If you can’t understand why your black friends aren’t as worked up as you right now, you don’t have black friends, you have black acquaintances.

My latest for @liberalcurrents.com

We need to stop listening to commentators who spent a decade being arrogantly wrong about the fascist threat

Trump ‘Alarmists’ Were Right. We Should Say So.
Commentators who got it wrong wouldn’t listen, won’t learn, and can’t lead.

When I say “I’m holding space for that” I’m definitely not.

Nero fiddling.
The White House has just released a new official statement as the economy crashes:

“The President won his second round matchup of the Senior Club Championship today in Jupiter, FL, and advances to the Championship Round tomorrow.”

Never in my wildest imaginings would I have thought the symbol of middle class status in the USA would be the ability to cook oneself a 2 egg breakfast on a Saturday morning. How far we’ve fallen since my childhood in the 1980s. #arewegreatyet

But hey, they are sure owning us libs now.
This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

What’s that DOGEbag hotline for reporting fraud, waste, and abuse?

I just saw a bumper sticker that said “Have the day you voted for.”

The problem is that I’m having the day you voted for too, dumbass.

If the federal gov is gone, maybe the dema should focus on the blue states. Solidify their strongholds, make inroads where they can, and let the deep ted states whither in abject ruin. Stop trying to save people who don’t want to be saved.

How do you spell extortion?
“Our Justice System is betrayed when it is misused to achieve political ends.”

Like, for instance, an executive order targeting a specific law firm backed by a weaponized DoJ?
This is wild. Trump says he’s withdrawing his executive order targeting the Paul Weiss law firm because they acknowledged “wrongdoing.”

They’re also going to provide “$40 million in pro bono legal services over the course of President Trump's term to support the Administration's initiatives”

So, this happened.
Yes, it’s illegal.
Yea, it’s a bad idea.
Yes, I want magats to do it.
The Commerce Secretary of the US is telling people to go out and buy stock in a specific company on national television.

This is why I think Putin has something on Trump. I don’t know what, but it’s something so ruinous that Trump will do anything for him.
Putin made Trump wait almost two hours. Their phone call was supposed to have taken place already, but Putin was still at a conference. When Putin is reminded of the meeting, everyone starts laughing; they're literally mocking Trump.

I am terrified that magats are going to start a race war. There just isn’t enough spray tan to keep me from getting hit by friendly fire from the side I will be joining.

In all likelihood the democracy we know is gone. It’s time to adapt to a new reality in which there is no security under the rule of law, no opportunity absent money, and economic or environmental future for our children.
Dictator shit

The Republicans are 100% responsible for this. They have brought fascism to America through an orange turnip and project 2025. The Democrats are lame-ass motherfuckers but the Republicans are 100% responsible for the downfall of America

Did Chuck consider even for a second that the added $12b in the CR is so Trump can deploy the US military against people on US soil (including citizens)? @jasmineforus.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @katieporteroc.bsky.social
