Women, then gays, then the white men who support minorities, women, or lgbt, then the white men who don’t actively pledge allegiance to Trump, then even those that do pledge allegiance to Trump

There is no last group they’ll attack.

On our Thanksgiving, my country’s leader will instead post a rambling social media message that will attack his political opponents, call half his citizens domestic terrorists and lie about everything he can think of.

I’m just going to save your message for November, instead.

I played Tsushima a while ago and story was amazing, but the gameplay got repetitive - is this better?

Also, fuck these misogynistic gamers

All the people putting messages blaming Democrats for the shutdown on official government websites are breaking the law and @democrats.org should tell them that they will be charged as soon as Dems get power.

Every minor govt worker involved in every minor illegal act should face justice.

This is just another move in their Nazi-like eugenics goals. It’s why CDC has turned into the center for “if you got sick, it’s your fault”

TikTok is dead. It’s an arm of the Trump administration now. Hopefully, most young people aren’t so stupid to not realize it.

Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 2d

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

I’m glad Nobel said ’fuck you’ to Trump, but the person who they gave it to is a far right Trump supporter, so not very happy with it.

She stopped getting attention when other crazy people got put in higher positions in government than her, so she’s trying to get attention by being contrarian to them. She’s the same shitty person as ever.

If fascism gets total control, they’re all done also (except maybe Fox). This is short sighted idiocy by @cbsnews.com … They get their merger and alienate all their potential viewers. MAGA isn’t going to give up their Nazi media to go to CBS.

The military largely voted for these guys. Will they learn who the real pro-military people are… doubt it.

“NPR wasn't immediately able to independently confirm that number.”

But you went ahead and printed an absurd number that is clearly bullshit anyway.

Day 14. NPR just going with Trump’s propaganda. Last sentence is that they can’t verify the numbers, but they went ahead and presented them as fact anyway. Fail. 1 of 14.

Yeah, but it’d be funny if they think you’re on their side with that flag, then you tell them “I want the armed federal agents out of my city” and watch them try to defend Trump’s Gestapo.
