We are going to have the mother of all economic crashes.

This is amazing and brave. They tried to officially ban Pride after trying to kill it with a million pricks. The Project 2025 playbook has been field tested.

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

In case you wondered why Trump can't afford to pay for disaster relief: they are diverting disaster relief money to fund concentration camps

Just wait until Stephen Little Heydrich Miller builds crematorium there.

America should begin referring to Kristi Noem as Irma Grese.

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states. There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this

That’s not what the military is supposed to do. That’s called a military coup.

It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence. It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.

The All Bets Are Off point is getting closer and closer.

Approaching All Bets Are Off status.

Tell me about Hilary Clinton's death panels again...

Of course Gym does.

Speaker Johnson, it's Police Week. Why won't you hang this plaque honoring Capitol Police?

Nothing like a MAGA embrace of free markets.

Nothing like killing off our science innovation.

lmao

Groundhog Day: Endless Winter

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have left Houston, Tampa, New York and other major cities without head meteorologists just ahead of what will be another busy hurricane season This is straight-up life-threatening malpractice (h/t @lisamjarvis.bsky.social ) www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/w...

Kinda my thoughts, too.

ICE Deploys Armored Convoy to Arrest Flier Distributor in California migrantinsider.com/p/ice-deploy...

An immigration judge was fired mid-hearing and forced to walk out in the middle of a case. One of dozens who were abruptly let go without cause via email. This is how the Trump admin is addressing our backlogged immigration system. It’s as if they want it to implode. www.latimes.com/cali...

Here comes the arrests of journalists now.

They’re arresting judges now

There’s no Alien Enemies Act exception to the Fourth Amendment.

www.cnbc.com/2025/04/25/f... Here come the SS.

Ah yes, the government asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews. No way that could go wrong www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/n...

Men in plainclothes, one in a balaclava, raided the Charlottesville courthouse today. They abducted a local painter whose case (allegedly fighting with his roommate) was being dismissed, and another who was there paying fines. They took them away in unmarked vans. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...

🚨Here is Judge Boasberg's opinion finding that he has probable cause that the government in CRIMINAL contempt for defying his orders on March 15: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.

Wrote a thing at how the Bukele/Trump meeting, full of absolute nonsense and bullshit in support of out-and-out fascism and despotism, is yet another dark day in America. www.techdirt.com/2025/04/14/t...

We're in The Bad Place, folks. The existence of an overseas gulag to which you - yes, you personally - can be sent with no recourse marks the end of a whole period of American history. There's no going back after this. Even if these guys are defeated, the new order will have to look much different.

Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

REPORTER: You mentioned you're open to deporting individuals that aren't foreign aliens but aren't criminal to El Salvador. Does that include US citizens? TRUMP: If they are criminals and hit people with baseball bats, if they rape 87 year old women, yeah. Yeah. That includes them. I'm all for it.

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

New York's famed Neue Galerie specializes in Austrian art. But conservatives say there's one famous Austrian artist whose work has been excluded from the museums's collection for purely political reasons.

In case you missed it, the USDA has suspended food shipments to US food banks!!! We need to donate to our local food pantries! I encourage you to read this article from The New York Times about the food banks. Here's a gift link you can read it for free www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

Remember when people used to say the warnings about Trump were alarmist? He’s now explicitly saying US citizens who damage private property that’s linked to one of his oligarch cronies will be sent to prisons in El Salvador.

"A very strong vetting process" is not the same as legal recourse or due process. For example, Jews selected for labor details or gas chambers went through a very strong vetting process.

The fact that ICE agents are permitted to wear masks to hide their identities is, to me, the ultimate sign that US society is okay with fascism.

NEW: According to the @nytimes.com, the Trump administration is planning to argue that its invocation of the Alien Enemies Act allows it to enter the homes of any person who they believe are subject to the declaration WITHOUT A WARRANT. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

Let these DOGE feel your pain. Keep it nonviolent.

Just so we’re absolutely clear about how thoroughly Trump licked Russia’s ass today.
