Frum's right. You just can't compare Trump 2.0 to any U.S. admin bc the scale & scope of his corruption completely defiled our country & its institutions in 1 year!
Founders' mechanisms meant to constrain a president are wholly inadequate when the majority party & SCOTUS are equally corrupted.
Still a great tshirt
“BARI WEISS” 🤣(TIM DILLON): “When David Ellison called and asked me if I want to run CBS News, I had to think about it - because I really enjoy my blog, my 17 listeners, and this podcast… but I ultimately decided $150 Million was enough money.”

They tried intimidation. Minnesota answered with people.
We can honor Catherine O'Hara through buying, renting, and streaming her filmography over the next few days, so that the revenue is more than the box office receipts for "Melania" on opening weeken--oh, excuse me...
[puts finger to ear]
...okay, yes, I'm being told that's already happened.
we will not be silenced.
"2026 is going to be my year," I whisper, clicking refresh on fifteen different social media apps to make sure I'm not going to be drafted into the Canada-US-Greenland Critical Minerals War tomorrow
For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:
When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.
Alex Pretti was a dog lover, a biker, a hiker. Like me. Alex Pretti is all of us. Never again is now.
#iceoutnowBut they got their filthy lucre, so all good, right? (Pro tip: Fascists will inevitably come for them too, most of all.)
That tech oligarchs are noisy and incensed about the remote possibility of a wealth tax and utterly silent about the murder of a man who was only using the phone they invented to chronicle the thuggish government goon squads should tell you everything about these desiccated souls.
Alex Pretti's last act as a human being was to protect the vulnerable.
The face of a very evil man who knows he is going to Hell. And likely very soon.
NEW
Statement from the family of Alex Pretti:
Alex Pretti, 37, murdered by the Republican Party.

Prime Minister Mark Carney leads Conservative Party Pierre Poilievre as the best choice for prime minister by 26 points.
Carney:
"In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness... Canada can't solve all the world's problems. But we can show that another way is possible. That the arc of history isn't destined to be warped toward authoritarianism".
there's no answer to the question 'what's it gonna take?' but that doesn't stop it from popping into my head every goddamn time I look at the news
Nothing left of him
Very much a choice here to not go with “Pardoned J6 rioter chased…”
McBride: Look, people are clutching their pearls at this guy yelling something at the president. They are more offended by a worker standing up to the president and calling him out for his hypocrisy than they are by the president trying to cover up for a human trafficking ring

The UK, Canada and Australia are considering banning X.
And yet, the progressive movement and Democratic Party still haven’t figured out how to boycott it.
/2 (4) Also they know that praising a murderer enrages and horrifies decent people and (5) they hate and resent decent people because they are shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture and they know it
Trumpists will be giving the ICE murderer awards and recognitions and honors. That’s because (1) killing someone who thinks differently than they do is their fantasy (2) most of them are too spineless to do it but (3) by praising the murderer they can murder in a fantasy-league way
Danish guy gets it
We spoke with farmers at SEE BS. At first, they all said Trump’s tariffs were bankrupting them. After Bari Weiss talked to them for a few hours, they decided it was actually trans people and pronouns doing it.
Reactionary extremists like Vought/Vance/Trump hate science, democracy, and accountability so much that they struggle greatly with facts and coherence.
That's why unethical grifters like Lawrence Krauss are so valuable to their enterprise.
Great
@nateo.bsky.social piece on what Krauss is doing:
Wars on Science, Real and Otherwise
"The War on Science," ed. Lawrence Krauss, documents an imaginary war on science from the left in order to justify an entirely real war on science from the right.
Bluesky might have people I don't know lecturing me about leftist issues i am already fully aware of, but at least they are not asking an evil AI chatbot to photoshop pictures of me crying in a bikini, so I think I made the right choice to leave X tbh
"It isn’t just that your ravenous hunger for recognition betrays a personality disorder, Mr. Trump, it’s that your particular style of seeking it really does provoke ridicule—that’s another word for 'they’re laughing at us.'"
Somebody Needs to Tell Trump Everybody Is Laughing at Him
His worst fear has already come true.
“Russia wants Ukraine to succeed.”
Donald J Trump, December 28, the year of our Lord 2025.
Actual real quote from the dumbest man
Canada understands the danger the world is under and has allocated $2.5 billion to help Ukraine overcome the fascist Russian invaders. Be like Canada. 🇨🇦
We will replace his name after he dies. He will fade like the pharaoh.

STOP & DESTROY Project 2025
MILLIONS of acres of our life support system = trees/forest land have been designated for complete deforestation so they can steal the natural resources for more money. Wildlife will die without habitats and all living things will suffer without vital oxygen
At the end of the day she said all of this shit because none of these people believe there will be any real accountability for their words or actions and if you look at what happened politically after January 6, 2021, that history validates this belief. Which is how we got here in the first place!!!
Someday he will be gone. But we will never forgive or forget the people who supported him.
Okay
@erinbiba.bsky.social it’s time for my second-most anticipated annual thread: Cats in Christmas Trees (and Battling Menorahs). Starting off strong with Donut.
Down with the bourgeoisie.

“He is not unstoppable and you are not without power”
Remind yourself of this every day.
Especially on the bad days.
Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."
