This meeting is not an indication that things are now “normal” and should not be portrayed as such by the media. https://t.co/A6pwDfCbOp

[Dear Reader @jk_steady]

Resistance that once felt like love now feels futile, at least on this hellscape of Musk's.

[Dear Reader @jk_steady]

We have to watch as they burn it all to the ground. It almost seems like they're breaking society on purpose, piece by piece, but I think their collective egos & stupidity actually cause them to believe their own manufactured hype. Such foolishly cavalier stewards of mediocrity.

The Trump ally and anti-vax conspiracist takes aim at the agencies he loathes.

@cwebbonline Dark money groups spent God only knows what to get rid of Sherrod Brown in Ohio. Never in my life had I witnessed such a coordinated political attack against someone.

@joncoopertweets Nope. It's outlined in Project 2025. They put it all in writing. A lot of us just didn't, couldn't, wouldn't read the entire 900 pages .
It's going to be bad. Really really bad 😱😵‍💫

[Dear Reader @jk_steady]

@joncoopertweets Already, it has jumped the shark. He thinks he's narrating the White Wizard of Oz.

[Dear Reader @jk_steady]

From bottom to top. Subservience. They'd rather be obedient dogs than to think for themselves. It almost lasted 250 years. But by 2026, it'll be something different entirely.

they're thirsty for a dictatorship

[Ellen Barkin @EllenBarkin]

Are you still asking ‘How?’

Half of American adults read below a 6th level. That’s how.

[Dear Reader @jk_steady]

Nothing to see here. Empty barrels bombastically exposing the abyss of emptiness in the big experiment. Human greed is the greatest parasite of all time. Humankind is eating itself from the inside out. Guess it's a good thing to have the inevitable fall of humanity hastened?!

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

No it is the arrival of the Sovereign Individual and the dismantling of democracy and the carving up of the state between rich friends. The good news is that the egos are so large they will probably end up dismantling each other

Governor Andy Beshear, in a Trump +30 state, gives advice to Democrats: Do not throw LGBTQ+ people under the bus, it will not work.

His advice to dems: Lead on your values.

This man ran on a fully inclusive campaign in 2023 and won. He received the same kind of ads Harris did.

Rep. @AOC: “The Democratic Party is not a Left party. We can’t even get an up or down floor vote on Medicare for All.”

[Bill Scher @billscher]

Democrats after losing by 2 points: Our brand is in ashes. We need a complete overhaul.

Republicans after losing by 4.5 points: Let's run the same guy again.

@RadioFreeTom The demise is a lock. America is 5th century Rome with pedal to the medal.

Congratulations to our new co-presidents, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel.

[deray @deray]

Over the next four years, we will need to help people make the link between Trump's actions and their lives. There is a disconnect.

[NoelCaslerComedy @caslernoel]

If feel like the bacon appetizer at Trump’s DC Hotel should have been introduced as evidence.

[WIRED @WIRED]

Pro-Trump groups have spent years building election denial networks that, combined with Big Tech’s hands-off approach and continued foreign interference, have created a toxic information ecosystem. https://t.co/0X6zkv1SXi

If this is normal to you, and I say this with love, your ass has been slow-walked to Crazytown.
