Straight from the fascist playbook, start with a recession/depression. If you don’t have a real one when you take office, lie and say that you do and then crash the economy to create a depression.

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

@altmadison.bsky.social Martinis are disgusting, don’t do it!!

Greetings! A large immigration operation and subsequent protest in Paramount, CA has led to a large amount of gas and “less lethal” munitions. Situation ongoing. Will update as I can.

He is completely clueless about what he is doing.

Reposting by request the exchange from Trump's ABC interview about Abrego Garcia's tattoos here on Bluesky 👇👇👇 TRUMP: He had MS-13 on his knuckles, tattooed! MORAN: That was photoshopped TRUMP: Terry, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. I picked you. But you're not being very nice.

Forever reject the trope that Dems lost because we were too “woke.” Trumpers voted for an incompetent, treasonous con man because THEY were too hateful.

New things the Trump administration will be banning: The Trans-Siberian Orchestra Transcendental meditation Transcontinental railroads Transatlantic flights Transmissions Transformers Transfusions Transducers Transplants Transistors For some reason, transmissible diseases are being encouraged.

This is a huge moment, like Munich in 1938. Zelenskyy made a decision that the USA was lost to Ukraine as an ally and showed the rest of the world that he will stand up to bullys and fascism.

Literally removing roadblocks so that the military decisions they make aren’t questioned by a legal expert.

I do not WANT to be partners with Russia, with Putin. I want to be partners with the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada. Nations I trust, nations I respect.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

Bookmark this, he’ll be on Fox News by the end of the week, Trump will give him a full pardon and call him a hero.

#2 should be automatic

Also, I’m just now realizing, when Trump said he sent the military in to turn on the water, he heard “Army Corps of Engineers” and thought they sent in the 1st Armored Division? 😆😆

Kiah was set to join our faculty at Howard Law School in the Fall. She was a dedicated, brilliant civil rights lawyer poised to make a powerful difference in our world. Our hearts are broken & we pray for her family & friends. www.kwch.com/2025/01/30/c...

Hilary’s emails were mostly theoretical. The case against Hunter thin at best? And then the tie to Pres. Biden even more flimsy? We have clear video evidence of these crimes on J6 but we’re being told that they were unfairly prosecuted? “reject the evidence of your ears and eyes”

A Food and Drug Administration project to promote diversity in clinical studies of cancer treatments was removed from the agency's website, as the Trump administration halts DEI initiatives.

Coming soon, religious tests for disaster relief.

Elon’s progression…

I’m not in TikTok anymore, can anyone tell me how the sliced cheese lady feels about how the first week is going?

Apparently he’s full speed ahead on alienating allies. “In private discussions, the adjective that was most frequently used to describe the Trump phone call was rough. The verb most frequently used was threaten.” www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

What is socialism, if not the state owning the memes of production

I’m trying, and I hope other people will try, to hold onto the simple notion that a US president cannot simply declare a federal law that was passed last year and literally upheld this week to be a nullity—even if it’s a not-so-hot law. The Congress is the body that can amend or repeal federal laws.
