The United States has had every advantage a country could possibly ask for (geography, peaceful neighbors, natural resources, infinite supply of skilled/unskilled labor, global reserve currency).

Ashli Babbitt died trying to install a dictator.

Donald Trump ordered the DOJ to pay blood money to the family of the woman he got killed. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
U.S. to pay nearly $5 million to family of Jan. 6 rioter Ashli Babbitt
Babbitt was fatally shot by police during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The Trump administration’s decision to settle reverses the Justice Department’s earlier position.

If DOGE was a terrorist organization, the destruction they have and continue to inflict would go down as the greatest attack on America since WW2.

Every Trump EO should be ignored. 95% of it is illegal, and it's just an attempt to see what he can get away with without going through congress (which last time stopped him from doing anything besides a tax cut).

If Trump was directly taking orders from the Kremlin, what would he be doing differently?

Is anyone else noticing nazi terminology casually being thrown around in conversation these days?

I heard someone say "lebensraum" at a coffee shop yesterday. They had just moved flats and were happy with the extra bedroom.

If Zuck made the same deal with Trump TikTok did, in tying to save his company, he will have destroyed it.

The first thing that will happen when the U.S. gov swings back from MAGA will be strict transparency laws revealing who controls the flow of information, how and why.

And breaking up Meta.

Donald Trump hires 2 kinds of people: rich assholes that paid him in some way, and obedient dogs.

So if you just got a job in the new administration, ask yourself, which one are you?

Donald Trump has proven bad behavior is not only unpunished, but rewarded. His legacy will be countless copycats: lying, cheating, stealing, being awful human beings, to increase the chance of achieving their goals.

He will have made America, and the world, immeasurably more cruel and ignorant.

Election day isn't a federal holiday, but inauguration day is?

The main contributor to crisis of ignorance, conspiracy and trust in America just made a deal with the main benefactor of it.

The research on @lastweektonight1.bsky.social is typically great, this episode on TikTok was awful. Could have been written by the company's PR themselves. A lot of whataboutism, no real substance.
