It's pretty revealing that noone in Democratic party leadership has praised Mamdani as much as Trump did today.

The entire MAGA campaign encapsulated in one unironic tweet.
This would have been a SNL parody just a few years ago.
Now it’s the naked official policy position of the United States of Fascist America.

The only thing that matters in this country is money.
If you have enough money, the richest, most powerful people will say "things happen" to describe the drugging, murder, and dismemberment of a journalist.
And it's not just DJT. It's all your favorites.

In shocking news, the Feds are lying. While you should never trust the FBI, it’s a whole new game with Trump.
Soon they’ll tell you organizers are terrorists. They’ll arrest a bunch after telling scary sounding lies about them. They might kill some people.
Don’t believe a word they say. Ever.

Don’t think ppl understand the terror the Feds are unleashing on the streets of LA right now. Roving patrols targeting vulnerable individuals. It’s horrible.
There’s no one coming to save us except ourselves.

The past week+ has been really intense in Los Angeles. We need all of the help, support, & attention we can get. Feds are literally roving the streets snatch & grabbing vulnerable individuals. It's horrific. We need to do more.
Feds are once again ruthlessly targeting ktown & adjacent areas. This is getting really intense. We need to do more.

Hahaha, yes, for real. Someone build a time machine and say this to Van Jones 10 years ago.
Then come back to the present and tell the rest of these clowns to shut the fuck up forever: Schumer, Pelosi, Jeffries, Elon, Ackman, Thiel, Yarvin, Klein, Yglesias, and so many more.

I agree electing Mamdani is the most significant electoral victory in quite some time, but let’s save a few superlatives just in case all the billionaires leave, all the cops quit, and Dershowitz actually shoots himself.

Good to see they understand this concept. Now, go back to virtually every SCT decision under Trump’s rule and apply it.

The billionaire class that owns your favorite team (including mine) probably supports Trump, ICE kidnappings and murders in the Caribbean. If they don’t agree, they are at least willing to ignore his overt racism so long as they make more money.

This is of course ridiculous.
But why do journalists ask Bill Gates what he thinks about education, Elon Musk what he thinks about the federal government, or Bill Ackman what he thinks about NYC?
Their only expertise is how to steal ideas, shortcut the law, avoid taxes, and fire workers.

One way the media keeps you uninformed is to treat billionaires as experts.
Why is Gates’ opinion about climate change important? Is he a scientist, a PhD student, or a researcher in the field?
No, he’s just a rich businessman and funder. The only angle should be how this makes him richer.

If we take only one thing from the Trump era, it's that the US government, cops, feds, and powerful people lie, whether it's to cover:
ICE kidnappings,
police killings,
genocide in Palestine,
torture renamed “enhanced interrogation,” or
coups disguised as “democracy promotion.

I hope no one really thinks we can rely on state and city cops to arrest federal cops and stop fascism.
These cops will stick up for each other way before they do anything for you.

@repdangoldman.bsky.social, addressing reporters about 4 US citizens held overnight at 26 Federal Plaza, says the NYPD should arrest ICE agents for excessive force. He also announced a new task force, but no details on who will be on it or how it will meaningfully assist people targeted by ICE

This explicitly means Trump can order your murder, produce no evidence, simply by claiming you were a terrorist.
After your murder, the @nytimes.com will run a both sides piece saying some legal experts claim your murder was illegal but the President said it’s not, so it’s really a toss up.

There were three No Kings protests in Thousand Oaks throughout the day.
If you’re familiar with this town, you know that it’s not exactly a hot bed of activism.
It’s a good sign that Trump and his MAGA fascists can’t even bully the people of Thousand Oaks.
There is resistance everywhere.

Just went to the Thousand Oaks No Kings protest. The idea that these rallies feature America hating radicals might be one of the Trump administration’s most visibly obvious lies, coming in just behind his reported weight of 224 pounds.
