Protest peacefully. No, you won’t win the propaganda war that way. They’ll run videos of the Rodney King beating or something and say it’s antifa. Protest peacefully because it’s better for your community and your peace of mind, and we’re all going to need both of those things a whole lot now.

You know it’s bad when the introverts show up, #nokings Nebraska

Agreed. #nokings omaha

Let’s give our kids a hopeful future! Omaha says #nokings

Old Glory says #NoKings in Omaha

Omaha Nebraska says #NoKings!

THIS. Dems need to Drill Baby Drill this message home. Trump’s policies matter more than his words. Rural Republicans fear China open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Overlooked, crucial point. This isn’t a bailout. It’s hush money. Trump is permanently undermining the US ag economy. Even if the tariffs are lifted, some of these overseas customers aren’t coming back. Kickbacks to farmers won’t help them in the long run. open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

EVERY news story about @jimmy Kimmel should include this relevant point from @heathercoxrichardson.substack.com.web.brid.gy

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

The Wall Street Journal is now walking back its earlier reporting that "transgender ideology" messages were found on the shooter's ammunition. But it's too late. That story is all around the country and the world. Most who have read it will not see the update. Thanks, WSJ.

In a close vote of 51-49, Senate Republicans defeated an effort today by Democrats to insert language into Congress’ annual defense authorization bill that would have forced the public release of case files on the sex trafficking investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. WHAT ARE THEY HIDING??? 😡

Russia, Russia, Russia.

The rose garden at the WH is now called the ”Pedio” i will not be taking any questions at this time. I made up the term. Good day. #releasethefiles #epstein

Thank you for pointing this out.

Actually Xi or Putin are my picks for the most dangerous person in this administration.

I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.

Hope is what we do when the odds are long and the options limited. It is the stubborn act of trying when despair feels easier. Rather than a passive optimism, hope is the commitment of those who believe they can make a difference, however small. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

Headline fix: Trump bends knee to Putin, vows to end mail-in voting

Donald Trump voted by mail in both New York and Florida, something both the headline and the article omit.

Headline fix: At Putin’s behest, Trump moves to end mail-in voting

🤦‍♂️🤷

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

This is uncharacteristically great messaging coming from a Democrat.

Only thing missing in this analysis: Trump’s policies accelerate China’s ascendancy over the US. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

NYT violates first rule of reporting: Never assume anything. This assumes Trump pivots to fossil fuels is 4 national security. His motive may be to sabotage US shift to renewables & hand the future to China. (Also, story has a 1980s understanding of climate change) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Yep. Don’t listen to the bots preaching NYC as a path forward.

Yep. His dad lived in an era where there was such a thing as shame.

Leave your ego home. Any protester who: spits on an officer, throws a bottle of water, cusses out a cop, sets stuff on fire, etc, is making the story about himself. The tragedy of immigrant families becomes secondary news.

This is it. Right here. We believe the American Dream is for all of us. 💙🇺🇸❤️

Again, @paul krugman, When are you going to lift the curtain and explore the obvious? This is an intentional gift to our foreign adversaries. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

This is the goal. Export the workers and the economy stalls.

America Turns Its Back on the World open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug... Hello? They are intentionally destroying America. When will folks like Paul Krugman start saying the quiet part out loud? Our enemies include some of the brightest minds on the planet. None of this is bumbling.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Well we’re talking about movies—and not the threats that Musk and Trump pose to national security. So maybe not so stupid.

Attended a social function tonight at a friend’s home — and Fox News was on the large screen TV (muted, but still the backdrop). The host is smart, hard-working and generous. It was a reminder of how poorly the left - with its pat villification — understands the right. To our own peril.

Language matters. And this is smart-to talk about freedom and liberty vs democracy. The far right has no use for democracy—but loves it some liberty.
