Some of these people have now been fired and rehired TWICE since January. The current state of dysfunction is mind boggling.

Bluesky is a place where you can post "I like pancakes" and someone will respond "WHY AREN'T DEMOCRATS DOING ANYTHING AND WHY AREN'T YOU PERSONALLY FREEING GAZA, AMERICA IS DOOMED AND THE TIDE OF BLOOD RISES" and then maybe, if you are lucky, in four hours, they will add "also why you hate waffles"

Dollars to donuts those edgelords have never organized an actual protest consisting of more than like five edgelord friends

Trump went for a Covid shot and then set the CDC on fire.

If that ain’t that asshole in a nutshell.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

an incontestable fact of the second trump administration is it is actively trying to sicken and kill as many americans as it can

This admin is bad at a ton of things, but I can't deny they are very good at the propaganda side. It's good to remind yourself to keep on your toes.

They know they won't be in power forever. So, they're breaking as much as they can right now, in the hope that whoever follows them won't be able to put it all back together.

I think a lot about how Michelle Obama remarked on regularly being in rooms with the most powerful and wealthy people in the world and her chief takeaway was that they're just not that smart

yes, the billionaire conspiracy continues to be the most underrated part of all this. Trump does not win, and certainly does not get away with all this, without the sudden turn in all the formerly liberal/moderate/apolitical billionaires buying up the media, buying votes, going all-in for trump

an administration ruling Congress with an “iron fist” would be able to pass a budget. Johnson is keeping the House in recess because things are going to go completely off the rails once Grijalva gets sworn in, and he knows it

It's just become unambiguously clear to me that liberal democracy cannot survive extreme wealth inequality.

These people need to be stripped of their assets.

it's important to always remember that every single humiliation and atrocity since January has happened because they either actively or passively enable it

all it takes to stop this insanity is peeling off a minority of GOP legislators

also we gave argentina $20B for no clear purpose

Steve Buscemi as Nikita Khrushchev saying “You are accused of doomer behavior. The court finds you guilty and sentences you to be shot.”

People are still doing “there aren’t going to be midterms” posts as we see these people struggle to handle a guy in a frog costume

I just approved major pieces of legislation to keep building more affordable housing.

Whether it's turning empty office buildings into residential spaces or building more homes near public transportation, we're doing all we can to lower the price to realize the California Dream.

He"s taking his nobel prize rage out on China

Key thing here is the idea that Stephen Miller and others are absolutely thrilled that Trump has lost a step, since it makes him easier to manipulate:

the way Republicans are in sync on ranting about and attacking #NoKings is a tell. A big tell

they're worried about the growing popular protests underway against their King

Their own polls must be showing the backlash - and they
they know their dearl leader has dementia and is flailing

lmao these pricks are all scared fucking shitless, fuck them, turn out on 10/18 in your best costume

First they ignore you
Then they laugh at you
Then they fight you
Then you win

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

They’re scared so they want to scare us.

For context: that airbase already hosts a small squadron of Singapore fighter jets.

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.
