Imagine if we had a real opposition party.

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time.

To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.

Jamelle Bouie: “Either democracy was on the ballot in November, or it wasn’t, and if it was, it makes no political, ethical or strategic sense to act as if we live in normal times.” 100,000%!! This is driving me *nuts*. Dem pols: fight or piss off. [nytimes.com]

Adding some thoughts and prayers to the Q4 report for the shareholders presentation.

Might as well make it a top ten, really.

Ooops, thought this was over, nooope.

MAHA Bobby with McDs and a Coke is wild to see.

You're probably not going to change his mind, at best maybe he hesitates or refines his rhetoric more carefully next time. But you might make some folks question what he's saying, or you might just get his shitty post to show up in more people's feeds.

In some ways, the engagement is exhausting and a waste of time. In other ways, your response is out there for everyone else to see, and that's something. It's kinda beautiful seeing him get shredded in the responses.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

So much emboldened hate on display.

The folks who wanted to "stop DEI" and "restore meritocracy" are here trying to give a job to a patently unqualified TV host who stans the fucking crusades?

“She Was a High School Student and There Were Witnesses.” The fight to release a damning House Ethics report about allegations that Matt Gaetz—Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general—had sex with a 17-year-old girl has begun.

When they said they wanted to "bring pedophiles to justice", it didn't occur to me that the meant they wanted Matt Gaetz to run the DOJ. #EveryAccusationAConfession

Le sigh indeed..

Isn't this like the exact opposite of Trump's proposed import tariffs?

'Viruses Are Our Friend'— 10 Off the Wall Video Clips from RFK Jr. Resurface on Bluesky Past comments include denying AIDS and calling vaccinated children "damaged"

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
