I'm on the left. I've been to way too many rallies and protests down in DC to be putting up with this crap.

What a mess.
All the windowlickers praising Trump’s move yesterday…

He's an idiot.
We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.

Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Now I understand the attraction of the cult. Some of this stuff bothers me, too.

They try to silence us, hold us back, and strip away our rights, but women always fight back. This #WomensHistoryMonth, we’re doubling down, because when women lead, we all move forward.

Great news.
Given that Bezos just did a full takeover of @washingtonpost.com and now it can only report that America and money are great--today is a great day to cancel if you have it, you check to make sure you aren't paying for a forgotten subscription.

President Musk
THIS is how you write about the absurdity of this administration.

It’s brilliant prose, full of irony and subtle humor, with a meticulous eye for the farcical details. No other approach could have adequately captured what happened in that room.

All who chronicle this era should take note.

If your representative is dodging in-person town halls, call them out! Tag them and demand they face their constituents.

We better start fighting before it's too late.
Trump used the last four years to turn the GOP into an anti-democratic war machine. And he is not done wreaking havoc. That is the stark reality we face. If we truly care about the future of free and fair elections, we must take the threat Trump poses to our elections literally and seriously.

Scary
Curtis Yarvin has influenced some prominent Silicon Valley investors and Republican politicians, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, Elon Musk, JD Vance, and others in the Trump administration. It’s cult-like.
