I will never forget.

Premiering tomorrow night on PBS, this new documentary shows how the US government used propaganda, censorship, and co-opting of the press to manipulate the postwar narrative about the obliteration of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in order to suppress the horrific human toll of the two atomic attacks.

miller is truly just a dead-eyed Nazi freak. this shit makes no sense to normal people. just insane grievance coming from the richest country in the history of the planet. this man clearly has some bespoke pathological mental disorder.

Eyes wide open, folks. They're revealing the supervillain plot.

Wrote a thing: The carnage associated with fossil fuel is why speeding the transition to renewables is good for international stability as well as everything else. Fossil fuel is inseparable from violence, and dependence on it it has created a brutal world order....

You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

This is *extremely* weak leadership from Jeffries and Schumer. When the wannabe king ignores congress to initiate regime change abroad, they are requesting a fucking briefing sometime soon.

Just to reset - Trump feels like he can do whatever he wants as President is not just bc we have a compliant Congress led by Republicans (w/ a toothless Dem opposition) but also because John Roberts and his MAGA #SCOTUS gave him a blank check.

The same editorial board described Seattle’s mayor raising taxes to pay for childcare as a totalitarian power grab

Kidnapping Maduro and taking over Venezuela would be illegal even if Congress had authorized it.

Obsessing over Congressional approval in this moment is a category error. Trump invaded Venezuela, kidnapped its president, and bombed families to seize control of the country for his billionaire buddies. The MAGA regime isn’t breaking the rules. It’s teaching people that rules no longer apply.

📢 LOUDER

I don’t love you and I’m not holding your hand: call your Senator and tell them that the must shut down the government on January 30th until this ends, a thing that Democrats have the hard power to do at this very moment.

Pay attention to which Democrats say stuff like this, and which ones complain that Trump didn’t give Congress enough notice

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

A shame Dick Cheney didn’t live to see this. Nobody would’ve savored the nostalgia quite like him.

Genuinely funny watching all the "this is about democracy" cable news commentators scramble to pivot after the Trump presser where his answer to every question was "oil."

it's kind of crazy that there's even any question that democrats are going to do anything about this

If you’re a Democrat in Congress and this isn’t it your message — if you’re not taking steps right the fuck now to act on this imperative — then the best thing you can do for your country is resign and make way for people who understand what it takes to rise in opposition to authoritarianism.

The fatal flaw of framing our fight in "rule of law" terms is that the ruler has always decided what is and isn't law. Our demand must be for freedom and equal justice under law.

The regime’s saber rattling puts the lives of American troops and Latin American civilians at risk all so MAGA billionaires can hoard resources, expand their control, and line their own pockets. This is an old playbook at work 1/5

Bombing another country and kidnapping its leader would also be wrong with Congressional approval. The outrage, and call for impeachment, should be over the evil and illegal outcome not merely the failure to follow the prescribed process.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it, and those who can remember the past are like, what the hell, man?

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Notice what they’re doing: Blur law into vibes, collapse jurisdiction into moral authority, and dare you to argue facts while they assert power. Vance isn’t confused. He’s modeling a world where force replaces process and authoritarian narrative reshapes reality.

Donald Trump has multiple indictments in the United States for crimes against the US government. And also pardoned top drug dealers.

Pro-Trump billionaires like Musk and Ellison didn’t buy media outlets to maximize the company’s profits. They bought media companies to maximize their power—and minimize the opposition’s ability to disseminate the truth.

Any media outlet whose diagnosis of what's wrong with corporate media is *this* is about to deliver dogshit coverage the likes of which we've never seen Corporate media lost its way due to cowardice, profit motive, anti-intellectualism, and confusing neutrality with objectivity

Mamdani has only been Mayor for a day & criminals are already fleeing New York

They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration. It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.

Fuck 2025 and the fascists it rode in on.

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

This is right. You can’t earn this kind of money. You can only steal it.

the thing is, “differing political views” used to be about what percentage to tax high earners and not whether brown people are humans

"Trump will live forever, but only as a cautionary tale, one we tell successive generations to demonstrate that sustaining a democracy against the corrupt and the malevolent requires vigilance and determination." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

What if EVERYONE did this?

The opening of a land war by Trump in Venezuela is headlines this afternoon in the London tabloids. In US media, it's eerily absent.

In 2026, let’s stop asking how a VP who has biracial kids and is married to a child of Indian immigrants could consider immigrants of color to be destroying the US. As a conspiracy theory, great replacement theory isn’t supposed to make sense. It’s supposed to drum up support for authoritarianism.

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

What to get the billionaire in your life who has everything 🎁

Merry Christmas and friendly reminder that Jesus was a brown, woke, anti-capitalist refugee from the Middle East who had two dads, became a rabbi, wore flowing dresses, ran around with sex workers, preached radical inclusion, railed against income inequality, and was brutally killed by the police.

Or you might call them "camps" where people are to be "concentrated" until they are deported. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

What’s great about the rise of fascism in America is that it’s totally replaced my fears about a new nuclear arms race. Why worry about the future when I can focus on how bad right now is? Very present, very mindful.

Genuinely sickening to watch tonight’s Kennedy Center Honors. Art embodies imagination, humanity, and moral courage — the antithesis of fascism. That’s why so many artists reject MAGA, and why the regime seizes cultural institutions to cosplay a legitimacy it will never be freely granted.

“What goes too long unchanged destroys itself. The forest is forever because it dies and dies and so lives.” —Ursula K. Le Guin

It was never about illegal immigration: “Officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.”

Can’t believe it’s already December. Time flies when you’re having fascism. 🫠
