Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Carl Sagan explains how the ancient Greeks knew the Earth was round and calculated its circumference over 2,000 years ago.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

This is what tyrants like Erdogan do- they kidnap people off the street and disappear them. We are now an authoritarian state like Turkey.

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

@johnfetterman.com as a constituent with deep concerns for our country, democracy, and your worrisome, recent statements and opinions - I’m asking that you hold a town hall so we can hear from you and ask questions. Calling your office is a joke, and frankly, it feels like insubordination.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked. The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.” This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

This photo hits hard.

Egg, gas, and drug rices are up, Bird Flu is hitting nation - and Trump is golfing on day 8 on the job.

Fanone: There’s a lot of John Fettermans in the world and unfortunately, that’s why we’re in the predicament that we’re in

So far he did nothing to reduce the price of eggs, groceries or housing, as promised on his 1st full day. Instead he released a bunch of violent insurrectionists, who will pick up where they left off in the name of their pathetic leader.

Remember this day. The last full day with a Democratic President. We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺

I’m preparing to leave Facebook. I believe that social media needs to have rules and works to protect our discourse in our country, not to divide us. I will miss my connections with friends and family - birthdays, life events, everyday life. I’m hoping @bsky.app can pave the way to connect us

@ruthbenghiat.bsky.social what’s your view of former Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama and Biden+ former VPs attending the inauguration of this incoming autocrat? Thank you!

We need positive forms of political opposition in the United States. The People's Cabinet would offer new ideas, new voices, and new forms of action. snyder.substack.com/p/an-alterna...

I hope with the benefit of hindsight, Biden will finally be recognized for what he is: one of the most successful Presidents of our time. #ThanksJoe

This is irrefutably true. Let’s see how long it lasts.

Bezos has really upped the ante for billionaires debasing themselves to gain favor with Trump.👇 Cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit the Washington Post because it refused to print a cartoon mocking tech and media billionaires for sucking up to Trump. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...
