Nobel Peace Prizes: President Obama: 1 Donald Trump: 0

I guess they called him out: Democracy is a precondition for lasting peace. However, we live in a world where democracy is in retreat, where more and more authoritarian regimes are challenging norms and resorting to violence. Https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2025/press-release/

How much longer can they deny it? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Yep, by a factor of like 1 million or whatever bluevirginia.us/2025/09/tues...

Thousands of new jobs. Medicaid expansion. Medical debt relief. Improved public education. Revitalized rural communities. These are just a few of Roy Cooper's accomplishments for North Carolina. Imagine what he can do in the U.S. Senate. Elect Democrat Roy Cooper U.S. Senate, North Carolina

On this we agree wholeheartedly.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

Every day, most times multiple times a day, this is exactly what I wonder.

I know we say “Everything is bigger in Texas,” but this is, in fact, bigger than Texas. This is nothing but a power grab, and it will ultimately impact all of us.

Good morning 🌞

This is what is happening right now.

More of this, please.

We are going to have the fun thing happen again where a dozen cisgender female athletes discover they have Y chromosomes.

South Park nailed it back in 2019: ICE threw Kyle in a detention center—until they found out he was Jewish. Suddenly, that might look racist. Locking up Latino kids in cages? That’s fine. But a white kid? Now it’s a PR problem. Satire? Sure. But also…America. For now. The Jews will be next.

USAID didn’t fail. It fed 127,000 kids—then was erased mid-crisis. No speech. No tribute. Just silence. They didn’t end a program. They liquidated a covenant. The last American promise not built on conquest—but care. 🔗 thelastmilewithusaid.substack.com

On the edge of a panic attack breath in breath out is there enough oxygen I’m starting to have doubt tumultuous times has me tumbling in free fall nervous anxiety is it gripping us all? clutching for calm in a sea of misery emotional trauma just feeds into his victory #cOc

There are just too many shitty things happening all at once.

With ICE's *enormous* new budget and its ability to hire *many* more agents, the United States is about to enter an era of brutal domestic terrorism that we've never seen before.

Lawrence O’Donnell always does such an excellent job of demonstrating just how ignorant Donald Trump is.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 109 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.
