You know, when we’re all hyperventilating about Greenland, we’re not talking about ICE killing people, the economic uncertainty, Trumps connection with Epstein, and other subversions of democracy.

So…if China decides that the U.S. is engaging in espionage and sabotage and convicts the sitting president in their internal courts, then it’s OK for them to do a lightening special forces strike on Washington to kidnap the President and make him stand trial in Chinese courts? #venezuela #trump

Wait…so, because the #Trump administration sent soldiers into a foreign country to kidnap their president, they felt like they were in danger and therefore it was OK to blow up the place? What kind of circular logic is that? This #Venezuela strike is INSANE.

I don’t think anyone will be ever be able disabuse me of the notion that going to war in Iraq was the biggest mistake of the 21st century. That decision, made on false pretenses, put the USA on the road to Trump, MAGA, and economic decline.

Remember when George Bush “looked into Putins eyes” and judge his character positively? I do.
Yeah it’s nice to see someone from The Bush Institute speaking up for Ukraine.. might’ve been even better if it was almost 4 years ago.. but I guess we take this

Donald Trump is known for firing people. But not this year. - The Washington Post
This is a false headline. Trump rarely fired people in his first term…they quit because they hated working for him. That happened over and over again. He only fired people on the Apprentice TV show. #sad

My biggest regret as an educator is not pushing for more full books to be read in my classes.
You'll see this article posted a lot today. That's only because everyone should read it. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/u...
Kids Rarely Read Whole Books Anymore. Even in English Class.

That’s it. I’ve got to switch internet providers…this paradigm of increasing charges $2-$5 every 4 months has got to stop. They give you a small benefit to autopay and to paperless, and then increase the costs hoping you don’t notice or act. It’s disrespectful.

So, riddle me this: is his contribution to society greater than than that of all the elementary teachers in America? #musk #ridiculous #unfair
Elon Musk is set to make more than every U.S. elementary school teacher combined.

Trump’s escalating Venezuela rhetoric, military moves alarm region’s leaders - The Washington Post
Classic. A failing leader instigates a “quick and easy” military conflict against a foreign country to distract from domestic issues. That’s never gone poorly...wait… *checks any history book* oops

Still wondering why #epstein is situation room worthy? Seems pretty SUS to me. That in and of itself is damning.

I would just add, “we tell the truth and do hard things.” “We don’t think you are stupid, it rather a reasonable Partner in governing America.”
It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars:
1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

If I were to sum up my advice to the Democratic party leadership about how to defeat Trumpism, it would be to set aside policy for now and focus instead on articulating a vision of what American society should look like and what role the US should play in a rapidly changing world today.

Yes yes yes. 1000% yes. Give people in districts across the country a reason to vote democratic, and they will.

Thank you for your wisdom, @jamellebouie.net civil society, as weak as it feels, is the #1 way to make change in society. This was true in autocracies and democracies, and we need to leverage our power.

Just listened to the @nytimes.com daily episode about rare earth metals…I’m scared about this but China’s window to attack Taiwan is short…I am scared that 2027 could see real fireworks.
