It's almost like he thinks he's the king. The 7,000,000+ from last weekend were not wrong to attend #NoKings.

Do not spread his ugliness. This is our days, not his.

It's like he never left Juvi.

We were all taught that when say our sorry's to also say what we think we did wrong. You do that consistently without weasel words. Let redemption live, Climate.

There's quite a bill of particulars against them by now. A competent opposition should have crafted and begun to use a solid narrative that explains "why that's bad FOR YOU and FOR US."

Shaming the shameless is not effective. Good for #NoKings. Dems? Still weak sauce.

It's early in the day and the Villages retirement community in Florida is already showing up for the #nokings protests

ICYMI The Villages was the scene of some voter fraud in Trump's favor....

Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, also recently slammed people who are making Al-generated videos of her late father, calling the clips "gross." She added, "To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop pup-peteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it."

Can a Repentant, Regretful Republican Thrive as a Dem? Geoff Duncan isn’t just running for governor of Georgia as a Democrat. He’s testing how wide the party’s ‘big tent’ can stretch.

I think Ed makes a pretty strong point here about Lindsey Halligan: She hasn't been lawfully appointed under 28 U.S.C. § 546, and as he also points out, his view is supported by a 1986 OLC opinion written by some guy named … {checks notes} … Samuel A. Alito. (1/3)

It's easy to see this speech as just weirdly performative, but there's a lot more—and a lot worse—going on here.

The meeting & speeches are part of a larger project aimed at promoting the military leadership’s partisan alignment with the administration.

How? 1/

OMG this William G. Young opinion that just dropped (12:30pm) in AAUP v. Rubio.

It's been implied for decades that American elections are "tainted" -- and that's why we need "one more requirement" added to IDs, or fewer voting days and places, or...

Trump has mastered a well-worn technique that Dems and reality-based GOP factions have never learned to resist or counter.

Research: Believing that the mass public in the opposing party supports undemocratic tactics leads people to be more supportive of undemocratic tactics themselves. Being assured that a majority of your opponents oppose such radical tactics increases support for democratic norms osf.io/my987/download

DOGE Targeted Him on Social Media. Then the Taliban Took His Family. Afghan scholar Mohammad Halimi, who fled the Taliban in 2021, had worked to help U.S. diplomats understand his homeland. Then DOGE put his family’s lives at risk by exposing his sensitive work for a U...

After DOGE outed Halimi, Taliban intelligence agents blindfolded and took three of his family members to a remote prison.

They were repeatedly beaten and questioned about Halimi and his recently publicized work for the United States.

officialjackwhite "Jack White is a washed up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career," wrote Cheung. "It's apparent he's been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of The People's House."--White House Communications Director Steven Cheung Listen, I'm an artist and not a politician so I'm in no need to give my answer or opinion on anything if I'm not inspired or compelled, but how funny that it wasn't me calling out trump's blatant fascist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his racist remarks about Latinos, Native Americans, etc. his ridiculous "wall" construction, his attacks on the disabled his attempted coup and mob insurrection and destruction of the sacred halls of congress, his disparaging sexist and pedophilic remarks about women, his obvious attempts at distraction about being a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein and his inclusion in the Epstein files, his ignorance of the dying children in Sudan, Gaza, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, his lack of empathy for military veterans and those struggling with poverty, his attempts to dismantle healthcare, his obvious wimpy and pathetic kowtowing to the dictators Putin and Kim Jong Un, his nazi like rallies, his attempts to sell merchandise and products like Goya beans through the office of the President, his fake "gunshot to the ear" that he showed no medical records or photographs of his constant, constant lying to the American people, etc. etc. No, it wasn't me calling out any of that, it was the fucking DECOR OF THE OVAL OFFICE remarks I made that got them to respond with insults. How petty and pathetic and thin skinned could this administration get? Masquerading as a real artist? Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving! Well here's my opinion, trump is masquerading as a human being.

officialjackwhite He's masquerading as a christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy. He's been masquerading as a businessman for decades as nothing he's involved in has prospered except by using other people's money to find loophole after loophole and grift after grift. His staff of professional liar toadies like Steven Cheung and Karoline Leavitt have been covering up and masking his fascism as patriotism and "ample time on at golf than helping ANYONE in the country. Improve. Anything. There progress with him, only smoke and mirrors and tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. So maga folk, enjoy your concrete paving over of the rose garden, your 200 million dollar ballroom in the White House, and your gaudy ass gold spray painted trinkets from Home Depot, cause he ain't spending any money agenda. on helping YOU unless you fit into his white supremascist country club rich idiot. No intelligent person can defend this low life fascist. This bankrupter of casinos. This failed seller of trump steaks, trump vodka, trump water, etc. This man and his goon squad have failed upwards for decades and have fleeced the American people over and over. This professional golf cheat, this grifter who has hundreds of thousands of deaths from his inaction of the pandemic on his hands, this man that the majority of the country somehow were fooled into supporting and voting into office (through the flawed electoral college) and their love of reality television stars. Being insulted by the actual White House that this particular conman leads is a badge of honor to me, because anyone who trump supports and likes is a villain who gives nothing to their fellow man, only takes what can benefit themselves. And no I'm not a Democrat either, I'm a human being raised in Detroit, I'm an artist who's owned his own businesses like his own upholstery shop and recording label since he was 21 years old who has enough street sense to know when a 3 card monte dealer is a cheap grifter and a thief.

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats.

Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

But it is also more cognitive load and reads "a little off." You might argue these clinical treatments undermine the power of simple, true statements: "I'm in jail."

On balance, I think I'm with @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social. Around here, the only elected Dems are local Dems.

I see these in our local public media and in our local talk. "Homeless" -> "unhoused person;" in our law school, "Inmate Legal Assistance" -> "Incarcerated Individuals Legal Assistance." I think the impulse is "don't reduce me to a condition." That's fair.

I had a great dog for a bunch of years, a pibul named Daisy. Mr Trump's motions remind me of the way she greeted me each day. With her walnut-sized brain, Daisy was never so obsequious as to clap. And I'm not even an indicted war criminal.

So hell yeah, kill me now -- I saw it all, but never this.
