The TACO trade must've made billions for insiders today.

With all the other awfulness, we don't even bother to talk about the rampant corruption under Trump – by Trump and his family, and all the corrupt billionaires in his orbit.

If this had been Biden ...
Not just a single misspeak ... 3 times in the same speech after he did it yesterday.
The world is going down the tubes because nobody with the power to do it (spineless Republicans plus corporate & billionaire enablers) is willing to stop this demented old fool.

@govmurphy.bsky.social What a disappointment you are. Not just the 2 immigrant protection bills you killed. But you helped degrade government transparency in your 2nd term. Cozied up to Norcross. Tried (and thankfully failed) to force a nepo Senator on us. 1/2

“Top Catholic Clerics Denounce U.S. Foreign Policy”

Secretary of State Rubio and VP Vance are Catholic. As are most of the right wing SCOTUS justices. Are they *good* Catholics?

Just kidding. The only god they serve is Trump.

Trump is a terrorist.
You can’t negotiate with terrorists.
You must confront them with power.
Whatever power you have at hand.
Even if it’s just your middle finger.

The Nobel committee should give a prize to the first reporter brave enough to ask Trump: “You’re threatening war against one of your closest allies because you didn’t get the peace prize you wanted? Do you understand how childish and insane that is?”

Or at least a Pulitzer.

@govmurphy.bsky.social sign all 3 immigrant protection bills!
We need them NOW as ICE continues its violent rampages. If the new guv wants changes, she can always propose them to the legislature.

As ICE continues to terrorize our neighborhoods, we MUST defend our communities. That means making the immigrant protections bill package law in our state.

Governor Murphy, sign these bills now.

Never forget that the fascism we’re facing is stupid fascism. Led by really stupid people. We will defeat them.

Gutting OPRA and abetting secrecy about campaign money are unforgivable sins committed by Murphy and too many NJ Dem enablers. The new guv and legislature must reverse those moves.

Trump will do whatever he has the POWER to do. Not legal authority, but POWER. If his ICE and CBP goons do his bidding regardless of any law, and if the military obeys illegal orders, that's the power he will exploit for his own benefit.

We must understand that as we fight back. So must Congress.

I've been to plenty of anti-fascist protests this year. One thing that seems in short supply is MUSIC. So I'm working up a short list of sing-a-long tunes to play on my ukulele.

Number one is "All You Fascists Bound to Lose" (Woody Guthrie).

What songs would you suggest?
