Nothing sums up America under Republican rule like turning a place of history and strength into a strip mall food court.

Trump:

On war criminal Putin: “I’ve always had a fantastic relationship with him”

On sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell: “I wish her well”

On pedophile Epstein: “He’s a lot of fun to be with”

On J6: “It was a day of love”

To everyone who has enabled this evildoer, a pox on you and your houses.

Fox News falls for it hook, line, and sinker.

Release the Epstein files.

And hate

YES!

Good use of receipts, @gtconway.bsky.social. More please. More. I love it.

Double.

IMO social media has increased authoritarianism as group identities encourage inflexibility, self-righteous moral certainty and punitive behavior in response to disagreement.

This is very well put

For some reason, I was just thinking about how Trump’s former chief of staff tried to warn us right before the election that Trump was a fascist who wanted to rule us like a dictator … and the New York Times put that story on page A12

Parents in Gaza Are Running Out of Ways to Feed Their Children: ‘All We Want Is a Loaf of Bread’

81 years ago, America's bravest generation stormed the beaches of Normandy in hopes of freeing Europe from the clutches of a brutal authoritarian.

Today, we face authoritarianism on our shores. We owe it to ourselves, our country, and that great generation to fight for freedom here at home.

He’s currently plating the Oval Office in gold while selling luxury dinners at his private golf club to rich foreigners who buy his personal crypto token. You know, poor people shit.

It really shouldn’t be a surprise that the pope’s stated values are antithetical to Republicans because the teachings of Jesus as I learned them in Catholic school contained a lot more empathy and caring than what we see from the modern GOP

I can't get over the irony of Trump calling anything bullshit.

Will he also buy a windmill for his yard?

It's just enormously important to understand that the goal of this tariff policy isn't to raise money or to increase manufacturing in the United States. The goal is to make some of the nation's largest companies subject to Trump's personal discretion and dependent on his favor.

Anyone can dismantle buildings, relationship, institutions, alliance, hope, etc, Creating, developing, or nurturing anything requires will, vision, purpose, and patience. Donald Trump is a spoilt and petulant toddler, not a leader. I am so embarrassed.
