Tariffs making everything more expensive, Republicans shutting down the government, health care premiums set to skyrocket, demolishing the rule of law, a hateful mass deportation agenda.

This picture really sums up the last 9 months of the Trump presidency.

Americans would be wise to understand what the Stasi was. The East German secret police "sought to infiltrate every institution of society and every aspect of daily life," with files on 6 million citizens, more than 1/3rd of the population. The Trump regime is building its version of the Stasi. 1/2

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

“That’s state-funded. Not federal.”
“You’re right.”

@chadkultgen.bsky.social’s MAGA mom slowly realizes Republicans have been lying to her that Dems are fighting for undocumented people to be covered by federal insurance, which is not allowed by federal law.

Did I miss any updates on the investigation into the motive of Charlie Kirk’s killer? It feels like that just disappeared as a story, which is strange considering his exaltation within GOP and making his murder into a national event. I’d think we’d be getting hearing about it frequently

Wow. Trump's masked federal agents tear-gassed a crowd in Chicago and ended up gassing a bunch of local Chicago cops who were there to *deescalate tensions.* One local cop was captured on film washing out his eyes with a hose:

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.
