These two things are of a piece, even if the motivations and details differ.

Trump’s justification for his authoritarian crackdown is an America that doesn’t exist.

The complete and total bullshit about this is that it should have been the FIRST question asked of Johnson. It is a disgrace that he was not asked about this before he ended his press conference. Unbelievable that he continues to get away with this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

You can see the "I" in POLICIA on the first shield.
The use of these photos is meant to incite followers to respond with hatred. Hatred leads to violence.
Trump wants violence. I believe he hopes there are deaths. He wants distraction.
He wants to utterly destroy his enemies.

Her contempt is extraordinary.

Trump thinks he's a king. He believes he's accountable to no one. Not Congress. Not the American people.

And so when his people testify before the Senate, they act like they are bound by no rules and no laws.

Apple removes ICEBlock app after criticism from Trump administration Apple said Thursday it is removing an app that allows users to share information about sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, which the head of ICE had criticized

The third largest company in the world capitulating without a fight in a move that assists the most brutal part of the Trump regime. I hope employees rise up over this.

Trump promised an infrastructure bill for 4 years in his first term.

Said it was coming in 2 weeks many times.

Never delivered one.

Democrats then delivered critically needed funding for crumbling infrastructure.

Now Russ Vought is taking that away.

But only in blue states.

REMINDER: Rs can nuke the filibuster whenever they want and pass whatever budget they like, but they won’t bc they know they’ll never get it back and then they’ll lose their unjustifiable grip on power forever.

They don’t want a budget, they want accomplices. Don’t do it. Hold the line.

Trump offers Qatar, which gave him a fancy plane, a NATO-like security guarantee Without bothering to go through Congress, the president signed an executive order this week vowing to defend Qatar in the event of a foreign attack.

This didn’t generate a ton of front-page headlines, but Trump this week signed an executive order rewarding Qatar with a NATO-like security guarantee — without bothering to go through Congress.

Is this the same country that gave him a fancy plane? Yes. Yes it is. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Senate Republicans poke holes in the filibuster despite vowing to protect it Facing Democratic opposition, the GOP has discarded a series of precedents and weakened minority power in order to vote through Trump's nominees and legislation.

Y’all. Republicans are FINE with poking holes in the filibuster. They did it ten days ago so they could confirm 48
Trump appointees at once. Don’t let them tell you they can’t pass a CR without Dems. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

Government shutdown, farmers needing to be bailed out, troops in the streets, country bitterly divided, revolving door of appointees, Putin getting coddled, constant chaos … must be another Trump term.

The "left terrorism hits 30-year high" headlines are a lie A new study has the media inaccurately reporting on a statistical fluctuation in left-wing terrorism.

NEW: Multiple media outlets - and Senator @johnfetterman.com - are claiming that left-wing terrorism has hit a "30 year high".

That's not what the data says. They're lying.

This shouldn't need to be said, but coal is failing in the year 2025 because it is more expensive than alternative solutions. You can't polish this lump.

Tacky as hell.

This is fucking horrifying.

GOP controls the House.
GOP controls the Senate.
GOP controls the White House.
If the gov't shuts down, every missed paycheck, every closed office, every crisis?
That's their fault.
Every bit of it.

YouTube video by Katie Phang Trump Faces MAJOR DISASTER as Detainees DISAPPEAR

Shocking new reporting from the Miami Herald: hundreds of detainees MISSING after being detained at Alligator Alcatraz.

I’ve got the latest, incl. the appeals court ruling that makes no sense & the financial blackhole DeSantis has put FL in while chasing Trump’s love.

Says the guy who works for the guy who on a daily basis calls his political opponents “the enemy from within” and every other hyperbolic insult under the sun. Hey @JDVance, you “look in the mirror.”

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

A tweet from Kystian features a text that humorously compares Trump's speech to a Yelp review written in crayon. The background is turquoise, and there is an "Indivisible" logo at the bottom.

A tweet from John Wight on a wrinkled turquoise background, comparing a speech at the UN General Assembly to watching Chewbacca trying to play Hamlet, accompanied by the Indivisible logo.

Tweet from Justin Kanew describing the experience of watching Trump's UN speech as feeling like one person is holding the entire world hostage, with the Indivisible logo at the bottom.

Trump's UN speech was an international embarrassment…

Melania Trump modeled in US prior to getting work visa Melania Trump was paid for 10 modeling jobs in the United States worth $20,056 that she worked in the seven weeks before her attorney says she had legal permission to work in the country, according to...

If the GOP want to continue down their current path (Deport Omar! Deport Mamdani!), then Dems need to start calling for the denaturalization & deportation of Melania, fight fire with fire - plus there are far more unanswered questions about her immigration to the US than either Mamdani or Omar.

They want to make it unsafe to speak out against them. And we are not safe. We are not just being tracked, we will be judged and punished for our speech.

This gigantic skin tag accepted a bribe from FBI agents in a sting. And Emil Bove/Cankles stifled the slam-dunk case.

GOP senators and MoCs need to try to look themselves in the mirror for not impeaching and convicting Homan, Bove, and DJT.

Shame them forever if they don't stand up now.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...
In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration.

He fired the JAGs for the services in the first week of Hegseth's tenure. This was always where it was going. They don't want lawyers stopping their war crimes.

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation.

i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.
