Kara Swisher about Musk ("a Willy Wonka type character"): Musk "just wants to use Trump as a vehicle to get the things he wants.... Trump is sort of the patsy in this whole situation. If you don't see the sucker in the room, it's you...." (Feb 22, 2025, The Bulwark, The Focus Group Podcast)

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Trump wants to control Ukrainian mines but doesn't want to deploy American troops. Will he request the Russian army to safeguard these mines? It's like his strategy for Gaza or the invasion of Canada. This guy is insane.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Yesterday, I started experiencing the sort of physical pain one gets when grieving for one's own losses, making every mundane task painful. Today, my throat keeps hurting in the way it does when I grieve for others and would like to give voice to their pain. Americans are hurting.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

Trump Regime is not paying the Catholic church for services rendered re refuge services. This is in keeping the Reich not viewing refugees who are in the US legally as legal, and it's also Trump's business plan: refuse payment after the work is done.

You know the sort of grief where doing in the most mundane tasks feels physically painful? Yeah, that. Watching people celebrate that grief with cheering and Nazi salutes is like someone scolding me right after the loss of a dear family member, "They lived a long life; shouldn't you be over it?"

I'm open to honest dialogue AND how does one dialog with someone who believes this? How does anyone over the age of 6 support this sort of thinking?

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.
