Why are politicians & mainstream media not covering Trump's delusional state. He just posted on truth social that Biden was executed and was cloned? Batshit crazy. How can he legally still serve? @amyklobuchar.com @corybooker.com @nbcnews.com @cnn.com @cbsnews.com @nytimes.com @altnps.bsky.social

Trump doesn't give a crap about South Africa. But he does care about making white Americans scared of Black people. Racism is his jet fuel.

New in PN: Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation "It’s not just that Dugan was arrested, but how she was arrested. The whole point was to cause a scene. There’s no allegation she was attempting to evade arrest, but the FBI still forced a sitting judge to do a perp walk at her place of work."

Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation

What would you say if you saw it in another country?

Pete Hegseth installed a make-up station at the Pentagon. JD Vance loves a smoky dark eyeliner. Trump cakes on orange base till he resembles an Oompa Loompa. And these guys say LGBTQs are threatening gender norms?

So Fox poll says Trump is at 33% on tariffs and inflation; 38% on taxes and the economy. But but but immigration ... well, about that.

@mcuban.bsky.social I just read about your generosity to workers when you sell a company. Just so you know, if I were a billionaire, I'd be YOUR kind of billionaire. Oh & if you want to hire a 59 y.o. (in denial she turned 60) witty writer, editor & artist, I'm absolutely available.

Slavery was not "Black/White cooperation." The Underground Railroad was not made to "bridge the divides of race". There's a clear & present danger in whitewashing history. Friends in the Nat Parks are doing their best. Dear God, help them & help all of us. #Tubman #corybooker #altnationalparks

Sorry @mcuban.bsky.social I appreciate all you do, but I was an English major, not econ. You lost me at reduced liquidity requirements. It all sounds like a foreign language. 😆 I'm leaving this to you smart finance folks. This probably also explains why you are wealthy & I struggle. #markcuban

My son gave me Skyrim for my birthday. Our dog often notices what is happening on screen. In Skyrim you must kill lots of vicious wolves. Whenever this happens, I quickly look to ensure the dog isn't watching, because I don't want him to know I am murdering his canine cousins. #dogsofbluesky #gaming

"What does the Bible say about immigrants? What does the Bible say about the poor? About the prostitutes, the hated, the looked down upon...How many times does the Bible mention poverty? 2000 times...it calls upon us to love the poor, to love our neighbor, no exceptions to that." #CoryBooker 4/1/25

We know there's a nazi-esque program for DEI snitching in schools & Musk is paying to sway votes. I am starting to wonder if Project 25 is giving $ to community snitches. I'm seeing Trumpers suddenly able to afford new SUVs etc that they couldn't afford before. Sounds conspiricist, but is it?

Racist Pete Hegseth stripped Colin Powell's name from Arlington's website. Gen. Powell was the first African American to serve as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and later Sec. of State. I simply cannot get over the fact that half of America endorses blatant racism. #racism #felon47 #hegseth
