Trump has the most useless, unqualified, corrupt administration in American history. And it starts at the very top with Donald Trump, guilty of all the above.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.
No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
Sharpton: "We're still here! We've come this far by faith. It was against the law to read and write! It was against the law to marry, but we've come this far by faith. I don't care what they do in Washington, I care what we do in the community. We've beat people bigger than Trump!"
Even if you are lucky enough to have legal representation, which in immigration must be funded by yourself (or pro bono counsel) how do your lawyers rep you in this system? Not to mention how does your family find you? not due process
You know, State Department procedure is to help people leave _before_ hostilities begin. Trump/Rubio must have deliberately countermanded procedures, intentionally leaving Americans stranded. IOW it wasn't merely their incompetence but rather an actual decision.
Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”
This ghoul has finally been fired. But make no mistake, Stephen Miller is still in charge of DHS and especially ICE.
@lauracmorel.bsky.social reports from inside the weekly vigils that refuse to let Florida’s most notorious detention camp and the immigrants detained there be forgotten.
A development such as this has been a goal for HIV researchers for decades. It is important because people who are faced with difficult treatment regimens are less likely to be compliant.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."
One thing about these big camp systems is that they inflict a tremendous amount of harm through sheer momentum. When a system is built to be both negligent and punitive, it tends to cause suffering by default.
Note that as our allies draw away from our fresh military adventure and are then berated by our president, he is the same asshole who only weeks ago demeaned and denigrated our allies who shed blood with us in previous military adventures, claiming they had not served on the front lines.

Mercury poisoning is back on the menu.
Here’s @jeva.bsky.social with the story of how the Trump administration’s rollback of coal plant emissions regulations could wind up in your tuna:

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.
…that's trying to make Trump look bad.
It's his own reckless actions.

The American Dynamism conference from Andreessen Horowitz is taking place today.
American Dynamism = venture capitalists starting and profiting from war.
Most of the press corps is not allowed into the Pentagon, where decisions about the war in Iran are being made—this lack of information makes it harder for journalists to do their jobs and harder for the American public to understand what’s happening, Nancy A. Youssef argues:
“Nothing happened. There wasn’t even a whimper.
The Trump administration just marched in and destroyed the crown jewel of climate science in the United States”

Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane
This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster
The only thing you can count on in this country is death, taxes, and our PROFOUND ability to restrict the vote in Black communities.
And still we rise.
The air quotes around “Mr Lewandowski is your ‘special advisor,’ correct?” are brilliant. That’s my Norwich neighbor! But facts of this blatant and massive heist are stomach curdling.
