Miller and Trump want to fuel bigotry. Like dictators before him, Trump’s road to tyranny is paved with stones hurled at “them.” His entire project depends on hate. But America is better than Trump and his chief bigot. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/stephen-millers-latest-bigoted-bullshit

Pelosi: "January 6 was really sad in itself. But the sorrow of it also springs from the fact that this president is trying to rewrite history."

You’ve got a few days left to get your annual National Parks pass without Trump’s face on it.

There’s a reason the political right wants to keep people dumb.

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

He came with the receipts.

MAGA doesn’t follow Trump because they think he’s a brilliant businessman or a tough guy. They follow him because he’s convinced mediocre, insecure people that their ignorance and stupidity are actually strengths, and that absolutely nothing is their fault. He gives them permission to be hateful.

Yes, choosing just 500 was a near-impossible task. Here's 1-100, which spans from January through February:

Over the past months, the DOJ has launched an unprecedented national campaign seeking unfettered access to voter records, suing election officials in 21 states plus Washington, D.C. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

A comprehensive list in chronological order of the 500 Worst Things the Trump Admin Did in 2025. Here is Part 1: 1-100. Jan-Feb 2025. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

I just taught my lecture course on mid-20th c US history, which starts with Harding and concludes with Nixon. For the first time, I had to pause and stress that those scandals were actually shocking at the time and, what’s more, that Americans actually demanded people be held accountable.

There has been a startling & disturbing increase in violent threats against judges who rule against Felon Trump. I break down the latest data from the US Marshals Service & detail the hypocrisy from the Far-Right who accuse Democrats of promoting political violence. youtu.be/Elmprpo0miE?...

Back from a week in Canada visiting my in-laws. Normally we get together in the Poconos, as it’s central for all of the families, but the in-laws aren’t comfortable coming here under Trump’s new rules so we moved it all north of the border. That’s probably $8k that would’ve gone to Pennsylvania.

I don't recall a time when saying Merry Christmas was ever banned under Biden or Obama. How strange.

My family enjoyed huge delicious blackberries on Christmas. As we live in the land of blackberries, the PNW, we know blackberries aren’t in season in December. Looked at the package. They were grown in MEXICO. We love Mexico and the Mexican people. Don’t ever forget they #FeedAmerica

I usually post only once a day. If I ever post this many in one day, please contact my loved ones so they can stage an intervention. #ThankYouForYourAttentionToThisMatter 🙏

This should be the first thing Trump is impeached for. Easy to prove and easy for the public to understand.

This anodyne BS is how the NYT summarizes the most corrupt presidency in US history. Trump said he didn't know what Project 2025 was; he lied. He said he would get prices down; he lied. He said he'd only deport criminals; he lied. He started wars and attacked his own people.

Gatti’s Corporate Power and the Politics of Change brilliantly exposes how corporations act as unelected governors, risking democracy’s erosion. I contrast with visions by Carole Pateman & Nell Minow. www.corpgov.net/2025/12/matt... #corpgov #ESG #democracy

I always think about the maya Angelou quote because it’s really true, “People will always remember how you made them feel,"

This is beyond Christian nationalism. Imagine worshipping Trump.

Still up. Glad I posted here and not YouTube. This is what Bari Weiss and CBS tried to hide from us.

Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.

So Now We Are Selling Spy Gadgets to Our Enemies ??? apnews.com/article/chin...

Due to disdain, pedophilia accusations is a tactic Putin used to eliminate opponents. Trump uses baseless rhetoric to eliminate enemies & liked “Q” who said, the world was run by a cabal of pedophiles in the Dem Party. Because of the Epstein files, we can now see disdain for it in all parties. 1/2

Epstein's money laundering was as malevolent and shameless as his sex trafficking. No wonder he and Trump were best friends for 15 years.

The Supreme Court has announced that it’s going to hear arguments on President Trump’s order rescinding birthright citizenship. The text and history ought to make this an open-and-shut case. bit.ly/40oplbc

Via NPR ~ Hundreds of celebrities have relaunched a committee to defend free speech that was first formed during the post-World War II Red Scare. It’s spearheaded Jane Fonda, whose father, Henry Fonda, stood against the Hollywood blacklists of the McCarthy era.⁠ ⁠

A year-end special from me: The 25 Worst Villains of the Trump Admin, in ranking order. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

This most difficult part of this exercise was only picking 25.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Trump frustrated at never-ending Epstein saga, calls on DOJ to release names of only Dems connected to Epstein to “embarrass them” and suggests that despite legal requirement to release everything, DOJ should consider saying “no more.”

Poor Donald. He's so stupid and confused. He thinks Barack Obama (who was no longer in power) controlled the 2020 election. And he thinks Joe Biden (who wasn't yet in power) authorized FBI agents to be sent to the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, when DOJ reported to Trump.

JUST IN: Trump calls on the DOJ to release the names of Democrats associated with Jeffrey Epstein to “embarrass them,” while telling the DOJ to say “NO MORE” to releasing any additional files.

Seems to me this is a pathetic exhortation but an air-tight confession of guilt

From redistricting to President Donald Trump’s executive power grab to the Justice Department’s war on voting and beyond, these top-visited stories highlight the issues that defined democracy in 2025. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

true. that's bc you've allowed your sense of style to be narrowly defined by fashion brands, instead of thinking about it in terms of cultural history. over the course of the 20th century, many groups have dressed well, even if they didn't conform to fashion trends or bourgeois respectability

When the history of this cruel era is written, the shame should be no less than the shame we now feel about the roundups and detention of Japanese Americans in World War II. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-brazen-cruelty-of-the-trump-regime
