One of Donald’s Greatest Hits is about watching a baby get vaccinated. With each retelling, the needle gets bigger. This man has never been to a well visit for any child, including his own. He is so used to his imaginary stories that it literally doesn’t matter to him.

While everything goes to shit, the Trump administration is working furiously to subsidize & support a filthy, dying industry that employs fewer people than f'ing Arby's & kills more Americans per unit of economic activity than any industry outside of guns.

Pathetic. “BIDEN” reimbursements to hand out money to states they like, to work with ICE. Across-the-board mentality of a ten year old boy trash talking because it makes his equally immature friends laugh. Running our government.

This is a campaign video posted by the Jon Ossoff for Senate in Georgia YouTube account over a year ago. It has garnered only 30,000 views on YouTube. I'm sharing this on BlueSky because I believe it's some of the best Democratic messaging that I've ever seen, and I think it deserves more views.

While we will work our butts off to make the win as big as possible, what is vital is that Democrats ACT as if they got a clear mandate. Republicans do, even when they win in a 1% 'landslide'. We MUST fix the country. Doesn't matter what % put people in place to do so.

The reason Platner has gotten roughly 10x the discussion of any of the panoply of rapists & sexual harassers in prominent positions on the right is that everyone - left, right, center, media, *everyone* - has internalized that conservatives just don't care and so there's no point talking about it.

Like many, many dynamics in US politics, this only goes one direction. Only one party is held to any moral standards. Only one party is asked to ritually reject its most ideological members. Only one party is held collectively responsible for anything any of its activists say.

Again, the unifying 🧵 about Trump’s foreign policy is not realism or neo-royalism. It’s the extension of sexual assault/predation/partner abuse to IR. If he thinks you’re his macho pal, he’ll respect you/your sovereignty. If not, he’ll try to violate you & humiliate you. Epstein-ism, if you like.
