From @wthrcom.bsky.social: how about we bad capital punishment instead with reforms to our current system? The death penalty is not acceptable for many reasons. It is legal in some states and not in others. The government shouldn’t kill either.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Why do you appreciate unions?

I’ll start:

Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

We went from a country that defended others from being invaded for their natural resources, to a country that is now threatening to invade others for their natural resources.

Insurance companies prioritize profits over health outcomes.

This cannot continue to be the case. We have to fight for change.

Profit comes from limiting health care, not extending it.

We need to change our priorities.

MTG is a hell of a lot smarter than DJT,
and a hell of a lot more dangerous.

The media built DJT into a King.
Now they are building MTG into a queen. Too many liberals are helping them.

We are the only ones that can stop it. Listen to AOC and Crocket.

No Kings.
No Queens.

Oh, lord, Google Translate Gate is here! Are we surprised at this point?! No.

Now, my students will be like “Our government uses Google Translate, which means we can, too, right?!”

Foreign policy built on Google Translate is not foreign policy. It is guesswork.

I am concerned that the White House is using Google Translate (or similar) to process sensitive Russian documents connected to national security.

A very good catch by The Guardian on Russianisms that make the “peace deal” sound like it escaped from a Russian grammar workbook and got run over by Google Translate on the way out.

I’d add “NATO expansion” - their trademark phrase, not “NATO enlargement.”

So the US took the Russian input and auto-translated it with Google Translate before it was leaked.

A lot of the people lamenting Marjorie Taylor Greene’s departure from Congress—and celebrating her as some kind of principled maverick—are going to end up eating their words when she reemerges in 2028 to help lead a pro-groper, pro-Fuentes “America First” faction of the GOP.

Pete Buttigieg would be a good DNC spokesperson.

He would do a GREAT job of going around the country, being on TV all the time, and putting out Dem messaging on EVERY issue.

He would be an excellent counter-Leavitt. And we NEED one. He should be holding regular press conferences and putting

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
