I completely understand why folks in other countries would be poorly disposed to Americans. It's not like Trump seized power illegitimately, we did this to ourselves.

What I wonder more about is why *anyone* who isn't American would want to travel to the US.

@br00t4c Speaking as a Jew, I don't think I'll ever understand "Jews for Nazis" voters.

Disclaimer: I fully understand that MAGA is primarily a white people's disorder, and that focusing on minority Trump voters smacks of victim blaming. But still, WTF were they thinking?

@MissGayle @qualityhammer @sergiodomeyko @cindyweinstein

Legally, I think federal public employee unions might have standing or be able to file class actions on behalf of their members.

The military isn't a police force, and we probably don't want to give Defense Secretary looks good on TV any ideas. But I do wish there was someone out there brave enough to enforce the law.

@FinchHaven @inthehands @JoshuaHolland I've been saying for the last few days that all hell will break loose if the Dweeb Musketeers fuck with Social Security checks. Millions of retirees with lots of time on their hands would make a formidable opposition.

Just donated. It's a small price to pay to give a Merry Fuck You to president #musk .

@OceanPinesGuy @TCatInReality @alexproe @GottaLaff This is a prefect example of why you still vote, even if you think it's for the lesser of two evils. Would the FDA under a Democratic administration be trying to get the polio vaccine approval reversed?

There's ALWAYS a reason to vote.

@OGjester They will categorically refuse to believe their economic hardship is caused by Trump's tariffs. But they'll complain bitterly about price increases and blame it on the Democrats (because Biden or trans people or DEI or socialism or chemtrails some such shit).

And Trump's approval rating will go up because we live in the stupidest timeline.

@mjf_pro @jeffjarvis @tchambers Agreed, Rubin has been one of the most consistent anti-Trump voices in the mainstream media that can't be dismissed as a "lefty". Although she seems to have genuinely moved left over the years and has endorsed a number of Democratic policies, including pro-worker economic policy and universal health care.

@PamelaBarroway @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews @w7voa The Harris campaign's "shitpost your way to the White House" strategy is absolutley amazing. I can't even express how much I love this. I'm ecstatic to see a Democratic campaign pushing back HARD on Trump's bullshit.
