Bill Browder to Bartiromo: "This is like war reparations from Ukraine, who's the victim. Russia should be handing over their natural resources for all the money we've spent, not Ukraine. Ukraine needs to rebuild, they need to defend themselves. To punish Ukraine is a highly unsympathetic position."

I can think of at least eight federal laws that have been broken by Musk and his goons over the last few days, and at least two provisions of the U.S. Constitution. They must be stopped. Some thoughts: robertreich.substack.com/p/how-the-mu...

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

Don't let Trump spin you, he backed down on the Mexican tariffs when the market dropped out, GOP electeds finding a backbone to complain, and the WSJ calling it the "dumbest trade war in history". Trump blinked and embarrassed himself plain and simple.

I asked Elon’s Grok 2 the question of whether and how you could destroy the country through insane trade wars and hijacking Treasury’s payment system. And I must say, what I got back seems to be a fairly good analysis.

One of the first bills introduced in the North Carolina state legislature this year is a proposal by a handful of far-right gun crazies to exempt shooting ranges from any and all city/county rules and ordinances.

I’d like to see them try and take off my wedding ring.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

5 years of Netflix US profit: $15.1 Billion 5 years of Netflix exec pay: $652M 5 years of taxes paid by Netflix: $236M In a 5-year span after Trump's tax cuts, Netflix paid top execs 3x what it paid in federal income tax. Yesterday, Netflix announced it was raising prices again.

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Keep saying it!

This guy won the popular vote. That’s why I say America deserves everything we get.

New in PN: How TikTok is burnishing Trump's strongman image "TikTok isn’t alone in its decision to grovel directly to Trump. The big social media platforms — X, Meta, and now TikTok — have all shown that they plan to survive by doing whatever he wants."

Some ideas about how to resist creeping authoritarianism: - find joy in your community - engage in mutual aid - be sure to get enough sleep, water, and calories - move your body in ways that please you - support independent media and artists (and make your own!) - use cynicism sparingly - pets

Today marks the beginning of a long four years for our country, but we won’t stop fighting. America is bigger than one man, or one presidency. Our future is still in our hands. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IE5...
