Trump after meeting with Mamdani like:

Merrick Garland’s DOJ exhausted 10s of 1000s of man-hours investigating & prosecuting J6er pawns while allowing ol Dumpy to game the clock, allegedly win an election, *pardon all the convicted insurrectionists* & then hire them on our dime as his own personal paramilitary/gestapo.

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social This is how it is done guys TRUTH HAS INTRINSIC POWER www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Democrats liken Trump to Putin after call to use US cities for military training

Illinois governor JB Pritzker and others condemn the US president for suggesting cities be used as military training grounds

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov if you cant bring yrselves into alignment w people like Pritzger, Newsom, *leaders actually telling it like it is* & trying to resist in every facet the Trump regime, I will give every spare dollar I have to whoever primaries you useless fucks

only one real thing the opposition can do to fight back effectively: a general strike. doesn’t need to be everyone/everywhere. It needs to be in the blue cities amongst the professional classes. Do it for a day. then a week. There’ll be *no change* unless the flows of capital are interrupted

Overlooked in the Kirk killing (he was a Nazi & fascist & happy promoter of political violence going the other direction): they are paving the way for the transition when ol Dumpster kicks it & they are unsure of Vance’s status w the MAGAts. This is all a practice run

Fuck Charlie Cook & every other malignant nazi propagandist. You don’t get points for having & spreading un-American values. people get shot for all kinds of reasons all the time my tears are saved for the good people

What centrist libs can't seem to internalize is that the US contains a large, longstanding, well-funded political movement that *wants political violence and authoritarianism*. It does not need to be provoked in any way in order to pursue those goals.

Sorry to be morbid but Burning Man is actually a *genius level* location to commit a murder

Guys listen: Regardless of ol Dumpy’s actual state, please take note: *something* hinky is going down. So please social media can we please go NUTS asking where is Trump? Demand they put him in front of a camera. the Sleepy Joe media feeding frenzy treatment. Let’s make them squirm at least is fun

Somehow national media was DEEPLY disturbed abt feeling like they got played by the Biden admin via his acuity, diminishment, et al, (to the point that still given massive airplay months into Trump II) yet somehow *every day* they are played for fools by Trump & all his lackeys & it’s crickets

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social yo Mayor NY needs a ad spot w you & Jimmy McMillan ideally a rap song

In hindsight it was not probably the best decision to have a two party system where the parties more or less represented the two sides of a not too distant civil war

@governor.ca.gov get with me on this, Newsom socials team- the whole “TACO” thing is weak sauce & an affront to the wonderfulness of tacos. Here you go: “Ol’ Dumpy” “Dumpy Don” “The Dumpster” “Dumpster Donny”

If the Epstein thing retains momentum expect Trump to bomb somewhere

Fun idea for 🧊 intervention/protest: distribute 🧊 outfits (Amazon tactical bullshit, 🧊-emblemed vests, gloves, black masks) to EVERYONE protesting. Surround those fuckers & watch them squirm.

It took Germany decisively losing WW2 vs the largest & most advanced combined military force in history, & 42-50m total deaths (146-178m deaths relative to today’s populations), their country in ruins, to end the Third Reich. 2025 US is Germany ~1934; prepare for more extreme actions to prevent this

Rothkopf on *fire* right here. What American Dems (the voters not the entrenched corporate legislators) & left generally want is the capitalism practiced in *every other wealthy democracy*- a version which is in fact radically more sustainabe, stable, AND humane than what we practice in US.

Next morning after the most massive nationwide protest in years- the New York Times, alleged paper of record, has not a single story in its web version reporting on it. Only item I could find is mention of a couple hundred protesting Trumps dipshit parade in DC

Gofundme fundraiser for burner phones for protesters

Cops-- pathetic. Fuck off. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/youre-a-bu...

You're a Bunch of Cowards!

We're all laughing at you.

@billsimmons.bsky.social @zachlowenba.bsky.social The “Fun & Gun” Pacers? The “Race & Space” Pacers?

The Democratic Party needs to abandon pursuing conversion of soft Trump supporters by tacking right and focus on *the much larger swath of eligible voters* who do not show up to vote- speak truth to power, offer ambitious solutions. GIVE PEOPLE SOMETHING TO VOTE *FOR* and the masses will come out

@jaketapper.bsky.social hey great book! If I understand correctly the principle lesson is major media needs to do better real time job investigating & reporting on cover-ups, lies, & cognitive function within the executive branch? Of pushing back on misrepresentations by POTUS & those around him?

Hanlon’s Razor “never ascribe to malice what can be as well explained by stupidity” Re Trump never ascribe to stupidity/incompetence that which could be explained by grift, domination, and malice. These are the core demiurges of Trump himself & his movement from which all else flows.

Twas abtime in US when major media practiced real journalism- enormous amounts of time & energy went into real investigative pursuit of the facts. The reporting would reflect this, and media would present their fact-finding as an adjunct to the he said she said spin of self interested parties.

I’ll add that I find it hard to trust journalists who deny their own agency. If you have a significant platform, you can’t go “Well, we have to talk about it because the press has decided it is a big issue.” Drop the “I’m just passively observing from the sidelines” nonsense. That’s not a thing.

The CNN “Feeble Biden” exegesis, in midst of ongoing monstrous Trumpist corruption/grift/ cruelty, is an abhorrent cynical attempt to exculpate themselves from their own critical burden of responsibility for this nightmare, by scapegoating a Biden who remains light years ahead of Trump cognitively

If you had made a half million 2024 US dollars EACH & EVERY DAY, spending not a dime, since the birth of Julius Caesar, you would still not be as wealthy as Elon Musk.
