russia: “We’ll erase Ukraine.” Four years later - Our flags still fly, Our people still fight, And your “three-day war” Became your national humiliation. You can destroy buildings. Not a nation.

You'll never guess the color of Scott's skin ...
Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social · 5mo agoYesterday, Trump pointed at Rachel Scott of ABC News and said "she's a bitch" after Ms. Scott asked him about rising gas prices. It will be old news by close of business today. Once again: Trump is held to a different standard by legacy media.
With many Democrats boycotting Trump’s speech on Capitol Hill, there’s likely to be MORE people at our rebuttal event than on the House Floor at his speech. Trump’s hates it when your crowd is bigger than his.
There is no recalibrated or sanitized way to conduct the war that Trump and Stephen Miller are waging on American cities right now. That’s because it’s a campaign of deliberate terror. The policy *is* the terror, and the terror *is* the policy. newrepublic.com/article/2053...

I think it's great to address the crazy, but what I feel like we're continuing to miss is that the crazy isn't a "distraction." It's real. These people are bananas. And we need to engage with that genuinely, and absolutely ridicule the crap out of them for it and never stop until they go into hiding
Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"
Newsom: I cannot wait for all the punditry. Historic victories all across the United States of America. Proposition 50 winning by double digits. A new governor of New Jersey, a new governor in Virginia. I’ll end as I began: thank you for giving a damn.
