My fear… remains as it has always been
That Donald Trump is a stress test for Democracy… and if so… we’ve failed horribly
It’s not about the first guy who does authoritarianism poorly
It’s about the second guy who does it well
An illustration of a black wolf decorated with pink, white, and light blue flowers. Hand-lettering around the wolf reads “Defend Trans Lives, Fight for Trans Rights.
I’ve been trying to use my art to be more visible in the world as a trans person, I hope it helps others know they aren’t alone.

I love this!
Nearly 6 hours since a GOP congressman said “Muslims don’t belong in American society,” not a single member of Republican leadership in the House will weigh in.
I don’t know the price of oil isn’t really top of mind for me right now. Our country killed at least 150 children with intention, bombing a school and then 20 minutes or so bombing where they were staging triage.
But sure talk about gas prices I guess.
impeach whether we have the votes or not and then impeach again every day
“People tend to disbelieve stories when actions don't meet the words—even if the story is true. In fact, if the actions of those telling the story don't match their words, people stop believing the story is true, despite mounting evidence of its veracity.”

It's been 65 days since Donald Trump invaded a sovereign state, abducted its leader, and declared the US will "run" the state indefinitely
It's been 9 days since Trump launched a war (his word) against Iran without congressional approval
No House member has filed articles of impeachment for either
Great power is not defined by destructive excellence but by what we build with our moral weapons
Our greatest weapon & mightiest shield is the most significant accomplishment of our nation (and of what we call western civilization): international human rights law

the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.

Like clock work. Whenever Republicans run the government, they trash the economy for working people. Prices go up. 10 of the last 11 recessions were under Republican Presidents.
Good for the mega corporations and billionaires, bad for everyone else.
There will always be more enemies until we build a world where freedom is more than fighting them off
Freedom is changing the system so the enemy’s theory of victory fails — not in embracing the enemy’s rules of war & conducting ourselves as the bringers of death

Good news, no-one can afford oil anymore.
Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

Your Data Will Be Used Against You (and not just by ICE/CPB). All these technologies will make their way to ordinary law enforcement.
Fox & Friends: "We want to acknowledge a mistake made earlier on our program. During our coverage of yesterday's dignified transfer, we inadvertently aired video from an older dignified transfer instead of the ceremony that took place yesterday. We deeply regret the error."
Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday
If you’re a democrat in congress who goes on fox the first thing you say in response to any question should be “why did you show the wrong footage of trump saluting dead soldiers?”
Strongly recommend calling your US senators today to tell them:
1. Publicly call for Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting a protestor.
2. DO NOT vote to confirm Mullin for DHS.
Find your senators at reps.fyi
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
These are the 4 things AI can do well:
•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday
You can see why we need to base our economy around it
Every D who votes for Mullins cares more about the feelings of their fascist buddies than the safety of you and me.
HAGUE
NOW
Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

Dwight: Well, as the Shield of Americas, I thin--

Michael: DWIGHT, god, not the time.
I think it's to Jamelle's credit that he directs open contempt at powerful people who are hurting others; I find it really a relief that someone with this kind of platform and credibility will call, say, JD Vance the odious loser that he is.
None of these people have ever learned the basic lesson of dealing with a narcissist — you can debase yourself all you want to bask in that special narcissist sunshine a few minutes longer, but the sun of the narcissist always moves on, and you’re left exposed as weak, having done it all for nothing
