There's a reason for that, apparently...😡 bsky.app/profile/benc...

Q: Are MAGAts truly unable to recognize how out-of-touch Trump is with reality? A: You really cannot appreciate how stupid & ignorant these imbeciles are— it’s as if a leaking septic tank came to life. Q: Do they know anything at all? A: The weeds in your lawn are more aware.

Republicans are ALWAYS the school shooters— Democrats don’t slaughter children. It’s not a coincidence, of course. The same sociopaths who try to stop you from vaccinating your kids are perfectly willing to mow them down with gunfire. They are evil— in every possible way, on every possible level.

Please share

@lkrozen.bsky.social About the horror on Bondi Beach in Australia: one detail moves me deeply. The "hero" - the only person to risk his life by disarming one of the shooters (and who was shot twice himself) - is a Muslim. A Muslim saving Jews is a good message.

That's how it's done 🔥

Most defiantly!

I know we've chatted before. My years at RISD, as well, were some of my happiest years. I remember walking along (I think)Beacon St about to turn right to go up to the refectory/dining hall, one gorgeous fall day & thinking my life was perfect. To lose the trust in one's surroundings is shattering.

Zelenskyy and the Europeans have started their meeting with the US Carve Up Ukraine For Cash team of Witkoff and Kushner in Berlin.

I attended Brown graduate school and I also taught at Brown. I feel shellshocked just reading this news. My 7 years living on the Brown campus were some of the happiest years of my life. The news is unfathomable to me.

Large Ukrainian drone attack on Simferopol thermal power plant has blown up a fuel depot. #explodey

Great interview, Greg! “Strategic statelessness” and “competitive depravity” should enter the national conversation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump sued by preservationists seeking architecture review and congressional approval over White House ballroom project.

Really an amazing human being

Why would anybody come to the United States from Europe now?

Among other states, Florida depends heavily on international tourist, especially from Europe, coming during the winter. So do the national parks. This police state inquiry, demanding sensitive information from foreign visitors is deeply destructive in so many ways.

That must be an awesome memory! I had never heard of him until the DNC speech in 2004. It was an absolute show stopper.

I knew it was going to be a good night when Indiana was close early. Then, I started champagne and it got very messy.😄

I've seen pictures of him smoking. How much did you interact?

😊☕️

But you just know. I smile every time I remember him, just for the class and panache.

You know right away. It's the undefinable it. Nobody can define "it" as if it is a formula.😊

I encountered a magnificent Northern Cardinal on another frigid morning in Central Park. Definitely one of our most beautiful birds! ❤️❤️❤️ #Cardinal #CentralPark #birding

I don’t think it is adequately understood that the Rightwing cabal under Trump is actively knowingly corrupt - committed to gaining money and power by any means. The corruption is systematic, every govt function is an opportunity. And as Trump gains power, he is increasingly open about these abuses.

It's hard to know exactly what will happen now, given how unprecedented this is. But Trump and Miller envisioned this as a test of their ability to spread fear of lawless state terror. For now, the lower courts are admirably defending the rule of law. 5/5 newrepublic.com/article/2043...

DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data. My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

Another example of defiance as Trump enters his weak lame duck era

That’s an obscene amount of energy. Meta should foot the bill.

This is relevant to a piece I have coming out tomorrow. Do Kwon, the South Korean cryptocurrency entrepreneur behind two digital currencies that lost an estimated $40 billion in 2022, was sentenced in New York federal court to 15 years in prison for fraud and conspiracy.

The EU has approved an indefinite freeze of ~€210bn in Russian sovereign assets. That ends the 6-month renewal cycle which Hungary used to try to block it. The freeze lasts until Russia ends the war and pays reparations.

On Tuesday, Pritzker signed a bill that makes it easier for Illinois residents to sue federal immigration agents for up to $10,000 if they believe their rights have been violated, and also restricts those agents from enforcement outside courthouses.

It's not a question of politics or party. Congress has a constitutional obligation to impeach and to remove a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors and forsakes his solemn oath. And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.

Seems like there’s lots of indications Trump is on anti-dementia drugs. www.al.com/politics/202...

The key question in American politics now is whether public disapproval of Trump will grow fast enough to save our democracy before Trump builds such a crushing dictatorship that public opinion no longer matters.

Things are getting bad in the US.

Zelenskyy: “The United States does not want Ukraine to be in NATO. “What separate agreements the US has with Russia — we do not know. “Over time all secrets come to light.”

Mike Lindell has announced he’s running for Governor of Minnesota.

The US is preparing to seize more tankers carrying Venezuelan oil, Reuters reports.

"I truthfully don't understand why we brought special operators into this to launch drone aircraft and destroy boats and kill people other than performative politics," @markhertling.bsky.social tells @timmiller.bsky.social. lnk.thebulwark.com/4rM6OSX?utm_...

"While many prominent athletes, including LeBron James and Stephen Curry, criticized the Trump administration during its first term, fewer have done so during its second. 'I feel like I’m sometimes screaming into the void,' Martina Navratilova said."

it's stunning that the pentagon asked this question, obviously, but it's also interesting that the lawyers at state were actually listened to
