FUN FACT:
If Kamala was POTUS right now,
NONE of our trade or diplomatic relations would be up in smoke.
NONE of our farms and agribusiness would be going belly up.
NONE of the soft power we used to get great trade opportunities would have dried up.
All of this was avoidable.

We are seven months in, and the speed with which vital civic institutions are capitulating to authoritarian demands we once would have regarded as inconceivable in an established liberal democracy is jawdropping. I hadn't thought I was polyannaish about America, but it's really stunning.

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

It seems fitting that the Supreme Court is covered in a mask while they continue to make these shameful decisions giving Trump endless power. Not unlike ICE agents. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/u...

Appreciate Biden showing up for this, being appropriate, though it's not at all surprising. I saw nothing about this on cable news today. Should have been. The news is failing us, they should cover more than just Trump atrocities. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

99 Days. And now a war. ICE still terrorizing innocent asylum seekers. Are we great yet?
Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 99 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
