I like how the NYT tried to do a “some experts say” framing, and the expert was like, you do not need an expert opinion to see this is bad.

Quote text from article:

Lawyers said the nature of the claims posed undeniable ethics challenges.
"What a travesty," said Bennett L.
Gershman, an ethics professor at Pace University. "The ethical conflict is just so basic and fundamental, you don't need a law professor to explain it."

This seems to happen frequently to the Donald and his fascist sidekicks.

Trump loves to have sensitive information about allies and foes so he can threaten allies when they realize how dirty he is and try to distance themselves.

He’s the most patient man in the world. I would be unable to contain my frustration and anger at trump’s ignorance.

I’m thrilled to be named one of @out.com's 100 top queer people of 2025 (and to come in first in the Disrupters category!)

It is a huge honor to be recognized alongside so many brilliant and inspiring individuals who are shaping our world and advocating for greater inclusivity and diversity.

protesting was awesome.

now it's time to make sure we take this energy to the ballot boxes in New Jersey and Virginia.

Mike Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger are on the top of the tickets and would make excellent governors.

vote blue all the way down.

talk to your friends and family.

let's win.

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life

and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

Trump has ordered that Santos be released "immediately". Protecting the friends who helped him try to seize power in 2021 is a priority for him. He may need them again. Jan 6 is not past - it is central to today's politics. 5/

What are the odds he flagellates himself when he returns home to his lair after lying to the press all day? And does he self-flagellate before and after watching gay porn?

He was probably offered a few thousand bucks by one of trump’s goons in hopes Cuomo can beat the handsome, progressive Muslim candidate trump is so afraid of.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

Creepy serial cheater talking about fertility with the pedophile sex trafficker who nominated him at his side. Fuck this.
