Yeah, this is where Trump works well.

And thankfully Mamdani hasn't been arrested. Let's hope the same for Zelensky at the next visit.
Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

MAMDANI: I've spoken about--

TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

It seems a lot of people need Pluribus (and perhaps all stories) to have a hero.

But in the tradition of Outer Limits, we're observing, and hopefully asking ourselves the questions the story raises. Pluribus will be a much different story if it has a victory in the end.

Jim Brown’s wife Donna has lived in the US legally for 47 years.

The only crime she has committed was writing two bad checks for $60 a decade ago.

Trump is trying to deport her, and has kept her imprisoned for four months.

Locking up this grandmother makes no one safer.

"It's arguably most productive to view public action against an oppressive force specifically as a game — not as a trifle, but as a series of moves with an end state."

Contributor @therisingtithes.bsky.social connects RPG prep with the increasingly vital labor of public protest.
What does Session Zero of a protest look like?
Games as rehearsal for the streets.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

But it's kind of wild.

On November 21, 2013, the Euromaidan protests began in Kyiv, ignited by ousted President Yanukovych’s abrupt refusal to sign the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement. What started in Independence Square grew into a nationwide uprising against corruption, authoritarianism, and Russian influence.

it just seems plainly clear to me that if you serve the country in any capacity, civil or military, and you are not a conservative white man, the Trump administration wants to make the workplace as hostile an environment as possible so you remove yourself

The President called for the murder of Congressional Democrats.

Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation.

Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them.

It's the very least they should be doing!

This is an accidentally honest answer. What she's saying in code is:
"The President is a misogynist, petulant bully. You've all seen him be a misogynist, petulant bully. And lots of voters out there are also misogynist or petulant or bullies and that's why they like him."
Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?

LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president
