Something I wish more Americans understood: Bad Leader One resisting/fighting/taking down Bad Leader Two does not make Bad Leader One suddenly good. And the fact that good reasons exist to take down Bad Leader Two doesn't mean that's why One was/is opposed to Two. This applies to SO many situations.

Still incredible to me they tried to fake a Situation Room in a Florida supper club.
Several of the photos have Twitter up on a screen in the background but I can’t make out what search term appears

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Truly, how has the Mission Impossible franchise not rebooted yet? The Tom Cruise movies are themselves a reboot, so it's extra surprising that it's lasted all the way from 1996 to the present day without at least a fresh face as the lead.

Maybe if Oliver North had more than a slap on the wrist back in the late 80s, no one would think this was a good and profitable idea now.

And non-performative giving up on the whole process after trying *twice* also matters. People notice the giving up part.
My position on impeachment is the same as it was six months ago: Impeachment is first about driving public attention to Trump’s crimes and corruption.
Democrats should introduce impeachment articles and force votes to boost their parallel media effort.
Performative public investigations matter.

Why push for impeachment?
Because politics is an exercise in moving public opinion as much as counting votes in the senate.
The Jan 6 Hearings were not a criminal proceeding against Trump that would end in jail, but they focused public attention.

In 2018, Bernie Sanders stopped railing against the millionaires and billionaires. He instead switched his focus to the billionaires. Coincidentally, that was the year his net worth broke into the millions.
We talk a lot about the billionaire class on Bluesky, but let's talk about how the millionaire class enables them.
I'm including folks who have a net worth of $1-10 million, because many don't think of themselves as rich... just "normal middle class." That's a problem. Wealth w/o noblesse oblige.

A lot of journalists just think brown people are subhuman and their states and governments are inherently illegitimate
Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

Interesting thread that jibes with the feeling I’ve been having of “wait so what the fuck are they doing now”
16 hours in, my guess this was all intended basically as a coup to put VP Delcy Rodriguez in power (likely without her knowledge but 🤷).
At least for democracy & human rights, that might be even worse than the "opening shots in a war" scenario.
All speculation, but let me explain:

Trump, slurring: The Monroe Doctrine is a big deal, but we've superseded it by a lot... by a real lot. They now call it the Donroe document, I don't know. It's uhhhh... Monroe Doctrine

I don't really understand what Trump is trying to accomplish with these tweets. Anyone with brain cells can tell he's a child brained psycho, and even his cult can't be reassured reading something less believable than a toddler's made up stories. 🤷♂️
The doctors chosen by a criminal fraud who knowingly surrounded himself with criminals willing to lie, commit crimes, and fall on a grenade for him said he's in good mental health, so that should totally be "okay" for everyone to believe. Right.

This sure feels like an end run to kill vote by mail.
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

“Jobs” isn’t a good enough reason to let a corporation poison your town.
