@phac3ti0us Trump does outrageous things like this only to provoke a knee-jerk response from his deplorable base, not to solve real problems or address actual issues.
He is MAGA's favorite shock jock.
November 13th marks the beginning of Transgender Awareness Week, a week dedicated to raising visibility for transgender people and addressing the issues that members of the community face. It leads up to Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) on November 20th, which honors the memory of those who lost their lives to anti-transgender violence. ย
@Graci The erasure of LGBTQ people from the American consciousness is accelerating. Will there also be concentration camps for these folks?
Senate Republicans select Sen. John Thune of South Dakota as their new leader, replacing longtime GOP stalwart Mitch McConnell. https://t.co/2DPN56Xzzy%20https://t.co/xLAFd3pWcZ

This reminds me of my other favorite axe-throwing video.

Before Musk, Twitter was one of the most important journalistic outlets in the world. Now The Guardian, one of the most important newspapers in the world, has abandoned it.

Be excellent to one another, and take it one day at a time. It's good for you.

The purpose of America's border walls will radically change over the next four years of a Trump administration.
Originally built to keep unwanted outsiders from entering the country, they will eventually function more to imprison Americans who are looking to escape a country devolving into an armed camp of fascism and religious mania.

A critical mass of voters simply did not hear about [trump's] positions, or did not believe them if they did. (The most bleak thread in this story are interviews with unauthorized immigrants who say they would have voted for Trump if they could, assuming that surely he would not deport them, as theyโre honest and hardworking folks.)

NEW TRUMP "PROMISES":
1. A new national University w/free tuition.
2. Ten new โfreedom citiesโ.
3. A new countrywide missile defense system.
4. Manned missions to Mars.
5. Completion of the southern border wall.
6. Cut the overall federal budget by 33%.
Oh, and Mike Huckabee will achieve peace in the Middle East.
If you believe he'll keep even one of these promises in the next four years, I have a NFT of a bridge I can sell you.
@SFAstroStone We're already irrigating Gaza with Mike Huckabee. Should have the same effect.
@Zevon Mike Huckabee is not Jewish. He is an evangelical Christian. And he will do without question anything Donald Trump tells him to do (his main and AFAIK his only qualification).
Trump is appointing Mike Huckabee ambassador to Israel.
This feels simultaneously like the punchline of a really funny joke that I want to laugh my ass off at, and a nightmare that I can't wake up from.

@TLP32 Trump will never acknowledge that the economy was great when he wasn't president. Instead he'll claim, after less than a day on the job and with no supporting evidence, that he has miraculously made it great again.
And his cult followers will believe him.
@Maude It's worse than just dregs. What Trump is appointing would eat through the bottom of any normal container.
