Oh Trump (R-Moscow) wants to build a tunnel to connect the Aleutian islands to Russia if I am not mistaken. Please

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

ENDORSED! The Philadelphia Inquirer editorial board knows that my candidacy is the best choice to move New Jersey forward, citing my “welcome willingness to take on big challenges” and “actionable plans” on housing, transportation, energy, and education.

No other U.S. president has used the military as their own personal police force against the American people.

We implore the courts to reject Donald Trump's ongoing, illegal actions and definitively affirm states' sovereign right to handle public safety matters.

I met a teacher who taught Donald as a child, she said in 30 years of teaching he was the most destructive person she ever taught. I agree.

George Santos is just the sort of person the felon likes, because they are two peas in a pod. This is so gross

Trump let George Santos out of jail just to make it clear that if you're loyal to him, you can get away with anything. This isn't a democracy if one man decides what's a crime and what isn't.

Time for everyone to wake up. This moment is more serious than many want to believe.

MAGA troll farms attempted to gaslight the US public to turn them away from the NoKings protest coverage. They spread disinformation ranging from "the protests aren't real" to "these videos are from [insert different date or event]". It was a coordinated disinfo attack.

An essential feature of authoritarianism is that the leader - not courts - decides who is guilty and who is not.

Santos - who Trump said is getting a commutation bc he “votes Republican” - is the 10th high profile loyalist to get a pardon or clemency.

We cannot accept this.

Think about the kind of A hole you need to be to get 7 million people to get off their sofas to say F U .

rabianyc.bsky.social @rabianyc.bsky.social · 15h

Yes and we can add Hegseth to the list. He pretty much spelled it out. I literally have Russian Ties. Why do you think Putin's HR department picked him.

rabianyc.bsky.social @rabianyc.bsky.social · 15h

I think its safe to say Pete Hegseth has Russian Ties
( I mean he can't make it any clearer)

Colombia is a country, Columbia is a University in NYC.
I would not expect the Manchurian candidate to know this, sadly.

A "Manchurian candidate" is a person, especially a politician, who is secretly brainwashed to act as a sleeper agent for a foreign power and to harm their own country.

If it walks like a duck ...

We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it.

But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.
