If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country? There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

Swalwell: He couldn't run a casino, and now he's going to run a country in South America while he fails to run a country in North America?

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Trump posts footage of the Maduro raid set to "Fortunate Son" -- a protest song about the Vietnam War draft

Thank you to all the performers who are canceling their events at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

He is a bully & a predator, openly - without shame. That’s who he is when the lights are on. Now imagine who he is in private, away from applause, scrutiny, & spectacle. It’s past time to strip the myth. Expose the weakness, the insecurity, the smallness this weak old man works so hard to hide.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

If the Epstein files have proven anything, it’s that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as it was built to do: to shield the rich and powerful from accountability while victims are buried, ignored, or silenced.

Please step up and do the right thing. This vile man raped and molested children. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? 👇👇👇

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

Anyone who thought Trump wasn’t going to bomb people on Christmas Day hasn’t been paying attention.

WTF. He bombed Nigeria? This is unreal.

It might get me labeled as a Crazy Bluesky Radical, but I don’t think it’s great that our nuclear arsenal is at the disposal of a demented old man who’s just an exposed nerve of grievances and hatreds with absolutely no impulse control.

WHO AMONG US hasn't sat down 11 times with a journalist and a tape recorder only to be shocked that they'd publish stuff we talked about?

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat. The claim collapsed because it’s a cover. Check my latest… open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

Measles didn’t make a comeback on its own. This is RFK Jr’s anti-vax movement and his disinformation campaign. And equally as disturbing, some people are perfectly fine with this outcome.

Amazing!! Women Help Women (womenhelp.org) is manufacturing their own abortion pills in order to make abortion safer, simpler and more accessible across borders. They designed an eco-friendly combi-pack that's easier to mail discreetly and centred around women’s experiences and needs.

I am often asked what laws I would recommend blue states adopt. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are seven changes every state could adopt right now, for virtually no cost or administrative burden. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/seve...

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

Omg no www.tmz.com/2025/12/14/r...

"Every lockdown drill is a confession of failure. Every barricaded classroom is an indictment. Every child taught to hide is proof that the adults in charge have surrendered."

Sorry guys, I know I’ve been quiet this week, but I’ve been recovering from shaking too many hands

A good reminder that because I'm not a conservative commentator, no one will pay me $150m. No major network is making me the editor in chief. I am just a lawyer who fights for democracy and built Democracy Docket from scratch. For $10 a month you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Stop accepting the cynical notion that “nothing can be done” about guns, or anything else for that matter. Every time you give up hope, the emperor has already won.

This is because Nate Silver has 300K subscribers on Substack and Heather Cox Richardson has 2.7M. Mediocre men CAN'T STAND successful women, and even blame them for their own failures. Pathetic.

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke!

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

Just when I thought I couldn't admire the man more... 🎯 🎯 🎯 💯 💯 💯 👍 👍 👍

Perplexity is perplexed 🤔 Since Noem’s remark, no federal indictments, press releases, or credible reports have surfaced identifying such a woman, any “founder of Antifa,” or a related prosecution in Portland matching her description.

Kristi Noem claimed a few months ago that they arrested the girlfriend of the leader of Antifa and that was going to lead to the prosecution of the entire “organization.” What happened with that? Any updates?

Well, this isn't too obvious huh?

Elections have consequences. A man like this never belonged near the levers of power. Not the first time. And certainly not this second time when everything was knowable. We are trapped in a tragedy and must fight our way out.

Trumplethinskin creates his own version of reality & then expects us to believe it as if we don't have eyes, ears or functioning brains. #SAD 🤣

The so-called “war” with Venezuela was supposedly about stopping drugs… yet they’re out there seizing an oil tanker.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control. All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Rewatched some Star Trek tonight. Still wild how a show about warp drives and weird nebulae ends up teaching the cleanest lessons about being human. Every episode says the same thing in its own way: ‘Be curious. Be brave. …Try not to fire phasers unless you really have to.”

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

You think it can’t happen to you? Think again.

More GOP resignations. More racism from Trump.

"I used to think that the defining fight for our country was between the left and the right. Now, I am much more worried about the money at the top crushing everyone underneath." I continue to be an @bedoyausa.bsky.social fangirl. newrepublic.com/article/2011...

It’s all just so gross. So stupid. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
