Some are saying Democrats shouldn't attend Donald Trump's State of the Union.

I disagree.

They should attend. And the minute he starts speaking, start getting up, one-by-one, and solemnly leave the chamber.

It will be all anyone talks about the next day. And will drive Donald crazy.

I’m so fucking ashamed of my country.
This just happened in the Oval Office:
 
Trump, Vance, and Zelenskyy all raised their voices, shouting over each out.
 
Trump and Vance told Zelenskyy: "You have to be thankful. You don't have the cards."
 
Trump mocked Zelenskyy – to his face, saying, "I don't want a cease fire."

Elon Musk & his team of hackers have hijacked your personal information. Musk - who no one elected - is going to decide what he thinks should be cut from the U.S. government. We are all being held hostage by a rogue government who couldn’t care less about anyone but their own billionaire interests.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Trump and Billionaires are making the US unto their ATM and piggy bank and the MAGA rubes are applauding as the robbers are stealing all their cookies.

Appointing wildly incompetent people to your cabinet is just another way of trolling the people who didn't vote for you. America be damned.

People outside of LA truly don’t understand how apocalyptic this is. It’s worse than it’s ever been. Entire residential neighborhoods are burning to the ground.

A millionaire co-founder of real estate investment firm, who bragged about not paying taxes, offered to throw cash at any concierge private fire department to protect only *his* house.

We are living in the age of selfish plutocrats.

We’ve learned that the person involved in the tragedy in New Orleans was a U.S citizen radicalized by ISIS.

Does this not infuriate you? Trump doesn’t give a damn about us, he’s intentionally misleading the country and using people’s pain for his own political gain.

my armchair psychological diagnosis is that the drive to accumulate as much wealth as possible eats away at the drive for self-improvement or the internal desire to cultivate any skills or tastes. these people build huge mounds of treasure and then essentially just sit around looking at it, empty.
find it genuinely delighting that people with enough money to never work again (and do literally anything they want anywhere in the world at any time) seemingly have nothing going on in their lives and are so miserable they are just spending the holidays frantically posting

Glad MAGA voters are hearing what Musk, Vivek, and the elites of the GOP think of them. They've always looked down on Trump voters. They mock them as stupid and ignorant behind their backs. Now Musk is calling them "contemptible fools."

Well, here's your new master, MAGA. Enjoy.

Rarely in life do you get 10 minutes to dunk on Vivek, Musk, and the MAGA civil war, but Christmas came two days late apparently. Was able to do just that tonight on MSNBC. Thanks to guest host Jason Johnson for the invite.

I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts and real estate”.

Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

In Defense of Mockery
Donald Trump is unnerved by "President Musk." It signals that mockery, ridicule, & humor remain some of the most effective weapons to cut down, humiliate, & weaken aspiring authoritarians and tyrants.

1. Mark Zuckerberg was once a champion for the undocumented, starting an entire org to push for a path to citizenship

"Mass deportation is absurd on its face and these policies are indefensible on human, economic, and political grounds"

Now Zuckerberg has embraced Trump

Donald Trump campaigned for a second term on a pledge to carry out the "largest deportation effort in American history" starting on his first day in office.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.
