I've been frantically and painfully purging for a move, and a quick check-in tonight on my Bluesky political news feed feels like a reward.

This is maybe the first time I’ve felt he’s in actual trouble. I never thought Mueller would get him, nor did I expect Biden to go for the throat. I don’t know how it ends here, and I’m not saying he can’t get out of it. But it’s the worst trouble he’s been in.

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?
TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is
O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

The GOP campaigned on "We are better at government than the Democrats"
Enough voters believed them and gave them the keys to the government.
And now its "Its all Democrats' fault that we suck at governing"

being convinced that the wheels can never come off is exactly the kind of mentality needed to get the wheels to come off in a society as wealthy and developed as the united states
trump's invulnerability primarily functions through the consensus that he is invulnerable
I am losing my gd mind seeing the number of people on here who are so doompilled that they cannot imagine that telling millions of people, including tons of MAGAs, that they’re out of food money and they also can’t have health insurance anymore might have any effect whatsoever on anything

If you have food to share, please share. Donate pantry staples *that are actually desirable*. Spices are gold.
You can also cook extra meals. Every time I do this and ask NextDoor who needs a meal, they’re claimed within 10 minutes. This helps people who struggle to cook for themselves.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

starving over 40 million people right before major holidays + massively upping healthcare costs does strike me as a rather bold move this early in the authoritarian consolidation game for any given fascist regime, but I guess we’ll see what happens
