This article should have made the basic point that other countries are governed by the rule of law. It’s not about “eagerness” to prosecute and it’s not a puzzle. It’s a marker of a deep US problem. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/w...

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Classic Trump. At least he’s predictable. He’s not playing 4-dimensional chess.

Modern tyranny is terror management. I wrote this essay in April 2025 and updated it in November. I'm posting it again now because my fear of this scenario has continued to grow. "The Next Terrorist Attack: And What Comes After" snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-t...

Illuminating interview. Basically Trump is 100% erratic and incapable of strategic thinking. Makes next steps in Iran utterly opaque, and no confidence that US has prepared the ground for the regime change Trump says (today) is goal of the operation. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

The fate of the Iranian people has never been of great concern to American administrations, and this one is no exception www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

SNL's Trump: "People are asking why we had to strike in the early hours of Saturday. One, it's after the stock market closes for the weekend. And two, it's to cause immeasurable fear, rage, and chaos in the SNL writers room."

Quite the opposite. Stand firm. We’re on the right side of history.

"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade." So why do it? "A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..." Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Disgusting

When Tierra Terry, a former Winston-Salem State player, was hired to coach her alma mater some 11 months ago, the goal, she said, was to lead the Rams "to greatness." Mission accomplished.

Same sentiment as J6! Same MO as J6. Rotten 🍅 is so comfortable with insurrection at home and abroad.

My statement regarding President Trump’s illegal war with Iran:

As bad as Iran’s regime is, this is wag the dog without a long term plan. We are pariahs.

Thoughts? I’m trying to figure out who I’m voting for in my local primary. I like this guy but don’t think he’s a front runner, although the race is wide open. It’s a strong field. chicago.suntimes.com/elections/20...

He’s realistic.

Do they think this makes constituents happy to know beloved struggling family members will suffer?

Elizabeth Warren: "This one is to me not even open or arguable. How would the US government keep money that the Supreme Court said it did not legally collect from American businesses, that it did not legally take away from American families that ultimately paid this?"

This makes the guy sound normal. He is not. And we are not just upset because two American protesters got killed. We are against his ruthless ethnic cleansing and prison camps without due process. Do.not.normalize! apple.news/AEHRaruYoTf-...

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

He is just trying to look like the hero. But in reality he’s looking like the idiot he is.

We are the laughingstock of the world because of our moronic and psychotic president. Deservedly so.

A son of sharecroppers, a Freedom Rider, a moral force in Congress, John Lewis taught us that democracy is not a state, it is an act. When we see injustice, we do not look away. We get in good trouble. And we build bridges despite adversity. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Congressman.
