It’s very very frustrating to know that there isn’t much chance of any accountability for this behavior after Trump
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

It is EXHAUSTING not only being made responsible for coming up with new kinds of assignments for our students; it's also tedious reading op-eds that suggest the core problem is a crisis in teaching. But, as Chris and I lay out here, this isn't a crisis in teaching; it's an attack on learning.

No one says to legit business owners, "hey I see there's an underground market selling toxic knock-offs of your product: how will you incorporate the toxic product AND protect your customers against its harms?" But apparently it's fine to make this suggestion to educators with respect to AI.

"Afraid of appearing partisan, the Obama administration looked the other way when it came to prosecuting war criminals and torturers. The lack of confrontation is coming back to haunt us."

Every previous administration left unaccountable for its crimes is a lesson in why not to repeat the mistake.

Private cities are why they want Greenland.

These will be the places fascists run to when they lose power. If you haven’t heard of the company Praxis or the other venture capital firms owned by people like Thiel & Altman, look into them! They want corporate dystopias like Night City to be reality.

we are living thorough 10 years of moral collapse. it’s happening everywhere but is concentrated in the US. we have given up on even trying to argue that there must be more to life, both individually and collectively, than bare materialism and power. we must rededicate ourselves to meaningful life.

to win this fight, we cannot limit ourselves to arguments based on competency or efficiency. we should attack incompetence where we see it, ofc, but we must be militant in arguing - ad nauseam - that the roots of this dysfunction & collapse are moral and spiritual. to do good, we must be better

Even in the middle of this absolute horror film we’re living through, there are real Democratic wins breaking through. Had a great conversation with Mary Trump about why those wins matter and why we do not stop pushing forward.

Gavin Newsome talked a big game, and made a lot of promises, about health care. Many of those never came to pass, and for some Californians, our access to care has actually gotten worse.
Where Will Gov. Newsom’s Evolution on Health Care Leave Californians?
As he heads into his final year in Sacramento — and mulls a presidential campaign — some in the Golden State have gained access to more care, others not so much.

Stephen Miller is a horrible racist in the sense that he is actually not that good at being racist.

I’m nobody special and I’ve had right wing extremists try to ruin every aspect of my personal and professional life, including showing up in person and leaving written death threats at my work and home. This “problem” is an inherent part of right wing extremism; it’s a feature not a bug.

Don’t forget he watched the Paris Hilton tape with Melania. And talked about it…
which is really creepy when you learn that Paris and Ivanka became friends in middle school. Played together regularly. Who watches a sex tape of their daughter’s childhood friend? Trump, that’s who.

Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.
