"The second Trump revolution, like the first, is failing. {...} It is failing because its true mission, which neither it nor (still less) its supporters understand, is still as far beyond its reach as algebra is beyond a cat." www.thenerdreich.com/panicked-cur...

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent. Will you? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-re...

A British academic is tracking the Dictator in the WH’s authoritarian acts since taking office in Jan. It tracks illegalities, unconst’l acts, abuses of power - anything undermining democracy & propping up authoritarianism. Tally is at 1466 authoritarian acts. 🆘🇺🇸 www.trumpactiontracker.info?

@gtconway.bsky.social @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @rbreich.bsky.social 47 is at nearly 1500 illegalities, unconstitutional acts, and abuses of power. When will our Congress hold him accountable? B/c the American people are on the edge of justifiable homocide.

I try to write with intent and purpose. This is focused on some things I did for a friend who was mostly my polar opposite especially politically. I chose the the human road, because I believe that I can and should. Please share this if it resonates with you. 🙏 open.substack.com/pub/oneveter...

Just in case someone missed this detail: Wells Fargo used the ICE orks to clear out a building of lawful residents to make a buck Again, a military terror purge was carried out with naked children in handcuffs for the benefit of Wells Fargo execs A corrupt corp that will bleat at any reciprocity

Wells Fargo is next-level evil.

illusion that we are fighting for a democracy, when the reality is that America is not a democracy, it’s a plutocratic oligarchy ruled by billionaires….and that the US, year after year, is viewed in international polls as by far the most violent and dangerous nation on earth,

There aren’t really that many patriots in America. People wave flags and say “God Bless America”, but at the end of the day, they are WAY more loyal to their state, their county, their group than the country at large. What started as individual freedoms eventually turned

This clear scale shows how American democracy is in terminal decline www.rawstory.com/american-dem...

Whether you like it or not, this is our painful truth in America.

Ex parte Milligan & Limits of Martial Law @stevevladeck.bsky.social Although it was later narrowed, the Supreme Court's 1866 repudiation of Civil War-era military commissions remains a bulwark against military authority wherever civilian courts are functioning www.stevevladeck.com/p/111-ex-par...

Miles was chief of staff at DHS in Trump’s first term 👇🏽

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Is there anyone else out there who thinks we should get together and file a class action lawsuit suit against Trump for mental anguish? I don’t know about any of you but I can’t remember any other time I’ve ever felt this much anguish and hopelessness about my country. #TrumpClassActionSuit

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

“[T]his is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law,” Immergut wrote. The administration has “made a range of arguments that, if accepted, risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power—to the detriment of this nation.” open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words. The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Even RepMTG knows it’s a Republican Shutdown. LeaderJohnThune can invoke nuclear option and pass CR with simple majority. Why won’t he? Trump wants the shutdown.

Even Grok knows the truth and is shouting it in ALL CAPS.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

What a woman! I'll always remember this heartwarming goodbye hug when she brought the chimp back to his home in the jungle. May you rest in peace, Jane Goodall 💔 #RIPjaneGoodall

To all my fellow non-hetero friends: We're next. If you thought silence would protect you while non-cis people were being targeted, then you don't know our history. Fight for your trans family and friends. They need it. One day, we will, too.

📌 Wisdom drop. But, don’t give up on being kind and humble. Hate bogs people down with their piggy banks of memories not involving you. Being vulnerable and open is a calculated risk in 2025. I will not lose myself in the rampant rage surrounding us.

once again when i posted this 8 years ago IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE

for what it's worth, i think kotek has been a *very* middling governor, but if she *did* successfully talk him down, it's a tribute to the long stretch of time she spent as the longest-running speaker of the oregon house, she would be much better suited to the house or senate

We have to stop dehumanizing ICE agents while they are doing their important job of dehumanizing us

South Africa's president lays waste to the U.S. and Israel in his U.N. speech. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3Bu...

They are nothing if you take away their hypocrisy

This is the secret the Trump regime tried so hard to keep about the Dallas ICE shooting The names of the dead and wounded Jose Andres Bordones-Molina Miguel Ángel García-Hernandez Norlan Guzman-Fuentes Fight Trump's dehumanization. Say their names. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/dall...

Listen and re-post, ad infinitum.

This is much, much more significant than the Comey indictment but has gotten like 0.1% of the media coverage

“They’re, they’re animals anyway. That’s what I would tell my kids all the time,” said the ICE agent, according to body cam footage. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

This is so beautiful. The heart of a liberal should be the rule, not the exception. Thank you, Tom.

The president does not know my name, of course. I am one of millions, a faceless liberal enemy in his vast taxonomy of resentment. Yet somehow this feels more personal than it should.We represent everything he cannot buy, cannot own, cannot control: conscience itself. Please read my new article

Jack Ciattarelli’s campaign got their hands on Mikie Sherrill’s unredacted military records illegally. She has nothing to hide, but that’s not the point. If they’ll violate a Navy vet & Congresswoman’s privacy, NO ONE is safe from their dirty tricks. #VoteNJ #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

This made me get emotional, coz it's true! We cannot have fear, we have to vote. We have to stand up and fight this crazy administration, that's trying to kill us. I, too, am broken with how our country is being treated.😭🙏🏼💔 I'm keeping the faith. Let's do this!?

Trump blames Democrats for “violence” while unleashing untrained thugs who drop their guns, aim at bystanders for filming, and terrorize immigrants just trying to work. These Gestapo tactics must end. This was in Maryland.
