A coalition that ranges from democratic socialists to neoconservatives, including a lot of energized liberals in between, is large and formidable.

A big pro-democracy tent. A united front. Any internal disagreements can be hashed out once the authoritarian emergency is over.

This really can work.

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

That is called murder. Involuntary lethal injection is called murder.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

There was a new federal arrest today of people protesting the Trump administration's immigration enforcement actions. This time it happened in Spokane, Washington, and included the arrest of the former City Council president.

We don’t live in a neutral marketplace of ideas. We live in an attention economy shaped by algorithms, tribal identity, outrage incentives, and profit models that reward engagement over accuracy.

US press and public usually judges war not on legality or strategy, but on:

1) Does it look cool on TV?
2) Is POTUS a Democrat?
3) Are we winning? If not, do I have to see the downsides on my screen?

Remember, the only big public complaint about the 20-year war in Afghanistan was Biden ending it.

Budgets are a statement of values. On chopping block: healthcare, school lunches, science grants, the arts, foreign aid. These people are moral monsters.

None of the official ABC tweets or clips from the Trump interview tonight feature the most important clip of all: a demented Trump repeatedly and falsely claiming, and seeming bizarrely to believe, that Albrego Garcia literally had the letters and numbers MS13 on his knuckles.

The speed with which Congress not having the power of the purse, law and the Constitution be damned, has been normalized by the press is the most terrifying thing to me.

Pritzker: If you're not out there protesting in front of a Republican congressman's office, or out in the street making your voice heard, or calling your friends in another state to have them do it.. then you're not doing what's necessary to put pressure on them to vote the right way.

Stumbled out of a lesbian bar and walked past Ethiopian, Korean, Mexican, and Pizza restaurants on my way to eat at a Ramen place. This is why America is so great. Immigrants built this country and these fascists are trying to destroy what makes it great. Damn them all, fight like hell.

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?
