A Trump presidency 2.0 could potentially lead to a full blown European war… but racists love the idea of a dictatorship where they’re on top. Funny thing is, once elected the dictator never cares about who got them there. So they're sitting there in their living rooms yelling at the TV lighting up a stick of dynamite like it was a cigarette. Because the only thing worse than them not getting, is a brown person getting.

The man is unhinged: “No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.”

The fate of the planet is apparently in the hands of people who think Taylor Swift is a psyop or something. I just can’t. Some people don’t deserve the internet.

I’m tired of needing to care about what YouTube rabbit holes racists on the other side of the planet are plunging into.

For the record, punching a Nazi under fascism is patriotic.

Fuck allies, get co-conspirators

I guess this is me:

As someone who’s done C++ for 20 years: Rewrite it in Rust

C++ as a community is too toxic and largely unwilling to do the work to change. Ditching C++ makes it possible to move away from that culture.

Ok, this thread by @cwebber is about Bluesky infrastructure architecture, but tbh, this point here goes for a democracy too. It needs to be designed to be as resilient as possible if/when hostile forces gain control over it.

I am extremely happy with my gif usage in this thread on Bluesky

You want to be scared? Watch Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa talk about how fast institutions were dismantled in the Philippines, after pointing out that they had modeled their constitution and democracy on America.

He should’ve been in jail years ago, and here you are.

So I guess the Democrats are just going to hand over the country to a despot because that’s what you do when you play by the rules? Good luck with that. Good luck with history recording you as the Good Guys that handed over the nation to a fascist dictator.

As wild as it sounds, I’m starting to root for variation on Costa Rica’s “Civil War” : arrest Trump and call a new election.

“Gen Mark Milley, the top US military leader, resisted Donald Trump’s demands that his forces “crack skulls” and “beat the fuck out” of protesters marching against police brutality and structural racism, according to a much-trailed new book. “Just shoot them,” the president reportedly said.”

And there you have it. Trump confirms that he will deploy the US military inside the US.

This video had a nice graphic, not done watching it yet.

Lol, the title of the video is confident but the video itself is anything but

There is still very little talk about it, probably because he threw a whole pile of handgranades this week.
