His whole life, Trump has always had someone else around to bail him out of the messes he creates: his father, Allen Weisselberg, the "adults in the room" in his first term. Now all those protectors are gone and he is openly begging for someone to save him from his own folly.
“When I feel it... I feel it in my bones.”
I think that Trump is confusing ending a war with predicting rain. But, hey, at least his cabinet members all have matching shoes, amiright?
one promise the cyberpunk future failed to deliver on is me being a courier for 512MB of highly sensitive corporate data contained in my brain zip drive while i wear a nice suit instead of being a courier for burritos in a 2012 hyundai
Horrific. Texas Supreme Court ruled that PFLAGs in Texas have to turn over records related to fleeing the state, contingency plans to get care, doctors lists, and more.
Texas has become such a terrifying place for trans people.

Defense secretary openly states that a pro-Trump billionaire taking over a news network (following regulatory help from the administration) will result in coverage more favorable for the administration.
And I love how supporting our ally, Ukraine, is something he knows Putin doesn't like, and uses that to excuse this. I mean, OF COURSE Putin is getting our troops killed, but we support Ukraine, so ....
It's wild to hear it said out loud so casually. He so clearly doesn't care
Ah, yes, the well known standard of everyone being presumed innocent only after an investigation which exonerates them. Between this, and bragging about brining weak cases, I'm beginning to suspect that she isn't qualified for her job.
It's just beavers all the way down

And sometimes you get to hang out in the library of the California Governor's mansion.
You keep saying "at a level never seen before," and I do not think it means what you think it means. - with apologies to Princess Bride
The "I can't vote for her because she'll start a war in the Middle East" crowd are really quiet right now.
We coulda had the smart Black lady.
I see so many State agencies misunderstanding their obligations under the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) I'm tempted to launch a series while I search for the right fit for my next position
My last State job said "design is more important than accessibility" and I know we can do better
Screenshot of an X post by HasanAbi commenting on how to discuss trans issues with median voters. The post quotes Marco Foster, who says the anti-trans campaign in Maine is funded by an out-of-state billionaire to distract from tax discussions and notes that very few trans kids compete in high school sports there. Below is a podcast-style video still of a man speaking into a microphone.
When you hear them target any vulnerable community—immigrants, trans people, refugees—ask first why they're trying to distract and divide us. Don't fall for it.
A post from president Trump that reads: short-term oil prices which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over is a very small price for USA and World safety and peace only fools would think differently
Paying more for gas is your patriotic duty
maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living
don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free
The president of the United States meeting the coffins of soldiers he's had killed to amuse himself while wearing a white baseball cap and, I don't know, counting his fingers...? Meanwhile, the wraith he's married to is demonstrating her customary compassion for anyone who's not her.
I don't suppose that there's some sort of...context...for this.
This is a very good thread
Everything is transactional in his world
That's not very reassuring
The two most qualified people to ever run for President and you don’t “like”them.
Says more about you than you realize.
Of all the horrible, corrupt and incompetent things Kristi Noem has done that would get any other Cabinet secretary fired, the thing that now seems likely to result in her termination is the unpardonable MAGA sin of blaming Trump for her corruption when she got caught.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around my last job saying "design is more important than accessibility," and explicitly instructing me to ignore the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. In 33 years of full time visual communications work, that's the most unethical, ableist instruction I've had.
Words; what do they even mean?
if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE
it will result in dead trans people
and with their other goal of making us “sexually explicit” for existing
you see the pipeline right?
we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die
WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS
This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.
But since she asked,
"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."

This beautiful 5x7" watercolor needs a home.
This is a class of stupid all by itself.
No better metaphor for what association with Trump gets you than the guys who won Team USA's first gold medal since 1980 being forever remembered as the sad losers who were served cold McDonald's and bottled water at a lunch Trump didn't even bother showing up to.
