Totally normal behavior from an adult human being.

The president, on his Truth Social account, posts an AI video portraying him as 'King Trump' piloting a fighter jet which drops shit on 'No Kings' demonstrators. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into Fscist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

Sure, Trump is absolutely demented and completely full of shit, but what does this say about the fucking wastes of life who believe this pathetic old loon's verbal diarrhea?

Khashoggi's Ghost @urocklive1.bsky.social · 1d

Trump, a seemingly demented 79, invented a bizarre claim that Senator Mazie Hirono wants to build a railroad from the continental US to the archipelago.

Honestly I can never tell anymore if he's really this dumb and insane, or just making dumb stuff up as usual.

MAGA people don't know how to exist without an appalled audience. Sure, they probably have some half-baked nefarious plans coming over here, but the primary drive is their insatiable emotional need for our attention. Everybody please do your part to deny them it. 🫡

I found it pretty charming to learn that after Roger Taney died, sitting lawmakers called his death a "victory for liberty and the Constitution," suggested that he was probably burning in hell, and joked (?) that they'd rather hang him in effigy than do literally anything to honor his memory

Roger Taney’s Contemporaries Hated Him As Much As You Probably Do

Ordinarily, members of Congress do not publicly suggest that recently deceased Supreme Court justices are burning in hell. But Roger Taney was no ordinary Supreme Court justice.
