I knew it was bad but really didn’t appreciate it was quite this bad

Trump has apparently just posted a video of a woman being murdered on his social media account.

I am not watching it and you shouldn’t either.

You should, however, call your reps and demand impeachment.

You could have had free healthcare this entire time. The money was always there. Israelis have free healthcare and you don’t.

Donald Trump’s deranged threat to destroy “a whole civilization” in Iran is a threat to commit war crimes and genocide. Republicans in Congress must prevail upon VP Vance, now campaigning for Putin’s puppet Viktor Orban in Hungary, to return to the U.S. and invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.

Almost as good as the parodies: The NYT says Trump is “seemingly emboldened” rather than the more obvious “completely batshit.” They don’t quote the whole thing, just the threat to infrastructure. They paraphrase “fuckin’” And no mention of the Easter Sunday insult to the world’s Muslims.

Don’t let this fly under the radar: the Trump administration wants to kick ~6 million more people off of food assistance programs, including nearly 2 million children.

That would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war.

Priorities.

Republicans don't want a brake on themselves. They'll rob the coffers blind & pocket the $$ while the gettin's good before moving on to the next opportunity to enrich themselves. Money & power is the only call they respond to. As long as Trump lets them get away with it, they'll back him to the end.

Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Jared Kushner holds no government position at all. He is not a Senate-confirmed political appointee & his "special peace envoy" job is completely fake. This is wildly illegal & unconstitutional nepotistic corruption. Stop normalizing it in the papers.

1. According to multiple reports both Saudi Arabia and the UAE lobbied Trump to attack Iran.

Both countries have increased their influence with Trump by investing billions in projects that personally enrich Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Trump hands Democrats a blood-pumping issue heading into the midterms: We will force the government to give back the cash they stole from you!

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women."

😬Yikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that!

"Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate."

Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!

I promise I will stop banging on about this once Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, & co. cannot walk into the Capitol w/o being bombarded by media questions about why they are still violating their oaths & allowing the lawless authoritarianism to continue. 20 questions for them for every 1 for Dems.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.

When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL

I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.

The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

Reporters, if you wrote about learning loss due to covid school closures, you can write about learning loss due to state terror.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

A lot of frustration this morning about how Trump's age and mental state were covered during the election, and I share it. But I also feel a lot of frustration about how little coverage the GOP's willingness to abandon NATO received from roughly the end of Trump's first term onward.

Attending the Missouri State of the State address from Governor Mike Kehoe as he announces cutting $600 million from the budget. Fun fact: his capital gains tax repeal blew a…$600 million hole in our budget. @wellmanformo.bsky.social #Missouri

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

There is no attitude for which legacy journalists are more often rewarded by their bosses than "Everybody needs to calm down." It is a preening announcement that you are the adult in the room, immune from emotion or overreaction or "hysteria." And it is the worst imaginable priority for this era. >
