It's time for Democrats to show that criminals in the Trump regime will be punished. We need a Nuremberg Caucus. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Last fall I wrote about Alito's conflicts of interest re: Big Oil's push to get the Supreme Court to bail out their climate liability. Low and behold, Alito did not recuse himself, and the Supreme Court is taking up Big Oil's case. Explicit corruption. aaronregunberg.substack.com/p/i-know-wha...

This better be every single fucking Democrat who shows up to the Reichstag speech next Tuesday.

We are living in a country run by literal Nazis and literal pedophiles who are literally working to make our planet uninhabitable. If they were demons sent from hell to destroy humanity and all that is good, I don’t think we’d know the difference. I mean, what the actual fuck.

Last night more than 150 of us, organized by @indivisibleri.bsky.social called on US senators @whitehouse.senate.gov and @reed.senate.gov to vote no on DHS funding this week. The temp said 20 but felt much colder; we froze our asses off. But we still showed up. Reed has said he will vote no. /1

Trump miscalculated. The regime seems to have assumed that the American people are as devoid of humanity as they are. But they’re not. Americans are repulsed by what’s happening in Minneapolis. This could be Donald Trump’s Waterloo. Let’s press the attack. aaronregunberg.substack.com/p/lets-make-...

There are, I think, millions of Americans who are not Democratic-leaning -- politically, culturally, socially -- who are recognizing that "This Is Like The GESTAPO - HITLER Did this Shit" and are willing to fight it. That's very bad news for the fascists.

Like it was foolish of Schindler to have that list.

What the fuck is this bullshit framing. There is an objective truth to this, filmed from 15 different angles. When known constant blatant liars blatantly lie about something viewable by anyone, and other people say the obvious truth, you don’t have to do a both sides thing.

We need to be clear that this regime is sending death squads to murder protestors. We also need to be clear that Dems voting to fund these death squads 100% have blood on their hands. Any Dem senator who votes for DHS funding is voting for more of these murders.

They have him on the ground, they’re already beating the shit out of him, and then they execute him at point blank range. These are Nazi death squads. Fuck Trump, fuck these fascist goons, and fuck every Dem who keeps voting to fund this evil.

This is simply untenable. No rational, functioning opposition party would actively step in to fund the primary enforcement mechanism of the authoritarian takeover they ostensibly oppose.

My honest best take on what's happening with ICE funding. I got it down to 10 points: 1) Trump/Miller/GOP want more ICE funding 2) Dem leadership doesn't want it but also doesn't see a way to stop it without focusing attention on it. 3) Dems consultants say focus on ICE is a political loser.

I'm so disgusted that Dems may vote to fund ICE. And at the same time I'm so inspired by the people of Minneapolis. All our elite institutions have failed, but among regular people there’s a tremendous amount of compassion and old-fashioned American moxie. It gives me hope for our democracy.

This by @aaronregunberg.bsky.social is again dead-on. "It would be terribly dispiriting to see Senate Democrats cede what is likely their last concrete opportunity this year to block the appropriations that are funding ICE’s horrific abuses."/1 #defundICE aaronregunberg.substack.com/p/will-senat...

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

Mussolini had his Blackshirts, Hitler had his SS, and Trump has ICE—an army of ideologically motivated chuds whose new members owe their employment not to the state (being unqualified for legitimate positions) but rather to Trump’s personal patronage. aaronregunberg.substack.com/p/abolishing...

It is happening here. I wrote a few thoughts on how we should face that reality. aaronregunberg.substack.com/p/it-is-happ...

Saying we shouldn't have a gestapo isn't a radical position. It's the only non-radical position.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

I wrote about the obscenity of the rightwing disinformation machine's efforts to exploit the tragic shooting at Brown. aaronregunberg.substack.com/p/the-rightw...

It fucking kills me that none of these kids is going to get the mandatory mourning, the required moments of silence, the Ezra Klein eulogies, the massive federal government policy response, of the guy who said mass shootings are just the price you pay for freedom.

I wrote about how Tim Robinson's The Chair Company reflects our reality more than we like to admit. The world is lousy with Teccas -- forces that stand to profit when we "blast through a fucking chair." Maybe maladjustment to that isn't the worst thing. aaronregunberg.substack.com/p/the-chair-...

⚠️ Arrest Mark Zuckerberg for Child Endangerment 📌 🚨 Shocking new revelations about Instagram in a lawsuit against social media companies should pave the way for an ambitious prosecutor to file criminal charges. ✍️ @aaronregunberg.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2036...

Thank you @aaronregunberg.bsky.social for helping to expose the ways that #Zuckerberg and #Meta execs have enabled pedophiles to prey on minors and systematically damaged children's #mentalhealth. We need criminal prosecutions for these bastards. aaronregunberg.substack.com/p/arrest-mar...

The allegations detailed in recent court filings against Meta indicate that its executives have recklessly endangered children. In many jurisdictions, that is a crime. For @newrepublic.com, I wrote about why Mark Zuckerberg should be prosecuted accordingly. newrepublic.com/article/2036...

Remember, parents, it’s never too early to teach your kids about FDR, the New Deal, and the ways that active government for the public good can improve people’s lives and defeat fascism!

I wrote about Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito's massive conflicts of interest re: the climate deception cases that Big Oil is desperately trying to get the Supreme Court to step in and dismiss. newrepublic.com/article/2036...

Wow. This is from *James Carville.* It really is starting to feel like economic populists have won the debate. Our haters have become our waiters -- time for us to all build a table of success for the Democratic Party.

Excellent @aaronregunberg.bsky.social piece in @newrepublic.com here - the centrist instinct to go silent on climate is a losing strategy newrepublic.com/article/2033...

"Democrats can leverage their advantage on climate to win voters’ trust on what will likely be the most significant issues in 2026 and 2028," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social, summarizing a new @dataforprogress.org report. newrepublic.com/article/2033...

Some billionaires, while building "apocalypse shelters" as personal escape hatches from the climate crisis, are urging Democrats to stop talking about and adopting policies to tackle this existential threat. Don't buy their bullshit. 1/ @aaronregunberg.bsky.social @thenewrepublic.bsky.social

Billionaires, while building their own luxury bunkers for “apocalypse insurance," are funding groups telling Dems to forget about climate action. We just published a memo laying out why that'd be a huge political mistake. aaronregunberg.substack.com/p/this-data-...

With AI threatening future employment on a massive scale, particularly among young people already indentured by student loan debt, Sasha Cohen speaks with @aaronregunberg.bsky.social about his @newrepublic.com article, “Americans Hate AI: Will the Democrats Join Them?” soundcloud.com/user-8304426...

AI billionaires are enshittifying our lives, jacking up our electricity bills, destroying our jobs, and inflating a bubble that may crash our economy. For @newrepublic.com, I ask if Democrats will take, or waste, this obvious opportunity? newrepublic.com/article/2028...

FYI these are Senate Democrats' internal rules. I can think of one Senate Minority Leader in particular who has earned an expulsion from the Conference.

Has there ever been a man who’s failed to meet the moment more than Chuck Schumer? Relentlessly, incessantly, unstoppably wrong at every turn, Schumer is going to go down in history as the worst Dem legislative leader in modern times, and it’s not even particularly close.

So Dems dominated Tuesday, during a government shutdown, with a message of standing up and fighting this unpopular administration, and their first response is to fold to that administration’s unpopular budget demands for zero concessions? Am I getting this right?

For @newrepublic.com I wrote about how the explosive growth of clean energy in China is a powerful piece of evidence that Big Oil's decades of climate lies should, in fact, be seen as the *cause* of today's climate catastrophes. newrepublic.com/article/2020...

"In this age of nightmares, the siren song of despair is tempting, and resisting it takes work. But 'The Lord of the Rings' reminds us that in every way, the case for hope ... is the more pragmatic option." By @aaronregunberg.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Great piece from @aaronregunberg.bsky.social

“…asking the right questions, but pushing the wrong answers…” This, from @aaronregunberg.bsky.social, is the smartest critique of Ezra Klein’s egregious era that I’ve seen. newrepublic.com/article/2011...

Do pundits like Ezra Klein realize how dangerous what they’re doing is? They are helping MAGA construct what George Orwell described as a nightmare world, a world where MAGA controls not only the future, but the past. This prospect should, indeed, frighten us more than bombs.

Like Orwell's totalitarian state in 1984, MAGA wants us to accept that 2 + 2 = 5. We cannot allow ourselves, as too many Dems and liberal pundits have been, to accept this nightmare world. Two plus two make four. It's important that we stand up and say so. aaronregunberg.substack.com/p/magas-mand...

Grateful for the courage of someone like Misti Leon, who is fighting to hold Big Oil accountable for the death of her mother in a climate disaster that would have been "virtually impossible" but for Big Oil's conduct.

few years back I got @aaronregunberg.bsky.social to blog it newrepublic.com/article/1670...

this is exactly why it enrages me that the *entire* clean energy development conversation on "our" side is now focusing on NIMBYs, as if they were the only or even the main obstacle to implementing climate policy and tech. it's utter madness.

Having failed to learn the key lesson from last year’s defeat, party leaders are still promoting moderate candidates to run against populist progressives in next year’s elections. And imperiling Democrats’ chances in 2026. trib.al/sjP8Yrm
