Millennial men (aged 30 to 44) are the only male cohort with a net negative approval of Trump. Looks like we're the men most likely to see through Trump's toxic machismo as women do--as the ignorant, transparent, pathetic, yet still dangerous screams of male insecurity it so obviously is.

Look I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this but if you’re a liberal and the president is like “We are going to detain and deport this guy for protesting” the correct response is not “Protesting what?”

Every poll ever: Harris lost because of the economy and inflation. Gov. Newsom: The problem is we are too nice to trans people.

#booksky #readinglife Yay! Libby delivered James by Percival Everett! It’s a re-telling of Huck Finn through the eyes of Jim. Especially exciting because I re-read Huck Finn last month. So far (I’m only in Chapter 2), it’s great, and having fresh memories of Huck Finn definitely helps

Today I was supposed to do 3 CLEs on immigration law, specifically immigration on humanitarian grounds (asylum, convention against torture) I stopped after the first one. I can’t help think it is inhumane to help people come here right now. My immigration law career might be over before it starts

It is not nuanced. There aren’t good people on both sides. Putin is evil. Trump and Vance are evil. They all belong on the ash heap of history. I have only slight, delusional, optimistic hope they won’t take us with them. Zelensky is the good guy. The only disrespect I saw today was towards him.

What Trump is trying to do to Ukraine is a betrayal of them, of all our allies, of the entire rules-based international order, and of the very ideals of Freedom and Democracy. I hate him so much. I wish he would get pancreatic cancer. And I’m not much fonder of his lackeys and supporters.

Bannon does an unambiguous Nazi Salute at CPAC: “fight, fight, fight” [salute and smirk] “amen!” They are fucking Nazis and have long ago worn out any possible benefit of the doubt. They know what they are doing, and are pleased as punch they don’t have to hide it in America anymore.

I've been writing a series of essays for PBS on men whose style I admire. The latest is about James Baldwin, a man who knew how to sing through clothes. www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

Thread: bad news, everyone. DOGE is just falsifying data now (thanks to that ostensible read-only access they claim to have) Here is DOGE claiming to have saved $8 billion with a b 1/5

For what it's worth, I am an active licensed attorney again. 😬 Catching up on my CLEs, I started one on trans student rights. I couldn't finish it. I was so sad and white-hot angry by how badly our govt & culture treat trans people. It's inhumane.

What if we all submitted bar complaints against Emil Bove?

I think the Trump administration will defy the court orders. Then contempt, but who enforces contempt? U.S. Marshals under the control of the DOJ. Trump will order them not to enforce it. Then what? I don't know. But any of you MAGA people who claim the constitution is sacred are lying.

It’ll take a while to get to that point, but I expect we will see an unprecedented amount of Rule 11 sanctions against like all of the DOJ in these cases.

I am most worried about the CONSTITUTIONAL crisis of the Musk couple. But I don't have the position, skills, or even ideas what to do. I expect my law license to be active again next week. I do have skills to help the HUMANITARIAN crisis of Trump's immigration and trans policies. I will focus there

The tariffs were a stunt. A distraction. Panama, Gaza, and whatever else is a distraction. From what? The takeover of the US government by an unelected South African billionaire.

Please just fight. And make sure everyone knows you are fighting. Even if it's a hopeless battle. People love that shit. People are inspired by that shit. That is one of the singular myths that we have at the foundation of our entire culture. Going into battle despite great odds.

In Moonraker, book not film, a nazi in disguise who built a business empire, shifted to rockets, and had great publicity as a genius, ostensibly will help the UK government out of the goodness of his heart, but actually plans to destroy the UK for revenge. This came to mind recently. #booksky

There is a non-negligible chance that after Trump talks to Trudeau, he will claim some kind of victory, and cancel the tariffs. After all, the market is watching. If that's what he does it's classic gangster behavior: Threaten to break something then take credit for "fixing" it. He's a scumbag.

Even with all the major disadvantages (incumbency during a crisis, bad information ecosystem, etc), more people didn’t want this to happen than did want it to happen. But many of them couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a Black lady, or wanted to feel “purer” than democrats. I won’t forget.

Every time I remember Stephen Miller designed this rush of orders to burn me out specifically I get a new burst of energy from the spite alone. The very thought of my exhaustion giving him an ounce of joy makes me want to burst through walls
