Cancer researchers, air traffic controllers, food safety inspectors and other experts are committed public servants who serve the people, not the president.
Trump and DOGE sacked them by the thousands and now we're seeing the consequences.

I.C.E. is the Gestapo.
We all need to join together to oppose and obstruct them.
We are a nation of laws and they are violating them thousands of times a day.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode deficits
3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.

I’ve been warning against an Imperial Judiciary for years now! As @stevevladeck.bsky.social wrote today, “the more the Supreme Court . . . does whatever it wants, whenever it wants,” the more it’s betting its future legitimacy (and our republic) on public support for an Omnipotent but Fallible Nine

We now have a concentration camp in Florida.
Stop pretending any of this is normal.
If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm.
We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

Every accusation is a confession. That’s an ironclad rule with the GOP. Take it to the bank.
They know that Trump is addled and that others like Stephen Miller are actually calling the shots. So they accuse Biden of the same—even though he didn’t even run against Trump.
It’s textbook projection.

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight.
Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like.

On this date in 1864, Gen. John Sedgwick, one of the finest Union corps commanders, was shot down by a Confederate sharpshooter. His penultimate utterance -- and for once, I am not making it up -- was: "They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance."
His final rasp: "Welp. This is awkward as fuck."
