Our country 🇺🇸, is suffering unnecessarily because most of the information that seeps through to citizens is willfully deceitful and manipulative. Let’s talk it through.

For any single person out there who supports Trump, the fact that he hates his political opponents tells us all we need to know about the man. He doesn’t understand our government and country and is clearly a person who has intent to harm fellow citizens of the US. Why don’t normal people see it?!

Un-fucking-believable. I wonder what it's going to be, that moment when Dear Father says or does something outrageous and there isn't room to actually go any lower. What a piece of shit.

None of this is normal. Institutions are shuttering venues of dissent. The judiciary is being turned into a mechanism to harass Trump's political opponents. The media is silencing critics. And now the Senate is no longer going to do advice and consent. None of this is normal.

This is a big deal. When Skydance bought Paramount, they put a Trump-approved content monitor in charge of CBS News, fired Stephen Colbert, and hired right wing talent. What do you think they will do to get Trump's approval for the purchase of CNN?

Can you all imagine the cabinet meeting that happened yesterday with Vance sitting in Trumps seat and everyone saying the same shit. Please, someone out there create a video showing what that would look like.

Reinventing_again™@realityred.bsky.social

That cabinet meeting yesterday was an opportunity to eulogize Trump while he's still alive. He can go now.

How is it possible that this kind of data does not reach soooo many Americans, specifically MAGA folks

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Few charts show our current American weakness like this one. The minute Trump came into office, Putin knew he had the green light to do whatever he wanted and kill as many innocent civilians as he wanted.

The funniest thing about the Newsom stuff is, I don’t think a lot of these MAGAs realize he’s making fun of them and of Trump. They seem to think he’s “copying” Trump or something. Total lack of awareness of satire.

KingMe reposted

There is only one way to respond to this GOP gerrymandering power-grab: hit them back harder. Newsom has shown what we can do when we’re not afraid to play their game. Time for other Dems to follow suit.

this is fairly standard behavior in a particular type of narcissist: anything they have any measure of control over for any reason belongs to them and is theirs to use however they want without any limitation

KingMe reposted

This isn’t about John Bolton, so whatever you think about him is irrelevant. It is about every person who dares to publicly criticize Trump. It is about intimidating and silencing all of us, and it will work with some. There are going to be many more Boltons in the coming months.

The people who reflexively say that everything happening in the news every day is just a distraction from the Epstein files are allowing themselves to get distracted by the Epstein files from many other things that are incredibly important also.

He is literally imitating Trump on Social media. It's starting to bother the right because it shows everyone how RIDICULOUS it is. But it is EXACTLY what Trump has been doing for years. It's working. They're telling him to stop b/c it is hitting too close to home for them.

If you're looking for a good movie, watch The Penquin Lessons on Netflix. It's a great story, and you can watch parallel history as people are "disappeared" off the streets of Argentina during their military coup in the '70s. Not much different than what we're experiencing today in America.

State after state will redraw Congressional district maps, hold special election referendums to get approval to disenfranchise millions of Democratic and Republican voters in the midterms. Why? Because one narcissistic sociopath can't bear the thought of losing control of Congress, losing power.

They were caught, & along with another student, Christoph Probst, were executed within days of being caught. For spreading pamphlets. Let that sink in. Their crime was spreading anti-Nazi pamphlets. Hans was studying to become a doctor. Sophie was studying biology and philosophy...

The White Rose was a rare resistance group of students & a few professors. Inge & siblings were enthusiastic fans of Hitler when he was on the rise. But slowly, the cruelty & stifling conformity soured them on Hitler & the Nazis. Inge's older siblings, Hans & Sophie, spread anti-Nazi pamphlets.

It is the fascist way! This is from Inge Scholl's memoir, "The White Rose." Her family lived through the Nazi era in Germany: "The conservative Christian parties smoothed Hitler's path to power. Ten years later, Germany was a hotbed of robbers & rapists who waged war on all of Europe..."

Why is the media giving Trump a free pass on his antisemitic comments about Zelenskyy’s genes being the reason he thinks he is a good negotiator! Wake up! Trump is an old man who is a walking talking throwback to an era when all kinds of racial and cultural slurs were tolerated. Call him out ya’ll

Trump on undocumented farm workers: "People that live in the inner city are not doing that work. They've tried, we've tried, everybody tried. They don't do it. These people do it naturally. Naturally ... they don't get a bad back, because if they get a bad back, they die."

To them every part of government - even Social Security - is just a source of enrichment for their billionaire friends. "Privatizing" Social Security is just about getting Wall Street a bunch of fees to manage money.

Update: I offered this simple amendment in the Appropriations Committee to say no President can withhold funds from a college to try to control their speech. Failed 14-15. Every Republican voted to endorse Trump’s censorship.

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Ok I’m offering another amendment right now in the Appropriations Committee to stop Trump’s corruption. This one says the Department of Education can’t cancel funding for a college just because professors or students hold views Trump doesn’t like. Again, stay tuned.

This post is so scary and I believe it to be true! They’ll take Trump then after they’re stuck with all they gave up they will realize they gave up their country, freedom, and constitutional protections because they were angry about having to share their status with others they deem inferior.

I read all 900 pages. As I read each chapter (having first looked up the authors for background), the conspiracy was clear. It is a coup. It’s directive to the transfer of all power to the Executive Branch with Trump controlling it all. They have paved a path for him to remain past 2028.
