When Charlie Kirk died, Trump and his sycophants demanded punishment for anybody who spoke ill of him. JD Vance told people to report folks to their employers. Federal agencies threatened discipline for employees who criticized Kirk by speaking, truthfully about his bigotry . Trump even escalated the climate of intimidation by threatening  that networks that criticized him too harshly could lose their licenses.  Fast forward to Robert Mueller’s death, Trump said “Good I’m glad he’s dead.” That tells you everything you need to know. They don’t want decency. They want obedience. They don’t oppose cruelty. They reserve cruelty for their enemies and demand sympathy for their friends. That is not principle. That’s hypocrisy. It’s despicable, shameless, vile, hypocritical, morally bankrupt, callous, authoritarian, inhumane, and utterly devoid of any ethical consistency.

Making old tweets great again.

I’m not sure there’s ever been a president more distant from the ideals of the Founders of the United States and the Framers of the Constitution—and more detached from the core American culture of liberty, individualism, and self-determination—than President Trump.

Shocking: a dimwitted racist host on Fox?

Good morning to everyone who thinks the President of the United States should know who he is pardoning.

Republicans are having a big, public argument about the antisemitism that has contaminated their party. Democrats aren't.

Instead we have the absurd spectacle of police unions that endorsed Trump releasing statements deploring the thing he promised over and over again to do on the very first day of a restored presidency: pardon the supporters who attacked Congress to keep him in power. 8/x

@ColdBrewCookies Nice! Thank you for this.

Enjoyed one last girls’ brunch before the world goes to shit on Monday.

Fifteen years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations & billionaires like Jeff Bezos & Elon Musk can spend infinite amounts in elections to buy influence. Citizens United must be overturned so our democracy works for working Americans, not the 1%.

If you didn’t vote or voted third party and you’re shocked and upset at what Trump is doing, please know that you are part of the problem and deserve every horrible thing that’s coming to you.

@USFWSPacific Please create a presence on bsky as well. Tons of nature lovers and researchers there.

One extra Wisdom scene for all her fans 🖤🩶💛 Wisdom, the legendary Laysan albatross or mōlī, left with red leg tag, stands to interact with her new mate prior to laying an egg at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, Nov. 26, 2024.

Exactly

@ColdBrewCookies Ouch! Right but i would say like the last 9 years. We don't fight back well and we're too afraid to attack.

@Botany_Bob Nothing, just lay down and die like the democrats did for the last 4 years, a slow grueling death.

There’s no hoping for anything. Anything good is gone. Just suffering and despair. I don’t want to live in a Trump America with people emboldened by hate and cruelty.

@AshaRangappa_ Dems aren't comfortable lying constantly so that won't work.

@birdmapper I so hear you and feel the same. It's deeply depressing.

How does one continue raising children, training the next generation of scientists, and attempting to help save the world when we continually get signaled that bigotry, misogyny, racism, and hate are what prevails. I’m in shock that so many people get behind these ideas 😔

@Jess_Sassenach Nice!

Line at U Penn this morning. First time Gen Z voters coming out for Harris 🩵💙

I’m confident that the women of this great nation will protect all of us.
