WTF? who's running this country? I mean what used to be our country? what used to be a liberal democracy?

On 1-20-25 this country will start all kinds of disfunction, disarray, criminality, hate, corruption and misery as fascism makes it’s move to dismantle democracy and everything that makes America great.
**What will NOT help: Giving up.**
Giving up insures all of the above and much more. #Resist

Urgent action is needed to curb Trump’s anti-climate agenda A serious concern is that Donald Trump will start to dismantle United States government scientific bodies and research programmes that don’t suit hi...

“While the situation looks grim on many fronts, there is much that can be done to reduce the negative impacts of a new Trump-led government – and the time to act is now.”

We Must Face Down the Expanding Anti-Reality Industry Exposing the antiscience playbook reveals the antiregulatory motives of its deep-pocketed bankrollers

What seems abundantly clear, though, especially after last month’s election, is that scientific facts alone won’t be nearly enough to reverse the growing power of an emotion-driven, anti-reality reality.

Thanks for following along. Thoughts? 🧪22/22

As someone who has actually taken the time to read about science and scientists under the Nazis … this is so painfully incompetent and a classic example of why authoritarians don’t want anyone to know history.

Carry on sucking up to Nazis tho Science 🔭 🧪

This article, which contains not one critical commentator and reads like a press release, is a shocking dereliction of duty from one of our leading scientific publications 🧪 🔭

China Announces a Ban on Rare Minerals to the U.S. The move escalates supply chain warfare and comes a day after the Biden administration expanded curbs on the sale of advanced American technology to China.

Influenza A(H5N1) shedding in air corresponds to transmissibility in mammals - Nature Microbiology Spillover of avian A(H5N1) influenza virus to mammals may favour adaptation to these new hosts. Air sampling of infected ferrets shows that recent A(H5N1) strains, including one from a human case link...

It's 5yrs since the first cases of COVID were reported in Wuhan China. It is clear that we will never fully recover from the collective trauma inflicted by a global pandemic. I had hope we would be trying to avoid another one, sadly that's not the case #H5N1 #airborne

Finally, and perhaps most ironically, RFK Jr. wrote of Trump: “We don’t know what shape the next crisis will take, but we know there will be one. When it happens, we need a leader who can be trusted to stand for peace, to stand for freedom, and to stand for truth.” 🧪

RFK Jr. went on to say of Trump: "He said he’d drain the swamp; instead he filled his government with corporate insiders. He said he’d cut the deficit, but bloated it instead." 🧪

RFK Jr. has more or less called the first Trump term a failed administration. Folks often say Trump is filling his cabinet with loyalists. But disloyalty toward the existing government might be even more important than loyalty to Trump. 🧪 #medsky

As though my phone was listening AND reading my Bluesky posts (!) this just popped up in my YouTube feed right after listening to @dailybeanspod.bsky.social
She’s done the heavy lift on finding out who supported the Cheeto & SuperPACs. youtu.be/vz6lHO4ezy8?...

This is pretty illustrative of how pundits have treated this whole administration.

They all asked for pardons.

I don't think we need to have any more discussions about "norms" and "precedent." What we need to do is prepare to sue the shit out of this administration in a zillion places in an attempt to sabotage it until we can flip Congress in 2026.

Stop calling them the “J6ers.”
Call them the January 6th terrorists.
Because that is what they are.

I shudder to think what he would do to rape prevention programs in the Military.

Trump just announced Tiffany's father-in-law will serve as Senior Advisor to the President on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.

New Rule: You shall not complain about Hunter Biden's pardon on my feed unless you also admit the Supreme Court pardoned Trump for a coup.

"Way to go, Joe!" Says Rep Jasmine Crockett about the pardon of Hunter Biden. "We have a 34 count convicted felon that's about to walk into the WH. So for anyone who wants to clutch their pearls now, I would say take a look in the mirror."

We’re not accepting complaints about the Hunter Biden pardon unless you also complained about the Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, and Paul Manafort pardons.

Takes like this are nuts. How did Trump justify his last couple hundred pardons, one more nakedly obscene, political and personal than the next? Answer - he didn’t. Trump doesn’t bother justifying or explaining anything He does what he wants. Always has, always will. Wake up.

Trump pardoned his son-in-law's daddy, his campaign manager who lied to protect him, his NSA who lied to protect him, his Coffee Boy who lied to protect him, his rat-fucker who lied to protect him, & his former campaign manager who had just helped him launch an insurrection.

The convicted felon who just got away with his crimes has words about a “miscarriage of justice.”

Yes

Russell Vought, former Trump staffer, Project 2025 author & Incoming White House budget chief says the quiet part out loud. They want a "Shadow Government" so Trump will be able to perform illegal (and violent) actions as President - like shooting protesters. We will not obey in advance.

Trump pardoned Jared Kushner's dad while Jared worked in the White House, then yesterday appointed Jared's dad as an ambassador, but Polis didn't have the same energy for that. Pathetic stuff that I for one won't soon forget.
