Regime change begins at home

I saw this useful resource: www.nilc.org/resources/ho...

I'm not what you'd call a single issue voter but if I were, this would be my single issue.

Donald Trump is a malignant narcissist. Regarding his fixation with the Nobel Prize. As a malignant narcissist and with his particular focuses (where a narcissist wants/demands attn) ...one of his focuses is awards. Trophies. They all have their particular areas of 'I AM THE BESTEST BIRTHDAY BOY'

His parade was a flop so he had to get his narcissistic injury healed by dropping bombs on Iran.

Domininionist Viagra

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

Gets almost zero engagement and wonders why… Then laughs at self because, duh…

Take note.

#ResistanceUnited "Talent is evenly distributed across populations, but opportunity is not." A statement that succinctly sums up why DEI is essential. This NEJM article explains the negative impact on our healthcare system of dismantling DEI programs. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Donald Trump is an extremely stupid man with very few real policy preferences who has simply done what mainstream conservatives have wanted 80-90% of the time since he has entered politics. They have wanted to bomb Iran. He bombed Iran. Pretty straightforward.

Depressing time to be a law professor whose entire job hinges on law existing and being meaningful in some way

God my absolute heart is with the people of Iran, who’ve fought so steadfastly for their own liberation, and are getting fucked half a dozen ways by a whole pantheon of geriatric war criminals while being told they should be grateful for it

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

I am begging people not to look to the NYT for coverage of what's happening. The BBC, Le Monde, Ajazeera and others will have more truthful coverage.

Trump signed an executive order to blow up the 2026 election: decertifying voting machines, blocking mail ballots, demanding citizenship papers to vote. This isn’t about “election integrity”—it’s voter suppression on steroids. This is how authoritarians rig the game. apnews.com/article/bd47...

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

One of the greatest Canadians ever. The man who started the ball rolling to give us our universal healthcare, although we just call it free healthcare whenever the fuck we need it. He had a thing or two to say on other subjects as well.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Mahmoud Khalil emerges from airport security with his wife Noor and newborn, legal team and Rep. AOC.

this is such an important point. i do not think that the typical american understands that for most of their lives, someone like james madison or george washington or thomas jefferson was *surrounded* by black people.

The Miami Cubans are finding out.

I think the Catholic Church should do this every day in every city

Mahmoud Khalil has been released.

Me: “we already have two fantastic dogs, we don’t need any more pets.” My wife: “you’re right.” Me: “plus we just got new rugs…” My wife: “okay” Me: “and I can’t be home all day to house train a puppy.” My wife: “I understand” Me: “so it is NOT gonna happen.” … BlueSky, meet Martha.

If an administration ends the suicide hotlines for only one group of people, I think it's fair for the public to conclude that the admin is OK with knowing their decision will result in countless deaths of the people in the group they have targeted. I hope lawsuits are filed. Here's why: 1/5

Bada-bing, bada-BOOM!

Again, I think this will increase Mike Lee’s popularity, not decrease it. Trumpists want a swaggering, bullying douche.

Would you like to watch a tiny, plant like chef sing and dance to Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy" while cooking? If so, have I got just the thing.

Has anyone come up with a cold application thing to put underneath the breasts? Cause I would get that. Like an ice ring, but for breasts.

damn -- Duckworth to Hegseth: "If you want to be the DHS secretary, maybe you can apply for that job when you're fired from this one due to your incompetence."

In happier news, E. Jean Carroll has a new book coming out and I suspect it's going to be delicious.

They're routinely arresting opposition leaders. ROUTINELY

This is...not a Kathy Hochul many New Yorkers have seen before.

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.
