~250 years ago was the founding of the United States. Reconstruction has been called the Second Founding of America. The Right has been working on a Third Founding for decades.

I'm guessing that Trump is at Mt Rushmore for this Independence Day only because he hoped to be see his face included among them.

apnews.com/article/supr... Well, now I’m waiting for a future 5-4 decision by the court that people can protest against Republican presidents

Trump wants the Postal Service to REFUSE to mail ballots if states don't bow down to Trump and hand over their voter rolls. Insane and unconstitutional. That's exactly why a federal judge just BLOCKED Trump's EO attacking vote by mail. I’ll keep fighting to protect our democracy. 🇺🇸

www.axios.com/2026/06/07/t... Trump certainly doesn’t look like he has any control of the situation, but I’m sure his sycophantic Cabinet will tell the Emperor he has the most resplendent clothes.

apnews.com/article/arti... The less human are able to object to unethical and/or illegal orders the better, I guess 🤷‍♂️

Death to the Patriarchy!

An audience member asked me about leftist pronatalism.

Dude, doing things that helped Americans left the station a long time ago. Get a clue. (from www.cnn.com/2026/05/23/p... )

As has been explained before, If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ceases to exist. If Russia stops fighting, the war ceases to exist.

“Those who feel like they can intimidate our fellow [Muslim] citizens to take out their anger don't represent the best of America, they represent the worst of humankind, and they should be ashamed of that kind of behavior.” --George W. Bush, six days after 9/11

www.cnbc.com/2026/05/05/s... This feels very much like Lucy putting the football down for Charlie Brown to kick, but what do I know? It's not like the war with Iran hasn't been said to be over since March several times.

Reminder that the Trump regime is still blowing up suspected “drug boats” — killing 185 people since September. But no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it. This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.

Better idea: No.

That’s quite a chart www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

But what if a political party's platform was racism? That would seem to undercut the "partisan gerrymandering is ok". www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

even Kim Jong Un has refrained from putting himself on North Korea's passport

No Trump nominee should get confirmed. None. Simply having Trump put them forward makes them a terrible risk. Look at all the others he has around him. Period. Confirming his nominees is unpatriotic.

www.cnn.com/2026/04/18/w... Funny how Trump is unintentionally nudging the world away from fossil fuels.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

abcnews.com/video/132091... I can't tell if this is calculated cynicism or cult doctrine. The progressivism of today is the natural evolution of the progressivism of Teddy Roosevelt's time.

The fact that the Pope saying some basic Christian stuff is considered a political attack against Trump and MAGA clearly shows the anti-Christian nature of the regime.

apnews.com/article/iran... So now the US—not Iran—will be the one halting trade through the Strait? I’m going to guess that Trump is jealous of Iran’s power?

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

Alito gives lawyers plain-English lesson on meaning of 'day' as Supreme Court weighs late-ballot fight Alito was getting hung up on the word “day” in Election Day. When it comes to presidential elections in the US, there are Elections Days (plural).

At this point I don't wonder how much insider trading is going on. I wonder how much policy is being made with the purpose of insider trading on it.

if you're travelling and you are a documented citizen (esp if you're white/white-passing), you need to speak up & interrupt any racial profiling you witness. We are absolutely defeated if we allow ICE agents to harass people in the broad light of crowded airports. Don't be a good deputy citizen.

I'm quoted in this piece about an ongoing prosecutorial conspiracy against freedom of assembly and its chilling effects beyond this baseless case chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast. They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

We have your backs. You're not alone.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 NIV For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness.

This is typical abuser behavior: 1. Hurt people. 2. When you get caught hurting people and your normal blame-shifting isn't working, soften your words and act like you love them. 3. Hurt people again. 4. Repeat these steps until something irreversible happens.

Thank you, Minnesota!

Economic blackout day planned in Minnesota to protest ICE surge
