There’s something Trumps been talking about that I think been flying under radar and that’s the “silent majority” These are people that don’t exist that Trump will claim voted as part of his reasons to refuse to accept the results MAGAs being immune to logic facts or reason will believe these claims
bsky.app/profile/bost... It’s amazing to me how easy it is to figure MAGAs out while Dems have struggled so mightily to defeat Trumpism www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Hegseth says execution of Fort Hood shooter will be a public event

Chet Manley@bostonbenjamin.bsky.social · 2w agoI don’t have any mental health training but it appears to me that MAGAs demonstrate behaviors consistent with psychopathy and sociopathy. Some of these behaviors include taking joy in the pain of others, aggression, irrationality and loyalty to a specific person or gang. Cont…
Another cowardly and morally reprehensible Republican fucked around and found out that the leopard will eat his face too

www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i... ICE has gone from a poorly trained paramilitary group resembling Hitler’s Brown Shirts to a secret police force that makes people disappear like the Gestapo
Gone in 90 seconds: an ‘invisibilized’ ICE is arresting more people than ever
After public backlash, the Trump administration changed its tactics from ‘siege’ to ‘soft feet’. Now, ICE is everywhere

Markets are predicting the Fed to raise interest rates today. My question is; are these people stupid? Trump forced Jerome Powell outand launched an investigation against Lisa Cook for not lowering interest rates. I predict the interest rates will stay the same and Trump will have a meltdown over it
www.theguardian.com/environment/... Lawsuits will be filed to prove emissions from these plants harm humans which they 100% do but we have a Supreme Court that said racism is over so I’m not overly optimistic about how they’d rule when the case gets to them Trump and his fellow fascists need to go
US ends limits on coal and gas plant emissions, removing key tool to battle climate crisis
Trump’s EPA strips itself of regulation ability, gutting Clean Air Act in what experts say is a gift to planet polluters

Anytime I hear about any federal agency undergoing “extensive restructuring” under this administration, I expect the worst and now it’s the NSA being altered. Sen Wyden opposed Gen. Rudd’s 3/10/26 confirmation to head the NSA in part bc he wouldn’t commit to getting warrants to spy on Americans.
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... I know we were all banking on dominating MAGA in the midterms so we can bring Trump to justice but this ruling means we need to be working on plan B (I think a nationwide general strike) because it’s unlikely the election is going to be free and fair
US supreme court rules Trump can proceed with crackdown on mail-in voting
Justices’ ruling comes after lower courts had blocked president’s election order ahead of November midterms

Iran& North Korea have a long standing alliance rooted in mutual opposition to the United States international isolation and extensive military and ballistic missile cooperation Trump started a war with Iran and is now deep throating a regime that shares the tech that Iran uses to shoot at US troops
Senate Republicans are mad at Fauci for not answering questions about why their penises are so small and why they can’t satisfy their wives or men they meet on grinder Their 2nd question is answered by their 1st one but the reason they’re so small is they handed over their manhood to the tiniest man
As America is coming close to losing its measles elimination status because of the conspiracy theories promoted by Trump and RFK jr, it dawned on me that this is happening because after years of learning to believe lies republicans and MAGA have developed herd immunity to facts, logic and reason
I have young daughters and I can tell you that I’m a hell of a lot more concerned that they’re going to be exposed to diseases that were once eradicated but have been brought back by Trump, RFK jr and their idiot followers than I am about my daughters playing sports against someone born a male
Wait a second, are you telling me the AI bubble, the very thing keeping this crappy economy propped up, could burst? In just about every conceivable way, Trump and his admin have screwed up the country. The nation needs to repudiate Trump at the ballot box in the midterms
If you’ve made a mistake recently and feel dumb for doing it, you can feel confident that you’ll never be as stupid as the people who paid Trump a $100 deposit for a cheesy knock-off phone they haven’t even received yet 😂
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... If there ever was any doubt that the primary objective of MAGAs is protecting pedos, Massie’s defeat puts those doubts to bed
Trump critic Thomas Massie defeated in Kentucky Republican House primary
In biggest primary night so far this year, key races were held in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Alabama, Oregon and Idaho

Shit is spreading like wildfire through republican strongholds across the country, disfiguring women, causing them to look like hideous gargoyles that only Trump thinks looks good

Bold prediction; Noem says she never said what she said under oath and on camera about Trump knowing about the DHS ad corruption and praises Trump for imprisoning innocent people “the worst of the worst” in deplorable conditions and for going after domestic terrorists 😒
www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... These fucking morons learned nothing from Iraq. Pitting ethnic groups against one in a power vacuum the admin is trying to create is astoundingly stupid
Airstrikes hit Iran-Iraq border as US and Israeli plan to mobilise Kurds gathers pace
Experts say backing Iran’s ethnic communities could ‘open up a hornet’s nest’ and increase risk of chaotic civil war

FBI releases first images of an Antifa training camp
So let me see if I got this right - Netanyahu, a wanted war criminal, convinced Trump, a convicted felon whose goons are murdering Americans, to start a reasonless war and I’m supposed think we’re the good guys? Theocracies suck, but I don’t think Iranian girls should be bombed because of their gov
Operation Epic Fury It is abundantly clear that the administration spent more time coming up with the name of the operation than planning the war or even coordinating the lies they tell us about the reason for the war and still settled on the most juvenile and stupid name for an operation in history
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... It’s not lost on me that the Trump admin is demanding access to AI tools for mass surveillance purposes as well allowing drones to kill humans autonomously while also trying to designate Antifa, something that can’t be be considered organized, as a terrorist group
Trump orders US agencies to stop use of Anthropic technology amid dispute over ethics of AI
Department of Defense and artificial intelligence company were unable to reach agreement before deadline

These notifications are vastly different and evidence of why sane Americans need to at least consult foreign news outlets to get a more accurate understanding of current events in America
It somehow looks a whole lot less pretty when you’re holding a shovel and wearing boots full of snow 😒
It’s great that the Supreme Court stood up to Trump for once but we can expect markets to have a good day and for Trump to take credit for the rebound while complaining about the SC’s “foolish and illegal” ruling.
Even if Trump’s BLS didn’t cook the books (he fired a previous commissioner for a bad jobs report) economist Justin Wolfers shows us how fragile this aspect of the economy is. It’s worth watching because knowing is half the battle- GI Joe
Justin Wolfers@justinwolfers.bsky.social · 8mo agoIf you've got three minutes, I've got everything you need to know about the jobs report. What happened, what it means, how it'll shape your life, and what to look for going forward. Plus some wonky bits.
