Don't worry. I'm a good witch.
The Trump admin’s message is clear: We don’t care what you saw. You saw what we say you saw.
So is the subtext: Careful how you react. You don’t want to get on one of our lists, now do you?
Holy shit, friends. We are here.

My friends, if you have any room for it on this terrible day, here's a jigsaw of Miami Beach circa 1950s.
If I were still drinking, I'd raise a glass to the sweet naive Americans in all those glorious buildings. As it is, I'll shed a tear for them instead.

Masked GOV goons are gunning people down in the street while more than 200 million Americans face a deadly winter storm, but you'd never know it looking at Bluesky's "trending" lineup.

I guess we're going to see exactly how many people are with Mr. Trump and his Second American Civil War and how many are against him.
And yes, you will be picking a side if you haven't already.

I wish we had a POTUS who was urging everyone to stay safe in the forthcoming storm and reassuring us that FEMA and other fed agencies are working in full force with local teams to respond to this monster as it rolls across the country.
But no. Instead Trump & Co. are busy terrorizing 5-year-olds.

Duffy: "I can't mandate you dress up, but don't wear pajamas & slippers to the airport. If you dress a little better you behave a little better. We're all getting into tight airline seats. The prices go down when we do that. But I want people to be well behaved & Ia little better dressed would help"

Gee. Seems the algo bots will have to get a bit quicker on their feet.
Since Trump mumbled "never mind" in Davos regarding (ahem) America's forthcoming invasion of Greenland, so many of these insightful and topical posts are no longer relevant.
How long will the world tolerate this bullshit?

I just took a ride with Uber, and my driver is from Venezuela. He spent the whole trip expressing concern that the same shift from democracy to dictatorship he saw in Venezuela is happening right now in the United States. He’s absolutely incredulous that Americans are allowing it to happen.
