1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

In America, we defend free speech in terrible times.

We defend free speech even when it’s offensive.

Trump is telling us his plan for 2026. Those of us who care about free and fair elections must take him seriously and literally. We cannot simply bring guns to a gun fight. We need to bring missiles.

Friends, I study the Nazis and have written extensively on how ordinary people do horrible things and, yet, what's happening the United States is still surreal me.

I know intellectually that it's absolutely a descent into fascism and authoritarianism and I still find it hard to believe.

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use
2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use
3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Here's the thing re: our system of gov't.

The president isn't above other branches.
He doesn't "own" the gov't or the nation.

Our constitutional system of checks & balances is to insure 1 person can't drag the nation to ruin

We the People get to weigh in thru Congress.

Except now. When we don't.

‼️ This is absolutely absurd. Trump is actively manufacturing a crisis. The Pentagon just announced that he’s federalizing another 2,000 California National Guard troops bringing the total to 4,000, plus 700 active-duty Marines heading into LA. This is a military occupation, not public safety.

Do they even know what Medicaid does or who it helps?
Rep. Dan Crenshaw on Medicaid: "The person we're taking it away from is the able-bodied adult with no children who refuses to work."

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution

He’s fine with a recession

Americans can do with less

Democrats should be leveraging the 250th, especially next year's Independence Day anniversary, for the midterm elections. The language of resistance, rights, and freedom is tailor-made for the present moment. Embrace it!

Ever since looking up the medical examiner's record for my great-grandfather, I've been reading through the volume of 1920s coroner's records. Should be mandatory reading for the "doing my own research" crowd. This kid was 16 years old and died of tetanus after scraping his little finger on a rock.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

There are many wild things in Trump's EO about History but one that especially caught my eye was the complaint that the American Art Museum promoted the view that "race is not a biological reality." It's not! That's a true statement! The idea that race is biological was the foundation of racism!
