This douche took a beating, but his social algos are probably at all-time highs. A bloody lip = lots of eyeballs = $$$ for said douche

Murder & cover-up? anyone think otherwise?? www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

I’m starting to figure this autocracy thing out…. If I register as a Republican & start wearing a red-foam MAGA hat, I can commit just about any crime I want & get rich doing it. If I remain a Democrat, I’ll get the electric chair for jaywalking.

There’s not a 22 year old on this planet who texts like this.

White House Plans Broad Crackdown on Liberal Groups www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u... The goal, they said, was to categorize left-wing activity that led to violence as domestic terrorism, an escalation that critics said could lay the groundwork for crushing anti-conservative dissent more broadly.

Donald the DICtator just fired a Fed Governor. Enjoy your 401ks while they last. Market is gonna be a shit-show.

Maybe this is why grocery store aisles are running bare.

The client list isn’t on Bondi’s desk anymore because it’s in Donald’s shredder.

My trip to the grocery store today: ✔️Empty shelves ✔️Higher prices All thanks to that orange buffoon

Trump’s emergency response plan is to blame Biden.

Dismantling these departments that warn us about the weather is in Project 2025, and the core reason is they say these departments (RIGHTLY) drive “climate chang alarmism”, which “is harmful to future prosperity” (aka BIG OIL PROFITS)

It’s orientation day at Trump University

This sums up how I felt on the 4th of July

Is there an official DOGE death toll anywhere?

The moment when MAGAs celebrate tanking our economy, funding masked thugs, & depriving millions of healthcare & food. Meanwhile, the rich smile about their big tax cuts.

So glad we all get to experience the Most Ironic Independence Day In American History.

Alligator = Concentration Alcatraz = Camp

Israel and U.S. Smashed Iran Nuclear Site That Grew After Trump Quit 2015 Accord www.nytimes.com/2025/06/28/s... Trump’s like an arsonist who pats himself on the back for dousing his own fire.

branding oneself as a "Democratic Socialist" is really stupid marketing.... why give the GOP troll ammo??

if that idiot fires Powell, the bond market will implode and we'll be one step closer to becoming the next Venezuela

I’ve been revisiting X, just to pop my head out of the Bsky echo chamber. 100% clear— if people get most of their “news” from X, we’re fucking doomed as a society. It’s a toxic mess.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

Many would-be attendees were medically exempted due to bone-spurs

It’s about time all of us stood in front of that tank

Will Trump’s pardons of the J6 assholes pay dividends this weekend? Word is the right-wing goons are itching for a fight with the No Kings protesters….with Trump’s backing, they have nothing to fear.

Will it rain on Commander Bone Spurs’ birthday parade?

""It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy," said Simon..." www.wnep.com/article/news...

a metaphor for how most Americans feel about Trump & Musk....getting run over by incompetent assholes who just keep on driving....

Maybe all the undocumented migrants should pool together some $$ and buy a shitload of Trump’s crypto in exchange for blanket pardons. Worth a try. Greasing his palms has worked for others. #corruption

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Padilla identified himself as a Senator before they jacked him up. If they’re doing this to a US Senator, none of us are safe from Trump’s goons. www.reddit.com/r/GlobalNews...

Trump’s police state is ramping up. Who’s next? Me, you??? Anyone who looks at the asshole sideways????

this headline epitomizes the Era of Stupidity that's being forced on us.... it's f'ing depressing.

One thing we didn’t touch on: If Trump gets away with this, he will absolutely do the same thing during the 2026 & 2028 elections. He will manufacture unrest just like in LA and send federal troops to every major city as a way to intimidate voters and decrease turnout. Functional end to fair elex.

“If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived,” writes NY Times columnist Michelle Goldberg.

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

LA-Reichstag moment

commander Bone Spurs says, “If there’s any protesters that want to come out, they’re will be met with very big force. For those people that want to protest, they’re going to be met with very big force...this is, people that hate our country, but they will be met with very heavy force.”

MAGAs -- "Don't Tread on Me... but we'll Tread on You if you live in a blue state"

add to this, the threats he's making against anyone who plans to protest in DC this weekend....things are crumbling fast

A douchbag with a brain worm probably isn't the best person to dispense medical advice.

this is horrifying.... when will King Donald send in Seal Team 6?

Absolutely right.

My mood today...

Remember the good old days (like 6 months ago) when protests in America were actually allowed... www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPsA...

Happy Birthday Army! You're about to be used to crush dissent!!
