No one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American public. H.L. Mencken

Hey, it’s a free market. We don’t have to buy from assholes if we don’t want to.

Trump's America after 6 weeks: First measles death in 10 years, deadliest plane crash in 20 years, consumer confidence & stock market are down, inflation & unemployment are up plus he has alienated western democratic allies from Canada to Europe and made the US a Kremlin aligned country

So stupid

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

I am excited to campaign for you!

we may be one of the few pubs that got this headline right Trump And Vance Ambush Zelensky In Prelude To Betrayal talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-a...

Absolutely repulsive.

Everything is bad. Do we still have a CIA??

Truly. What is the point of having intelligence if they don’t use it now????

Elon Musk isn’t a genius—he’s a government-funded grifter under investigation. Every contract, every dollar, every scandal—it all connects. Keep this: It’s a roadmap for every move Musk and DOGE make.

Everyone, call your reps right now. Demand that they start impeachment proceedings against our president for colluding with our enemies, abandoning our allies, and destroying our constitution. I’m not sure what else to do, but I don’t want to be under the thumb of Putin.

100%

Please, @repdangoldman.bsky.social - impeach our president! He is compromised by Russian, is abandoning our allies, and endangering our country. We support you in taking extreme action to resist the destruction of our democracy!!!

Ukraine has shown the world that the little guy can stand up to the bully and refuse to back down, even when the odds seem overwhelming. Resistance isn’t futile. In the next four years, we must stand just as strong as Ukraine has. All my respect to President Zelenskyy.

Absolutely disgraceful. I will go to my grave NEVER forgiving people who voted for these disgusting, arrogant, Russian assets.

I am listening to these letters every single day. She gives an overview of everything happening. Plus historical context.

Everyone. Please help tank Tesla stock. Sell sell sell!!! It is just so glorious for this arrogoant ding dong to get a taste of his own medicine. fortune.com/2025/02/27/t...

Excited to be participating in the #economicblackout today. Easy peasy since i don’t want to buy any of the oligarchs’ trash anyway. I’m also avoiding all meta products… so lucky BlueSky users get my cute kid photos instead!

Didn’t the prez say no more electric vehicles?????

How we feel about living through a #constitutionalcrisis while many in our country cheer it on.

Following on the overwhelming response to last week's column, I wrote a second dispatch imagining how the Musk takeover would be covered by the US media if it was happening overseas, and they felt comfortable calling a spade a spade.... www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/white-nati...

Go go go!

The logic of the coup that is going on now. And how to resist it. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

I guess they really are planning to crash the economy. How bad is the stock market going to be on Monday? Someone tell me.

A recap of where we are at right now… and i think where we are is very big trouble. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Do older Americans know that Elon Musk now controls access to their Social Security and health insurance?

I just tried calling and it appears @schumer.senate.gov and Sen Gillibrand’s voicemail boxes are full… but @democrats.org MUST RESIST. And vote NO on all nominees!!!

None of these folks could have possibly cleared background checks!

This is bad. What can we do?

Truth. Unfortunately.

Amplifying this. I feel crazy, but I think things are bad.

I feel like we are being coup’d. And Trump may not even be aware????

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

Ordering … who? To do … what? What does this even mean?

If you don’t hear the N word every time a Republican says “DEI” you’re lying to yourself.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

They’ve got this dumb dumb out there defending concentration camps….

He is pathetic. He is a 54 year old man who doesn’t know how to do anything. He just wants power to make himself feel better about being a dud.

I think they are going to find, despite our constant complaints, that much of the American public is quite fond of our democracy and federal government also.

Please someone tell me why the Dems don’t vote NO on every single thing??!! Stand together! Hold the line! @schumer.senate.gov

Kaine: "The president has two Republican houses. If he wants to cut the budget, he's go majorities in both houses. He could just work with them to do it the lawful way...that he's not doing that means he doesn't have confidence that the GOP leadership will go along with the extremity of his actions"

Medicaid covers 41% of all USA births. Pro life party that constantly screams about "declining birth rates," won't fund universal healthcare, won't fund pre-K, won't fund child tax credit, won't fund school lunches, & now eliminates healthcare needed for 2 of every 5 babies. This will kill people.
