This barstool Machiavelli is so damn smart he actually thinks that Tr•mp has "gotten rid of birthright citizenship." And so thoroughly evil that he considers this a good thing. #Grothman #Townhalls #RachelMaddow

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

On the rash of contentious townhalls in red zones: Part of the reason why folks in eastern Oregon are so upset is that a far larger share of the workforce is in government. #Townhall #CliffBentz #DOGE

We all know that he is never going to leave without violence, right?

Oregon is a blue state, but the 2nd congressional district, comprising the eastern half of the state, is red as the Kremlin on Lenin's birthday. So when Cliff Bentz gets reamed at a townhall in Boardman, we're not talking about bleeding-heart libruls. #Bentz talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/anoth...

If you're planning to deploy the army against the population with orders to shoot to kill, the first thing you need to do is sack all the folks who would declare any such order unconstitutional. #Coup www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Isn’t this a bit like appointing the cabbie that Tom Friedman talked to on his way to LaGuardia in 2003 to run the U.S. Department of State? #DEI4WYPIPO www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Love the smirk that says “I know that you know that I know what I’m doing but we’re all gonna whine that it’s just a wave or maybe some twit will call it a ‘Bellamy Salute’ or maybe because I said 'Amen' it can't be a Hitler salute because Hitler was a pagan.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTFx...

The thing is:

📢 PODCAST The Path to Authoritarianism One month into the Trumpist regime, we reflect on what has happened since Trump returned to the presidency, what might be coming next, and what we have learned about America along the way. New episode of Is This Democracy:

The Dow is down 600 points. Losers gonna lose. Target, McDonald's, Tesla, Walmart etc. Inflation & tariff fears have indeed hit Main street. www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/i...

one reason it's extremely bad that all these institutions (schools, nonprofits, companies) are rushing to comply with Trump by becoming more racist, homophobic, and bigoted is that once you embrace bigotry out of cowardice, you have a huge incentive to convince yourself that bigotry is righteous. 1
