Trump is closing a major airport to accommodate a military parade for his birthday – the parade is estimated to cost as much as $45 million. This coming from the president who said little girls are fine with 2 dolls not 30. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Love this description: “an army of gullible smooth-brains: remorseless, hateful fools who will agree to any amount of cruelty as long as it’s inflicted on people they see as lower than they are—usually brown people who speak a different language.” It’s the same gang that’s trying to ban books.

The puzzle table at my HS library was always popular. Kids who might not normally engage with each other cooperated to connect pieces. Even those who were just walking by would linger a while to find a piece. It was a joy to watch.

"This is not all a buildup to say, 'I have seen the future of the Resistance, and its name is Bruce Springsteen.' (That said: Bruce, if you’re reading this. . .) But it’s clear that Americans depressed over Trump need inspiration to keep fighting."

The complete lack of empathy for others is what everyone in the MAGA coalition has in common and holds the various groups together: Evangelicals, white nationalist, tech oligarchs, conspiracy-mongers, etc.

Elon Musk grabbed our personal information, and now, Peter Thiel's Palantir appears to be one of the vehicles Trump will employ to use it against us. Don't worry; they'll continue reassuring us it will only be used to create a better world. (For them.)

So as Trump prepares to ride off into the sunset on his Qatari magic carpet (now with turbulence and tax write-offs!), remember: Hillary Clinton couldn’t keep a necklace. Donald Trump gets a $400 million bribe with extra legroom and a built-in tanning bed. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Would MAGA and the right-wing media have stopped talking about Biden’s ‘cognitive decline’ if he won the election? No. So you don’t have to stop talking about Trump’s accelerating derangement and shitshow of a government. Elections should not be events that silence or gag people in a democracy.
