Can a nation organized and governed such as ours endure? A whole world looks to see what we will do. We cannot fail their trust. We cannot fail to try.

Carney: Donald Trump is trying to break us so the U.S. can own us. They want our land. They want our resources. They want our water. They want our country. And we're all going to stand up against Donald Trump

I hope Northwestern’s administration fights harder than they have so far, for all the obvious reasons important to all Americans, but also as a resident of Evanston, because I’ve heard estimates that a big hit to federal research funding could cost over 5,000 jobs, which would decimate the city.

This really shouldn't have to be said, but: If you are parsing something RFK Jr said to find the part you think he's right about, stop right there. You have already lost your way. This applies to everything he says, whether about autism, vaccines, "healthy," whatever. Just don't do it.

I think it’s fine to bully people for reading Harry Potter in 2025 actually If you want to read your old Harry Potter books, you should do it in secret and shamefully - you know, in the way that J.K. Rowling wants to force trans people to live.

I get why people are focusing on Kilmar Abrego Garcia, but we should be demanding the return of every single person ICE abducted and that the Trump administration trafficked to El Salvador. I don't care if they're an angel or a terrorist. Everyone deserves due process and a chance in court.

If you want a real gut punch in the midst of all of this, watch Saving Private Ryan again. The final “earn this” scene is even more devastating now that 77.3 million Americans have voted to flush EVERYTHING that our grandparents generation fought for 80 years ago down the drain.
