I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

from today's post —
thanks for reading!

Well played, President Claudia Sheinbaum, for committing troops already at the border since 2021, knowing perfectly well President Man Baby would have no idea and take it as a win.

Weird how no one has come up with a catch nickname for Trump like “Genocide Joe.” I guess it’s not cool now.

NEW: DoJ employees asked for guarantees in writing for the deferred resignation Fork in the Road plan. They were sent this. It strips the signer of the right to sue, and also says if you commit a felony, you’re not eligible for federal employment. Oh, the irony.

I’m sure that if AOC roused an angry mob of Democrats to storm the Capitol and smear their poop on the walls, Donald and the Republicans would call it the worst terrorist attack in history without a shred of irony.

Cassidy—a doctor—has violated his Oath and is a yes on Kennedy.

Kennedy is now almost certain to be confirmed.

People will die because of this; Kennedy at DHHS will cause deaths, full stop.

The crazy thing is, no one even doubts it.

But also no one cares, so here we are.

Wish I knew somebody who was in one of the two halls of Congress right now.

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

The start of week three:

Memos have been distributed to instill fear, warning federal employees that layoffs will begin if not enough people accept Elon’s buyout. This no longer feels voluntary.

@quiltdoctor.bsky.social I got you on the backyard birds! (From your profile.) I should post more birds to try to tamp down the rage. 😂

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

AOC 🔥🎯

Yesterday they renamed it the Gulf of America. Today it's snowing on the Gulf Coast. I'm not saying I did it... but I'm also not saying I didn't.

I was on Tiktok and watching the breakdown happen in real time was so sad. How am I accidentally going to message people in my sleep now?

I was on Tiktok and just watched it get dismantled before my eyes. So sad.

Now would be a good time for Merchan to pull an “LOL just kidding, go to jail”

I wonder if this is in advance of the ban? Like, go ahead and kick everyone out ahead of time? Tiktok is weird and arbitrary, though, so who knows. That really sucks though.

If anyone needs a passport, for whatever reason, passport processing is pretty speedy right now. I renewed mine online and got it back in 10 days. Started new applications for my daughters and it took a total of 17 days from the time we had our appointment until I got them in the mail yesterday.

Is it unreasonable for me to expect that stamps I ordered directly through the US Postal Service should arrive in a timely manner? It's been a week now since I ordered and no sign of them. I had the Christmas cards printed and shipped faster than the stamps are taking. #usps

I just wouldn't put it past Elon to brick Teslas willy-nilly because they're on some list or he decides he doesn't like them.

Trump Signals a ‘Seismic Shift,’ Shocking the Washington Establishment The president-elect’s early transition moves amount to a generational test of a system as he seeks to rewrite the balance of power and install lieutenants to blow up key parts of government.

I feel like—ten years into the Trump era—journalists should have better language for what is happening that goes beyond verbs like shocking, upending, overturning, frustrating...

Every educated person understands Donald Trump is at war with the United States itself.

He's doing violence to America.

If this feed often sounds alarmed it's because I've been genuinely alarmed for my country since 2017. It's not an act or a gimmick; I believe we are and have been in a national emergency. That said, we also must keep a strong hold on our families and values and hobbies in these dark times {cont.}
