With his tolerance of Putin’s aggression, Trump mirrors the American Firsters of 1941 who said we could live comfortably with a Nazi dominated Europe. They lacked the the power to implement their catastrophic mistake. Trump does not.

A great article about Kamala Harris for those of you feeling the sting of today. America lost today. www.yahoo.com/news/kamala-...
I Was Kamala Harris’ Videographer. I Wish I Could Show You What I’ve Seen.
She completely changed me.

I discussed the prospect of Biden issuing pre-emptive pardons in a first-ever debate with @glennkirschner.bsky.social. Give it a watch:

If we all find 100 posts to like every day, engagement and good will on @bsky.app grows exponentially.

Is it worth a few minutes to make the platform stronger ?

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight.

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

OK sports fans, so this is my last bulletin for my position at @losangelestimes.bsky.social. I resigned yesterday in protest of the paper's and owner's cozying up to Trump. Here's my explanation on my substack, where I hope you will follow me going forward.

Imagine needing YOUR MOM go on TV and say you're a good boy (after she blasted you via email), and then promising NOT to drink on the job, being forced out of a veterans group for misconduct and STILL being considered for a job you're not qualified for.

THAT is serious White privilege.

You'll never catch me referring to trump as "president-elect" or even "President" trump.

It will always be Convicted Felon trump.
Nothing more.

Beware of the people who spent the last several years mocking Hunter Biden’s addiction issues who are now virtue signaling about Pete Hegseth’s alcohol issues.

If you’d told me on Jan 6th 2021 that the man responsible for that horrific attack would end up returning to the office he tried to steal that day, and that he’d do so after calling the attackers “heroes” & “hostages” he was going to pardon, I’d have thought you were out of your damn mind.

And yet…

So Trump branded Ron DeSantis "Tiny D"... and now expects *that* guy to command enough respect to lead the Pentagon?

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:

Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

When it comes to Donald, one thing worth noting is that he always wants to be seen as the “greatest,”and as having achieved more and gone further than anyone else. When you know who he admires, and the evil acts they committed, you have an idea of how far he’ll have to take things to top them.

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.
