There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

Tim Snyder: Today no kings, tomorrow freedom. There is a better America out there. There is a better America underneath. There is a better America that we can see. There is a better America that we can make. History is in our hands.

M. Rubio: "Why did you have to say anything! It was just a photo-op!"
JD Vance: "Wait ... you don't think ... ? It was just a silly remark. Just to make conversation. Who thought a Pope would've had a pony! Who has ponies ?!"

I must admit I'm surprised, but David Brooks is very good at articulating the needs of this moment.

This is Yale Professor Timothy Snyder, who studies authoritarians and tyranny, with a warning.

He and another Yale professor, Jason Stanley, who studies similar topics at Yale, are moving to Canadian universities, a result of the political and academic climate here.

Citizens United wasn't just wrong, it was absolutely moronic.

EVERYONE but that dipshit Sam Alito saw that Citizens United would result in billionaires and shell corporations with foreign roots buying elections. EVERYONE.

Sam Alito is a fucking moron.

What a complete display of buffoonish crackpottery.

YouTube suggested this Eric Weinstein talk and I'm more depressed than ever. A wild mishmash that starts with anti-trans bigotry and emasculation fears (to frequent applause), concluding with...quantum gravity? I would laugh if people like this didn't rule the world.

A standing ovation for federal workers by the thousands of physicists who are meeting in Anaheim this week, supporting their colleagues in science agencies who couldn’t afford—or weren’t allowed—to come. Sorry, no pictures, in part out of green-card holders’ fears. #APSGlobalSummit2025 #APSMarch

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

An interesting theory on why Schumer supported the CR.
For sure. I know quite a few of his donors, professionally. It’s been a brutal week on Wall Street. If today they suffered another massive sell-off, the probability of a crash next week was exceedingly high. Still a real possibility. Yet, he chose them over us. Unreal.

Yes!! More Marc Eliases!
Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall.

I will never bow down.
