Apparently, what we have in the US right now is a case of "Three Stooges Syndrome." All of Trump's crimes are in perfect balance, so none of them can land him in prison.

🫩 Praying for that slight breeze.

This is how it's done in proper countries like South Korea. You try to overthrow democracy by declaring martial law, you die in prison. ♥️🇰🇷

Don't literally breathe easy though. You may need to invest in a respirator.

When I wrote a book about cats and fascism I didn’t think it would end up being translated into multiple languages and sold around the world. Or that it would be an international best seller.

Guys, I think I've finally figured this out. When Melania was "dating" Trump back in 2001, she was actually awarded the 𝘌𝘱𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘪𝘯 Visa. Epstein.
What is the Einstein visa? And how did Melania Trump get one?
In 2001 Melania Knauss scored a coveted visa reserved for people of "extraordinary ability".

"Virginia Giuffre… has died by suicide, her family said Friday."

"Epstein, a wealthy financier, died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019…"

"Brunel… died by suicide in his jail cell in February 2022."

Can we stop parrotting this BS? At the very leaset, say "apparent suicide."

I just went and voted for James Talarico! The biggest thing I look for is where their funding is coming from. @jamestalarico.bsky.social seems legit.
FCC Chairman Carr is “thinking”of removing the Equal Time rule exception for TV talk shows (but not right-wing talk radio), so CBS wouldn’t let Stephen Colbert air this interview with Texas senate candidate James Talarico. Let’s Streisand Effect the hell out of it on YT.

💯 I couldn't give two shits about whatever American "English-Scotts-Irish" culture is supposed to mean. My culture—the "common culture" of the USA—is a melting pot, and THAT'S why people come here, you nazi piece of shit!

The US is actually more bilingual than Canada!

Statehood for Puerto Rico! 🇺🇸🇵🇷
It's also part of a very direct negation of the latest stupid tweet by Musk: people have given so much, two of them their lives, to defend a multicultural city and the rights of people not exactly like them. And that multiculturalism is American culture.

I'm working on a new #Ozghard board game app that plays with some of the same psychological mechanisms he's talking about here.

The big takeaway: Attacking wrongdoers feels good and is chemically addictive. It also lowers our perception of systematic injustice.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

You owe it to all your students and alumni to salvage your school's reputation and condemn this bullshit. Botstein obviously doesn't care about any of you or he would have resigned already.

When I hear people talking about how the Trump regime can't do this or that horrible thing because of the Constitution or the courts or whatever, I just can't understand it.

Not only has the US descended to the same level of lawlessness as Putin's regime, THEY LITERALLY GOT TRUMP ELECTED!!!
