Do not be provoked by evildoers; do not be jealous of those who do wrong. For they soon wither like the grass, and like the green grass fade away. Commit your way to the Lord; put your trust in the Lord, and see what God will do. —Psalm 37

Fascism isn’t coming to America, it’s already here. We are long past the warnings of an approaching existential threat looming on the distant horizon of our story, which many of us spent the past decade imploring people not to ignore. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/fascism-is...

Danielle Sassoon’s resignation letter. Worth a read. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is definitely one of the good ones. Today he HAMMERED Trump with a detailed list of all the prices that are going up because of Trump's trade wars. Make sure everyone sees this.

Well…

Helluva headline

Once upon a time we wanted to learn how government worked

Democrats only point of real institutional leverage is the budget and debt ceiling. Narrow majorities and GOP divisions mean they need Dem votes. As @joshtpm.bsky.social argues, they should say no help unless the lawbreaking stops. And stick to your guns. Extraordinary times, extraordinary measures.

Well, well.

Cuz that ALWAYS works

I go to @timothysnyder.bsky.social and @hcrichardson.bsky.social for historical perspective and contemporary context about the dystopia we're experiencing. Snyder's post today has both, plus real actionable guidance. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

If we’re going to have a South African as president why can’t it be Trevor Noah

Tar and Feather him. That is what we did when America was Great.

Pretty easy to draw a straight line from Citizens United to an unelected billionaire seizing America's treasury for his personal gain.

“For the typical American household, the tariffs will mean a loss of about $1,200 in purchasing power, according to the Budget Lab at Yale University, a nonpartisan research center.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States

It's the EVERYTHING Inc. Wait until he renames us "X"

do you have any idea just how badly you have to fuck up to get Canada mad at you

Elon is getting away with this both because of Trump's pardon power and his own impenetrable con. He was the single most significant factor in Trump's return—for the money, crypto-style campaigning, and normalization he provided. The press still cannot treat him like the Sieg Heiling thief he is.

Ah damn it turns out this whole political system relies on false assumptions about how big of an asshole someone could be

Starting today, Donold’s idiotic 25% tariff hike on imports from Canada and Mexico (and 10% on China) is set to make life more expensive for every American. Even his own voters are furious over what they voted for. Let’s break down this economic self-own.
