There are a lot of people who are going to complain about being unfairly vilified by that halftime show and it's because they know in their hearts they're on Team Hate.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
What a moment.

People of DC, more than two weeks into being totally iced in, now get news of measles spread—brought in by Right to Life marchers.

Looking for people exposed on the Metro, at DCA, at Children's Hospital, on Amtrak.

Gee, thanks, RFKJr et al.

This is truly incredible.

Shakespeare speaking to RIGHT NOW—on the “mountainish” inhumanity of punishing and casting out strangers from your country.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

You could add up all the corruption in US history from every Administration and not even sniff Trump’s year in office.

Every other President in history gets impeached unanimously for this. Every one.
WSJ: “.. The deal marked something unprecedented in American politics: a foreign government official taking a major ownership stake in an incoming U.S. president's company."

I think the Trump admin greatly underappreciated the degree to which collectively braving “holy shit” levels of cold is central to Northern community. My (totally speculative guess) is that for many protestors, It’s not a deterrent as much as an extra source of community pride and resilience.
I feel like an under-appreciated piece of all the protests that have been happening in different parts of the U.S. over the past few weeks (and months!) is that it's, like, super cold in many of these places.

If protests persist this year, genuinely curious if the crowds grow when weather warms.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

While Minneapolis mourned a man killed by federal agents, Trump’s elite gathered in black tie to celebrate a Melania vanity film.
This is what a ruling family looks like.

Let Them Eat Cake: While Minneapolis Mourned, Trump Hosted a Melania Gala
As protesters froze in the streets after the killing of Alex Pretti, Trump’s elite celebrated a $75 million vanity film—another glimpse of a family governing like royalty.

I'm begging the media to state this clearly -- we are all in danger now because of the deliberate choices made by Trump's administration and RFK Jr in particular.

When the next major outbreak of a preventable disease strikes, they'll point the finger at other people. But it'll be their disaster.
We had eradicated this disease.

And now because of targeted disinformation, children, immunocompromised people, elderly folks, and so many others become victims in this proxy war and we have a new avoidable pandemic.
Holy moly this chart: Cumulative US measles cases
