Please stop saying we are heading towards authoritarianism. We are there.
"A terrified young student, snatched off the street by a masked police force taken thousands of miles across the country without anyone knowing. It is as flatly authoritarian as anything we have ever seen in this country," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk's detention.

Paul Weiss is going to be the Arthur Andersen of law firms.
They were bribed. They folded immediately. And they’re gonna be finished anyway.
They whored themselves out for nothing.

Want to know why Fattyshack is attacking Canada? This photo is all you need to know.
Not policy. Not economic interest. Not even an imperialist streak.
Jealousy. Pure and simple.

Saying it loudly for the people in the back (and also that miscreant, Lunatick- er Lutnick:
Social security is OUR MONEY. We paid it in, the government had the use of it for decades, and when we are old, we get to take it back.
More like a savings account than a Ponzi scheme

His approval ratings are in the crapper and not only doesn’t he care, but none of the GOP Senators cares either. It’s almost like they’re not worried about winning another free and fair election.
Now why would that be?

I want to support great writing. I’m willing to pay to subscribe. But if you’re charging as much or more than a magazine w/staff, rent, bureaus around the world, printing mailing and distribution costs, and all you have is you, likely at home, writing…doesn’t sit well with me.

Every time they say Russian Hoax, we quote this GOP-lead investigation report
The Trump campaign’s interactions w/Russian intelligence services (in the) 2016 election posed a grave counterintelligence threat…associates of Trump had regular contact w/Russians and expected to benefit from…their help.

This made me laugh… but none of it is funny. It’s a calculated plan to destroy our country as we know it so that he can turn it into a kleptocracy, oligarchy- whatever will enrich him most.
One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

Why isn’t everyone talking nonstop about the fact that Trump has halted all monitoring of Russian cyber attacks on the US??
I’m no cybersecurity expert, but a halt means they can install spyware that will still be there when the pause is lifted… right?
Call me crazy, but this seems like a BFD.

These are people who are suing for the right to let life- saving food supplies rot rather than give them to starving children.
That’s who these people are.
And millions of Americans voted for them knowing full well who they were.
It’s sickening.

All of this:
-the firing of military leaders and JAG officials
-The appointments of incompetent cabinet members
-the takeover of the Kennedy Center
-the removal of information from government websites
This is all only PREPARATION for what they’re planning.
I hope we survive what comes next.

I’m so sick of people normalizing this. Elon gave a Nazi salute. Vance met w/the head of the Neo Nazi party in Germany. And Bannon raised his arm in what was clearly a Heil Hitler movement. Let’s just call it like it is: the facists have taken control. Democracy is hanging by a thread.
I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing.
This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it.
No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

The Gulf of America business may seem petty, but it’s a test: how ridiculous an order will people follow?
Then, if people are willing to follow this embarrassing dictate, the Orange Menace will move on to bigger things.
It’s all about compliance.

I encourage every artist and production to boycott the Kennedy Center moving forward. I know it's hard. I know art doesn't pay most artists well. I would never shame an artist or production for choosing to perform there. But I ask you to consider the powerful message it would send if you didn't.

Trump being “elected” chair of the board of the Kennedy Center is the same as him “winning” all the tournaments at his own golf club: sycophants bending over to feed the vulgarian’s ego.
