Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil.

It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift must be doing something right to attract the ire of the reprehensible individual squatting in the White House.

I really value the Board of Education. To shut them down is a terrible thing to do. If you have a kid with disabilities, you know what i mean. Children will not get the services they truly need.

Trump ordered the National Institutes of Health to cancel their review panels on cancer research.

If you or someone you know has cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or one of many countless illnesses that needs a cure — this could have devastating effects.

His contemptuous, loyalty-testing Cabinet nominations are you need to know about how Trump plans to "govern"--performative politics, revenge instead of policies, division instead of uniting--4 years (if not many more) of spectacle, symbolic actions & rhetoric instead of solving America's problems.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

If you watch only one short video today, make it this one. Remarkable bravery, and the looks on the various faces could be material for a dissertation on gender, the family, and authoritarianism. youtu.be/gVInX42IQD8?...

“I had a feeling that there were people watching what was happening and wondering, Was anyone going to say anything?” Bishop Mariann Budde explained. “Was anyone going to say anything about the turn the country’s taking?”

So, she took a breath, and spoke. nyti.ms/3WtmNY2

Trump can’t end birthright citizenship constitutionally but that’s not the point. He’s giving people permission to police who seems to be American or not and by “American” they mean white. Vance’s family will get targeted because they’re not white. They’re already getting some of it.

Just terrifying that this totally inexperienced and capricious opportunist, in thrall to a mash up of extremist ideologies, the most coherent of which is savage misogyny, is about to be one skipped beat of an obese elderly man’s heart away from the presidency.
From Hillbilly Elegy to the White House.

It’s wild when you think about it.

And while many Democrats were skeptical of his book (some weren’t), I don’t think anyone would have predicted this back in 2016.

Just had to post this because it seems so appropriate for anyone in DC right now.

An executive order cannot supersede a statute. Congress has found ByteDance a danger to national security and SCOTUS has upheld it. Trump’s job as of noon tomorrow is to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” That means enforcing the ban until ByteDance sells TikTok.

After they win elections and move into the White House, plenty of presidents at some point eventually break a campaign promise. Trump will not even wait that long. He will break an important campaign promise the moment he takes the oath of office. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/19/u...
Trump Vowed to End the Ukraine War Before Taking Office. The War Rages On.
Donald J. Trump’s promise to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours, “before I even become president,” proved to be hyperbole.
