2026 can stop being 2025 any time now thank you very much.
The “Great Experiment” of America seems to have been how much can Trump and his villains exploit the system for their own good before they’re stopped. Given the unprecedented degree of lawfare they’ve prosecuted against the country, one question looms:
What’s to prevent it from happening again?

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

It’d be nice if Trump’s minions would usher him off stage immediately after a gaff the way they do when he craps his pants.

Thinking about this. Most of the denizens on X look at bluesky like an echo chamber but i’m hopeful it’s a lifeboat of fact-based reporting and moderate opinions that can’t survive the madness there.
2028 primary season is going to be interesting. The candidate that deliberately takes strategic steps to diminish and marginalize X will have my attention (this all goes for all Dems running in 2026).
if you spend any significant amount of time on X the everything app, your brain is being cooked

Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA.
Facts that bear repeating.

The Dem leadership needs to start acting like the 13-year old Aussie teen who swam several miles through shark-invested waters to save his family.

This. The admin miscalculates MAGA as being ALL of the people because of their *mandate* after winning a second term.
Pew finds 60% oppose pausing visas and 66% oppose nixing asylum! People overinterpreted 2024 as a seismic shift to Trump on immigration. But the data is showing very broad opposition to the restrictionist, ethnonationalist, anti-humanitarian aspects of Trumpism. 5/5

fun fact: Trump has also made almost 3x as much as NC has been given in federal aid since hurricane Helene hit here (1.5b).
“President* Trump has made over $4 BILLION by illegally trading access to the White House to get rich. He controls the Dept of Justice and the Congress so he won’t be held accountable — until he doesn’t control the Dept of Justice and Congress.” @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

“Not so long ago, Ammon Bundy was the most famous right-wing militia leader in America … But Bundy’s criticism of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown now threatens to make him a pariah within his own community,” Jacob Stern reports:
The Right-Wing Militia Leader Who Opposes ICE
Ammon Bundy’s criticism of the Trump administration has left him out of step with his own community.

Old enough to remember when Mike Johnson shut down Congress so Rep. Adelita S. Grijalva couldn’t be sworn in and push for the Epstein files to be released.
THAT’S HOW MUCH SHIT HAS HAPPENED SINCE OCTOBER.
