I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

It’s crucial to remember-Susan Monarez was appointed CDC Director by Trump
She’s not a Democrat they can claim has some agenda
She’s MAGA
And she’s saying that RFK, Jr is ignoring science about vaccines
Which will cause more epidemics like the measles outbreak in Texas
So more children will die

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

How convenient...but it's all legal for them.
Sure was a lucky break for those billionaires to be at the White House today when the tariffs were reversed. Good day in the market for them.

Something to think about.
I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday.
Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.

Yep, it's rough watching everyone from late night hosts to lightweight tech YouTubers explain the still dangerous effects & likely intents of this erratic policy both more honestly & accessibly than news outlets. Since Colbert explains how 125% tariffs on China are a systematic risk, CNN should too.
Absolutely excruciating to see the BBC, CNN and everyone else dressing up Trump's industrial-scale stock market fraud as "relief", "making nice" or a "climb down". Wittingly or unwittingly, our media are once again accomplices.

Millions of you, around the world, have put the lessons I wrote in #OnTyranny in late 2016 to good use. It has been humbling to learn how from courageous and creative dissenters, protestors, and oppositionists. I was honored when John Lithgow volunteered to read them aloud.
Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

Fear and compliance.
That’s the point.
“Mistaken” abductions serve their purposes.

There's going to be a tendency to cover disappearances like this as "what a huge mistake/so incompetent," but this is not a mistake: The entire point is to indiscriminately catch up law abiding people in these dragnets to sow fear and compliance.

Yes. Journalists should note this:
Every science or tech student, age 5-35 today, is looking at the destruction of their career prospects due to Trump and Musk.
We should be interviewing those students and talking about the impact to their lives.
