“If Roosevelt had told Churchill to sue for peace on any terms with Adolf Hitler and to fork over Britain’s coal reserves to the United States in exchange for no American security guarantees, it might have approximated what Trump did to Zelensky.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...
Opinion | A Day of American Infamy (Gift Article)
A dreadful moment for Ukraine, for the free world, for the legacy of an America that once stood for the principles of the Atlantic Charter.

Repubs are running away from their own town halls like Josh Hawley fleeing an insurrection.
Meanwhile, Senator Bernie Sanders is barnstorming through Red states, drawing sell-out crowds for his "Fight Oligarchy" tour.
This is how you represent Americans.

When I was pregnant with my first, I regularly squeezed into my little dodge neon (!!!) and drive - no matter the weather - all the way from Southie to Morton St so I could waddle up to the counter and feed my craving for good barbecue. RIP Pit Stop 😔

An unelected, erratic, ketamine-addled billionaire with far right/white nationalist views has taken control of the personnel and payment systems of the United States government. Not an exaggeration, not hyperbole.

This to me was the money shot and was prolly directed at Biden as much s it was Manchin and Sinema
“To fetishize bipartisanship amidst an outrageous attack campaign is not a virtue—it is a preening abandonment of morality.”
“To fetishize bipartisanship amidst an outrageous attack campaign is not a virtue—it is a preening abandonment of morality.”
In a letter to Biden, Adeel Mangi calls out the 3 Dem senators who caved to the GOP's Islamophobia: "They lack the wisdom to discern the truth, which exposes a catastrophic lack of judgment; or they used my nomination to court conservative voters, which exposes a catastrophic lack of principle."

The fact that the democrats are still huddling and pointing fingers instead of getting loud and critical and giving the party hope and focus, is unforgivable.
There's a reason: No leader has stepped up and said "this is how we fight back." We see ABC News bend the knee. We see Joe and Mika bend the knee. We see Bezos and Zuckerberg bend the knee. Ro Khanna is singing Musk's praises. Chris Murphy is blaming trans people

Whoever runs the DNC (hoping for @benwikler.bsky.social) really needs to sit at the foot of Bernie Sanders and absorb his wisdom.
Bernie Sanders: "We are moving rapidly into an oligarchic form of society. Never before in American history have so few people had so much wealth and so much power."
"In Russia, Putin has an oligarchy. We have an oligarchy here, too.

My favorite part of Star Wars was the scene where the Resistance leaders decide against trying to destroy the Death Star and instead kick in $1 million each for Palpatine's inauguration.

Every time Rev Al says the phrase “latte liberal” Joe Scarborough gets a boner.
Except... Rev. Al Sharpton and Eugene Robinson. Both nod approvingly and regurgitate Scarborough's talking points.

You know what *didn't* happen in S. Korea? People didn't throw up their hands and go, "Well, I guess he's allowed to do that." They did not act like they were at the whims of a despot. And so they were not.

One of the reasons young white men have turned to fascism is anger over their favorite comic book movies and video games being marketed to other people.
The liberal push to enable them is not only misguided but will hurt people and ultimately fail.

The truth is that Americans are deeply confused by what’s going on, and that’s intentional. It’s left us in a neoliberal environment where what matters are the products we consume, which cuts us off from actual democracy, actual solutions, and actual reality.

My wife does this thing with stuff like non-dairy coffee creamers where she is a huge fan of one creamer for a month and then switches brands and loves this new brand+ sometimes she sends me for stuff that I don’t know what it is. My phone is basically half photos of my kids & the other half:

I was having a series of little anxiety issues & I used my weed pen to take the edge off. So my son asks me for a ride to work, and I told him I really couldn’t but to ask his sister. The next thing I hear is him yelling up the stairs:
