It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Here’s my prediction for DOGE: Whatever minimal amount of money it may possibly save in the short term will be far exceeded by the ultimate cost of fixing all of the problems it creates. It’s already an epic failure.

YOU are enabling Putin to do this to vulnerable Ukrainians so please — nobody cares about your fucking fake heartbreak — but we do care about you green-lighting genocide of both Palestinians and Ukrainians by aligning our country in crisis with the nefarious goals of Putin.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

$50 fees? Consumers and small businesses have already begun feeling the impact of President Donald Trump's new tariffs, which eliminated a key trade exemption for parcels worth less than $800.

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-...

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

The silence of most Republican members of Congress on the Trump tariffs tells you two things: 1. They know it is a terrible idea. 2. They are so afraid of Trump that they won’t say anything even though they know how much it is going to hurt their constituents and the country.

There is no such fucking thing as being “too woman” to pilot a helicopter, “too gay” to land a plane or “too black” to be an air traffic controller. There is however, such a thing as being too hateful, too stupid & too sociopathic to be president. And we call that Donald Trump.

How the HECK is it not a nationwide scandal that Trump told federal law enforcement to divert resources away from drug trafficking and terrorism cases to instead prioritize prosecuting undocumented immigrants for living here? They screamed about fentanyl and then did this!

Erasing brown-skinned people from the landscape of America is indeed Trump’s goal. The mass deportation of specific immigrants is just the beginning. All people of color — citizens or not — will ultimately be targets. Trump’s raging racism will spare no one.
