Replying to @nickknudsenus.bsky.social

There was a fantastic tweet a while back that said after you make one billion dollars that’s it, everything you earn after that goes to social welfare programs, you get a plaque that says “I won capitalism” and when you die you get a dog park named after you. Someone will repost it hopefully

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

In most self coups I know, an aspiring dictator would exploit an existing crisis to give himself more power. What's depressing about America today is that there was no crisis at all, and the economy was booming. But people suddenly decided to allow a guy to do anything he wanted, even with veterans.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

Showing your child affection improves their mental and physical well-being, increases brain development, and might even one day save the American taxpayers forty-five million dollars.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

In the failed state of California in the overrun city of Los Angeles today I drove my mom to the airport, got some coffee with a friend, got the kids from school and worked on some podcast edits. Thank god the United States Military will be sent in to shoot unarmed civilians. This cannot hold.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Just once I’d time to see one of those frequent New York Times anthropological inquiries into the mind of the MAGA voter just come to the conclusion that they really like the racism.

How absurd are complaints against the super changes? Consider if someone's super goes up from $3m to $3,250,000. So they earned $250,000 in a year. Oh no! Their balance is over $3m. They now have a tax liability. How much? $2,884. That is how much income tax someone pays if they earn... $36,300.

The Trump regime is rife with raging racism and white supremacy. These bigots are literally importing advocates of legalized racial segregation (apartheid) and “deporting” people they deem inferior and unworthy based solely on skin color. For MAGA, it all comes down to melanin.

That is in fact what this administration has done.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Prices will go up. There will be shortages. National parks will be a mess. Air travel, based on what we're seeing in Newark, could go sideways. Measles will spread and fall COVID shots could get delayed. And the president might throw himself a big birthday parade! Widespread anger is coming.

And all the Make Australia Great Again morons have been kicked to the kerb. Albanese with a real mandate, not a Trump fictional mandate. That’s how it’s done America
