Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani to Trump:
The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.
It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

My $.02: trump is “subservient” to Putin only because Trump cares only for power and money, and Putin has a great deal of both. I don’t think it’s more complicated than that.
I’ve said it before, but People magazine should get a Pulitzer for its coverage of this administration.

Not the main point of this piece, but: detaining a mom and 5 kids must cost U.S. taxpayers at least $400/day. (It was $319/family 5 years ago.)
At that rate, locking up this family for 9 months would run at least $108,000.
The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.
The Trump administration has reorganized national security around two principles: more aggression, less accountability.
Wearing a Stars and Stripes tie doesn’t make Andrew Ogles a patriot. Also, every naturalized citizen knows more American history than the Congressman.
“Per the analysis by Open the Books, in September, the Pentagon spent $2 million on Alaskan king crab, $6.9 million on lobster tail, $15.1 million on ribeye steak, and $1 million on salmon.”
Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.
Sherrod is right there, Ohio.
Fix this, friends.

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.
And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.
• No government security experience
• No law enforcement background
• No intelligence work
• No military service
• Not even a bachelor’s degree
Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.
Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.
Legacy media is failing democracy. Six years ago, I decided to do something about it. I started Democracy Docket from scratch.
Today it has 400,000+ subscribers. But to protect democracy, it needs to grow. Subscribe now: bit.ly/4qmEiFz
The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

We desperately need to grow independent media as fast as we can. You can start by signing up for Democracy Docket. I started it 6 years ago to be unapologetic pro-democracy. No corporate backers. It will never bow down or obey.

🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/
