field! Go and win this one for Philly Go Birds! #flyeaglesfly #birdgang Say it back

What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

Holy crap. This is a heavily armed fox in a henhouse kinda thing. Read this guy's wikipedia page. Scroll down to "contact with far-right groups". This is the guy he wants to be in charge of anti-terrorism. Who do you think he thinks are terrorists? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Kent

Joe Kent, the guy Trump is nominating to lead his counterterrorism division, employed Proud Boys and Patriot Front members, met with Nick Fuentes and sat down with a neo-Nazi YouTuber for an interview.

slate.com/news-and-pol... Now there’s a ham-fisted goon in an ill-fitting valet attendant’s coat rummaging in broad daylight through all of the keys—all of that private information, previously given in trust, handled with care, and regulated by law.

Yes totally cool that a 19-year-old who called his deleted LinkedIn "Big Balls," where he lists his experience working as a camp counselor can access the entire US federal payment system without anyone looking into his background, for instance, his Russian national close relatives or anything else

“This isn’t trolling.”

I get that this is all “wag the dog” and they are probably planning something much worse but has anyone in the administration even bothered explaining why a trade war against the friendliest nation on earth is necessary and/or going to improve our lives in any small way?

In the Musk administration, DEI means: “is it white and Christian enough?”

The NFL is keeping its teams away from Bluesky until it pumps sufficient green into the NFL's pockets. www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootb...

The mad king ordered water to be released from some random dam in central California. There is virtually no way for that water to get to LA and completely fucks up the central California water supply.

This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.

Musk & DOGE trying to gain access to the Government system that paid out 5.4 Trillion dollars to U.S Citizens not being a bigger story is media negligence. Doge isn't even an official government program. This is a huge scandal.

Everyone in the administration is blaming DEI for this crash. While DEI is often poorly implemented, removing it doesn’t create meritocracy—just a system where privilege still dominates. It is a comforting myth that justifies inequality, letting those at the top claim success is earned.

The Potomac VFR is insanely busy with Army helicopters, Park Police, other associated agency helicopters, and DC Police helicopters. Seen here, a US Army UH-60 flying at low altitude up the Washington Channel, just adjacent to DCA.

Pilots in the r/flying community are saying similar things. One regional jet pilot: “This would be the very FIRST place I would expect this to happen”

It is time… Gameday… NFC Championship Game… Go Birds!

The scary part isn’t that Elon Musk threw up two Nazi salutes on live TV—it’s that maga is on board with all of it.

The new president swore to uphold the Constitution, and within minutes, he began to undermine it. Declaring a national emergency at the southern border is an abuse of emergency powers. 1/2

Many people are saying Trump never officially became president because he didn’t place his hand on the Bible during the oath. They claim it’s part of a plot by global elites to bypass the Constitution and install him as a puppet leader for their secret agenda. www.themirror.com/news/us-news...

Now that I have my bearings about me, the end of this game was eerily similar to the end of the Falcons division game in 2017. Great omen.

It is time! Gameday. #birdgang #flyeaglesfly

Why is it that elites are held to a standard of perfection at all times, and populists are held to no standard at all?

@jvl.bsky.social with the perfect quote: "That’s the dual hermeneutic the populists use for evaluating the world. If you’re an expert who got one thing wrong, it damns you. If you’re a total lunatic crank who gets one thing right, it makes makes you bulletproof."

Nothing that a sharpie can’t fix.

NEW: Mark Cuban is ready to fund a TikTok alternative built on Bluesky’s AT Protocol Yes, thank you!! @mcuban.bsky.social techcrunch.com/2025/01/16/m...

They obeyed in advance…AGAIN! The Washington Post killed off its "Democracy Dies In Darkness" slogan. New slogan: “Riveting Storytelling for All of America.”

The NFL really lets playoff coaches juggle job interviews mid-playoffs? Kellen Moore has 3 this week! Instead of focusing on the big game this week, he’s prepping for interviews. Start interviews after the Super Bowl. This system is a joke. It sucks. #flyeaglesfly #birdgang

I am no longer on the bird app and can find fewer and fewer reasons to stay attached to the cesspool that is meta.

Let's Gooo! techcrunch.com/2025/01/15/b...

The MAGA culture war is pushing a law targeting trans athletes in women’s sports under the guise of protecting women, while opposing measures like the Violence Against Women Act and cheering Dobbs decision. This law affects just 10 athletes, solving a problem that doesn’t exist and harming people.

I'm sorry but the Dems are ridiculously bad at their Hegspeth questions. IMO, if you want to prove someone is incompetent, you ask them the hardest strategic questions they will have to know to succeed at the job
