When the fuck is the National Strike? That shit would be on and popping if we were in Europe!
Rocky and Tucker having fun as our democracy crumbles.
How in the hell is this anything other than troubling? Elon Musk and his merry band of reverse-Robin Hood assholes are going to ruin us all.
Whew! Now that was a press conference. I see Trump is back to playing his greatest hits.
Anyone remember the right-wing conniption when Michelle Obama tried to get healthier foods in our schools, yet a white man (RFK Jr.) proposes the same and he’s met with roses and accolades?
Racism. Their party is pure racism.
I generally don’t traffic in conspiracies theories or loony mumbo jumbo, but what if Trump’s desire to buyout two million federal workers is so that he can turn over the government to AI systems from all the tech bros who’ve been supporting him?
Is that even possible? I know it sounds crazy.
The question now is: How much further will we as Americans tolerate this very clear parallel to so many atrocities that have come before us?
How much of your comfort needs to be disrupted for you to SAY SOMETHING or DO SOMETHING to end this attack on the humanity of so many?
STAND THE FUCK UP!
I’m not going out on the limb yet and calling Trump and his goons Nazis. The history of comparing political offenses to them is beyond problematic and reductive.
I will say with absolute clarity that the “othering” or marginalized groups WAS an early characteristic of Hitler and the Nazi Party.
For years, we’ve sat back as a nation listening to the false outrage and grievances of the GOP.
So now that there are ACTUALLY things to be outraged about and ACTUAL grievances that will impact MILLIONS of lives, where in the hell is the Democratic Party?
Do we even HAVE an opposition party?
Can anyone explain to me what the function of the Democratic Party is today and how it is serving that function?
Are they still around? If so, is there any evidence of that?
What in the ever-loving fuck?
Y’all…this is huge. This is literally Project 2025. Trump and his minions are looking for the country to collapse.
They. Want. Queer. Folks. Dead.
Period. There’s no debate here.
The cruelty is the point.
Dr. Phil is now going on ICE deportation “ride-alongs.”
Don’t tell me the cruelty isn’t the point.
Trump is turning this into a fucking reality television show.
Our country is losing its collective humanity at a frighteningly fast clip.
The amount of criminality and just general awfulness we are seeing from this second Trump term is unprecedented.
Like any horror movie, the sequel will be worse than the first and far bloodier.
I weep for my country.
What is illegal, though, is Congress requires a 30-day notice before inspectors general are fired. Trump did not provide this notice and even Trump bootlicker Sen. Chuck Grassley confirmed this in a statement, though neither he nor any other GOP member of Congress will do anything about it.
The firing of the inspectors general last week may not have been the impeachable offense (although it’s certainly slimy, unethical, and fits with Trump’s inability to ever be held accountable).
According to some legal scholars and elected members of Congress, Trump likely has already committed an impeachable offense less than a week into his second term.
Stole this from my friend @stevenhnewton.bsky.social from his Facebook page.
I hate to sound so down about all this, but the deeper we enter this hellscape, the more I truly believe this.
The cruelty IS the point.
Lolol
Colombia is the second largest exporter of coffee to the United States, supplying more than a quarter of our country’s favorite caffeinated beverage bean.
Expect to pay more for that daily cup now that Trump has imposed tariffs.
Those egg prices go down yet? Are we making America great again?
Getting rid of inspectors general is a bad move. Because it shows the new administration has lots to hide and doesn’t want independent investigators (which is what inspectors general are) finding any of the mess.
This what y’all voted for?
A man lying down hugging a Boston terrier.
Two of my loves: Jose and Rocky.
Tucker was at daycare when this picture was taken.
Some of you are spending too much time defending Elon Musk and what were clearly two Nazi salutes.
How do we know this? He addressed Germany’s far-right AfG party today (a party steeped in white nationalism and antisemitism), telling them Germany focuses “too much on past guilt.”
Well, Trump today just rescinded protections for Dr. Fauci, a man who has had legitimate threats against his and his family’s lives FOR years and who served in the Federal gov’t for over 40 years.
Republicans are hypocrites.
Trump is evil.
We should abide NONE of this.
Remember when Republicans went ape shit crazy when Biden wouldn’t grant RFK Jr. Secret Service protections during the primary campaign last year?
RFK was not polling incredible numbers and he wasn’t a sitting federal official or employee.
But the GOP lost its mind.

Tucker went to doggy day care so I could work peacefully from home today. And because he likes seeing his friends there from time to time.
Rocky is a homebody. He’s not a big fan of doggy day care. So here he is chilling while I work on the computer.
He’s such good, good boy.
They are really the best boys. With all the chaos going on right now, they are the ones keeping me sane.
