Screenshot from The Sims 4 of two young adult Sim women and their baby, lying on the concrete. Sim 1 on the left has red hair and wearing a blue and black outfit. Sim 2 on the right, wears a white sweater, black pants and has long black hair. On the street near their feet is a red haired infant wearing green and lying on a round plaid blanket

I'm a little concerned about the parenting skill of my Sims

I think it's quite literally whomever the last person he talked to is mad at. Trump is not only a madman, he's highly suggestible/manipulatable.

He's not smart enough to actually do this job so he will resort to violence every time.
The whole admin really. They aren't capable of diplomacy and are lazy, so they resort to violence.

Because that worked out so well for the country. But also, a majority of people do not support them & rather than saying "maybe it's *us*" they're like nah-violent takeover.
Also, the GOP was ALWAYS this way. MAGA was 70+ years in the making

CBS, Fox, the Washington Post, and Twitter are all owned by Trump-loving billionaires and soon CNN will be too. Here's why American media has a liberal bias problem.

So Anthropic said "you can't use our products to violate due process/the constitution" and the Trumperment threw a hissy fit because they wanted to violate due process and the constitution.

Veiled in Secrecy, Anti-Trans Extremist Group Deceives Public β€” Assigned A new group reliant on hate and falsehood claims to represent β€œliberals” and β€œDemocrats.” Its own words put the lie to its claims.

NEW: They're an extremist anti-trans group. They're supported by right-wing stalwarts like FIRE and the National Review. And they claim to be Democrats.

Who are they really? @billiejsweeney.bsky.social investgates Democrats for an Informed Approach to Gender.

That Steve Pearce wants to work for a pedophile administration says how he feels about your public lands. He looks at our beautiful parks as his creeper leader looks at 13 year old girls.

Again, with feeling: the argument here is that the administration is totally justified in BREAKING THE LAW in order to fight crime.

Withholding congressionally appropriated money, which is what Medicaid funding is, is a violation of federal law and the Constitution.

More surveillance, micromanaging, and commercialization of personality and emotion. All of which decrease morale and productivity.

Tennessee GOP Intro Bill To Kill Women Who Get An Abortion Here's an update on the bill, on the men responsible, and how you can contact them to stop this bill

Hey, so, reminder that Tennessee Republicans are introducing a bill that would kill women who get an abortion.

I dug up the MAGAs names, numbers, emails, & a script to use when calling them. Menβ€”we need to step up. Act. Inundate them. Shut this trash down ASAP.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

This is an attack on human rights.

Kansas is stripping trans people of their drivers licence unless they change it to the wrong gender.

This will make it so they can’t drive and can’t vote.

Get loud.

If they can take rights away from trans people, they can take them from you.

FIRE warns HB 1119 will increase Florida school book banning 'Our focus right now is on making legislators aware of the bill’s constitutional problems.'

β€œThe FLDOE’s own report shows that during the last school year, literary classics and widely acclaimed modern works…were removed even from libraries serving students in grades 9-12. If enacted, HB 1119 will only accelerate this trend and further narrow the range of ideas on school library shelves.”
