NO DMs. Addicted to politics. Lover of political snarkery, plumbing the depths of idiocy. Hard to write with a sense of humor in the midst of MAGA/Trumpery...oh, wait...I have an acid pen around here somewhere...

Good Trouble is necessary.
Rise up!
Clyburn: "People better get serious about this. When he says he's not joking about throwing away the Constitution, which is what he'd have to do to have a third term, and we are not gonna rise up in opposition to that? I think it's time for us all to wake up."

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

The fight against President Musk (and Kennedy Center chairman Trump) is just starting. We’re mobilizing to show the strength of our movement. Together, we have the power to stop MAGA’s takeover. app.sosha.ai/s/KDPKuQgo

Trump turns White House lawn into car lot for megadonor Musk
It’s easy to get inured to the corruption, but hawking Teslas on the South Lawn was among the most obscene events in White House history.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is EVERYTHING the civilian pukes in the White House wish they were: masculine, powerful and charismatic. They hate him because his presence reveals their cosplay.

Zelenskyy will go down as one of the great heroic figures of the 21st century

EXACTLY.
I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Pay attention.
The U.S. economy added 2.23 million jobs in 2024, including 256,000 in the final full month of Biden's presidency.

There have been more jobs gained under Biden's term than under the full terms of Trump, Obama, or George W. Bush.

Biden is now at +16.1 million. www.axios.com/2025/01/10/i...
