Not my prez

Stephen Miller and Homan’s goal is to shock and awe blue cities to terrify whole communities. They’ll deliberately targeting businesses, schools, hospitals churches and other places of worship. They want Americans to be afraid. Mayors and governors must stand up to them. Lawyers get on standby.

LA Times headline: Estimated cost of fire damage in Southern California balloons to more than $250 billion

elon musk could single-handedly rebuild los angeles and still have about $200 billion left over but tell me again how the rich need another tax cut

Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified nominee for Secretary of Defense in modern history.

He should be rejected by the Senate.

Epic courage here.

How does any of this address the problems facing Americans: cost of groceries, cost of meds, cost of healthcare, cost of childcare, schools needing improvement, teachers salaries etc

For Reals

🤞🙏

I’ll be posting this today

CNN reports that the January 6 criminals have been told they are invited to attend inaugural balls tonight. They are going to be released from the D.C. jail momentarily.

All are insurrectionists.

We are not a democracy anymore, folks. We do not have rule of law.

No one “accidentally” Nazi salutes.

Not once.
Sure as shit not twice.

Who agrees? ✋

Hi, I’m God.

I had nothing to do with saving that guy’s life or making him president.

This is the cowardice of The New York Times. Legacy media is failing.

The Contrarian Press Release January 13, 2025

Here is the press release announcing the launch of The Contrarian, including list of contributors.

In Praise of California It has its flaws — what place doesn’t? — but it plays a big role in America’s greatness

"California paid in a lot more [to the federal government] than it got back — $83 billion in total. So did Washington state and much of the Northeast. Most red states were in the reverse position, getting much more from DC than they paid in return."

News!

I just want to say that @maddow.msnbc.com has been so incredibly kind to me and I’m very excited she’s back to five days a week.

Stay away from windows

There are 3000 counties in US and ~500 of them are blue. They house half the population and generate 72% of American wealth. They are the hubs for innovation and economic activity. If you want to live in a backwater, that’s fine, but drop the piety.

Trump’s punishment for his crimes? None | Moira Donegan At many points, it looked as if he never would be sentenced. That he was sentenced to nothing, then, is itself a small victory

Being a felon is a punishment with restrictions on rights. But the "voters," insured he would get a job that left this nonpunishment. Don't blame the judge for this. It is a broken system. Most felons have trouble getting a job in a car wash.

Last time the U.S. invaded Canada, the White House ended up burned down. Don’t mistake politeness for passivity, you hoser.

$1,131,794,901

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Except that Canada is never going to be a state, and continuing to discuss it after the Canadians have made clear it's not happening sounds a lot like professing a rooting interest for a war crime or coddling the dementia of a career criminal, adjudicated rapist, serial sexual predator and sociopath

He’s a complete crackpot.

Re: “Gulf of America” 🥴

After a historian briefly chronicled Mexico’s territorial history, President Sheinbaum, with a 1607 map, says of the United States:

"Why don't we call it "America Mexicana?" It sounds nice, right?”

Ngl, I’d be okay with it for a few days just to watch the MAGA meltdown. ❄️
