Really good overview of what is going on now.
From @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

I knew things were different this time as Jan 20 rolled around because we were basically to stop any conversation that wasn’t work related at work. Everyone was paranoid right away.

But I was told by so many major media outlets that Trump had nothing to do with it!
analysis by TIME found that nearly two-thirds of the executive actions Trump has issued so far mirror or partially mirror proposals from Project 2025 time.com/7209901/dona...

🚨 FOR A STORY, tell me about your best, pettiest, most trifling, most infuriating, most delicious GRUDGE against someone.
Did it start in high school? In your workplace? What triggered it?
How did you enforce it & punish this person? Did you confront them?
Why can't you let it go?
DMs open!! 🌚

Remember how virtually the entire legacy media let Trump claim, unchallenged, that he was pro-law enforcement, EVEN THOUGH he was running on a platform of pardoning cop assailants? EVEN THOUGH crime fell under Biden.
Holy hell you people are chumps.

Jimmy Carter's Enduring Humanity
The nation's 39th president died today at 100. His life of service and decency will long endure as a model for what an ex-president can do and be.

Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk's support of foreign workers has fueled a rift and growing war in MAGA revealing the movement's core identity of racial grievance and nativism. Bring on the popcorn.

Everything Elon does is always all about himself. If someone also benefits, it’s because he benefits more.

Exactly.
Elon was never a free speech absolutist...for us. It was about him saying and doing whatever he wants in life, in business, and online. We are all just his lessers to be ruled.

Members of the German neo-Nazi political group AfD plan to attend Trump’s inauguration.
They’ve actively been engaging with U.S. conservatives & trying to capitalize on Trump’s momentum. Keep an eye on this, especially in light of Elon’s newly discovered support of AfD.

And then people still wonder how Hitler gained power? It’s right in front of our faces.
The fact that Americans have a propensity to elect men who care mostly about serving themselves and their cronies rather than the common good will never be tolerable. That they are duped into believing that the common good is anti-American socialism makes this particularly galling.

If Musk gets to decide the make up of the Appropriations bill, the public he’s screwing over should get to decide the amount of future funding he gets in gov’t contracts. What’s fair is fair.

If Musk is able to dictate the shit down the government over a budget he doesn’t like, there is no telling where this will end. He’s a menace.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine
