I think Americans have to understand things won't go back to normal and no one is coming to save us. The self destructive decision to vote for Trump is going to cause long term pain, damage and weakness. We have to survive and try to rebuild something better. Generational effort sadly.

This kinda shit is infuriating. Where was the compassion from the Republicans when ONE MILLION people (including THEIR OWN loved ones) died from Covid due to Trump’s mishandling of a MAJOR fucking pandemic???

Why are the Dems not cutting ads everywhere on all of Trump’s broken campaign promises (lowering groceries on day one, ending the Ukraine-Russia war in 24 hours, etc.)???
Repetition is key and they STILL have not grasped that concept..

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

See heres the thing. White America wont admit that Kamala Harris’s joy and positivity was what made them not take her seriously. They will never admit that seeing Black Americans express such joy bothers them and they won’t examine why.

I'm stepping on the theme of Chris' book here but, we have an extremely toxic information environment controlled by wealthy oligarchs who have aligned themselves with Trump, the whole point is to manipulate people into making poor decisions. bsky.app/profile/chri...
People’s reactions to these stories tend to be of the leopards-eating-faces variety but this is a great piece of reporting in part about how voters very disconnected from politics make their choices.

Let me get this straight:
A 6x bankrupt convicted felon says he's gonna run the gov't like a business?
And the guy who spent $44bn on Twitter is gonna stop gov't waste?
By creating a NEW GOV'T AGENCY to make govt smaller?
And firing unqualified ppl?
Aight.

The Wonderful Wizards of White People
Apparently, some people actually believe a felon with six bankruptcies and a Nazi-saluting car salesman will protect them from waste, fraud, abuse ... and Black people.

DOGE quietly deleted the 5 biggest spending cuts it celebrated last week:
* An $8 billion cut at ICE was actually $8 million
* Three $655 million cuts at USAID were actually a single cut counted three times
* A $232 million cut at the SSA was actually $565,000
