I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

As someone who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it), let me tell you something:
The lies Trump, Vance and Miller say are not meant to be believed by their followers.
They are meant to be REPEATED.
The repetition of the lie is the test of loyalty to the cult.

"Trade is not fundamentally about competition. It's not us versus Canada. It's us and Canada." It's really about cooperation. And if the United States won't cooperate reliably with Canada, we shouldn't be surprised when Canada looks for new friends to cooperate with. And Americans miss out.

Hey, @msnownews.bsky.social thank goodness I switched to C-SPAN. Instead of talking ABOUT it, why not let us hear or read the moving, substantive words spoken at Mamdani's inauguration? BREAKING NEWS MAMDANI SWORN IN AS NEW YORK CITY MAYOR is no longer breaking news -- what he and others said is.

You know all those slasher-horror movies where they go in the haunted house or down the basement? And you scream, "OMG, how TF could they be so dumb!?" Yeah, well – that's America right now, with RFK jr as the head of HHS, including the CDC, NIH, etc. No good endings. Insane AF.

I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.

So I read "a road map for Democrats"and hoped this was just another case of a headline writer putting his own -- or his bosses' -- spin on a story. But no, the patronizing tone recurs in the text, which accuses "The Left" of purity tests while finding whiffs of anti-Jewish bias that isn't there.
This is framed as "lessons for the left," but Lander and Mamdani actually offer lessons for the center: Instead of ruthlessly undermining leftist candidates, emphasize shared values and refuse to amplify right-wing attacks.

"the cult of centrism"..."as long as looking balanced matters more than baseline reality, the Times will continue its shoddy reporting" -- I enjoyed this, but the successful warping of supposedly sane US journalism by rightwing crazies (crazy like a Fox) is not at all enjoyable.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
