Trump is already spending $1 BILLION PER DAY on his illegal regime change war of choice in Iran.

Now, he's going to ask Congress to give him up to $50 BILLION MORE.

My vote: hell NO.

my first book (2020) was about online neonazis and my second book (2024) was about christian theocrats. they gained strength, voltronned and became a government. my third book (2027) is going to be a history of notable sandwiches so i hope this means we will be governed by sandwichocracy

had a death in the family and was almost completely off the internet for a few days & my observation is that there is too much happening too fast such that basic facts abt the world are difficult to ascertain unless you are mainlining info all the time & doing that seems to drive people insane

transphobia is just as much of an animating force for the right-wing as racism. it stands to reason that if they’re kidnapping and deporting anyone who looks brown enough, they’re doing detransition torture to trans people too. but you don’t need a comparison; they said they would do stuff like this

so, torture. they’re torturing them as federal policy. entirely predictable, but that doesn’t make it any less evil

At some point you wonder not just if insiders using information to place bets, but maybe also reshaping their advice to make those bets profitable.

Her License Was Invalidated For Being Trans β€” Assigned β€œI wish I could convey to them that the people they’re hurting are real human beings,” says Juniper, 24, of Witchita Kansas.

Many news outlets are reporting that some trans Kansans received letters warning that their licenses were being invalidated overnight.

This morning, Evan Urquhart spoke with a trans woman who found out on Bluesky that it would be illegal to drive her car.

They gave a bunch of roided up thugs weapons and made them immune from legal consequences. You can't really tinker around the edges of something like that, you have to end it

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
