Arizona gets more sun than almost anywhere in America. We should be the solar energy capital. Renewable energy like solar means lower energy bills and more good-paying jobs, but Trump is gutting these investments.

Dave Smith: "It's so devastating for the Trump administration…The Justice Department and the White House just fucking lied through their goddamn teeth."

Russia’s full-scale invasion began 4 years ago. It began in winter, and so this winter is the 5th. And, for civilians, the worst. Russia launches missiles and drones at energy infrastructure to force Ukrainians to endure the freezing cold. Here's how you can help snyder.substack.com/p/the-long-u...

In a functioning democracy, every killing by an agent of the state is investigated no matter the circumstances.

A Trump loyalist took over the Minnesota office, and doubled down on the loyalist abuse of the law, trying to investigate Renee Good and her wife rather than the person who killed her. At this point, career civil servants left, and were immediately labeled "deep state" by the Attorney general.

This creates an environment where people like Greg Bovino rise, and say things like “We’re going to put it down" about the demonstrations. No fear of real accountability, no sense of duty or obligation to the public. He assumes the King will protect him.

A while back, I wrote about the deprofessionalization of the FBI. Christian Gläßel and @ascharpf.bsky.social study how authoritarians build loyal security forces. They pointed to a sense of impunity being a key factor. That is what we are seeing now. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/how-the-fb...

Kash Patel, a podcaster selected because of his fierce loyalty to the President, told FBI agents not to investigate the details on Renee Good's shooting because it would contradict the President. Fact matter less than the King's opinion in a personalist regime.

You should read this. It is the type of detail that experts in authoritarian regimes see as telling. In this case, state agents are offered impunity from higher ups, and the legal system is rendered inoperative as a mode of accountability. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

I know that because I'm a physician, I have a heightened reaction to a story like this. But seriously, y'all, this is a big deal. 83 people died, mostly kids under 5, as a result of RFK Jr's antivax messaging with Samoan public health officials. And he lied about it, under oath, to Congress.

The existence of pro choice republicans does not make the GOP pro choice. The “anti-woke” movement is now in power and free speech, academic freedom, due process and historical memory are under state sponsored assault. You saying “but i was just annoyed by pronouns in email sigs” doesn’t change that

Trump lives every day like an authoritarian dictator who goes to his own golden resort every weekend and uses his position to line his pockets. Sounds like Putin. This will require an all of America response to stop.

America is being ruined by some real evil pieces of shit

The Trumm administration is doing everything I can to have one party rule established permanently in the United States. That’s called dictatorship.

The Trump republican administration is clearly aligned with Russia. They are working deals with Russia to carve up Ukraine, one of our allies. America is a danger to the world right now.

Holy moly. Here we have what Russia calls their girlfriend in charge of national security hiding a complaint for months and then redacting it to hide something. Her history alone makes her unqualified. These are definitely dangerous times. What is wrong with Tom Cotton? this breach goes right to WH

You know just how bad things are when Trump republican administration, suppresses investigation of murder

"The 'joke' that Trump’s account spread is plainly sinister. The idea that Black people sit somewhere between white people and apes has long been used to justify cruelty." Gift link. Short and devastating.

Trump wants absolute total control over everything. Republicans don’t even dare open their mouths. He uses the power of the presidency to control individual billionaires for deals. Putin was in the Epstein files. Putin uses Trump to destroy us. Presidents fingers in everything isn’t American.

Why is that US Media? Trump is in there the most! He is being lifted higher up on his throne and delivered our Democracy and treasury on a silver platter. You suck at your jobs! ‘Epstein revelations have toppled top figures in Europe while US fallout is more muted’ abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

Wow, you have to be proud of the prosecutors who left their jobs rather than do the bidding of an authoritarian government

"It's more soccer moms than hardcore activists, they said. But the challenging conditions have brought them closer together. After knowing each other for just weeks, they feel like they’d give their lives to protect one another if necessary..." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

"the most flagrant display of presidential racism since Woodrow Wilson screened D.W. Griffith’s 'The Birth of a Nation' in the White House in 1915"

The Trump Republicans do not want any dissent even amongst themselves. It is what Trump says, or you are silenced. Praying people will vote for Massie because he has shown himself to work for his people not one man.

Not how the rule of law works. Precisely the opposite, in fact.

Trump must be stopped. The mental health of the country requires that Trump Republicans be stopped.

There are lots of important books about concentration camps; two that I have used in my own teaching are "KL" by Nikolaus Wachsmann and "Illness and Inhumanity in Stalin’s Gulag" by Golfo Alexopoulos.

The horrors of the Trump Republican administration, and these concentration camps need to be stopped. May God bless America with a huge course correction soon

Of 3800 children & infants taken into immigration custody Jan-Oct 2025, 2600 were detained by ICE officers. Those kids weren't arrested at the border. They weren't new arrivals seeking help. They were kids going about their daily lives here—often with legal status. The GOP *owns* this horror.

This is so sick. We must vote democratic in the midterms in record numbers to stop this corruption and authoritarianism.

The #EpsteinAndTrump stench is everywhere.. across the globe. #TrumpFail

Charges must be filed and ice agents held accountable. This could happen to anyone of us.

The federal government is stealing our neighbors and then slandering them, telling us our neighbors are dangerous criminals. They hate our neighbors because our neighbors aren't white and they want to cleanse the country of them, and then the monsters don't even have the guts to be honest about it.

This was my first experience: I printed a few hundred for a protest in November and they were gone in 15 minutes. Anyway! If you want to give it a try -- linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Nothing but lies:

“…a lawyer for the man was told Friday morning that Abreu would need a doctor’s note to be able to access the anti-rejection medication vital to his transplant.”

Just something deeply wrong when a government cannot follow processes and values that most human beings would deem minimally acceptable.

The narcissist has to put his name on everything. It’s just sick.

“He fought Donald Trump and won” — @keithedwards.bsky.social on this week’s Prop 50 victory at the U.S. Supreme Court

Today, a federal judge in Oregon issued a temporary restraining order against DHS strictly limiting when and how they can deploy chemical irritants and 'less lethal' weapons. This comes after DHS used gas and flash bangs against a large but entirely peaceful protest.
