Worried about Trump's increasingly oppressive tactics? This Kratom based drink will have you feeling like you’re in 1980s Burma.

There isn't a city, state, or county across this nation that doesn't have issues that make it far from perfect. None of that justifies military dictatorship as a governing solution.

The goal of a broad anti-fascist alliance isn’t to agree on everything. It is to defeat fascism, so that liberals, neocons, progressives, and nationalists can disagree bitterly about everything else

“Pushes the bounds”, “a debate has emerged”, “tests the limits” and “sparked debate” all in one post. Just incredible work by the AP. Take a bow

Look at Trump’s body language and face at every one of these meetings with Putin. And then he takes no questions?! Dude lives for those moments. My god, Vlad just owns this guy. I wish we knew what it was, but I suppose it doesn’t matter.

"He's in the process of establishing a dictatorship." It's a simple 8-word sentence. News media could tell the public that. They know it's true. They report on the various steps toward autocracy every day. But they're afraid to utter that 8-word sentence. Which is more evidence of how true it is.

The most votes for Trump in any state came from California. The second most votes for Harris in any state came from Texas. The notion that US states are politically uniform, and everyone there deserves the consequences of state elections is absurd.

1/8 What if I told u most of GOP’s worst legislation didn’t start in Congress, it started on Twitter? A lie is seeded by influencers, amplified by media, & written into law by GOP. This is a pipeline, not a coincidence. And it’s breaking democracy.

Obviously a lot of the talk at this week’s Miami Grand Prix has been about Andrea Kimi Antonelli becoming the youngest driver to ever claim an F1 pole. But I love seeing the veterans of the sport like Alonso and Hamilton still competing at such a high level.

I don’t understand why Zelenskyy made this trip?. He knew going in that co-Presidents Trump and Musk are bad actors. And now Vance and Trump are reiterating that point and making it very clear they’re on Russia’s side. Plus, why would he trust that any of them would stick to a deal?

President Trump bewildered race fans at yesterday’s Daytona 500, by claiming “Stock car racing has been a tradition since the Revolutionary War.” As anachronistic as colonial automobile races would seem, Mr. Trump was pointing to a serious challenge: the future of American auto safety standards.

What Trump has done for US farmers so far: -frozen their foreign aid program (and left their food to rot) -encouraged EU to ban their products -frozen legally-owed reimbursements for their energy efficiency upgrades etc. -threatened to deport half their workforce -suppressed research on bird flu

I’ve been making this comparison: US democracy has the immune system of New World populations in the 16th century, and MAGA is authoritarian smallpox. Zero previous exposure means extreme vulnerability.

If I was a foreign power wanting to cripple US power, I'd: 1. Purge intel agencies + expose agents 2. Mess w/Treasury 3. Politicize military 4. Turn off foreign aid 5. Shutter anti-corruption + election interference teams 6. Sow discord with allies Wait, I'm getting an update...

For the record, any assertions that current concerns are just for the “next four years” are fully misguided. We are on a path to permanently breaking existing systems; any fixes will come in building new ones. Prepare for that work, which will take the rest of your life.
