@aoc.bsky.social Please help eliminate the presidential pardon. It’s a travesty of justice.

Donald Trump is a despicable human. This just emphasizes his narcissism and stupidity. He’s a 5 year old. From NYT:
“I hope he runs,” Mr. Trump said on Air Force One on Sunday, noting that he had met recently with Mr. Sununu in the Oval Office. “He’s been very nice to me over the last year or so.”

Bill Ackman freaking out about tariffs and saying "this isn't what we voted for" is as clear a crystallization of conservative self-delusion as you could ever ask for. Yes it is you idiot, you voted specifically for this! He talked about this NON STOP

Donald Trump granted a pardon to the scum of the earth—among them a virulent antisemite who, on January 6th, wore a shirt that read: Camp Auschwitz.
Disgraceful.
Disgraceful.

And—in particular—don’t be silent for the sake of being polite. We’re not taking about politics in the ordinary sense anymore. This is about decency and morality and whether or not this country chooses to become a thoroughly criminalized state instead of an imperfect representative democracy.
You can't shame MAGA. It's impossible to shame shameless people. I go on and debate them, trust me. They will make excuses for and glorify Musk's Nazi salute and Trump pardoning violent insurrectionists. But remember there's a world out there - and the majority opposes it. Be loud. Don't be silent.

Remember:
It can be sad. It can be tragic. It can be disgusting and depressing and discouraging.
But it doesn’t have to mean this is who we are now. It’s what our country is doing right now and that’s not the same as who we are.
Who we are isn’t up to him.

Love this from The NY Times. The President of Mexico has a good sense of humor.
President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico showed a world map dating from 1607 which labeled North America as Mexican America.
“Why don’t we call it Mexican America? It sounds pretty, no?”
