Nah. As one official from Trump’s last administration famously put it, Trump doesn’t play “the sort of three-dimensional chess people ascribe to [him]. More often than not he's just eating the pieces.”

This starter pack is a must follow. It's a group of the people I admire most on Bluesky, starting with @rotterdamvvg.bsky.social herself, 1 of the kindest, most brilliant & compassion content creators I know. Her writing is spectacular & she's funny & creative as heck!
I'm excited to share this starter pack of democratic leaders, activists, content creators, and grassroots voices.
Uniting and staying informed will be key in the next 4 years.
If this one takes off, I will do more packs, including grassroots.

In the space of 24 hours, Naomi Wolf has claimed that the fires in LA are an actual war or foreign invasion, a plot to kill people to destroy evidence of Covid vaccine adverse effects, weather manipulation, a deliberate bombing campaign, and mass spraying of mood stabilisers.

"Being lawless does not make Trump omnipotent – & obscuring that distinction is an act of defeatism that only serves the regime. There's a vast gulf between Trump’s authoritarian aspirations and rightwing propaganda on the one hand & the realities of a complex modern state and society on the other."
"There is, unfortunately, no law of nature that says democracy can’t be brought down & wars can’t be started by a bunch of clowns if they have enough support from people, parties, & institutions who enable them. It’s all just a farce – until the goons & buffoons are in power. That’s where we are."
Navigating the Nonsense and Propaganda of Clownish Authoritarianism
Ignoring what Trump says won’t work. Constant outrage is not a viable strategy either. We must find a more productive way to engage Trump’s dangerous outlandishness

“The combined area burned by this week’s fires is larger than each of the city limits of San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Boston or Miami.”
L.A. Wildfires Live Updates: Winds Intensify as Death Toll Rises to 16
Crews were working tirelessly to stop the fires, one of which burned at least one home and threatened others in the Brentwood neighborhood. The stronger winds will likely hamper their efforts.

Moochers in red. All the loudest Federal Government haters are the states who depend on federal subsidies paid from the taxes collected from predominantly blue states.
