Lest We Forget the Horrors: An Unending Catalog of Trump’s Cruelties, Collusions, Corruptions, and Crimes: June 2025: Atrocities 273-313 Early in President Trump’s first term, McSweeney’s editors began to catalog the head-spinning number of misdeeds coming from his administration. We...

July's list is going to be a DOOZY.

Why am I not surprised. It was obvious. #SaveColbert

Some may not know, but I’m a Keeper of Tarantulas, and today, I received in the mail what I think is the *teeniest*tiniest* spood I have ever received. Fingers crossed I can raise her up until big! (A. Geniculata / Brazillian White Knee) #tarantulas #tarantulove #tarantulasofbluesky #spood

I was sharing that same sentiment with another friend of mine, who’d never heard of the Fords. I can’t believe I live in a world where I agree with a Ford. Rob would really be an equal match to battle Trump in this. It would make the burning of our democracy more fun to watch at least.

Quid, meet quo.

The image is a political cartoon depicting a caricature of Donald Trump with an exaggeratedly large, gaping mouth, resembling a black hole. Two astronomers are observing it through a large telescope. A speech bubble from one of the astronomers says, “Just look at that bottomless pit from which neither light nor FACTS can escape!” The caption above reads, “Report: Astronomers discover ‘behemoth’ black hole…”. The cartoon satirically suggests that Trump’s statements or rhetoric are like a black hole, absorbing truth and facts, allowing nothing accurate to escape.

Resistance cannot be performative. Trump’s resurgence reveals the futility of symbolic opposition. Protest without power-building is spectacle. Democrats must abandon reactive gestures and construct durable, grassroots networks—or surrender governance to authoritarian drift.

My father has been radicalized and is a MAGAt. He’s first generation. His parents were staunchly anti-Nazi and FLED to America for safety as the Nazis began marching across Europe. Yet here’s my dad. In love with a Nazi party. He’s a lost cause. How could he forget the reason he was born here?

This is what terrifies me about RFK Jr. getting this role. My prescriptions are the only thing that keep me tethered to reality and my life. He’s going to try and take them away? One of the only reasons why I’m still here are the life-saving prescriptions I am on that balance my brain chemistry.

Duolingo's owl mascot is a social media sensation. So why did they kill him off? Duo was fatally hit by a Tesla Cybertruck, the language-learning company announced this week. The snarky owl has been the face of Duolingo for over a decade. Why his sudden demise, and what's next?

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

The image is a caricature of Donald Trump, depicted with an exaggeratedly large head, pursed lips, and a smug expression. He is sitting on a throne-like chair made of missiles, some of which are labeled with nuclear symbols. His hands are gripping what appear to be red buttons, symbolizing control over nuclear weapons. The base of the chair is adorned with skulls, reinforcing a theme of destruction and power. The artwork uses detailed shading and texture, giving it a striking and dramatic effect.

The ones truly responsible are those who allowed a convicted criminal to become the 47th president of the United States. Today, we are dealing with an untouchable, irrational narcissist who believes he can act with total impunity.

Thank you! 😂

Ok, that’s what I was hoping you meant, but I wanted to be sure. I wouldn’t say it was blocked, but, I haven’t been getting the more helpful responses I would have expected. As in, normally, relevant responses are easier to see. I don’t know if searches are being officially suppressed though.

No, this is Gonzo.

Alt National Park Service account: “Elon Musk staff has been caught plugging in hard drives inside the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Treasury Department, and the General Services Administration (GSA). His staff encountered resistance when demanding that Treasury officials grant access to systems managing the flow of more than $6 trillion annually to programs like Social Security and Medicare. Tensions escalated when Musk’s aides were discovered at OPM accessing systems, including a vast database known as the Enterprise Human Resources Integration (EHRI), which contains sensitive information such as dates of birth, Social Security numbers, performance appraisals, home addresses, pay grades, and length of service for government employees. In response to employees speaking out, Musk’s aides locked civil servants out of computer systems and offices, with reports of personal items being searched.”

I hope the silence from Congress means they have an amazing plan to stop this damage. This is a hostile takeover of the government. Everyone should be extremely alarmed. This is not “just politics”. Everyone NEEDS to care.

As bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac, Donald Trump and his grossly incompetent administration are blaming this deadly crash on minorities and white women. This is disgusting, racist and sexist. Their reckless actions have consequences and they should be held accountable.

I’m so happy you all are on Bluesky! Stevie is an inspiration. (InsPURRation?)

Last one - not to mention the Avian bird flu and food contamination. We won’t be told of any of that. Indefinitely. And Trump is trying to get rid of the USDA, FDA, all the places that would investigate and let us know of food contamination OR keep tabs on the food industry to prevent bad practices

3/3 because they are closest to us. It still wouldn’t be fully accurate, but if there are breaking alerts about pandemics or epidemics, it would be nice to know it as soon as possible. We’re getting outbreaks of TB, Measels etc. but CDC et. Al isn’t allowed to keep us updated.

2/3 administration, Trump famously tried to gag the CDC and others from reporting numbers of Covid infection because “if (they) don’t report the numbers it won’t be bad”. Plus he lied about treatment (inject bleach, take Ivermectin, and worse). Neighboring countries would have the most relevant info

1/2 Not sure how you meant this, but I wasn’t expecting a “just google” from a friend. Of course I can Google - but especially during Covid, we used to have access to instant alerts and push notifications about outbreaks and protocols. We won’t have that anymore because of the gag order. In his last

Sisi says Egypt will not take part in 'act of injustice' displacing Palestinians Egypt will not participate in the displacement of Palestinians, an "act of injustice" that would threaten Egyptian security, President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi said on Wednesday in his first public response to U.S. President Donald Trump's call for Cairo to take in residents of the Gaza Strip.

International friends - specifically #Canada and #Mexico, I guess? Are there any health information resources that would be accessible - since communications have been frozen from ours, I’m hoping for other ways to stay informed of health/communicable disease alerts. #Project2025

@nwomack.bsky.social Hello, friend! Saw your post on FB. I’m still trying to figure out how to find people I know here!

Idk, it seems like there are just too many egos in Washington. Nothing will change for the better so long as politicians are "career politicians."
