i am not sure there has been a person in history who enjoys campy theater as much as trump and who will end up more hated by every single person who has ever participated in it

The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 2d ago

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

Also, the whole separation plan seems to rely on AB's continued prosperity by exporting oil and gas to a much cheaper oil and gas producer, because these people are very smart and have thought this all through.

Jason Markusoff@markusoff.bsky.social · yesterday

If it separates, Alberta would have to reckon with fact that nearly all the oil it exports to US gets shipped through other Canadian provinces. By me: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The richest person in the world, an avowed white supremacist, today again posted "the next step is getting rid of 'source code' entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI" because he has no idea how anything works, not even the basics of industries he is in.

It remains very funny that the reality-TV transportation secretary’s plan for doing his job was “reality TV.”

Will Sommer@willsommer.bsky.social · 2d ago

Transportation secretary Sean Duffy benefited from millions in corporate donations to make a show about road trips. But two months after Duffy said the show would premiere, it doesn't appear to exist at all. My latest False Flag @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/what-the-h...

Considering that most cities are blue, he is just saying he hates America

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d ago

Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."

Jake_Vig@jakevig.bsky.social · 2d ago

After a middling WNBA career, blonde haired, blue eyed Sophie Cunningham has positioned herself for post-basketball success and riches as a conservative mouthpiece. This is the pattern that always works because conservatives are very very dumb and will latch onto anyone who promotes hate.

There’s “off the charts” and there’s France’s absolutely bonkers June & July 2026 temperatures (see black line below). Bad things are happening. Fast.

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

I can't possibly imagine a stupider venue for pushing their right-wing bullshit than at a WNBA game

You can tell Cunningham is genuinely interested in hearing different perspectives on this topic by the way she never stops talking throughout their entire interaction

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

One struggled to have sympathy for people who so obviously failed to grasp the fundamental nature of Trump.

Secular Talk @kylekulinskishow.bsky.social · 4d ago

The Republican Party has gone full mask-off Nazi; meanwhile the media narrative being pushed 24/7 is “ahhh! Democrats are being taken over by socialist radicals!!” and their terrifying examples are Miss Rachel, a doctor who wants you to have healthcare, and the friendliest mayor in American history.

hammancheez@hammancheez.bsky.social · 4d ago

Party that spent the last decade grooming and funding and encouraging blind nazi ideologues to run for office and government positions : uh oh

All the pretense is gone. Trump is out right running on an ethnic cleansing platform. Even European extreme-right parties haven’t gone this far. The most desperate he gets, the darker he gets. This is going to get extremely scary and extremely ugly.

6 new states, 12 new Senators (DC, PR, Guam, USVI, Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands). A bare minimum reform.

An officer reported other cops for using racist, sexist and homophobic slurs at work, filed an Internal Affairs complaint & submitted recordings of the other cops being bigoted as evidence b/c otherwise nothing would be done about it. He’s now charged with 16 felonies & could get 13 years in prison.

FLASH: Justice Dept seeks to dismiss Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn Trump Admin acknowledges: "Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor"

This is why the number one thing liberal con law people should be working on is arguments that Trump’s pardons are not valid. Obviously none of this can happen without court packing but once the new liberal court is in place, there need to be arguments ready to hand them.

Mikhail Gorbaechev@mikhailgorbaechev.bsky.social · 5d ago

I think that not only is this good politics, but the stability of American society depends on it. Liberal American normies are out for blood, but *everyone* is in an anti-system mood. If we don't feed that beast some sacrifices, it'll find someone who can, and those sacrifices will be innocent.

"So fucking gross," one CBS News senior staffer tells me about '60 Minutes' bringing on The Free Press's Tanya Lukyanova as an associate producer.

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · 5d ago

So while folks joked about Bari Weiss forcing Olivia Reingold into '60 Minutes,' Weiss went ahead and added another person from The Free Press (who co-bylined that gross starving Gaza children piece with Reingold) as an associate producer of the show. www.thefp.com/p/they-becam...
