The news is just awful. I’m sending virtual love and hugs to all those affected by all the horseshittery happening. And also posting this pic of my adorable retired racing greyhound in his frog jammies. Because we love frogs. 🐸 (He’d love you to read the alt text on his pic, too.)

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives
Except it IS a nazi tattoo. There are plenty of skull graphics out there not associated with nazis. So it makes it WORSE! I have 3 skull tattoos and not one of them would ever be mistaken for a nazi tattoo!

It’s pretty fucking hard to make sense of us giving $40 billion to Argentina’s federal government when our federal workers are standing in fucking breadlines here at home.

Just for the record, in 2020:
- Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey
- Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes
- Garland was an appeals court judge
- Monaco was in private practice in LA

There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise.

He crazy.

We need to get Tobias Forge to send a cease and desist to not wear Ghost (band) hats while kidnapping people. Pretty sure Papa Perpetua would not co-sign co-opting the band for this horseshit.

Please read the following statement by Executive Director Audrey Sasson, condemning the flood of racist and Islamophobic attacks this week against @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.

We call on our City and State political leaders and organizations to condemn and forcefully reject these smears. (1/5)
I have 10 tattoos and not one of them is even nazi adjacent. Just say no to nazi anything! It’s not freaking hard!!

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."
This is friggin preposterous!

ICE OUT of NEW YORK!
STOP THE DEPORTATIONS!

FOLEY SQUARE, NYC

New Yorker condemns Trump's authoritarian theatrics. We have shown up in mass at Foley Square to demonstrate that we will not stand for these ICE raids.

Reposting this.

To outshine the White House demolition news grab.
Washington, D.C.’s No Kings protest is converging on a rallying point just west of the Capitol building. This was one of several locally-organized feeder marches just before merging with an even bigger crowd on Pennsylvania Avenue 👇

It’s far from the most important thing, morally right now, or in terms of the human stakes, but the ballroom thing is really breaking my brain.
We def have bigger problems, @fetterman.senate.gov @johnfetterman.com, like people who can’t afford to eat or health insurance premiums. But we can also focus on the CORRUPTION right in front of our faces that you’re brushing off you absolute bellend!! I’m so disappointed I voted for you.
Fetterman describes Trump trying to steal $230 million from taxpayers as "small ball, and I think we have much bigger problems than worrying about those things."

Trump is destroying the White House and the US. From symbolism to literalism.

On top of his crypto grifts, real estate deals, and other corrupt ways he profits from the presidency, Trump now literally wants his own DOJ to pay him $230M.

He does this all while his tariffs raise prices on Americans.

An insane, unprecedented level of blatant corruption.
Trump: "It's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself. But I was damaged very greatly and any money I would get I would give to charity."
I feel like I’m going insane with the absolute corruption in plain sight.
I keep saying “it’s almost impossible to explain how corrupt this is” but then something like this happens that’s even MORE corrupt:
President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him.

Whether he gets paid will ultimately be up to DOJ's second-in-command, who was recently his personal lawyer.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.
I know it’s silly to keep pointing out the absolute hypocrisy of this regime and its followers. But I’m going to keep pointing out the hypocrisy anyway. The right would have lost their ever loving minds & it would have been the only story discussed for 2 weeks min. This should be a massive scandal.
Obama sharing a video of himself wearing a crown and flying a King Obama jet that dumped shit all over Americans would have been the only thing the news networks talked about for weeks.

Meanwhile, Trump doing that very thing couldn't even warrant a discussion on the Sunday shows today.
