I know that the word sheriff is originally an Arabic word, I’m just hoping that the same is also true of tariff and that a tariff is also some kind of Arabic trade concept! That would be fantastic!

I will say right now, emphatically, that I will not accept my Social Security in crypto,

These are the names of the 10 Democrats who pathetically voted to censure Al Green for protesting Trump’s madness: Ami Bera Ed Case Jim Costa Laura Gillen Jim Himes Chrissy Houlahan Marcy Kaptur Jared Moskowitz Marie Gluesenkamp Perez Tom Suozzi

Look what's happening at the French Embassy in Washington DC.

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

Trump is our Quisling. I need to learn more about the Norwegian resistance.

Trump and Vance just made Zelensky one of the most popular leaders in the world.

Tesla stock headed straight down at the open, sell while you can, #TeslaTakedown is coming for the rest 📉📉

Plus Joy and Lester Holt? Looks like the slide deck of a Power Point presentation at an employment discrimination webinar. Not a good look @msnbc.com Not a good look at all. A betrayal of your loyal audience & a disaster for your network. www.thedailybeast.com/new-msnbc-bl...

I am very happy about this! I hope his "home imprisonment" isn't in Florida. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

These are the GOP members of the House Ways and Means Committee--THEY'RE some of the people hiding while DOGE disrupts Medicare/Medicaid and NIH funding. If they are YOUR representative, consider a visit to their LOCAL OFFICE this week, while they're home, to explain why they need to oversee DOGE.

It's just a small act that I am able to take under the DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE advice from Snyder's 'On Tyranny', but I checked my renewal date for Amazon Prime, which in the past has always snuck up on me, taking money out of my bank...and I ended my Prime account.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

Public Notice from @atrupar.com is a daily must read. Aaron has saved many of us from the mental anguish of having to endure the endless torrent of lies from right wing media first hand. His work will be invaluable over the next four years.

Jimmy Carter was one of my favorite presidents. He saw Oligarchy coming when SCOTUS ruled on Citizens United. Carter said: “The erroneous ruling of the supreme court, where millionaires, billionaires, can put in unlimited amounts of money.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016...

Watch me crank! I accepted 50 #postcardstovoters addresses for Virginia Senate candidate Jack Trammell at 8:30 am EST and completed lettering them at 1 pm EST. I have to decorate, address, and stamp them and they'll be ready to mail. This is a Tony the Democrat campaign for a Jan 7 special election.

As soon as MAGA targeted Hunter Biden, I saw it as consistent w/ Trump's central policy:"the cruelty is the point". Trump will populate his entire administration with sadists, who only feel happy & safe when torturing someone they dislike. Biden's grief about the death of his son, Beau,was palpable.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
