One of the most delightful things about being 8 years old is that you can rotate through future careers like it’s nobody’s business: a professional basketball player, an artist, a geologist, a singer, a rugby player. Anything is possible. 😍💛
Any other expats wishing they could participate in a No Kings march? Solidarity to those preparing to peacefully hit the streets of the USA tomorrow.
Because the Trump universe is a dystopian universe.
Dude proves he doesn’t have a fifth grade education.
AOC: “The republican majority is anti *legal* immigration in the United States and I want to make that very clear.”
This is your daily reminder that the US president is a convicted felon and con artist.
FEMA has a long history of failing to help those who need assistance the most after disasters. Biden-era changes meant to fix some of those problems now face an uncertain future.
Sounds like a… horror movie.
2/2 I am human first, follower of Jesus second, and a dual citizen of the USA/Australia third. All of these matter to me. Apparently, I am also deranged. Any other deranged folks out there?
I’m not offended by MAGA’s name calling. And I’ll keep doing my small part to normalize the #resistance.
Picture of a regular looking middle age white woman smiling in a selfie on a beach.
Hi. I’m Adriel. I have ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome.’ Or so I’ve been told. To be clear, if TDS is the diagnosis for believing historians, scientists, theologians, constitutional lawyers, international news sources, the words of Jesus recorded in scripture, and my own eyes/ears then so be it.

It seems the male ego made Trump & Vance ‘too emotional’ to be able to hold successful negotiations in the Oval. Should have been a woman handling this “deal.” Too bad American elections aren’t merit based.
The fact that he can’t see “what’s in it for us” in helping Ukraine speaks volumes about his ignorance of foreign policy, power, and democracy. The incompetence is blaring.
Zelensky is in a terrible position having to appease Trump to keep the US on side. It shouldn’t have to be this way.
Paula White is hugely problematic, yes, but not because she’s a woman. Sorry, not sorry, Doug.
Yes. The drug industry in the USA is out of control.
Congrats Beth. The world is a better place because of your work.
So they’re going to oust themselves? Great news.
It’s very clear that the driving ethos of the USA is no longer democracy; it’s capitalism.
Maybe it always has been.
I’m 46 years old and tonight I’m watching Jurassic Park for the first time. I’ll say this: it’s very hard for a movie—any movie—to live up to thirty+ years’ worth of hype.
Always grateful for @nickkristof.bsky.social’s work.
Because learning from the mistakes of our past is apparently too hard. 🤦🏻♀️
Just another day of ‘regular’ news in this dystopian nightmare unfolding in the USA.
Yes. A wonderful book. Highly recommend.
@ChrisDJackson As of February 7, 2025, Trump has been president for 19 days-and spent 9 of them in Florida. That's 47% of his presidency on vacation. Each Mar-a-Lago trip costs taxpayers $3.4 million, adding up to $10.2 million so far. Where the hell is DOGE? @johngiurini Is this the same Donald Trump that signed an Executive Order mandating that all Federal employees need to return to the office full time? No more work from home?
King Con the sequel.
Trump, Vance, and their men are Neo Colonialists. Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal, Gulf of Mexico, Gaza. A real estate developer/TV personality grabbing the power of a king with the tactics of a dictator at the direction of bad actors like Miller, Musk, Bannon, and others won’t end well for anyone.
If you live in a RED state, call your senators. Tell them you believe in government efficiency but that you don't support Elon Musk's illegal attack on the Treasury. Tell them you know he has money - and that he's threatened them. But tell them you will have their back in removing him for power.
Thank you for calling it what it is, Nick!
War criminals like to stick together. I wonder if they have matching BFF lockets.
Elon Musk is committing a lot of felonies. He belongs in jail, and so do his criminal associates. He may not comprehend that. And if and when he does it may make him more reckless. No assumptions about where we go from here.
Thank you Senator Wyden.
Blatant abuse of power.
