A stadium full of fans from Seattle and Boston. If Trump was there, the boos would’ve registered as an earthquake here in California.

This passage 👇 makes me deeply sad and angry.

It reminds me of Jonathan Alter saying, during our Bulwark livestream on Election Night 2024, that he was prepared to hide immigrant families in his attic.

Some people told me later that that was the moment Trump's re-election first felt real to them.
"The [nursing home] director said many of her Jewish residents were distraught at the prospect of losing their Haitian caregivers—and asked if they could hide them, as some gentiles had done for Jews during the Holocaust."

It’s immigrants from ‘shithole’ countries who care for our elderly, and nobody’s lining up to take their place.

When a political party answers a charge of racism with a body‑shaming insult, they’re not rebutting the claim — they’re advertising their values. This is what it looks like when cruelty becomes the brand.

“I served President Barack Obama for eight years. Every day I witnessed his decency, his integrity, his character, his compassion. It just demonstrates how absent that is now.“ Former CIA Director John Brennan on the racist video Pres. Trump posted on his social media account featuring the Obamas.

Dear Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt:

You may not be aware of this, but it actually matters to the American public whether Donald Trump (1) has the intellect and temperament of a five-year old, (b) is a racist cretin, or (c) as seems most likely, both.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I’m on my apartment balcony to illustrate how Donald Trump’s corruption and contempt for the rule both threatens our democracy *and* affects our everyday lives.

Haven't seen this angle mentioned, but it's an extraordinary national security risk to have an anonymous "staffer" impersonating the president of the United States, posting racist memes, from his personal accounts, at 10 PM.

This pretty much sums it up.
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
