Most on this site already distrust both Putin and Trump, but it's important to remember the excruciating details @nick-carmody.bsky.social lays out here. Detailed rebuttal, over and over again, is the only defense against the right wing messaging firehose of lies. They depend upon our exhaustion.
So a murderous psychopathic dictator.....
....who fixes elections (Putin "won" his 2024 election with 88% of the vote) and/or murders political opposition......
.....allegedly accepts NATO-like, Article 5 security protections for Ukraine....

Trump’s ICE just “mistakenly” kidnapped a man with protected status and no record married to a U.S. citizen with a disabled child who is a citizen and sent him to an El Salvadoran hard labor prison — and say they can’t do anything about it

Quite a fun moment when the security contractors who had been terminated by the USIP but had switched their allegiances to DOGE entered the property with an unconfiscated key and headed immediately to the gun safe.

Well said, @mherskovitz.bsky.social .
1) Great thread: @Nick_Carmody takes on Curtis Yarvin, who's becoming famous because of the Silicon Valley narcissists who delight in him. Yarvin is a neo-fascist and master of sophistry. But most of all - yes, I'll say it - Yarvin is a Jew who forgets he's a Jew. Before--
Watching Yarvin pontificate in his leather jacket reminded me of a 6th year senior......still living in the dorms…
....pulling bong hits with 18 year old freshmen who are blown away by his "enlightened" brilliance...
....because they lack the life experience to call "bullshit".

To borrow the baseball term of "hitting it out of the park", @nick-carmody.bsky.social just hit a 600 foot home run over a 385 foot wall. Tremendous and must read thread.

The millions of his "following" who are about to lose their medical and SSI benefits who are simultaneously cheering for this, quite honestly baffles me. Will they still be cheering when they can no longer take their children to the doctor or purchase a loaf of bread?
Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."

Maybe, someday, we'll be able to arrive at an accurate number of people who, quite literally voted for their own deaths.
Yesterday, Trump said: "Medicare, Medicaid — none of that stuff is going to be touched." But this morning he backed the House GOP budget resolution, which includes at least $880 billion in draconian #Medicaid cuts. www.politico.com/live-updates...
Trump backs House budget plan, calls on Senate to stand down
"We need both Chambers to pass the House Budget," he posted on Truth Social.

The next move will probably be taking down the Kennedy name and replacing it with his. I wish I were joking.
President Trump made himself chairman of the Kennedy Center in Washington. The performing arts center then fired its president, officials said.
Trump Made Chair of Kennedy Center as Its President Is Fired
The president solidified his grip on the performing arts complex as the center’s longtime president, Deborah F. Rutter, was fired.

Precisely.
Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre shook the country to its core.
Today's upheaval in the DOJ is far worse. It should turn Republicans in the senate against Trump and cause Bondi to be fired.
But it won't even last one news cycle.
Because Trump has already cowed the media.

Many long COVID patients adjust to slim recovery odds as world moves on
There are certain phrases that Wachuka Gichohi finds difficult to hear after enduring four years of living with long COVID, marked by debilitating fatigue, pain, panic attacks and other symptoms so severe she feared she would die overnight.

Also as I said just now in conversation with @joyannreid.bsky.social @gtconway.bsky.social Wray said he is resigning so FBI is not dragged "further into the fray" but it was Trump who created that "fray" by illegally storing classified docs at his home. Why let Trump control the narrative?
I admire how Chris Wray has hung in there—but he should’ve made Trump fire him
