Trump is too stupid to realize that billionaires, congressional republicans, and other corrupt world leaders are using him to get ahead. Just watch— they will all turn on him just before the midterms. He’s a terrible person, but ultimately he’s the fall guy for a collective of even worse people.
🚨 The Shocking Truth About Self-Censorship in Politics 🚨
What happens when people prioritize economic promises over democracy?

Bernie Sanders: "We're not only dealing with a move toward authoritarianism, we're dealing with what is new to America -- politicians have always lied, nothing new about that. But the level that we're seeing right now. The big lie, over and over again ... "
Not to mention how absurd it is to instead name it after a random Italian guy. As a species, I think we’ve already hyped up 16th century Europeans enough.
First we got Kendrick at the Super Bowl and now Macklemore put this out?
So encouraging to see artists with titanium spines while so many other public figures continue to disappoint us.
This song (and video) are so punk I am actually kind of scared for the dude:

This reads like the opening paragraph of a novel so bleakly dystopian you'd put it down after five pages
Not super impressed. How exactly does more police help anything? Who does it benefit? Also, how does easing restrictions on construction solve affordability issues if owners and landlords buy up all the houses and charge exorbitant rental fees? Maybe tax the people who own dozens of properties more.
In an email obtained by NPR, employees at EPA's Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights were told they were on administrative leave, effective immediately.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
To recap, Trump:
-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI
This is disastrous leadership.
Sometimes I go grocery shopping. Sometimes my wife does. Sometimes we both go together. Are these people okay?
Possibly the best take I’ve heard on Trump’s base. Anyone who knows a Trump supporter has seen this firsthand. Hating and lying can feel great. Holding empathy and thinking critically can be exhausting (sometimes even painful). So how do we break through the catharsis of hate?
Free to hate-delivers the votes
lol I had the same question. YouTube shorts is okay if you spend a couple hours subscribing to decent creators/tailoring the algorithm. The Bluesky video feed is also pretty decent considering it just launched.
He did say he would be a dictator on day one. Unfortunately one of the few truths he’s told
Where is Debbie Dingell, head of the Committee Chair, and Gerry Connolley, head of Oversight?
Why are AOC and Jasmine Crockett reflecting the righteous anger to the American public?
Why not start in the rural areas that voted you in, Trump? It’s almost their only aim is to weaponize mass deportation to weaken the economies of highly populated blue areas 🤔
We aren’t very far into it, but I’m calling Bad Bunny’s “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” album of the year.
It seems Tainy, Mag, and La Paciencia are due heavy credit for their production— blending old and new styles & seamlessly moving through música tropical, bomba, reggaeton, jazz, r&b, hiphop, etc. 🔥 🇵🇷
Going to need a bigger sOotcase
I can’t explain why, but this TikTok repost of a RedNote repost sums up the past week of social media for me.
@cityofseattle.bsky.social looking at you!
We’re gonna need a bigger suitcase
One of my lowest performing TikTok videos for Bluesky’s viewing displeasure
Rep. Raskin is one of the people Biden pardoned before he left office. Raskin says it's strange to be pardoned for doing his job.
Big Tech billionaires had a front row seat at Trump's inauguration. They were seated in front of Trump's own cabinet. Tells you everything you need to know.
For real. The guy’s grandparents were members of the actual nazi party. This was not an accident, he knows what he’s doing and he knows he can get away with it.
Today at Trump’s Inauguration… I love Bernie Sanders.
What a heart-wrenching anniversary this one has been
Wtf was that inauguration? Elon’s salute, Trump’s speech, tech billionaires grinning like I’ve never seen. I knew we were descending into fascism, but I fear we have already hit ground. 😳
