A quick synopsis of the next 4 years of a Trump presidency. #politics
@Maude It's worse than just dregs. What Trump is appointing would eat through the bottom of any normal container.

When fascists come to power, the first thing they attack are national and international institutions: political parties, labor unions, churches. Anything which could be the basis of a broad-based opposition to the régime is dissolved or co-opted.
If you want to resist, you cannot abandon these institutions. They have to be protected. Once they're gone, the fascists can wipe up the smaller groups piecemeal and at their leisure. They won't be much fussed about knitting circles.
@TwiHusband As far as I know, CounterSocial is the only social media network that automatically blocks users and bots from "bad actor" countries. If you use BlueSky, Twitter or any other social media service, you won't get this protection, and will probably have to wade through a lot more spam in your timeline.

An H5N1 influenza pandemic under someone like TFG (read: horrifically mismanaged) would be catastrophic. And probably the end of their regime.
H5N1 is *extremely* lethal - with a recorded human fatality rate of over 50%.
You can't afford to mismanage a pathogen that lethal the way COVID was mismanaged; that's the kind of mistake that wipes out entire towns, destroys any semblance of order, & topples nations.
There are rapidly increasing warning signs that an H5N1 pandemic may be on its way.
@stuckinaredstate This is looking less and less like deploying a new administration, and more and more like a casting call for "Idiocracy 2".
I won't shed a single tear for anyone who chose to vote for Trump. They deserve all the pain and suffering they will experience over the next four years. Hopefully it will teach them a hard lesson about the consequences of their choices.

President-elect Donald Trump has picked South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem to lead his Department of Homeland Security, sources say. https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/12/politics/kristi-noem-homeland-security-secretary/index.html
@Iveyjanette1 Slavery will be referred to in the new history books as "The Great African American Apprenticeship Program".
Stories like this make me ashamed to call myself an American. #politics

BREAKING: Trump is expected to pick Marco Rubio to be the next Secretary of State. All White House visitors will be required to wipe their feet on the Secretary before entering the building. #politics

What our friends and relatives who scoff at us don't understand is that we haven't just lost an election.
We've lost our future.
I hope you remember that future: The one where people of all forms of gender expression, all colors, all nationalities, all religions, could meet as equals without having to kneel to another; where our method was peace, and our aim was the fulfilment of every human being according to their scope and talents;

@AmericanPartisan trump could never stand a black fella being remembered in us history for having done amazing things for his country. trump & his administration will erase from the history books anything great that black & brown folks did for america - & obama is his first stop.
BREAKING: Trump isn't waiting until Day One of his presidency to be a dictator. #politics

Barack Obama is right to be concerned about his legacy. Donald Trump has made it clear through his words and actions that he will not be happy until he has erased every good thing Obama has ever done for America. #politics

@Coctaanatis Anyone who could afford the price of admission for this kind of sabbatical most likely voted for Trump in the first place.
