+1. Actually impeachments, without convictions, just boost his self-image as an American hero persecuted by corrupt deep-state politicians

i mean. trudeau is right. donald trump represents a betrayal of everything america promised to be. canada has been our ally for a hundred years, through the fires of two world wars, the cold war, all the great struggles of the twentieth century--and this is how we repay that? it's disgusting

the new york times saying that trump is ignoring "legal niceties" is this theory in action: trump has declared that he will violate the law, which means that the New York Times must report that it is no longer the law

The President is asking rhetorical questions about what federal government aircraft was doing, as if there's someone else who is supposed to have the answer. This is his responsibility. If he doesn't even know the answers, it's because he and his unqualified appointees are incompetent.

This Hannah Arendt quote feels appropriate right now "Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty."

I wrote this about the media's first big test of Trump 2.0, and how poorly it scored. On the tedious, vital work of seeing what's in front of our faces for the next four years. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

I would sincerely recommend that everyone (especially white folks) who feels the urge to dunk on that Hakeem Jeffries “God is still on the throne” tweet take a moment to stop and consider the role of the Black church in US progressive & resistance movements, and how that context applies here.

Bork’s nomination was sunk, in part, by his describing SCOTUS work as an “intellectual feast”. It’s a scholar’s curse—judging the import of an issue by how intellectually interesting it is. I’m (not) sorry that the question of birthright citizenship under the 14A isn’t “interesting”, but it isn’t.

One thing that made me pro-trans rights is that I followed a pre-transition trans woman on Twitter who mostly just talked about how depressed she was then after her transition she mostly just talked about how hot she was.

megawealth is a curse! you become acutely aware of the needs you have that cannot be satisfied through material means AND you are socially ill-positioned to be in a place where you can experience authentic human connection because everyone around you has every incentive to lie to you!

Fundamentally Trump is trying to convert America into a dictatorship, where he issues orders, and then they become law, either because everyone ignores the other laws, or because they are affirmed and validated by a completely compliant Supreme Court and Congress.

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.” “Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.” “Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.” “‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us” Pause. “I needed to make a statement.”

Good quote from a local politician: "To be clear, if you are doing a pose with the intention of making people upset because it looks like a Nazi salute, the pose you are doing is a Nazi salute," Osei said on Facebook.
