It's really funny when the president jokes about murdering people, see.
Trump: "The problem is nobody wants to go fishing anymore. They don't want to get in boats. They don't want anything to do with boats. I think we've destroyed the boat market. Other than that it's been very effective."

Pretty impressive that through this entire scandal and press blitz, RFK Jr. hasn't lost focus on his life's work of shortening the life expectancy of the average American and endangering the lives of children.

Rainbow Railroad is a charity that helps LGBTQ+ people escape persecution.
According to a report in the Guardian, calls to Rainbow Railroad from the United States have surged 760% since Trump was elected.
People are terrified. They don’t feel safe.
The US is now a country people need to flee.

Q: "Do you have plans for Chicago this week?"
Trump: "No. Not really. We're going to go some place, but we're picking."

Visiting my parents for the holiday has resulted in hanging out with my nephew, taking selfies with him in the Verizon store and him making friends with the skeletons my sister in law wanted. Seriously, this little dude is the absolute best.

attorney general mike "rank democracy" lee would gladly turn federal law enforcement against trump's enemies while intoning about the "original intent of founders"
Current cabinet appointments I'm most worried about are
—RFK Jr for HHS
—Thomas Homan (ICE family separation architect) for Homeland Security
—Mike Lee/John Ratcliff at Attorney General
Not that the other ones are good to be clear, just replacement-level bad instead of uniquely horrible

Trump is retooling his campaign into a neo-Nazi battle cry, but Harris is slow to respond
Trump's rhetoric is no longer merely anti-democratic or even fascist, but genocidal.
