Let's never let them gaslight us on this like they always try.

Trump "addressing" the UN is probably the most embarrassing moment our country has had in decades. How can we explain to the world how he got reelected?

Dr. Cankles, Dr Brain worm, Dr Oz, Dr Doolittle, and the rest have solved autism!!!! Don't take Tylenol. That's it (except, take it when you have to).

A parallel of the Trump Admin’s actions post-Kirk: 1. What the Trump Admin is trying to do: the Playbook of Authoritarians 2. What we can do to counter it: the Playbook of Resistance 3. How his authoritarian actions play out in an American legal system

We’re witnessing the Right suffer a collective breakdown in which their fantasies of persecution and insecurity are playing out in their media and, in turn, as their beloved fascist regime prepares to crush their political enemies. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-right-...

They need to get kash a tissue - he appears to have a cold- sniff, sniff

MSM is epically failing. All are accepting without inquiry the Utah governor's "statements" that the shooter is "left wing" and there was some "trans romantic relationship". NBC is left with just "wondering if this is relevant". This narrative is now fixed- See: Barr/Mueller report.

MAGA needs to stop the gaslighting and just admit the truth - that this guy is one of their own. I am so sick of their insane bullshit. It’s NOT the left using vitriolic rhetoric or calling for violence, it’s them. FFS Elon is sharing a doxxing list with millions of followers. They own this mess.

The Nazis want people to stop calling them Nazis while they continue their Nazi takeover.

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!) Receipts: zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki...

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people. Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it. We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

Hey MAGA The President is a pedophile. Your party is trying to cover it up and failing. The economy is destroyed. Trust in America has plummeted. Our rights are being taken away from us. And guess what?

one thing which is patently obvious about the Supreme Court right now is that it is using the shadow docket to avoid making precedents that a future Democrat might be able to use, while nonetheless giving Donald Trump everything he wants -- at least in part because if the did not, he'd do it anyway.

Remember, tariffs are generally calculated as a percentage of the value of the imported item. For example, a 10% tariff on a $100 product means the IMPORTER pays $10 extra tax (tariff) at the border, which often increases retail prices for consumers.

Trump loves the US Open.

“.. democracy often erodes slowly at first .. But with each concession, autocrats become bolder.. and reversal becomes harder. Responses that, early on, can feel pragmatic—waiting it out, remaining silent, cutting a deal—only embolden ..” @dziblatt.bsky.social www.foreignaffairs.com/germany/hitl...

And the World Cup. The United States is a fascist police state where no one is safe.

"I spent weeks researching this question, desperately looking for counter-examples ... Here's what I found: Once fascists win power democratically, they have never been removed democratically. Not once. Ever." 😔

Clear-eyed and correct.

This book, Defying Hitler, by Sebastian Haffner, is one man's chronicle of the Nazi years. An intimate, honest attempt to come to grips with how Germans dealt with the takeover of their country. I found much resonance with the struggles we are all currently facing. A compelling and tragic story

While Volodymyr Zelensky was given a tour White House, President Trump made an unplanned stop in Melania's bedroom.

Holy shit.

New from me: Trump is a dictator who must be removed from power and we need to state that out loud. open.substack.com/pub/ctrlaltr...

#epsteinfiles #pedopotus

As I said yesterday, the volume of Kompromat that Putin must have on Trump... Could be... Career ending. I'm also certain that there's an Epstein factor going on. Release the Epstein files. Sláva Ukrayíni! ✊🏻 🇺🇦 🌻

A reminder why Melania is sending C&Ds to everyone who repeats Wolff’s claim but not Wolff himself.

Now: Union Station in Washington, D.C.

Gov. Newsom: We cannot stand back and watch this democracy disappear district by district, all across this country. Not just in Texas but Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Florida. We need to stand up, not just California. We need to be firm in our resolve

"As you can see—and as any American paying attention to the news these days can attest—it does not take that long for a stubborn and dedicated strongman, however ridiculous he may appear, to acquire fearsome authoritarian powers."

As L.A. was a couple of months ago, D.C. is merely an excuse for Trump to continue normalizing the use of federal law enforcement and the U.S. military to police Democratic cities. The implications for local self-government, civil liberties, and the 2026 and 2028 elections are obvious and ominous.

The best analysis of what’s going on that I have read in a long time.. jesspiper.substack.com/p/i-know-exa...

My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab. Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us. It’s time to fight back.

“So, as Trump has talked and talked over the last few weeks, these facts have become clearer: Trump knew what Epstein was up to. He didn’t care about what Epstein was doing. And he still doesn’t care about Epstein’s victims.” www.thebulwark.com/p/please-mr-...

🚨🚨Holy Shit!! Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) is not fucking around with this fiery speech on the Senate floor.💥🔥💥We need this from every Democrat if we are going to push back on fascism and save our fragile Democracy!! More of this please!! Bravo Senator Booker!!

“He is literally saying he has the power to cancel a TV show and then he’s sending out one of his minions to say they’re going to use federal authority... to silence somebody because she said something that hurt the president’s feelings.” https://trib.al/lRYKS8i

via @keithedwards.bsky.social In a deeply unsettling unearthed 2006 audio recording, Donald Trump says he has no “age limit” for sleeping with young girls. He claims he’d stop at “12 year olds.”

First time I’ve ever watched a Leavitt WH press briefing in full.

Interesting, perhaps, how in 6 months we've gone from "I just want to be a dictator for 1 day" to he's just a dictator, and from "we may be approaching a constitutional crisis" to "oh, this is what fascism is like". Not sure what we'll be saying in another 6 months

Wolff: I mean, Epstein would often recount his experiences with women—pursuing women—with Trump. At one point in their relationship, they even shared a girlfriend for, I think, the better part of a year. In fact, Epstein regarded Trump’s behavior with women as, somehow, even worse than his own.

By 2029 the GOP may have entrenched their coup by "legal" methods Gerrymandering-permitted by MAGA judges Changes in citizenship laws and deportations Quashing dissent by jailing protesters And radical "interpretation" of the Constitution We still don't fully comprehend the danger America faces

My interview w/ @beyerstein.bsky.social, who said: "Even if he manages to tamp down this scandal, there has been a qualitative conceptual shift. It has become conceivable to some of his most loyal supporters that he’s not just wrong but evil. That can’t be unthought, even if it can be repressed."
