I know there’s serious news, but this? Too good not to share. Gavin Newsom’s office just posted a clip of EMPEROR PALPATINE reading Trump’s unhinged Truth Social rant about the L.A. protests. It’s trolling at its finest. The Force is strong with this one. 💀👑 #NoKings #FreedomToDissent

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

It's said that the indigenous peoples of the arctic have between 30 and 300 words for snow and ice. That's only natural. There's a lot of frozen water up there. So, it stands to reason that in the age of Trump we now need a lot ways to describe shit. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/what-do-we-e...

Stop pretending that the authoritarian repression is BECAUSE of the problems in {higher education, the media, the law, government, immigration policy, etc.}. This is what authoritarians do. If they didn't focus on these justifications, they'd come up with other ones.

I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.

Yes, the Trump-Vance performance yesterday was a disaster and a danger. But let’s not lose sight of the fact that Trump’s rant about Hunter Biden’s bedroom and bathroom and all things Russiagate was demented, real mad king stuff. Dude is tormented and unable to control himself. Completely nuts.

Just a reminder that Musk couldn’t get a top level security clearance. And he was under investigation for violating the terms of the clearance he did have. Now he has your Social Security number, your tax returns, and is unilaterally deciding who the government does and does not pay.

Trump disbands the aviation safety committee, fires the head of TSA and the Coast Guard then blames DEI for the crash the incompetence of HIS administration caused. This is how whiteness works. Pay attention! The ramifications of this lie will have undue effect on everyone!

Free speech is when the government restricts expression about race and gender, and the more the government cracks down on that expression, the freer speech is.

Hint: if someone starts talking about “real survivors” to slam someone else they don’t see as worthy of the word survivor, this person is an abuser or an abuser apologist. I have never, not once, seen the idea of “real” survivors used to advocate for survivors. It is a tell. Yes, always.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but we’ve been an oligarchy for decades and it was cemented with the Citizens United decision. We, the people, still hold the power, though. We control what we consume, where we go, how we spend, and who we vote for. Don’t let them ever forget that.

Today is not a “peaceful transfer of power.” It’s the completion of a violent coup attempt that began this morning four years ago. Yes, Trump won the ‘24 election; but he was only able to run because we failed to fully confront the fact of that violent coup attempt.

This is getting overlooked, but the whole premise of Trump's threat of tariffs is based on a lie. He's claiming Mexico must be bullied into stopping migrants. But Mexico is already doing this. That's a big reason crossings have dropped. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1888...
