People think tyrants rage because they're strong. But the truth is they only rage when they know the room will absorb it. Mamdani didn't absorb it. So Trump didn't rage. Fear is the oxygen of authoritarianism. Take it away, and even a strongman starts to sound like a man. ~ Bruce Fanger ~

I’ve written something on John Collison’s Op-Ed and environmental democracy Next time you’re out in Dublin, check if you’re being “socially de-risked” by a friendly face from his think-tank elajucd.com/2025/11/21/o...

Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.

#SussexSquad Objectively, of course, Meghan is beautiful. But the world (and Hollywood!) is full of beautiful women. Yet even among the beautiful people, Meghan stands out as The Beautiful Person. Psychology has an answer as to why.

WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “Reframing the Epstein files as a Democratic hoax is not gonna work… he has a -39 approval on handling the Epstein files… why did he want the files to not come out this badly? Why? Just tell me why?”

Past is prologue. In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests. And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now. This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

@schumer.senate.gov — Everyone said, hold the line on the Govt funding for the subsidies, and you whipped 8 Dem votes from reps who weren’t up for reelection anyway— The failure is yours - we need new leadership

The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.

CNN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files? CHRIS MURPHY: So what?

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

I stand with Mary Bruce 😘….

I couldn’t wait for #AltTacoTunesday to share this link to Jesse Welles performing his song “Join ICE” on Colbert especially after spotting this ICE add on LinkedIn yesterday. Signing bonuses, & that big, huh? Just last week we couldn’t pay SNAP benefits. 🤔 youtu.be/61I4hlig78w?...

The House is voting today on two bills that will put hard-fought reforms to DC’s justice system in the crosshairs. But what happens in DC doesn’t stay here. When it’s DC today, it’s always America tomorrow. We can stop it right here, right now. #FreeDC

#LanguageMatters ⚖️ The uptick of people using pigs as an insult the last couple of days is disheartening. What may seem like a fair rebuttal to a vile man only serves to insidiously reinforce the idea that these intelligent, empathetic individuals are lesser than. A commodity, an ingredient, a slur.

A panel that recommends how much Colorado covers Medicaid costs presented a plan to lawmakers Tuesday that is vastly different, and more expensive, than the one the governor’s office wants to see implemented, leaving lawmakers to question the role of that panel overall. By @sarawilson.bsky.social

Home insurance is in crisis, and Big Oil's lies are to blame. "We’re never going to bend the curve of ever-rising insurance costs without addressing the core driver of higher prices: the worsening climate disasters that Big Oil knowingly made a reality," explains CCI's @iylas.bsky.social.
