Silence is not only complicity in the face of tyranny. It is rocket fuel for tyrants.

This is such a good conversation. You’ll learn stuff that matters. youtube.com/watch?v=4a5J...

“You are seeing political shift happening. And that is because of the people. It starts with the people. Principled, peaceful, relentless protest. It works.” youtu.be/WCGHVGSx1NE?...

“It is time for companies and countries to take their signs down." If you don’t know the context of that quote, I strongly encourage you to watch the incredible speech delivered by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in Davos. I’ve described it as seminal. It was. youtu.be/hZCGD3ZTlZw?...

Madman on the loose...with a big gun in his hand.

Every so often I just have to note that Chuck Schumer is really not up to the moment and ought to step down as the Minority Leader of the United States Senate.

ICE then. ICE now.

We are the citizens of what is now a rogue and predatory nation. As citizens, we have the responsibility to resist.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —— George Orwell, 1984

This is MURDER! Period. The complicit Department of Homeland Security is LYING to defend this. The video is clear. The must be accountability! youtu.be/lD8-ssozQCM?...

Merry Christmas Eve!

Well…that was worth a $1 a month for a year introductory subscription to Vanity Fair! There will be endless debate about why she said everything she did. But she has great job security…since she knows about everything.

Good morning.

You know what happens when people stand up against bullies? More people stand up against bullies. Courage is contagious.

Good for Mamdani! I like him more and more. Check out this 86 second video put out by the NYC Mayor-elect. (You can imagine what the MAGA world is saying about it.) youtu.be/Tq-KqQXy4LE?...

FYI… Full WRI article: www.wri.org/insights/cli...

Excellent analysis from Max. DESCRIPTION: Max breaks down the flurry of recent labor market data the government is releasing. When you dig below the headline numbers it shows just how much structural damage exists in the job market...and Trump’s is only making it worse. youtu.be/4vcrkx5n4Hs?...

Almost certainly the most important recent development that most people aren’t well informed about. We are sinking fast. —- “Late last night, the Trump administration released the 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) of the United States of America.” open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

It won’t work, but it’s what they want and are trying to do…and a lot of people and our country are being hurt. youtu.be/bkKyySIFbxw?...

Wonderful images. www.theatlantic.com/photography/...

This is real. The ignorance and racism of Trump and his administration gets louder and prouder by the day.

Good morning. We’re having our first snow of the season.

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving!

Under the guise of brokering a peace deal, Donald Trump has served as the delivery boy for Putin’s conditions for the surrender of Ukraine.

Now would be good.

For a number of reasons, Chuck Schumer has got to be replaced as the Senate Minority Leader.

Good morning.

“Donald Trump doesn’t give a fuck…about even looking like he gives a fuck.” Jon Stewart on The Daily Show DESCRIPTION: Between Trump throwing a lavish "Great Gatsby"-themed party on the night that SNAP benefits ran out for millions of Americans… youtu.be/JWfUcyPUl48?...

“Obey the law!” At a Senate Democratic press briefing on Wednesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) slammed President Trump for the looming healthcare cost increases, the government shutdown, and for not immediately using emergency funding to keep SNAP benefits running. youtu.be/XKQodVNVOz8?...

There HAS TO BE a massive and sustained backlash! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Too many ignore the truth. But we still need to get it out there.

I recommend watching all of this. But if not, take a moment to hear Stephen Miller’s angry rant and threats (about 5:20 in to the video). youtu.be/pvNvf_5CPas?...

So…it turns out that Charlie Kirk was killed by a 22 year old, white, anti-gay, college dropout out, from Utah, who grew up playing with guns in a Republican, Mormon family that supports Trump. youtu.be/Smcmjod2Vmk?...
