Everyone should say it:
The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism.
Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy.
But that's not what's interesting about Miller.
It's not brains. It's bile.

Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer.
They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you.
Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

Trump's family has deals to build luxury resorts and hotels in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman.
And their crypto firm will be used by the UAE to make a $2B deal — netting the Trumps hundreds of millions of dollars.
His "diplomatic trips" are blatant self-enrichment opportunities.

And you thought the left was censorious. How about actual censoring?
I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky
Just received an email saying that it's not advisable to include the following words in future applications for research funding to the US DOT. Here we are.

There is only one way to end the war: put pressure on the Russians. The Trump people did the opposite: put pressure on Ukraine, and relieved pressure on Russia. They have made the war worse while talking of "peace."

A statement by Seth Rogan about the evisceration of science in the US, made at an awards ceremony attended by Schmuckerberg, Bezos, and Brin, was edited out of the final version that aired. The "Breakthrough Prize" *for science* was originally established by Schmuckerberg and Brin.

Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime.
But America was founded on criticism.
American democracy was built on dissent.
Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.
