The people who respond to the No Kings protests by arguing that the United States doesn’t have a king, are the same people who respond to the Black Lives Matter with “ all lives matter.”

My latest — a reflection on the madness, cynicism, selfishness, and absurdity

A decade of information manipulation has left us a nation of cripples on our own psychological defense

It’s nearing the end of the republic but we’re cheering for the pickled egg

After watching the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting in whole, I’m feeling prepared to comment on it in a proper way.

Long thread incoming:

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.

This is leadership.

It’s also unprecedented.

A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

Elon is also screwing US farmers.

🚨 BREAKING: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker says he’s going to rename Lake Michigan to “Lake Illinois.”

EPIC TRUMP TROLL!!! 🤣

A good article by Timothy Snyder! It will help me frame my thoughts when talking with like-minded friends and better explain concerns when communicating with legislators or those with whom I strongly disagree.

For those who don't subscribe to the Philadelphia Inquirer (a great newspaper, by the way), I'm gifting this article by Will Bunch.

I was dead-set against Hegseth's nomination. But here we are. My advice for the new SecDef:

What to expect from Trump's Day 1 immigration agenda:
1) cancel the CHNV parole processes which have channeled 30,000 people/month into legal channels
2) ban scheduling appointments for lawful entry from Mexico using the CBPOne app

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012.

Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place.

A thread.

If Hegseth was a Democrat the Republicans would never confirm him. In fact some Democrats probably wouldn’t confirm him either. But we all know how this is going to turn out don’t we?
REPOST PLEASE

A Shadow Cabinet. A People's Cabinet. An Alternative Cabinet. Naming, and establishing, a positive form of political opposition in the United States:

We are facing a moment when much will change for the worse, not just in policy, but in the structure of politics itself. We need to be imagining a better America.
A Shadow Cabinet would be a positive form of opposition.

Trump is not stupid. He talks about taking over Canada and Greenland but that won’t/can’t happen. Meanwhile he’s destroying the economy, increasing the deficit, undermining the election process, taking away our rights, and more. Keep your eyes on what’s really going on not on his performance art.
