Just to be clear. It’s the John F Kennedy center legally. Just like it’s still the department of defense

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.   ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.

The Kennedy Center was established and named by an act of Congress. No media outlet should call it anything different until Congress amends or repeals that Act. Trump is not a king.

Feels to me like the last quote here is more devastating and incriminating than even the birthday book and the photos and the rest.

Imagine if he could see what his own son was doing right now, the lies, the grifting and corruption, the medical quackery, the conspiracy-mongering, the anti-science knuckle-dragging, the firing of proud public servants, all the shameful behavior. Subscribe here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/subscribe

ProPublica could not find evidence Trump ever lived at either of the two Florida properties he claimed as principal residences in the 1990s. Legal documents and other records from the period give his address as Trump Tower in Manhattan.

Exactly. If people can’t see the familiar choreography by now…..

Insane. The only thing that makes sense is that Starmer and his Cabinet have been bought. There needs to be an inquiry into *that* as well...

Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Susie Wiles asked “who would blame" Trump for seeking retribution against his political opponents? Well, I do. In fact, I blame him and all his enablers. Become a Democracy Docket premium member now to read all my writings and support its pro-democracy mission. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

"Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country, and you see it happening already." -Donald Trump, 4/2/25

The Trump admin, in its quest to eliminate the entire concept of asylum from the law and get rid of all asylum applicants without hearing their cases, wants to deport a Chinese dissident to Uganda, despite the fact that he has a slam-dunk asylum claim.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII. One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing. The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

The person who helped locate the Brown shooter is an immigrant. The person in Sydney who tackled one of the shooters is Muslim. Sometimes the people who are most willing to help others are from communities that know first-hand how much hatred threatens the values we need to live together.

Around the year 1900, 18% of American children died before the age of 5. Plus, their premature deaths haunted their families. Vaccination knocked that death rate below 1%. 💉 Science saves children and families. #USDemocracy #MomSky

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

We wanted to express our gratitude to the brave, patriotic people who are video-taping and posting the disgusting crimes that Trump’s masked goons commit every day on American streets. History will not remember them kindly. Don’t forget to subscribe: www.dworkinsubstack.com/subscribe

'I'll play you Donald Trump lying, and the Met Commissioner doing what every patriotic Brit should be doing...' @mrjamesob.bsky.social cautions against 'treachery', as Sir Mark Rowley rubbishes Trump's claims about safety under Sadiq Khan last month.

In 2028, any Democratic “I wanna be president,” throwing their hat in the ring, who will not commit to holding these Trump circle criminals accountable for their crimes…will be a no go for me. What has been done, and is being done right now, cannot go unpunished.

Stop printing lies in the newspaper. There need to be consequences for printing lies in the newspaper. He literally says and believes exactly this, several times per day and on camera.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

We’re at a tipping point. As we go into 2026, a majority of 2016 voters still alive voted Remain.

“I Factchecked Trump’s Big Politico Interview – Because Politico Didn’t!” 15 lies listed and debunked. Read my critique of the Trump interview:

So today I found out that my TED talk ‘This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was TED’s most watched talk of the year. It’s sort of amazing & terrifying. Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZOo...

Sure, we're the weak and decaying ones...

The Trump administration's foreign policy strategy attacks allies including the UK & has been enthusiastically greeted by the Kremlin. Last month, the USA announced a 'peace deal' the Kremlin had written. And in the UK, the media is full of people still wibbling about 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'.

Still think Trump/Russia is a “hoax”? www.wsj.com/world/europe...

They’re not hiding the brutality anymore. They want you to see it. They want you to get used to it.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Republican Rep.Michael McCaul of Texas: The Russia has abducted at least 20,000 [Ukrainian]children.That is the number we can verify.But every expert I’ve spoken with believes the true figure is far,far higher… As a father of five,I can’t imagine any of my children being kidnapped

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Well said - I've been labelling the behaviour of Musk (and others) as being "Michael Jackson Syndrome" for a while now. The thought that they no longer respect others or believe they have any peers worth listening to; but I like your formulation even more.

Look at what Trump has done to what was a thriving economy under Biden. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The only 'peace' which Russia will accept is one which carves up Ukraine's territory, destroys its sovereignty and turns it into vassal state for Putin to plunder. We Europeans cannot let that happen.

In just a few days, Pete Hegseth has gone from “Fake News” to Admiral Bradley gave the order (after saying the day after the event that he watched it all live), to saying he left the room after the first strike because he was busy. This is why you don’t put the Fox News weekend host in charge.

The one thing Donald Trump has always and will always be afraid of is the truth. And right now, he’s scared.

The wholesale murder of people in international waters, without due process, is a crime. If left unchecked, it will lead to more such crimes. This is how things work. Letting them get away with it is the same as giving them permission to keep doing it.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

🧵A legal scholar finds the killing by special forces of survivors in the Navy attack on an alleged drug boat to be a war crime and murder. "the currently governing DOD Manual in Section 5.9 states clearly that persons “placed hors de combat may not be made the object of attack.” ...

The deranged madman now threatens to blow up commercial airliners flying in and out of Venezuela.

Small changes to ‘for you’ feed on X can rapidly increase political polarisation

Lisa Murkowski stands up for fellow Senator Mark Kelly.

In 2022, Donald Trump sued me and others associated with the Clinton campaign for RICO. We did not cave. We fought. First, we won in a Florida trial court. Today, we won in the 11th Circuit. To the law firms, media corps and billionaires who bow down: Learn a lesson. Have some dignity and fight.
