There going to be an immense political push to look forward, not back, to "heal the nation." But the nation isn't going to be healed if we don't listen to the historians telling us that MAGA leaders must be imprisoned, their entire movement destroyed, the earth salted, real American values restored.
This @propublica.org investigation into how the Trump regime has commandeered the nation’s election oversight and security apparatus is one of the most important in modern American history and I strongly encourage everyone to make time to read it and consider how to counter the regime’s efforts.
Democrats would be wise to start telling us that the next President will not be able to wave a wand and fix things in 4 yrs.
State clearly we will need decades to fix the damage and first priority is to contain AND PROSECUTE the perpetrators, every single one. But do not promise the Rubes a miracle
i feel that a lot of these guys only are taken seriously because male body dysmorphia isn’t as socially legible as female body dysmorphia
A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections: Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again." Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m Magyar's speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: "He's basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired." •.. Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 22m He's announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution Office so anyone in the country can be charged.

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 20m Magyar says he's starting work with the EU and NATO immediately. "The EU doesn't have to worry anymore."
From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.
"How would you help advance the President’s Executive Orders and policy priorities?" has been a standard question for new federal job applicants since Trump changed federal hiring policies.
Hope that makes you feel better about air travel.

UK salaries are genuinely horrifying, that's roughly what you get as a grad student in Germany on a 60% contract (gross), with almost certainly lower cost of living.
(Bundesbank Traineeships pay slightly better still due to federal vs state payscales etc, should be slightly upwards of 60k euros)
This is a rehash of the vibecession debates but median household income adjusted for inflation hit a record in 2024 (2025 data will be released in September). It’s just *not true* in any objective sense that people don’t have money anymore. It may *feel* that way but that’s different from reality.
People have been shocked that an AI company is offering chats with an AI Jesus for $1.99/minute but it's important to remember and respect the fact that a core part of American evangelicalism is being financially defrauded by people who claim to speak for god
Had a thug with kratom eyes from a gang called ICE check my ID so I could get on an airplane about four hours ago. I’m still mad hours later. This shouldn’t be a thing that happens. The agency needs to be dissolved the second power allows it. Even kratom eyes needs to hear the clank of a jail cell.
So we can do automatic voter registration then
12/ The company’s motto was: "With ten social media likes I can predict your behaviour better than your co-worker; with 300 likes, better than your spouse." Let that sink in. They could know you better than the people you live with.
Nuremberg was an important symbol of German nationhood so I say with 100% sincerity that this is a job for Philadelphia
A reminder that the Heritage Foundation architected Project 2025 with Viktor Orbán in mind. Kevin Roberts called modern Hungary “the model” for conservative statecraft.
Far-right authoritarianism is a globally collaborative movement.
Erratic.
Can’t finish sentences.
Often confused.
Illogical train of thought.
Word finding difficulties.
Developing and worsening gradually over time.
The President is exhibiting all the signs of dementia.
Trump: Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time!
It cannot be ruled out that this is a threat to use a nuclear weapon against Iran
TRUMP: "I'm gonna fuckin' blow up all the fuckers! I wanna use all the bombs before I die! Helter skelter! Helter skelter! Race war! Race war! Fuck Easter and fuck you, too!"
NEWS: "Trump promises to strengthen military in early morning Easter greeting."
There is likely a vigorous debate right now in NYT newsroom over how to handle this unhinged post by the President of the United States, either (a) ignore, or (b) sanewash.
Sadly for US, no one in Corporate Media would ever consider (c) transparently report on the mental condition of the President.
Perhaps now that Trump has pushed the world into a dangerous economic and energy crisis we should discuss how Trump managed the last major crisis he faced - COVID......
This is how we have a nuclear incident
Worldwide Caution Security alert March 22, 2026 - The Department of State advises Americans worldwide to exercise increased caution.

State Department issues "Worldwide Caution" memo to all Americans abroad as a result of Trump's war
Should really pay attention to this coalition
A concise rundown of the economic/political/social catastrophe Trump has unleashed upon the world through his profoundly stupid actions.
On Monday, ICE will be going to airports to help our wonderful TSA Agents who have stayed on the job despite the fact that the Radical Left Democrats, who are only focused on protecting hard line criminals who have entered our Country illegally, are endangering the USA by holding back the money that was long ago agreed to with signed and sealed contracts, and all. But watch, no matter how great a job ICE does, the Lunatics leading the incompetent Dems will be highly critical of their work. THEY WILL DO A FANTASTIC JOB. The great Tom Homan is in charge!!! President DJT
Trump: "On Monday, ICE will be going to airports to help our wonderful TSA Agents"
finally, japan answers america’s call to help open the strait of hormuz
I’m sure others have noticed that Trump is threatening to do to Iran’s power plants what Russia has actually tried to do to Ukraine’s for the last couple of years. A war crime, yes, but Russian political culture is barbarism, so we expect it from them. Via @shipwreck75.bsky.social
Remember how Trump and the GOP went absolute bonkers when the Obama Administration released $1 billion dollars in funds that already belonged to Iran but were trapped in the USA by sanctions?
Trump just waived all sanctions on over $15 billion in Iranian oil sales.
Where's the GOP outcry?
