have not seen – worth a watch?

A budget is a moral document.

C’mon, people. Look at your Kremlin style guide. The phrase is “special military operation.” Not all of you are getting this right.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

The president didn't bother to make the case for war in a marathon State of the Union address and then he fucked off to his sweaty gilded country club so he could literally phone in an unconstitutional war.

Every single Democrat needs to be screaming about this at full volume.

Actually, it’s hurting children.

Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.

Authoritarianism is rising because our democracy was failing before Trump.

When pro-democracy forces take back power, we can’t just restore the status quo. We need to change a political system that gives oligarchs a veto over working people.

We need a new democracy.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

To the highest bidder

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

Last night, I was notified that another person has died in ICE custody.

That’s 39 people who have died on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term.

We cannot grow numb to this. There must be immediate oversight and accountability.

Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

Shameful—but in a way useful. No one should any longer pretend we have a “Department of Justice.” We have a Department of Trump.

The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't.

They won't only be for brown and Black people.

The targets will keep expanding. It will not end.

The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

Papers don’t quote ANYONE like this. Normal human speech is LOUSY with ums, uhs, and doubling short words (a, I, the). You clean that up as a matter of course.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

"I never want to see a child ever run away from our own government ever again" Notes on changing brains. And Brians.

Part of my theory of change is to share the words white men need to hear, spoken by white men. This is because creating defections is crucial to stopping authoritarianism and democratic backsliding. This is because almost everyone else is already off the Trump train.

When this all ends, the enablers like Makouri, Prasad, and Batacharya need to be shunned from the medical community. Grifters and quacks who will do anything to be close to power.

Yeah I'm done softening my words to keep people from pearl-clutching. What I wrote above is true, and people need to hear it. RFK Jr., everyone in his circle, and many more are behind this. Vaccine hesitancy is due to the loud voices of anti-vaxxers, and now children, babies, are dying.

Trump's second term has been a disgusting cesspool of non-stop grift and corruption 👇

"In August 2025, I reported that the President and his family had made $3.4 billion by leveraging his position. After his first year back in office, the number has ballooned."

RFK Jr/MAHA world say they're not reducing access to vaccines for anyone who wants them, only giving people "choice" to opt out.
But by refusing to even review new vaccines, yes, they are absolutely blocking those who want a new immunization from ever having access to it.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.
