Again… Impeach. Convict. Remove.

🏆 @rollingstone.com wins the Headline of the Day Award This is how it’s done. At least someone understands the assignment. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Dictatorships grab people off the street and jail them. Dictatorships demonize vulnerable minorities. Dictatorships destroy data. Dictatorships reject independent courts. Dictatorships buy the backing of the super-rich. Dictatorships persecute dissidents. See what’s happening, fellow Americans.

Oh look. Another bribery and extortion scheme.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

BREAKING: The country of Norway just entered a bill to give transgender Americans asylum in the country of Norway… LGBTQ+ STRONG! 🌈✨

All this "fraud" and yet still not a single fraud charge filed.

pro tip: if your government claims to have no money for children's heathcare but will eagerly waste millions on a gaudy military parade to stroke the fragile ego of a broken-inside president, you just might live in a shithole country

New from me: It's very in vogue for tech bros to talk about "network states," where likeminded people get together to form their own alternative nations, often with crypto fueling the economy. The TheoBros are actually doing something like this now in Appalachia. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Keep making good trouble. It works.

Last night I wrote about Abrego Garcia’s case. Today, SCOTUS confirmed it’s true. Even though their stay is just temporary, he remains in cruel & unusual conditions in a foreign prison with no recourse. It could happen to any of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

Reminder: We are not at war with Venezuela. The people deported are not enemies. The law in question should not apply. Among the most dangerous aspects of the SCOTUS ruling is the idea that the president and his people have the right to arbitrarily determine who our enemies are.

I taught a US citizenship class to South Sudanese refugees in Nebraska, 2006-2007. Fleeing civil war, they worked arduous jobs at a meat packing plant. Many had no literacy in any language. But they studied hard for a citizenship exam which many native-born Americans would not be able to pass.

Just came across a really great account focused on the history of of vaccines, aptly named @historyvaccines.bsky.social. I thought some of you might be interested. #MomSky 🦠💉

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From NZZ in Switzerland)

"I want my Social Security. I started working when I was 16. I have paid into the system and my employers have paid into the system for close to 50 years, and I want my money." - Linda Falcao

One of your investments did not lose a dime today… SOCIAL SECURITY. And remember, it’s the one they want to get rid of… Paying ATTENTION, yet?!

Everyone should watch this. Then share it with anyone who thinks these tariffs are a good idea and won’t crush small businesses. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DIDAtyB...

Riggs: My dad served 30 years in the military. He used his military ID to register to vote... My mom used her driver’s license when she went to vote this year.. And she doesn’t understand, and most people don’t, why a woman who showed her driver’s license is now being challenged..

This looks amazing! I was initially intrigued by the beautiful photo, and this recipe looks incredible! I cannot wait to make this and share with friends. 😍
