We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

This guy sounds like a fucking lunatic.

Which will pop first—AI or Trump? Two enormous bubbles threaten everything around us.

We are now losing jobs. Inflation is endemic. The costs of Trump's controlled disintegration of the global economy and the federal government cannot even be safely estimated yet.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Trump officials discussed sending elite Army division to Portland, text messages show A high-ranking White House official was indiscreetly texting about the Portland, Ore., planning last weekend, according to messages shared with the Minnesota Star Tribune.

The messages show high-level officials in the Trump administration discussing the possible deployment of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, an infantry force that has dropped into combat zones in both World Wars, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Wait a minute. The only kinetic weapons I'm aware of are experimental railguns on some navy vessels. Are lobbing inert cruise missiles are fishing boats?!?!?

This is the thing elected dems seem unable to swallow. There is no realistic modus vivendi where somehow remain a functioning liberal democracy after 3 years of Trump. He is removed or we become Azerbaijan. Removal is ultimately the only goal that matters.

It's becoming difficult to hide that a major purpose of the Trump administration is siphoning tax revenues from Blue states and redirecting them into subsidies for Red states. At what point does this become intolerable?

An ouroboros of idiocy.

If it happens, they have no plans to hire any of them back.

Look at those faces. Nearly everyone there is solidifying in their minds what their last straw will be. They are mourning for their country, for their military.

Judging by their speeches, neither Trump nor Hegseth has paid the slightest attention to how actual wars are being fought in the actual world. The “war fighting” and “lethality” they plan is inside their own country and comes from conflicts inside their own minds.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Mike Johnson cancels votes, locks doors to U.S. House as he has refuses bipartisan negotiations to keep the gov't open

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

PG A.M.: Jan. 6 organizer voted to RNC violated federal election regulations Two days before ultraconservative activist Amy Kremer won a surprise victory for a coveted party post, Georgia GOP leaders received an email from a veteran Republican consultant.

"The letter from Patrick Krason of FEC Compliance Services warned that Kremer had been fined 10 times by the Federal Election Commission for not submitting reports. He also accused her super PAC of not paying several vendors, including his firm."

This is the clearest, saddest truth. It may be as "benign" as Donnies and friends getting first dibs on projects like TRUMP TOWER. Or something much worse, like the American military-lead "sweep" of Gaza in preparation for leveling everything and building Donnie's towers.

Jesus, I can't type today.

AND BLUESKY NEEDS AN EDIT BUTTON.

Netanyahu? The guy that brags with firend he owns Trump and Owns America?

This Christian on Christian violence ends today. I am instructing every church in America to garrison a squad of active military members. They will monitor your congregation for subversive anti-Trump rhetoric.

(Trumps next announcement that Christians will gobble up in pure joy)

Mark Blaxill helped build the anti-vaccine movement. RFK Jr. just hired him at CDC. Neither a physician nor a scientist, new CDC senior adviser Mark Blaxill claims without evidence that every child who takes vaccines is in some way injured.

Trump deleted his bizarre post featuring an AI video of him endorsing “medbeds,” which raises the question of whether he’s so confused that he thought it was a real video of him talking

I just read that overall renewables costs are less expensive than coal. And most of the "senior coal miners" are dead and dying. There are more Cheesecake Factory employees than coal miners in America. I guess Donnie can always force the gulag prisoners toil in the mines.

At least coal mining is gentle on the environment and has no effects on the surrounding, once protected, wildlife...

</sarcasm>

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.

2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.

3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!
