Frankly, I expected better from a FIFA Peace prize winner

The true loser of this SC decision is, of course, Iran

Grateful I voted for him.

Wisdom! Absolutely inconceivable. We need leaders made of the right stuff who have the courage to do the right thing, even at great personal expense & take this amoral administration down the right way, the constitutional way. Our founders did not fail us. We have constitutionally authorized ways.

I don't know if ya'll remember or not but this is what rational thought and sanity looks like. As Charlie Sykes says, "We are not the crazy ones!"

I don't participate in social media to gain followers or clicks so my reach is incredibly small, which in this instance is a pity. Magnificent article which finally helps explain what has happened. How bible verse memorizing kids could grow up to think torture prisons for aliens is a good idea.

It can be done! We don’t have to be bought if the opposition is has squandered their moral authority.

In case you hadn't read or heard the whole Carney speech. Don't you wish our GOP elected officials in the US sounded as intellectually intact and therefore as powerful as this guy? Instead our leader sounds like a cross between a mafia thug and a baby.

At this point, we need the felon to wander into traffic without pants. That would maybe be the only thing that gets Congress or the Cabinet to remove him. 🤦‍♂️

History will likely teach the US had more to lose by abandoning our European allies than it ever had to gain from Donald Trump

I was never very fond of the your God is not my God theological arguments but in the end I have come to realize they make a lot of sense. Excellent article capturing the point.

"That a white woman can be killed on camera, with impunity, and be demeaned and ridiculed in her death for standing up for her neighbors shows just how far down the road of violence the nation has gone." #PrayForAmerica www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"If Hitler came back to see this group of mixed race young gay men chanting his name he would immediately kill himself a second time," wrote Drew Pavlou, an independent journalist w/ more than 219,000 followers on X, in a social media post Sunday. Clearly Sister DeLourdes didn't teach them history.

"If they had the numbers, they could just vote. They don’t have the numbers. That’s why they’re destroying democracy. Because democracy counts. And when you count, they lose. This is why they’re desperate. This is why the violence is escalating." www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/there-are-...

"Acquire the Spirit of Peace and a thousand souls around you will be saved" St. Seraphim of Sarov No more than ever!

OK, are the writers for Jimmy Kimmell the same guys running Newsom's social media feeds because Newsom's social media posts are magnificent!

I have thought for quite some time that the Government's strategy is mainly 'don't upset Trump or that guy who runs X'.

In a nutshell.

If you are not listening to David Frum you are missing out on some excellent, reasoned analysis. Even if you don’t always agree, your brain will appreciate the exercise.

If after we blow your boat up you still float, you are a witch, so we can kill you. If you drown you are not a witch.

When will MAGA learn they think you are stupid? I get the elitism we abhorred, but here it is again coming from the other side and the other side does elitism much better. They are saying you can't do math AND generics are good enough for you.

Ultra-rich media owners are tightening their grip on democracy. It’s time to wrest our power back https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/nov/13/trump-media-ultra-rich-democracy

Despicable open.substack.com/pub/steady/p... Great read from Dan Rather: "...The very existence of a free press is a threat to this president’s modus operandi, which is to govern by lying. Why would he want people around him who ask for facts and truthful answers?..." #BlueCrew #MisogynistInChief

Terrific

the Democratic Party should have 2 major goals for the next time it holds power: (1) completely rebuild the destroyed federal government capacity, and (2) crush the GOP, which enabled so much corruption and immiseration. destroy their funding, jail their leaders, make it so a new party has to emerge

I love it when two of my favorite podcasters get together. This time it was David Frum and Sarah Longwell. I can't say enough good things about these two. Listen, enjoy and feed your brain.

Way back when he was doing the Apprentice my initial reaction was "what a terrible manager he is". I lost interest in the show almost immediately because of this. Had the show been what not to do as a manager, that might have changed things for me. Here he proves my point AGAIN.

If I were a NY voter, I'd remember that Elise Stefanik consciously remade herself as super-Trumpy when that's the way the wind blew. Personally, I'd elect a governor w a solid core.

Sometimes GOP press conferences… resemble videos where hostages vainly try to send coded messages for help.

I have so many Bulwark favorites and Will Saletan is near the top of the list.

My NYT daily email: "Democrats, furious about President Trump’s remaking of American government and society, turned out in extraordinary numbers for an off-year election to sweep virtually every competitive race." They need better political analysis. Some of those votes were not made by Democrats.

"The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others." May we become a good and decent society.

Great wealth does not equal wisdom. Stop treating monied people like their opinions are of more value than learned people.

Generally attributed to Churchill re: the Greeks, "Hence, we will not say that Greeks fight like heroes, but that heroes fight like Greeks!" For all the Greeks celebrating Όχι Day, today. ζήτω η Ελλάδα! Your example is an inspiration to the rest of us.

Maybe repeating but here’s the entire video that manbaby was upset about

Trump is a failing authoritarian whose approval ratings are tanking. Like any bully, when he feels humiliated, he lashes out. But what he doesn’t realize is that his authoritarianism and his bullying are waking up America’s great sleeping giant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXHPCL12QIg

SO MANY GREAT posters and costumes for No Kings but this is my absolutely favorite!

This an awesome music video by scaredketchup. He has produce some of the greatest videos monking the Regime. Please support his work! youtube.com/watch?v=8w3o...

This is brilliant! Great to see Kermit the Frog hopping back into action :) youtu.be/bw5zxdSObso?...

"...the farthest left, the hardest core..." Me, looking around at all the grandmas at the protest: yeah dude

Schrödinger’s Plenary Authority

Who will be our present day Deep Throat? Secrets are difficult to keep. Eventually enough evidence will be gathered and the regime will fall. (Nothing specific. Just enjoying “All the Presidents’ Men” again and hoping.)

The data doesn’t lie.
