Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...
A consistent story in US politics has been Republican obedience. Safely ensconced in seats with large GOP majorities they feared Trump unleashing his cult-like primary voters more than they did their electorate.
Also, a Dem just won a Trump +22 Texas district despite a 1:10 funding disadvantage.
On camera, immigration agents are shooting and killing people in broad daylight.
Behind closed doors, ICE is also killing people with chokeholds, medical neglect, inadequate food, and other inhumane conditions. The needless deaths and suffering must end.
This was Alex Pretti at work at the VA honoring a veteran who had passed.
This is who they're trying to falsely smear as a terrorist and assassin.
It starts in the states, and it requires two things: proportional representation for legislative bodies, and fusion voting in single-winner races. Eventually rolling back state-run party primaries, too. But PR is the only immediate “have a multi-party system” switch to flip and states can do it.
Several agents hold a person down and sprays them with pepper spray.

We're being put through this because a good portion of the country were so angry a Black man was elected president, gays could marry, and trans people existed that they decided to elect the worst possible person to destroy the country. The rest were rubes fooled by mis and disinformation.
The biggest obstacle we face as a society in getting people to accept reality about Trump is that it requires people to face reality about themselves and about ourselves as a society.
Gift article, good read
The absolute accuracy of this.
(next to an image of comedian Ron Funches) “You said we had no money for teachers, but they can pay fucking ICE agents six figures?"
The high today in St Paul is 14 degrees. Inhumane, cruel, insidious.
This is a great thread
This is awesome

If y'all need a script, here you go. You can call 202.224.3121 and ask for your representative. The script is included below in this thread as well.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.
I have tidal and love it. I got tired of waiting strong for HiFi from Spotify. Had it for a few years
Fond memories of that time Mike Johnson was president of a local law school that never opened its doors, in part because it was attached to a Baptist college that was losing its accreditation, and in part because it was always a scam from the start
Reminder:
SDNY "was running an active investigation into Jeffrey Epstein[’s] ... coconspirators. In January [2025], SDNY prosecutors were ordered to transfer the Epstein case files to DOJ headquarters in Washington, D.C. ... the investigation into co-conspirators has inexplicably ceased."
Shameless liar
People really don't understand what an extraordinary energy revolution China is creating right now. They're installing 1GW of solar a DAY. It's not slowing down either. They just peaked their emissions and we could see them phase out coal by the end of the decade.
TN-7 Candidate @aftynbehn.bsky.social : "If you’re not OK with the chaos at our federal government, are upset with the cost of living & inflation, then I'm your candidate… I’ve never taken corporate PAC money, which is important- because are you fighting for the people or your donors?"
We aren’t the audience for these anti-Trump talking points delivered by MTG and Massie, and our negative reactions and suspicions are justified.
It’s nonetheless important to understand the significance of this messaging in terms of its potential impact on the intended audience.
Rep. Thomas Massie: "Trump's being a bully…They're trying to beat me here in Kentucky. But here's what's interesting, the people financing the campaign consist completely of three billionaires, and they're all in the Epstein class. One of them is named in Epstein's phone book."
Kristi Noem sits on a horse wearing a cowboy hat. In the background is Mount Rushmore.
NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.
It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.
This picture says everything about the state of our nation right now, peaceful clergy being arrested and forced face-down on the pavement.
Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.
"... the best explanation for 2025 is that voters didn’t know what they were getting with Trump 2.0 last November, but now they do — and they don’t like it."

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.
2026 STARTS NOW.
