I am telling you again that the union cannot withstand four years of this shit. We cannot stay in a political system in which a demented, raving, conspiracy-addled lunatic with algorithm poisoning unleashes the US military on our own cities because they didn’t vote for him.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...

Went to a 7-year olds birthday party in a park this morning. Bagel spread food concept. So when I went to get my bagel there was a little jar of scrambled eggs and I was like cool! Eggs! Took some and then ten minutes later saw some Dad screwing the top on and putting it in his bag. So I….

The defining features of the second Trump administration are arbitrarily using blunt state power to vengefully upend the lives of people who have done nothing wrong and to destroy institutions whose sole transgression is insufficient obeisance to their new MAGAlords.

Maybe we can take grim satisfaction in the GOP bringing state control of the economy to the United States, only to prove it's as awful as they always said it would be.

Don't look away, don't normalize: this is the virtually unconstrained leader of the world's most powerful country ambushing the president of South Africa with conspiracy-fueled racist propaganda promoted by his unelected billionaire maybe-appointee who has caused the deaths of children through DOGE.

Internet Service Providers in 2025: yes there's an outage, no we won't tell you why, no you can't call us and ask us what happened, no we can't give you a clear timeline for service restoration, no we won't refund you for an entire lost workday, no you can't speak to a human, enjoy your day.
