RULES FOR BLUESKY

Welcome friends! Here are some differences from the BirdSite that I hope you'll respect.

1. We do not quote dunk. Quote dunking is a miserable thing to do. It spreads terrible crap to your friends feeds and generates rage clicks. I unfollow people who quote dunk.

This is why I think the whole “GOP collapses after Trump dies” theory doesn’t hold much weight. They are able to control all the information they push out to their 30% of the population. They will just change the story and their followers will follow

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders
Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why." Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!" First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?" Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization." Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces. Proud to be an American today! USA 🇺🇸" Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster." Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City." Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position" Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"

This war is completely illegitimate: 60% of Americans disapprove of going to war with Venezuela—74% disapprove war without Congressional approval. Only 19% are in favor.

The people oppose it. Our representatives didn’t approve it. Trump should be removed for this unconstitutional war.

You cannot say stopping an authoritarian regime from invading a democratic country isn't our business and then invade, kill 40 people, and extradite the leader of a country because it "isn't democratic enough" for you

Then talk about how we control its oil reserves

We're a pirate nation

This is the same president that said it wasn't the US's job to get involved in Ukraine, when an authoritarian dictatorship was invading a sovereign democracy, but now it's the US's job to invade Venezuela?

The US has attacked a country, kidnapped its head of state, and is seizing its oil. Trump has invoked the Monroe Doctrine.

This is a moment for Canada to stand up: condemn this act of imperialism. Reject impunity and the politics of brute force.

For their anti-immigrant, white nationalist post about 100 million deportations, DHS stole the artwork of a non-white foreigner: Japanese illustrator Hiroshi Nagai.

Apparently no white Americans were available to design an image. View Nagai's work here: hiroshinagai.com/contents.html

Two thing are for certain:

1. Trumpism will not die with Trump.

2. The Democratic establishment will find a way to fumble this by making a play for disaffected Trump voters rather than disaffected Democratic voters.

The Dem Party still hasn't had their equivalent of a Tea Party reckoning.

By the way, Gavin Newsom is apparently raising money to fight AGAINST the billionaire tax. So thoughtful of him to come to their aid at this particular time in history,
New York Times: The measure faces opposition from Silicon Valley investors and others, including Gov. Gavin Newsom. At The New York Times DealBook conference this month, Mr. Newsom said a wealth tax was not pragmatic. The Democrat, who has been close with people like Mr. Page, is raising money for a committee to oppose the measure. The committee received a $100,000 donation from the venture capitalist Ron Conway in November, according to state campaign finance records.
