I think it’s reasonable to assume that what the Trump regime is doing to Ukraine now is related to how they view, and will treat, states & cities they consider either enemies or not of use to them.

Neo-Nazi terrorist and convicted mass murderer Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people in Norway in 2011, cited this same Napoleon quote in his manifesto.

The United States ought to back Ukraine because it is the right thing to do, morally, and, above all, because it is in the hard U.S. interest to do so. To shake down a country that is struggling for its very existence is, to my sense, repulsive.

This isn't a sacrifice to save your coworkers, it's an abdication of duty disguised as nobility. Don't pretend it's not.

It cannot be overstated how, at the onset of bird flu, the successful nomination of RFK Jr to HHS is the worst thing to happen in the world in years. It is worse than Elon.

It’s crucial in this utterly lawless and corrupt administration that we recognize the people who acted with integrity and remember, forever, those who did not.

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory

They would not proclaim such executive powers for "the president" if they believed President AOC could, in 2029, decide to unilaterally cut the defense budget by hundreds of billions. They are working to neuter free and fair elections. You can bet on it.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

Some Trump voters aren’t evil. The marginal voter doesn’t pay attention and supported him because he’s rich and they want to be rich too. But ✨all of them✨ are intellectual children, no matter how “smart” they are. If you couldn’t see that re-electing him would break the world, you’re not there.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

There’s a certain Type of Guy in the Trump II administration that anyone in certain online circles recognizes immediately, and I suspect reporters who are in spheres adjacent to but not overlapping with this Type of Guy or have been victimized by them will run rings around those who aren’t.

I think we tend to underestimate the degree to which the end of Trump/Musk will come from a coalition of convenience that unites already-activated resistance types with literal mega corporations.

LGBTQIA minors make up 40% of the endangered minor runaway population. They are 120% more likely to be unhoused. They are also uniquely at risk for exploitation and trafficking. This is breathtakingly evil.

This is an absolutely remarkable memo — and a betrayal of both the Constitution and the American political tradition. In the US, by explicit contrast with interwar fascist governments, the state is not supposed to be an extension of the personality of the chief executive.

This is personal. And this is career ending. These officers will never be able to travel to the country they work on now. Thank God for great management and leadership all the way to the 7th floor when I was still serving.

If you work for the federal government and are tempted to take Musk’s “buyout” offer please know that you’re never going to see that money.

I don't think toppling this weakling will be hard. Anyone who has to interact with him should just treat him the way people used to treat naughty pets. Use a big voice to say no and bop him with a newspaper. Get a squirt bottle if he gets near something he shouldn't touch.
