Democrat. Trump is a malignant narcissist who is having a disasterous impact on our country. Dr. Bandy Lee is a preiminent psychaitrist who can help lead us out of the darkness with her knowledge of pathology. https://bandylee.com

He's also the president who killed things like this. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Trump is really out here asking SCOTUS to let Elon’s DOGE access Social Security??? They are not just coming for your check—they are coming for the whole damn system.

Please remember who your duty is to.

🤔🤔🤔

The Republicans aren’t listening to anybody but Trump. They know how detrimental these cuts will be to their constituents but instead of developing a backbone, standing up to Trump, & doing what’s right—they’re too scared, too spineless, & too sold out to fight for the folks they represent.

This is worth reading www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/o...

ICYMI: “Charles lies, people die!” @climatedefiance.bsky.social crashed a Charles Koch award ceremony to shame him for being at the root of climate crisis denialism.

Authoritarian parties have now lost, and lost big, in three successive elections internationally: Germany, Canada, and Australia. This trend warms my soul.

TRUMP DOES IT AGAIN: He has helped to re-elect a left-leaning government in a country with long ties to the United States. First it was Canada. And now? Australia! Here's the current front page of the Sydney Morning Herald. "LABOR LANDSLIDE" is the headline. Congratulations Anthony Albanese!

Don't ever let these things happen in secret. Raise your voices as much as you can.

Lol

Pope Francis spoke often about the importance of environmental stewardship in a way none of his predecessors had, connecting climate change to social inequities: cnn.it/4jnHRbX

Protect health care, everywhere.

The most dangerous legal doctrine right now is a "norm" the courts developed to presume good faith and regularity from presidents and their administrations. For the sake of democracy, the courts must stop presuming donald Trump is a regular president. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

1/7 I think Charles Koch is teeing up a shift in power to fellow Libertarian, JD Vance. The authoritarian playbook says that the authoritarian needs to create a crisis that only he can solve. Only Vance” can solve Trump’s chaos. time.com/7282130/char...

Things that WON’T move the needle on FASCISM: Strong speeches Congress Court orders Negotiating with TRAITORS The next election SCOTUS rulings Things that WILL move the needle on FASCISM: MASS MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE. GENERAL STRIKE. REVOLUTION through INNOVATION by the PEOPLE. Ya ready?

U.S. troops have a legal duty to disobey unlawful orders, even from the President.

Just say it.

Authoritarian narcissists fear truth because it dismantles the illusions they construct. Their power depends on propaganda, their control on deception, and their followers on ignorance carefully maintained.

A husband/father who doesn’t make you feel 100% comfortable with leaving the kids with him is an enormous red flag. It’s not funny or just annoying. He doesn’t want you to live fully.

Crockett: He wants there to be a portion of the budget that goes up to $1 trillion on the defense side. They have failed the very last seven audits. So why would they continue to get raises, which they always do. Yet we're going to hurt the most vulnerable amongst us.

Here is a fancy bird for your Friday evening, a male Golden-browed Chlorophonia. They are found in Central America, in Costa Rice and Panama, and Birds of the World describes them as short-billed, chunky tanagers. San Gerardo de Dota, Costa Rica

This is what happens when we allow untreated, disordered individuals to acquire power. We need a mental health fitness test for all political leaders, starting at the local level, and across the globe. BandyLee.com

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Big shoutout to Chicago! ✊ 👏

Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy. Thank you professor.🙏

Meanwhile, in Canada…

You don't have to care about the Founders. We should have as little reverence for them as they themselves had for all the hallowed things they left behind. Less actually, because they are dead. We are here. They are not. What kind of America do we, the living, want to have?

Julia Parsons, a U.S. Navy code breaker during World War II who was among the last survivors of a top-secret team of women that unscrambled messages to and from German U-boats, has died at 104.

The list could go on and on….and on. But here are 5 diabolical, disastrous, deplorable, detrimental dumb decisions by Don.

Hochul: Our tourism industry is going to be flat on its back if we don't change it because the Canadians who spend a lot of money in our country… They're not coming
