America does not need a ‘resistance,’ or stale slogans, or people putting those slogans on little paddles. It needs an opposition party that boldly defends the nation’s virtues, the rule of law, and the rights of its people.

First day after a major storm disaster with fatalities & destruction across multiple states and Trump goes to a car race in Florida.
Second day after a major disaster and Trump plays golf in FL.
Dozens of posts about himself during that time.
Not one word about the disaster.

There is going to come a time in the very near future where the only way to resolve this is for every non-MAGA media company to band together and simply refuse to walk into the presser or attend the event. Because he wants the coverage more than anything else. Divided you fall.

As social media sites X and Bluesky become increasingly politically polarized, most MLB fans can find their favorite team on either platform. Phillies fans cannot.

You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

I’d like to see more major-media reports on how the involvement of Elon Musk with a) the Presidential Transition, b) the House Republican Conference, c) the Senate Republican Conference, and d) lobbyists is already unlike anything America has ever seen with a non-government adviser. 100% horrifying.

Friendly reminder: The USG spends $290 billion on personnel. If you fired EVERYONE who worked for the federal government, you’d save 5% of the budget. You know where most of it goes? Defense and back to us in Social Security and Medicare.

So, apparently one way of messing with people here is to put them on block lists - so if you’re going to use a block list, you might want to check ahead to make sure you’re not blocking people you’d like to follow.
