Well, Trump's hard-right regime has spoken. Congratulations America, you get to celebrate your independence by becoming a fascist police state that robs from the poor to further enrich the rich. In this dark national moment, please enjoy a lovely nursery cat protecting his plant paradise.

This Trump 2.0 move has some real "Slow the testing down, please!" energy.

Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago
Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

Under Trump's economic plan, people making between $17K and $51K could lose an average $700 in after-tax income, taking into account tax and social spending changes, according to a new study. Those make $4.3M or more would gain an average $389K. @tonyromm.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/u...

The Trump Tariffs are a regressive TAX.
The less you make, the harder they punch you in the face.

A great interview with so many helpful insights into the pathology of Trump and MAGA. Definitely worth a listen.
Here's the video for the first podcast episode I did with John and mistermix. It's long but it's a good conversation

Today, it was heartening to see so many Americans stand up against the Orange Dick-tator and his cruel regime. More days like today, please. Here are Galdalf and Oliver reminding you to rest well and hold your dear ones close. Happy Caturday! #Caturday

On the eve of the grim Enshittification of America, let's take a moment to appreciate the little things that warm our hearts. Cuddle with your pets, go for a walk, play with your kids, laugh with your friends. Do something good to distract you from all the dismal coronation coverage. Stay strong.

Endless lies, fear-mongering, cultural warfare, scapegoating, and grievance porn conned enough people into bringing down American democracy as we've known it. I'm still in mourning.

Brace yourself for the enshittification of America. MAGA can't let natural disasters bring us together. They attack scapegoats and tell lies to sew division. MAGA fascism grows stronger when the people are bitterly divided.

On a much lighter note, our cats seem to be getting along pretty well. They work hard to keep each other cozy.

This time, Orange Jesus and his poo flinging monkeys have sinister goals with detailed plans. Every news cycle clarifies how our government institutions will be torn down and sold for parts, how zealous loyalty will replace professional expertise, and how "alternative facts" will triumph over truth.

Prediction: Expect this inauguration speech to be a declaration of war on the American experiment we’ve taken for granted. It will be designed to inflict maximum shock and awe. A breathtaking preview of a scorched earth administration that will hammer out enduring power. 2 + 2 will equal 5.

Americans have never lived under such a hard-right regime. It will work relentlessly to stay in power. A government of “the right people,” by “the right people,” and for “the right people” shall not easily perish from the earth. By design, this national nightmare will take generations to unfuck.

Since the election, many people assure me that things won't change that much. I’ve repeatedly been told it won’t be as bad as all that. The collective shrug is nearly driving me mad. So many Americans seem to have no idea the country they take for granted is about to get kicked in the face.
