The psychotic mix of kakistocracy, kleptocracy, and autocracy all mixed together with a large helping of Project 2025 nonsense sprinkled with heaps of antivax and anti-science insanity will test our patience over the next 4 years #fafo

Jarring to see the footage of this video juxtaposed with the narration describing "rising tensions" and other milquetoast expressions. The violence in the clips is only coming from one direction: ICE.
by @democraticwins.bsky.social CNN just aired a devastating compilation of all the times ICE brutally attacked Americans. Remember, Donald Trump sponsored this. This is done at his command.

To attack your own citizens, threaten decades old alliances, and try to destabilize the Federal Reserve in less than a week takes a special type of idiocy. #25thAmendmentNow

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

"What did you do today at work, babe?" asks the trooper's wife. "Well, hon, I stood outside the women's room telling ladies to prove to me they were born with vaginas before I let them pee." Not all fetishes are fascist, but all fascism is fetishistic. www.texastribune.org/2025/12/12/t...
Enforcement of Texas’ bathroom bill draws challenges
In its first week, one group’s test of the new restrictions was met with ID checks at women’s restrooms at the Capitol while the Austin City Council moved to circumvent the law's intent.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?
