What Fox revealed this week is not that I was wrong. They revealed that millions of Americans would rather attack a messenger than grapple with a message and that intellectual laziness has become a badge of honor for a significant portion of this country. open.substack.com/pub/historyc...

Point out racism in history and you become “the real racist.” Cite academic research and you’re pushing “liberal propaganda.” open.substack.com/pub/historyc...

But because conservatives cannot dispute these facts, they invented a straw man. They claimed I said the modern song is racist and that I want to cancel Christmas carols, manufacturing an argument I never made so they would have something to attack. open.substack.com/pub/historyc...

Honestly, it’s more sad than anything else. These are people so brainwashed, so closed-minded, so intellectually lazy that they cannot even conceive of looking into a claim before attacking it. open.substack.com/pub/historyc...

Politico: A judge ordered the immediate release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from the Trump administration's custody, concluding he's been illegally held by ICE for months. Fantastic mood booster! 💙 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

He cares for us. He really does.🙄

Trump’s latest executive order screams established Department of Justice "AI Litigation Task Force" specifically designed to sue jurisdictions that attempt to enforce their own artificial intelligence safety laws. The tech bros pumping millions into Trump's campaign is paying off ten fold.

It's Trump’s Gold Card plan: Foreign citizens-just slip him a cool million & poof u get a visa allowing u to take the American jobs he swore he’d protect. No "Charlie finds a Wonka Bar Golden Ticket", more "pay‑to‑stay" in a country run by a bigly demented male version of Veruka Salt. U want it NOW💰

Cosplay cowboys.

Bennie Thompson on Noem: "Her arrival was short lived. She left in the middle of the hearing ostensibly to go to another meeting. We found that the meeting had been canceled, so she could've stayed. But nonetheless, we're not surprised, because this is who she is."

Q: If DOJ doesn't release the files it has by next Friday, is there anything Congress can do to compel that to happen? MASSIE: It's a crime if they don't. This is a new law with criminal implications if they don't follow it.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Here's Greg Bovino lying and saying the US citizen arrested by unidentified ICE agents in MN should have been carrying "immigrantion documents per the INA", which is FALSE. The INA (Immigration and Nationality Act) does NOT require U.S. citizens to carry proof of citizenship.

Q: There were new Epstein photos released today showing you and Bill Clinton and Steve Bannon. What's your reaction? TRUMP: I haven't seen it but everybody knew this man. He has photos with everybody. That's no big deal. I know nothing about it.

I literally LOL'd at this. 1. The Mike Johnson/Sgt. Schultz "I know nothing" schtick 2. His old default, "We take photos with millions of people. Everybody. (Even the ones who we assaulted.)"

Always! bsky.app/profile/midd...

Full on fascism. America is no longer America. It is now Amerkkka. U.S. looks to scour foreign tourists' social media www.npr.org/2025/12/11/n...

Why does ICE wear vests that say, "POLICE?" They are not a law enforcement agency. They are upholding no law. They are a gov't funded private militia charged with instituting the GOP/Heritage Society's vision of a white nationalist state. They need to be stopped.

Indiana rejected tRump when they voted against gerrymandering. #Pinks #ProudBlue #Indiana

SHE'S got a wonderful boy. Not WE. SHE. Has he forgotten he was the sperm donor for that one? Combine that with "I don't know what she's doing but it'll be great". This is like a 3D version of Veep with real world consequences and suffering.

Tone and intent aside: that a far-right American president tells us Europeans that we are weak and decaying is a bit jarring, sure, but somehow I find the far-right Europeans cheering for that while the rest of Europeans shrug it away with a "it's just Trump" equally if not more depressing.

www.reddit.com/r/complaints... You first Deranged Don. tRump deserves the same punishment the Rosenbergs got.

The tip of the iceberg: Trump is just a pawn, a distraction; there are much bigger crimes that are part of the plan. Sound conspiratorial? Isn't that how we live? www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the... www.youtube.com/watch?v=hybL...

Stagflation, Recession, Depression? Part of the plan? If so, it is straight from the ancient Authoritarian Playbook. ACT ORGANIZE RESIST Practice Nonviolence

Megan is trying to get in Trump’s good graces by sounding like a rabid dog. If that is what it takes to get ahead in life, I’ll stay behind with the rational empathetic folks.

MAGA isn't distinguished by differences of opinion, it is marked by its cruelty.

RELEASE THE DAMN EPSTEIN FILES UNREDACTED! NOW!

Started / Going

The ICC needs to issue an indictment and warrant for Donald Trump

Gallego: "This administration, since they started striking these boats illegally, has been very happy to show their snuff films . Now suddenly they're willing to show the first hit but not the second. Why? ... they're afraid the public is going to see the military killed 2 men that had surrendered."

Remember how they said the upcoming war in Venezuela was about drugs, and then they seized an oil tanker?

This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks! 50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it. I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”

I guarantee you an exception will be made for FIFA World Cup fans, players, coaches, and team officials. Bookmark it.

What NYT said about the NDAA versus what WaPo did, just in case you wanted to measure the extent to which NYT makes Trump the hero in every story.

To be clear, billions of our tax dollars are going to bailout the same farmers who overwhelmingly voted to harm themselves and their own livelihoods.

Gavin Newsom: “Trump is one of the most destructive presidents & human beings in my lifetime — I think this republic is at real risk of this country being unrecognizable — I have no patience for people who want to indulge it. This guy is reckless. He has wrecked this country” #Trump: A+++++

Almost daily someone wants to tell me that I should mind my own business and stay out of US "politics". So almost daily I have to remind them that Trumpism affects global economics, environment and peace. I'll do what every concerned global citizen should do. I'll express my opinion. Loudly.

Ossoff: "She got her new insurance quote & it's $700 more per month than what she's paying now. She's diabetic. She had surgery a few months ago for something else. She told me she cried again bc she realized she's gonna have to cancel her insurance. She believes she might die bc of a policy choice"

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

The so-called “war” with Venezuela was supposedly about stopping drugs… yet they’re out there seizing an oil tanker.

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

Elections have consequences. A man like this never belonged near the levers of power. Not the first time. And certainly not this second time when everything was knowable. We are trapped in a tragedy and must fight our way out.

“We are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”
