Snowfall begins with a single, delicate flake, but as it gathers, it blankets the world in a unified force — much like moving to a new social platform. What starts as a few brave voices can grow into an unstoppable community, transforming the landscape entirely.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.

The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re being shafted.

Know the truth.

She looks very much like our big girl.

Trump negotiating in reverse, as if weak and incompetent. He holds all the cards and is determined to give them away to Putin.

MAGA rhetoric is not based in politics, reason or American values. It is hate verbalized, aiming to distract us from truth and drag us into chaos. @therickwilson.bsky.social answers your questions about MAGA, the future, and much more on the latest episode of the LP Podcast: youtu.be/ot-qr0En66Y?...

The last two sections of Syria yet to fall are Latakia and Tartus, homes of Russia's most important military bases outside Russia, key for their global terror operations.

Donald Trump has not yet taken office. It is going to get worse, much worse. We need to stand up an opposition not for a month or two but for four years or more. To do that, we cannot allow ourselves or our leaders to be too tired. We must insist they have courage or get out of the way.

Timothy Snyder’s powerful final line of his book: “If none of us is prepared to die for freedom, then all of us will die under tyranny.” We hope it doesn’t come to that. But history tells us that alone we will be crushed. Together, we can win. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/history-is...

This is...um...not a parody.

The degree to which the Trump, his MAGA cult, the Tuckerites, and much of GOP sold out to Putin came down in part to the idea authoritarians can never lose.

Assad is either now freezing in Moscow exile or dead in a smoking crater of aircraft debris.

Sic semper, folks.
