Wondering how the families of the soldiers serving at that base in Qatar are feeling about the president right about now.

No one in Trump’s family has ever served in the military. He’ll send other people’s kids to war. Never his. Never.

Don’t let Trump illegally attacking Iran distract you from Trump illegally attacking Americans.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

Sometimes “two weeks” means never, sometimes it means two days. One thing that’s for sure is it never means two weeks.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

Prayers for an “allergic reaction.” But mockery and hateful conspiracies for murder victims who aren’t in your tribe. With no apology or remorse. Fake Christian, small man.

Here's something I post from time to time. My answer to a reader who asked me: what could journalists do NOW to break with some of their more corrosive habits.

Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.

When historians look back at this moment, they will see a regime attacking the democratic process with threats and violence, and a massive display of support for democracy. What will they see when they look for its coverage in the press?

Just to give an idea of how much the Trump administration wants to "help" the citizens of Los Angeles by sending in the military

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Vanilla ISIS and Y’all-Qaeda need to sit the fuck down with the Civil War fantasies. Only a handful of you could run down the street without an inhaler, and you want to be deputized to go help ICE? Clown shit.

It’s fucking infuriating that the authoritarian regime has troops in the streets and all you hear in coverage is concern about “anarchists and extremists.” The fascists are fucking extreme. Corporate media is a curse on this society.

A reason im not moved by the “don’t give the trump administration the pretext they’re looking for” is that we would not dare say that about any anti-authoritarian protest movement in literally any other country

Major media are afraid to tell us that Trump is in the process of setting up a dictatorship. They know it — everyone closely following the news knows it — but they fear that telling such a stark truth would seem “partisan” and make them a target. Their failure to sound the alarm endangers us all.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

"I didn't know he would do this." Yes, you did, or you voted while being completely uninformed which is just as bad. Prove you didn't know it by joining folks resisting the regime. Prove it by disavowing him. Prove it by fighting for what's right. Otherwise, just be quiet.
