One disabled Marine veteran has not had a primary care doctor assigned to him since his previous doctor left in the winter, his wife said. The VA “was never like this before. There’s a lack of staff, empty rooms, locked doors.”

Not authoritarian or fascist at all. Not one bit.

Happy Friday to everyone who might be concerned that he has possession of the nuclear codes, blames the messenger for tanking the economy & would gladly pardon a monster to save his own thin orange skin.

“We’re launching Home of the Brave — to give regular Americans a place to tell their story about how the Trump administration is harming them, their communities and their country.” – @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social

My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents.

When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:

Respect new names for popes but throw tantrums over pronouns for neighbors. Got it.

Wow. 🥹

Three days ago Trump took away my non-existent security clearance…. At the same time his cabinet was texting top secret plans with a member of the media on board.

Copy that

From interview of Lee Bollinger, 1st Amendment scholar who served as dean of @UMichLaw, president of @UMich, and president of Columbia University.

X post by Andy Kim (@AndyKimNJ ), featuring a verification badge. The text reads, "More people need to see this. It cannot be understated. Trump is trying to criminalize the service of Habitat for Humanity and go after nonprofits who help people when they need it most. It is political retribution. It is unjust and it is a direct threat to our democracy." Below this, there is a quoted post from The New Republic (@newrepublic ), also with a verification badge, posted 1 day ago. The quoted text states, "The FBI is now moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for 'conspiracy to defraud the United States.' This comes after EPA Director Lee Zeldin eliminated the EPA headquarters in D.C. and 10 other regional offices...." The posts express concern about political actions targeting nonprofits and government agencies, framing it as a threat to democracy.

This is how we know we are in the Upside Down.
