Maybe I’m wrong…But Trump endorsing Cuomo seems like something that would sink him even further more than anything else.

look at their fucking costumes…They can’t even get that right. All of the men’s costumes are Spirit Halloween “pimp” level gunk. Desperate, tasteless sycophants. If only it had ended in a shunting ala “Society”.

The combined wealth of the 10 richest people in America jumped $698 billion over the past year.

This figure was supercharged by Donald Trump’s tax giveaways to his fellow billionaires.

He’s a man so beyond intoxicated by his grotesque wealth that he is able to bypass humanity and the weight of his own power entirely and is instead fueled purely by his own loathing for mankind. He is a perversely damaged man.

You’re starting to see the reality hitting your standard news sources in cities. Reports like this are crucial. The basic message: “Trump and Billionaires are destroying American lives”:

The welfare state is about dignity, equality, and making people not poor, but as @itsafronomics.bsky.social says/cites here, it’s often also an investment that more than pays for itself

Why should you 🫵🏿 care about SNAP? SNAP recipients saw:

- Improved life expectancy
- Lower chance of incarceration
- Lowers chance of poverty
- Lived in better neighborhoods
- Higher human capital

SNAP keeps our neighbors fed, communities safer, and kids educated. Also people are HUNGRY. DUH!

Senator, I have a great respect for your dedication. But these “No Mr President” posts are growing old. Yes, we all know what he’s doing to destroy this country. The question isn’t whether that’s true or not, or holding massive rallies…It’s this: What can actually be done to stop him?

If you have to draw attention to how “classy” someone is in “private”, they likely are not.

A horrific mass murder is unfolding in Sudan, where no one can see it. The RSF are murdering civilians in El Fasher, having finally defeated the Sudanese army forces holding out in the city. The BBC has managed to speak to some who escaped

I could be wrong here, but I think that the more they refer to this as the “Democrat shutdown”, public perception, even amongst MAGA. is that they’re weak. Beyond the actual repercussions (SNAP, etc), this is sinking them further and further in polls and so on. No one, including MAGA, buys it.

This is an idiotic use of energy and likely one of the only ways they can justify their investment in this bullshit tech to themselves.

Breaking on MSNBC:

Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

MAGA hate the poor, even as they refuse to accept the awareness of how close they too are to being there. And that the party is driving what will soon undoubtedly be a homelessness crisis. Likely another way for republicans to profit from their ongoing decimation of the middle and lower classes.

coffinprick.bsky.social @coffinprick.bsky.social · 6d

Of all the terrible feelings that come with the modern age, corporate America and MAGA have done their best to dismantle wonder, romance, and warmth. The gross homogenization and negative energy these people bring to the country (and world at large) is despicable.

Bovino belongs in prison blues.
These people are not supposed to revel in the joy of detainment. At the very most, they should see it as their responsibility to the office they represent (whether I agree or not). But he publicly enjoys the terror, it brings him pleasure to terrorize human beings.

That’s “Up to him” is an interesting way to interpret the constitution. That this is acceptable in the discourse now illustrates how fucking far off the deep end we are.

My question to them (if I were a Christian) would be:

Why, if humans are the divine rods through which god speaks, would there need to be a programmed conduit that a company profits from?

What’s the alternative? I think you could easily replace the word “representation” with “unchallengeable rule”.

We are being driven to madness through all of this tech and the inundation of information our human brains are not capable of properly processing. I struggle with the feeling of being informed as necessity, but when I sign in here I feel my brain will explode. The modern world is a mess.

Supremely grim. And, very different from what we've seen before.

Legal First Amendment activity under current law could become criminal.

The penalties are extreme–criminal prosecution, asset seizure, revocation of visas of those who "endorsed or espoused terrorist activity," and denaturalization.

Trump's plan to designate Antifa as an FTO has implications extending beyond anti-fascist activists to the architecture of US civil society.
