It's a battle for the truth. Known as Americanist4u @Twitter before my free speech was cancelled for expressing opinions which the megalomaniac overlord dislikes. I unfollow un-reciprocated follows after one week!
Mike Lindell announced that he is "stepping down as CEO of MyPillow so I can devote 100% of my time and energy to my campaign for Governor of Minnesota."
“This is not a problem of perspective or political persuasion. It is a fundamental question of competence," former asst U.S. attorney Sean Murphy said today on Cap Hill. Murphy is one of 12 former fed prosecutors who wrote to senators today, raising red flags about how dangerous these nominees are.
Former J6 federal prosecutors are begging senators -- mostly GOPers, but a handful of Dems are in there, too -- to stop confirming election deniers to lifetime federal courts seats. “Please stop poisoning our courts." www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...

Prepare for an insane explosion of Islamophobia between now and November, from the same people on the right (and center!) who pretend to be exercised by the rise in anti-Jewish bigotry. The hate will be off the charts and make the anti-Zohran campaign look tame. Mark my words.
The Trump administration is pushing for the construction of 82 new gas-burning plants to power data centers. These plants would release as much pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the U.S.
I fully support the Republicans making their affordability message "cry me a river."
A watchdog reports FEMA is unprepared for future emergencies after the Trump administration pushed out over 6,400 employees from the disaster response agency.
ICE has detained over 50 parents and spouses of active-duty service members during Trump's second term.
U.S. Army Sgt. Hedar Leonel Turcios Juarez, whose wife was arrested by ICE in front of their 6-year-old daughter: "How can I even focus on my military career because I have to worry about how my wife is doing?"

I disagree. Le Pen hasn’t instigated a coup d’état. Meloni does not have track record of openly racist remarks. And Orbán accepted his electoral defeat. Not to say that Europeans would no longer vote for these leaders if they did, but we simply don’t know yet. Trump is much more extremist!
Mark Copelovitch@mcopelov.bsky.social · 5mo agoTl;dr: Americans have trouble understanding there is ~nothing unique about Trump. He is part of the broad wave of far right parties/politicians since 2008 across rich democracies. Our institutions just suck more. Europeans have trouble understanding there is ~nothing unique about Trump. See above.
Elon Musk is betting that Maine voters will consider him, the Hitler-saluting white nationalist trillionaire father of 14 children with 4 different women who wants to send people to Mars, as a more trustworthy figure than a 5th-generation Maine logger who wants more spending on healthcare. Good luck

It's true. One of the mini-dramas in the latest episode of General Magaspittle is the breakup of Proud Boy leader Henry "Enrique" Tarrio & Oregon conservative influencer-wannabe Serena Devoogd aka RightSideR3bel. Let's do a little "is it gossip or schadenfreude ... or both?" thread.
Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · 3d agoThis person got clout in Oregon MAGA circles for being Enrique Tarrio’s girlfriend. He recently dumped her, and now that drama is getting her attention. Meanwhile, when she spoke at this January event attended by maybe 75 people, it was a snooze fest. bsky.app/profile/seth...
Once he’s gone, every trace of his presidency needs to be removed.

A video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.

LOL. Less than a day after claiming he thinks “there’s a deal,” Trump is now accusing Iran of lying about the talks and demanding either a deal or Iran’s “total surrender” Trump is either a pathological liar trying to manipulate the markets, or he’s being played for a fool by the Iranians Or both
