This politico comparison of SCOTUS justices’ stated position on Roe at their confirmation hearings and their current position exemplifies exactly why the court has no legitimacy. Perjury is a felony. All 6 @GOP-appointed justices lied to get confirmed. politico.com/news/2021/12/0…

Trump’s 2AM meltdowns and dictator cosplay aren’t part of a predetermined strategy — they’re collapse. A malignant narcissist, weak and unhealthy, colliding with the one thing he can’t escape: DEATH. And his team knows it, which is why they’re going full-fascist now. (THREAD 🧵)
As a psychologist, I can tell you: when malignant narcissists lose control, they don’t fade quietly. They escalate exponentially — rage, smear campaigns, humiliation, projection, even violence. Every move is about punishing those who expose their weakness to claw back control.
This isn’t “toughness.” It’s disintegration. In my field we call it narcissistic mortification: the sheer terror, shame, and dread of being forced to confront one’s own fragility. To them, it feels like annihilation — as the false self they’ve lived behind for decades shatters.

.@realDonaldTrump:

1. There is no such thing as networks paying “license fees” to the government for news coverage, you hopelessly deranged lunatic. Broadcast stations need an FCC license, but networks themselves do not “pay up” like that. Image
2. The First Amendment exists. Remember that pesky document you pledged an oath to uphold and defend before lighting on fire? Its still in effect. The government can’t just yank licenses from broadcast networks because it doesn’t like their coverage, no matter how crazy you are.
3. Your framing of “the most valuable airwaves” — as if public airwaves are yours to not just tyrannically regulate the content of but rent out for personal financial gain/profit — shows just how transactional and autocratic your mindset is about power & unfit you are for office

🚨🚨🚨 Donald Trump just had @PeteHegseth carry out a FULL-BLOWN PURGE of America’s top military and national defense officials. Here’s the full list of who this dangerously unqualified, traitorous ex-@FoxNews hack just axed and the perilous implications for our country (THREAD):
❌ The CJCS (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) → the top U.S. general & principal military advisor to the President

❌ The CNO (Chief of Naval Operations) → runs the entire Navy, responsible for global readiness to attacks from overseas
❌ The CGC (Commandant of the Coast Guard) → oversees all maritime defense, ports, and defensive homeland security initiatives

❌ The Air Force CoS (Chief of Staff) AND Vice Chief → the top two officers who run and coordinate all of America’s air and space operations

.@MELANIATRUMP just sent Putin one of the most nauseatingly fake “peace letters” you’ll ever see. Let’s rip it apart, because it deserves to be set on fire and the earth salted. (THREAD🧵) Image
She starts off waxing poetic in comically vague flowery language about children’s “dreams of love, possibility, and safety from danger.”
How adorable. Except she’s writing to the guy LITERALLY BOMBING CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS, SHELTERS, & HOSPITALS. Safe from danger? Try safe from HIM
Next, she gushes about the — again, almost deliberately meaningless and nonspecific —necessity of “nurturing the next generation’s hope.” Meanwhile, Putin’s idea of “hope” is kidnapping Ukrainian kids, brainwashing them, and shipping them off to Russia. Yeah, real nurturing vibes

We can never allow Trump to outrun the shame of his #TreasonSummit. Let’s recap how this started and then review what happened yesterday, which was Trump kissing Putin’s ass in a display so weak and groveling it made his performance in Helsinki look “tough on Russia.”
(THREAD 🧵)
Two weeks ago, Trump was raging about Russia “slaughtering civilians” in Ukraine and expressing—for perhaps the first time—disgust with Putin and Russia. He vowed “very harsh sanctions.” He even threatened to send nuclear subs near Russia and pretended to be a tough NATO ally.
Fast forward to the Trump–Putin “summit” in Anchorage: as Putin continued relentlessly bombing Ukraine, civilians kept being killed, and Trump suddenly decided sanctions were “a disgrace” TO Russia, not FROM Russia.

“They’re just trying to distract from all the incredible things I’m doing!” —@realDonaldTrump

You keep hearing Trump say this.

But ask yourself…

What exactly are the accomplishments he’s talking about?

Spoiler: there aren’t any. Let’s break it down (THREAD🧵)
1. Trump says he’s “restoring law and order.”

In reality, he’s:
• Purging the DOJ of anyone who won’t protect him
• Threatening to imprison political enemies
• Encouraging state violence against protesters

That’s not “law and order.” It’s authoritarianism.
2. Trump says he’s “fixing the border.”

But border crossings hit record highs even under his first term.
He used cruelty as a deterrent (family separations, cages) and still failed. Now he just scapegoats immigrants & calls it “policy” & he’s deporting citizens w/o due process.
