No surprise. As he has done his entire life as a grifting sleazebag, Trump has not paid the 4,000 National Guardsmen he federalized. No money, horrific sleeping conditions, no healthcare, no benefits — like all things connected to Trump, it's been a total disaster. 😳👇

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? To my undying shame, it’s this crew. Rescue unlikely.

Trump is spending $134 million to needlessly deploy troops to LA and $45 million to throw himself a birthday military parade — he seems to think the US military is a toy for his amusement, funded by American taxpayers.

Once again for those in the back: It was never about books. It’s always been about people. Books are just a proxy. MAGA extremists really want to ban the people … shove LGBTQ+ people back in the closet, keep people of color at the back of the bus & send anyone who doesn’t conform to jail or hell.

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.
