American's are doing their best with art fair, No Kings dance parties with strongly worded posters. What else can we do? Be like France?
This is not how American democracy should function. It’s getting worse every election, not better. I know constitutional amendments are difficult, but it seems like there should be a bipartisan supermajority of citizens who say enough with this stuff.
@abdulelsayed.bsky.social Michigan's F*cking Wolverine! If the Abdul campaign doesn't have this on a billboard and lawn sign, it's a missed opportunity.
Finished THE CASTLE, by @jonronson.bsky.social. Yet another engaging read. Reading that during this Trump Administration, HSI agents have been pulled off important matters like human trafficking, I think there's a bigger story for a second book. I'm reminded of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social work.
Fitst order of business in Michigan after @jocelynbenson.bsky.social takes governor is to suspend the gas tax and end all the unnecessary road work. It's been observed that most road projects are unnecessary cash grabs from the "fix the damn roads" initiative. Enough already.
If we see the Trump phenomenon as a religion and cult, then his follower's behavior makes sense. Religion is full of contradictions to reality and excuses how god works in mysterious ways. We must combat Trumpism the same as we confront religion if we want to deconvert before the Kool-aid kicks in.
Seriously, how dumb to you have to be to sit there and believe this shit? Being a Trump supporter requires you to eagerly embrace a torrent of lies day after day as your dystopian reality.
Since Trump, elections haven't been about what makes good public policy. Elections are popularity, reality tv show contests. It's why I quit writing essays in favor (or not) of particular policies.
It would be great if the media in interviews could ask El-Sayed about issues most American voters care about that affect their daily lives, which he talks about every day and has made the centerpiece of his campaign, instead of endless questions about Israel and podcasters.
Watching @abdulelsayed.bsky.social on @jenpsaki.bsky.social tonight and I'm going to vote for him in the primaries.

LOOKING FOR… Recommendations on the best people with whom to connect about to sue the federal government to end the income tax to recoup monies to stop funding the Trump goons and keep my family afloat.

This kind of talk is for the Republican Cult. It's religious "facts" told despite what everyone can see isn't true for themselves. Faith is a helluva drug.
SCALISE: We've delivered. Remember that 2 years ago, we were paying almost $6 a gallon. Right now it's in the $3s KERNEN: When were we paying $6? SCALISE: 2.5 years ago K: That's not right S: We are lowering inflation K: We're actually above where we were then. 2 years ago the average was $3.65
Alternative facts strike again!

For those in the back, Republican policy is for laws to be for us plebs. While any member of the Republican Party may do as they please.
Every day the Trump DOJ continues to violate the Epstein Files Transparency Act. If *you* violated a federal law, you’d be in trouble. Why isn’t the Trump DOJ being held to account for breaking the law?
But could we have $2 gas instead?
Trump: “I am pleased to announce that TODAY my Admin officially filed plans to the highly respected Commission for what will be the GREATEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL Triumphal Arch, anywhere in the World. This’ll be a wonderful addition to the DC area for all Americans to enjoy for many decades to come!”
I'm thinking two possibilities. 1) These are stock market pump and dump strategies to enrich himself and cronies. 2) Complete incompetence. #2 Seems most likely but there's plenty of evidence Trump gangsters have been financially benefitting.
We’ve been doing this same thing for 15 months. On tariffs, Panama Canal, Greenland, Canada, Nobel Prize, law firms, media companies, state govts, on & on. Trump makes crazy threats & ultimatums. Causes chaos. Backs down. Causes more chaos. Pointing that out isn’t provoking him into doing worse …
This is how all government works. It breaks your legs then gives you crutches and says, "See? If it wasn't for us you couldn't walk." The Pentagon is just another government program but in fatigues.

I reiterate that it's only because of his enablers and apologists. They need to be remembered when this is over. And tried accordingly.
I understand the impulse not to let this guy's statements dictate the news cycle but the fact that he can say shit like this and it barely causes a ripple in the media is a key to his ability to maintain power. Constantly pushing the bar of normality downwards, no pressure to take responsibility.
Correct. Without the enablers, he's just the guy outside a convenience store yelling nonsense.
If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.
In the Before Times, this would be from the guy shaking a pencil cup at you outside the convenience store. Today, he's been propped up in kingly robes by millions of enablers. They are the problem because without them, he's just the pencil guy.
Another beautiful Easter message from the President who loves Jesus with all his heart and soul.
Reupping this: With the USA taking Venezuela then striking Iran, I find myself returning to the theory of Peak Oil to explain American behavior. With a criminal enterprise in charge, enriching themselves and hoarding resources has serious explanatory power. Perhaps an artificial peak was the goal.
1/ Goldman Sachs analysts report that the biggest oil crisis in history is about to hit globally, with profound and highly destructive consequences. A new report asks ""Are We Running Out of Oil?", and concludes that the answer is yes. ⬇️
