Fellow GenXers: remember how often we were bombarded with images of late-period USSR? Old, decrepit men in charge, clinging to an ossified ideology. Political repression, nakedly false propaganda, empty shelves, food shortages, inadequate health care, deep-seated cynicism, crumbling infrastructure

One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵

“We have to do everything we can to fight back against Trump and that’s why it’s my responsibility is to shit on any popular Democrat under 80 who gets voters excited.”

Democratic Sen. Cory Booker is imploring his party to fight back harder against President Donald Trump, arguing that history will remember some for their “complicity” in “bending the knee” to him: cnn.it/4lbnoai

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse@whitehouse.senate.gov

What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky. So what's up? Here’s my take 🧵

I’m sorry for the long post but a lot of you have followed me for a long time, since 2016 when I was one of the first to repeatedly call out Trump for being a Russian asset. I don’t know how else to say this, as a person who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it) and totalitarian states.

A live shot from ABC 10 News in San Diego. This must be one of the biggest anti-Trump protests anywhere in the country. Amazing turnout 👏 #NoKings #50501Movement

The trader guys woke up this morning in the same clothes as last night, covered in margarita stains and their own vomit. Then the realisation hit. A 125% tariff on China and 10% tariff on 200 other countries isn’t a “pause on tariffs”.

The Republican Party, in charge of the US government, is kidnapping human beings and sending them to offshore torture camps with no charge no defense and no trial in defiance of the law and court orders and common decency. Fucking Nazis.

A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social

This is no arrest. This is kidnapping.

I'm sorry but going to the white house after they tried to erase the contributions of the most important player in the history of your team is coward shit

Dodgers have accepted an invitation to visit the White House on April 7th during their series in DC. Some members of the team will also visit Capitol Hill on April 8

"your opinion is worthless, shut the fuck up" is exactly the correct response to all the racist transphobic whiners bitching about the existence of anyone who isn't a white male in video games

We need more of this from universities.

How fucking Andy is the voice of reason shows how sick America is. I love Andy. Early Conan is my entry point. If America needs Andy Fucking Richter to tell them what is happening; I hope the Mastrubating Bear is the next Secretary of State.

Andy Richter@andyrichter.co

Sometimes it feels like I’m going crazy, because there is something that is right in front of our faces, has been for years, and nobody of consequence ever says it: Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin. How much more proof does anyone need? And what is anybody going to do about it?

People need to understand that we are in an entirely new paradigm. It is now Russia the US against Ukraine and Europe. This is not a shift in US policy, it is a transformation of what kind of country the United States is in the world

This is one of the reddest, Trump-friendliest parts of California. They need to know who is breaking their economy.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.

The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, begins her job with an easily confirmed lie. Not unexpected from a former Newsmax employee. Nor from a Trump spokesperson. Media reporting the lie without pointing out its lack of veracity is why we are in this mess. NOTHING! they say is believable.

Matt Shipman (he/him)@shiplives.bsky.social

In her first meeting with reporters, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told an obvious lie. (In case you were wondering, no, the United States did not send $50 million worth of condoms to Gaza.*) But the fact that Leavitt made this statement tells us a few things. 🧵

You can’t win hearts and minds abroad when the heartless and mindless at home elect a heartless and mindless president.
