@timmiller.bsky.social pushes back on the idea that Trump is suddenly some cross-ideological populist figure.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s break isn’t evidence of a realignment—it’s proof the MAGA brand is cracking. The left shouldn’t help prop it back up.

There are 50,000 food insecure children in Maine and 2 trans athletes. Every single candidate running for office who can drum up concern about the latter but has nothing to say about the former is telling on themselves. They don’t care about children. Only power. And they’ll hurt kids for it.
25 Nov 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- In unusual move, Sen Susan Collins (R-ME) signs petition for referendum on the 2026 ballot that would bar trans students from sports teams, locker-rooms and bathrooms. She's in a hotly contested election & this is pbly one way to increase Rep turnout.

It's quite simple: If you don't vote for Democrats, you're abetting the kidnapping, torture, and deportation of your neighbors.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

Undoubtedly, Musk's "make people laugh at a party" is him taking a picture of someone he employs, having MechaHitler roast their appearance, and then delighting in the forced laughter of his other employees.

Maid flirts with her fellow, cat steals the dinner, housewife escapes boring party upstairs to enjoy the disorder of her own household. Great scene from 1657 by Nicolas Maes, whose day is today.

Revelations about RW social media accounts being run from Russia correspond perfectly to data already revealed by the Panama, Paradise & Pandora Papers: Russian money streamed thru offshore accounts funds virtually all right-wing "populist" parties in EU & NAmerica. Same goal: undermine democracy.
This is one of the big accounts boosting Tommy Robinson, Farage and Reform and ‘English Patriots’.
It’s Russian.
