I love all things science, but right now my country is under siege by a narcissistic authoritarian dictator. #NoKings

Start visualizing it now and roll up your sleeves and make it happen!

Trump’s gaudy gold crap out in front of the White House in large dumpster, including his golden toilet next to the dumpster.

Smokey the bear surrounded by the words “Only You Can Prevent Fascism.”

The possibility of ever catching up is being dismantled by the relentless attack on science and institutions that support it.

Yeah, the J6 MAGAs were very kind to Capitol Police. 😳

Uh huh.

My prediction: In a few months Israel will be returning to its ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

Small problem: a great deal of Tesla’s and even SpaceX’s hardware requires components like rare earth magnets that they must get from…China. Oops…

I applaud their journalistic integrity. Those “journalists” who signed the Pentagon document are now nothing more than parroting stenographers - relaying Pentagon propaganda.

Citibank has developed a very profitable and cozy relationship with the Trump family. They will seek to soften and minimize any negative economic news that might contradict Trump’s “America is hot” propaganda.

So now we get the Eric Trump book tour where the whiniest Trump cries about how victimized he has been day after day. Again.

Where’s the MAGA anger at this bailout?

It’s nonexistent because their MAGA mind controllers at Fox News and OANN and Newsmax haven’t told them to be angry.

You know they’re worried about this weekend’s turnout at the No Kings rally when they’re already making comments about it. Who’s ready for Saturday?

How do you make sure your characters are flawed - but in unpredictable, non-formulaic ways? Or do you care about that? 🤔

Bessent is such a Trump ass-kissing clown.

Trump has totally been the cause of the farmers plight, and has brought all this turmoil unnecessarily on Americans.

Trump has zero clout against China and must always back down to his tough-guy talk.
