I still cannot believe this is real. It’s psychotic. There are many, many (SO MANY) more consequential heinous things they’ve done, but somehow the crassness of this seems like a new low. The White House shitposting like an especially mean and stupid 14-year-old.

Donald Trump taken to task over his bigotry towards LGBT people and immigrants in Washington National Cathedral by Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde. Trump didn’t like it at all, telling the media afterwards he “didn't think it was a good service”.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social on Trump’s pardon of 1,500 Jan. 6 offenders: “By endorsing and celebrating their actions today… Trump has said, ‘If you carry out acts of violence to try to put your favorite leader in power, there's a good chance you will never, ever be held accountable for it.’”

Fanone: The Republican party owns a monopoly on hypocrisy when it comes to their supposed support of law enforcement because tonight the leader of the Republican party pardoned hundreds of violent cop assaulters.

Trump just withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization.

The US is now the only country in the world besides Liechtenstein to not be a member of the organization.

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

Trump and His Picks Threaten More Lawsuits Over Critical Coverage
The small flurry of threatened defamation suits is the latest sign that the incoming Trump administration appears poised to do what it can to crack down on unfavorable media coverage.

All of you surprised by how many people cheer the murder of Brian Thompson, let me remind you that a majority of mostly poor Americans are so angry at life they voted for a lying, racist, misogynistic rapist felon to lead their country. You think they care about the death or a rich and crooked CEO?

This is a pretty deep point.

There’s something weird about guys with Fuck You money who *only* say “fuck you” to people lower than them on the food chain, but are constantly sucking up to people higher than they are.
I would think that the entire fun of being a billionaire would be never having to suck up to anyone, least of all dipshits like Donald Trump, but apparently I’m wrong.

Too many people have forgotten what it means to be an American, to live by American values. Some of us are too far gone and will never be back. But today the rest of us should read this - and remember.

I love @crampell.bsky.social because she’s so good at stating the facts in a way that causes those who “voted out the incumbent” to be frozen with a strange look on their face.
If you voted out the incumbent because you thought grocery prices were too high, I got some bad news from you.
For example, 90% of our avocados come from Mexico. Guac is REALLY gonna cost extra

Why 90% of the U.S. avocado supply comes from Mexico
Avocados' popularity has skyrocketed in the U.S. thanks to Mexico, which provides nearly 90% of U.S. avocado supply. Can the U.S. ever catch up?

It's disheartening that in an age where knowledge has never been more accessible - the United States is about to be governed by an administration so primitive and ignorant as to believe that tariffs are good and that vaccines are bad.

I’m very disappointed with so many americans voting for Trump, and I am astonished by how incompetent and despicable his cabinet and entourage are. On the bright side, it is such a viper pit, it will be fun to watch them fight and kill one another. First to go: Matt Gaetz. Who’s next? #MAGACult

I don’t ultimately believe it but man it’s hard to look at this graph without thinking politics is hopeless.
I keep thinking about this chart and would love to know the data for nonvoters
