Trump has gone completely mad. We have to force this conversation.

Not according to the Virginia State Bar directory

Important thing to know: Grand juries only hear one side of the story. The defense doesn’t cross examine witnesses or present a case. Good prosecutors are committed to the truth & doing justice. They don’t indict cases when the defendant can contradict their case.

Both Dr Charles and myself have shifted the central focus of our individual psychotherapy practices toward non-clinical community building and community group work. We want to help others get started! Two 90 minute discussions For anyone who thinks they *should* but just isn’t.

It’s so depressing watching the dumbest people in America drive this country into a ditch …. Again

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Trump is absolutely cratering in new Quinnipiac poll: Overall approval: 38-54 Approval on economy: 39-56 Approval on trade: 39-54 On National Guard into cities: 42-55 On immigration, his "best" issue: 41-55 Trump is weak, unpopular, and failing. Treat him that way:

My husband told me I’m possibly not emotionally ready to read this essay yet, because it echoes so much of what we went through this year. But maybe you can.

Slow Horses! 🐎

"The goal, it seems, is to cripple the agency with both direct and indirect blows. The result, if the administration succeeds, will be a diminished Forest Service that would be unrecognizable to Gifford Pinchot." - @landdesk.bsky.social on the Forest Service under Trump: www.hcn.org/articles/tru...

UCLA’s funds reinstated after yesterday’s court order! Thanks to the brave researchers and their amazing counsel, including Dean Chemerinsky, who brought suit. This is just another turn in the ongoing fight, but a great result for now.

The worst thing we can do at this moment is be cynical.

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

Proud to represent @karenattiah.bsky.social in her fight against the Washington Post

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Right now there are multiple and frankly nefarious systems- oligarch owned media companies, social media algorithms, advertising, propagandists trying to manipulate you emotional response to their advantage. Be more curious about your the function of your emotions than they are Meet your unknown

The first new space is the Salam Kitchen (Arabic for peace) in Deir al-Balah. Alongside our existing Deir al-Balah Kitchen, it will greatly expand our reach in the area. In Mawasi, construction is underway on the Hayat Kitchen (Arabic for life)—the largest kitchen WCK has ever built in Gaza. (2/3)

WCK is taking a major step forward in Gaza - we’re building 2 new large-capacity kitchens that will nearly double daily meal production. More kitchen capacity is critical to move us closer to serving one million hot meals to families every day. (1/3)

As I was saying…

The Kimmel monologue was 18 minutes of extraordinary, raw television that will be hated by the people who wanted him off the air for good. Trump and Brendan Carr lost this one as badly as it's possible to lose.

RESULT: Adelita Grijalva is heading to Congress. The Democrat has won the #AZ07 special election very easily, and she will replace her father Raúl Grijalva. AP just called it. Among other things, Grijalva is expected to be the 218th person to sign the Epstein discharge position.

We shall see if one of the most unpopular presidents in American history who is presiding over an economy he’s trying to wreck and the poisoning of our diplomatic relations can consolidate a dictatorship. I’m pretty skeptical he has the juice, especially in his decayed state.

In a sane world, there’d be a family intervention and deployment of the 25th amendment.

Dear Ds in CA, NJ and VA - please vote on Day 1, or as early as you. When you vote early your names comes off GOTV rolls for the campaigns allowing them to move on to lower propensity voters, which increases D turnout and makes it more likely we win. Voting early = another way to help us win.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Referencing mythology, it’s called the Galatea complex.

I got raptured, but they have wifi here.

If you’re not watching Trump’s UN speech, we can sum it up for you: “Me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me…”

I don’t think I’ve ever seen America so embarrassed in front of the entire world.

Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are asking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for answers after more than a dozen people died in immigration detention, as the department rushes to expand.

I have an essay on signs of millenarianism in our culture in my POP MYTHOLOGY essay collection. The unusual use of certain calendars allow for these “events” outside of a traditional millenarianism timetable. There are *many* examples in US history of promoted apocalyptic dates that never arrive.

Still here.

Tylenol use is safe in pregnancy, lowest effective dose. Don’t listen to the utter nonsense emanating from the highest office in the land today. Speak to your medical provider.

Hope so!

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered Trump to restore $500 million in frozen UCLA NIH grants. The same judge, Rita F. Lin, previously ordered all UCLA NSF grants reinstated. Lin has now nearly entirely reversed Trump's July de-funding of UCLA research: www.latimes.com/california/s...

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Jimmy Kimmel will return to TV after highly criticized suspension

I don’t know how we are ever going to be able to repent for this as a nation — but we owe it to ourselves to think creatively now about what re-engaging the world in a way they will believe actually looks like

“L’enfer c’est les autres.”

This guy is ruining so many lives and breaking up families, accusing people who overstayed visas of being criminals and shipping them off to foreign prisons. Turns out he's a shabby crook who's done much worse. Disgusting.
