Ron Blancarte

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

More people should be talking about this.

Humans were just not designed to have every piece of information, true, or false, available to them at any moment of the day. Take away everyone’s phone.

So many layers of corruption.

Amen to this! 💙

It’s the narcissist’s playbook. 1. Do something bad/stupid 2. Blame someone else (“They (or you) did this/made me do this!”) 3. Loudly claim (usually falsely) to have fixed the problem 4. Take credit for 3 (but never blame for 1) and say “Look what I did for you! You should be grateful!”

Wow, the Vatican wasted no time.

Miami Herald: Just weeks after Ron DeSantis' admin steered $10 million from a legal Medicaid settlement to a charity spearheaded by First Lady Casey DeSantis, the Hope Florida Foundation gave that same amount to two political groups favored by the DeSantises. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

🚨 Zuckerberg says that the average American has fewer than 3 friends but has a demand for 15 or more. His solution: AI FRIENDS. Here's what everyone should know about Meta's attempt to turn us into a cyborg society:

If you had to take out a loan to afford college, you’re “pampered, elitist”

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

Hell yeah! Put this on loop—this wise man speaks for me. 🔥

MORAN: Even some people who voted for you are saying, 'I didn't sign up for this.' So how do you answer those concerns? TRUMP: Well, they did sign up for it actually

The public shaming of Shari Redstone has been swift and scathing—but inside CBS News, the fury is even more pronounced, as staffers blame her for undermining the crown jewel of American TV journalism. Details in Status: www.status.news/p/shari-reds...

I don't think people in the US fully understand how much our government has made us broadly hated in other countries

I’m sitting at in my Marriott restaurant for breakfast and the guy a few seats over proved a point perfectly : when you say the word “tip” to your server, you’re the a-hole. And people wonder why we have that “ugly American” title around the world.

Sullivan: This has been an unadulterated disaster. And it’s because it’s not just about the policy—it’s that President Trump and his team have gone at the core American advantages in the world and systematically tried to dismantle them.

ABBY PHILLIP: “Scott, you keep repeating something nobody ever said. No one said Trump can't have an opinion. The Q is, should the fed act based on it? Trump is not an economist. And as far as I can tell, he does not even have a good grasp on how trade works.” 🎯

I'm sorry I know there's a lot going on but how are we not screaming about Ron DeSantis stealing $10 million from Medicaid and the money ending up with pro-DeSantis superPACs, funneled through a charity run by his wife? HOW IS THIS NOT NATIONAL NEWS? www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

The dumbest administration of all damn time. Idiots. #DUIHire www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

This is something we should always remember. Great stuff and a reminder to touch grass.

Men haven't done shit when it comes to standing up to Trump. But women are taking the lead.

Just remembering how Joe Biden forgiving some student loans was taking the power of the presidency too far.

if we want to rebuild american institutions and earn back the world’s trust after this we cannot settle for half-measures. lots of people need to go prison. lots more need to be permanently stripped of wealth and power.

Everyone should watch this. Then share it with anyone who thinks these tariffs are a good idea and won’t crush small businesses. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DIDAtyB...

They want to imprison anyone for burning down a Tesla. For 20 years. How much for burning down the stock market?

Who did this?

Breaking: Whirlpool announces they are laying off 651 American workers in Iowa, citing the economic conditions under Trump.

California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."

Just found out my taxes were already files (hint - they weren't). Talking with my tax accountant, it sounds like this has been common this year and he thinks the IRS has been mildly hacked. Thanks DOGE, Elon and Donald.

Pro tip for Democrats: if Trump is congratulating you, you fucked up.
