Good way to greet the morning: Trump in rapid decline and Tom Petty in your head. #NoFascistUSA

Pam Bondi (who just got done committing a felony by lying to Congress) now wants to make sure she--and any DOJ attorney she deems worthy--is sky-high above the law. They're soliciting (cuz they have to) public comment. See 1st comment for a link to the page!

Trump has fully shattered the world we all grew up in. It’s a dramatic break from how things worked before, even compared to the Iraq War and other misadventures - the United States abruptly tumbling over a cliff and becoming literally more reckless and domineering than Putin’s Russia.

I think our country sinks beneath the yoke: It weeps, it bleeds, and each new day a gash Is added to her wounds.

All wars are fought for two reasons: land and resources. This has nothing to do with WMDs, they want their minerals.

This is a pretty good analogy.

Texas is close to not being a functioning democracy It’s the hardest place to vote because Republicans have put impediments in place based on totally bogus vote fraud concerns - that they just make up The courts have become complicit in this effort What we’re seeing in Texas now is a disgrace

“[Dems] can go much harder = evergreen. Rs letting Trump be king don’t want an authorization vote otr. “It's precisely bc Trump has no…articulated objectives for this war—and bc American officials privately admit his Iran claims are false—that he's launching it illegally w/o cong. authorization.”

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

Important piece by @timothysnyder.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Brilliant article by @parkermolloy.com via @damemagazine.bsky.social. The antidote is the also brilliant @hcrichardson.bsky.social and her daily Letters from an American. If you can only read one thing a day to keep sane, her letter synthesizes what’s happening, not just what happened.

We are living under the dumbest fucking dictator that has ever existed and I know that’s daunting and upsetting but let’s just take a little solace in that fact as we seek to overthrow these fascists.

Wow. #IllegalWar #ImpeachTrump #WarPOTUS

So, so instructive to compare media response to Afghanistan withdrawal -- months of hysterical garment-rending & catastrophizing, relentless criticism of the admin -- with the response to an unprovoked, unmotivated, illegal war of aggression, ie, "some critics say maybe Trump should have reasons."

Easy action here, folks—and the points made by Indivisible are brilliantly articulated. Please, though, add your own comments at the end. #IllegalWar #ImpeachTrump

Academy Museum's screening every Kurosawa movie this spring 🚨

30 years. This video should be on every network.

#IllegalWar #ImpeachTrump

Great—as always—thread on Trump’s pretend war and its dangerous implications. @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social MUST forego their standard, knee jerk stand-with-Israel-no-matter-what and oppose this war of political convenience with everything they’ve got. #IllegalWar #NoFascistUSA

All the pundits do not get it. Trump, Vance, Miller—ALL Repubs—do not care a whit about being hypocrites. They cannot be shamed or kowtowed w/that label. They relish being so powerful they can lie w/impunity. Attack on fiscal & human costs, weakened world position, and fascist (unpopular) policies.

THIS.

He's no longer fascist. He's not that disciplined. He's Godzilla with a cadre of winged monkeys tearing up the world. How anyone thought he was better than the nice Black lady is beyond comprehension.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

this is a great brief and it appropriately ends with a killshot: the simple observation that if trump's meaning held, the birthright clause would not have overturned dred scott, the one thing it was absolutely meant to do.

In the last 2 months Trump kidnapped the president of Venezuela (declaring himself new ruler), we continue to murder innocent sailors in Caribbean (and Pacific), we have threatened (and failed) military action against Denmark, but now Trump wants US to know war with Iran is urgent.

Good 🧵on the DOJ cover-up. It also highlights the excellent reporting done by multiple fact-based news outlets on this important story.

After NPR reporting revealed dozens of pages of Epstein files related to President Trump appear to be missing from the public record, a top House Democrat wants to know why. n.pr/40AIirr

For those innocents who thought we were throwing around the descriptor “Gestapo” too brazenly #NoFascistUSA

Definitely the first State of the Union where the president talked about the military killing unarmed fishermen as a laugh line

Rep. Al Green was holding a sign that reads "Black People Aren't Apes" at the #SOTU:

I have spoken to two people now who have told me that only part of their FBI interviews are in the released files, and the parts of their interviews that are missing include mentions of Trump. 1/

@adamschiff.com @padilla.senate.gov @sarajacobs.house.gov The POTUS does not show respect to the US Constitution, its laws, its courts, its norms, or its people. He deserves no respect. If you respect “the office,” it is necessary to demonstrate that respect by boycotting the #SOTU. #NoFascistUSA

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

Share a TV show that raised you.

#BoycottUSWorldCup #BoycottUSOlympics #BoycottUSTourism #BoycottUS The entire world boycotted South Africa for several years, leading to thE collapse of the apartheid system that Trump, Miller, Besset, Hegseth, and Rubio—oh and just ALL OF THEM—are trying to establish here. #NoFascistUSA

I’m ready to cancel Netflix if they fire her.

If you hear people complaining, remind them that Dems offered to split out ICE and CPB and fund everything else, including TSA. Republicans said no.

Yes to this! All Democratic candidates for Congress should run on a “Boston Tea Party-like” platform vowing to claw back the money Trump & Sons stole and to enshrine clear tariff policies into (more precise) law. #NoFascistUSA

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

Hear me out on the #WagTheDog concerns: given that Trump is drowning underwater on immigration, tariffs & ofc #Epstein, starting a war w/Iran WILL NOT RALLY THE COUNTRY BEHIND HIM. That traditional response will NOT occur. He'll just be mired in a longterm war w/a VERY hostile enemy. #ImpeachTrump

Another scorcher from Sargent. “The loss before the high court is also another sign that the pillars of Trump’s right-wing nationalist agenda are crumbling in a much broader and deeper sense—so much so that it’s posing a serious threat to the long-term durability of the ideology known as Trumpism.”

One of the creepiest things Trump said was that the families of the justices who voted against him should be ashamed of them. No one asked about the justices' families. Trump brought that up in a comment that has real "we know where you live" and "nice family you got there" vibes.

Maybe they’ll release the Epstein files to distract from the tariffs.

There is no reason to believe Trump's foreign policy is designed to benefit America or Americans www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Fabulous article about regular people—in this case, non-immigration lawyers organized by the @nlg.org and other legal orgs—saying “No!” to Trump-Miller’s fascism. #NoFascistUSA h/t @creativecommons.bsky.social

In case you’re wondering why Trump’s EO includes immunity: “The agrochemical maker Bayer & attorneys for cancer patients announced a proposed $7.25bn settlement on Tuesday to resolve thousands of US lawsuits alleging the company failed to warn people that its weedkiller Roundup could cause cancer.“

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

The world is rebelling against our corrupt, kleptocratic, xenophobic, fascist government. Brava!
