The Trump regime will arrest you in the middle of the night because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. If you think I'm being hyperbolic, watch this clip.

So far this month, Democratic Reps Raúl Grijalva (77) and Sylvester Turner (70) have passed, functionally increasing the GOP margin in the House from 3 seats to 5 seats, right before the budget showdown. (Given how absent Grijalva had been, functionally increasing from 4 to 5). Gerontocracy, man.

This is authoritarian. The government should not be permitted to shuffle people around to evade a court’s jurisdiction.

This is so incredibly frightening. Even if Republicans lose control of the presidency and Congress, unless they are essentially destroyed as a party, why would anyone ever risk taking a federal grant in the future? They are straight up criminalizing anything they don't agree with.

"You didn't need to vote for [censure]!" I respect Dem Rep. Jim Himes for coming on my show to try & defend what I think was his awful & mistaken vote to censure Rep. Al Green for his anti-Trump protest. I think the Luigi Mangione analogy was BAD though. Full show: zeteo.com/p/mehdi-chal...

The EEOC filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk's company, Tesla, alleging it allowed "severe racial harassment" of Black employees including “frequent direct verbal racial attacks” and the “constant presence of racist graffiti evocative of lynchings.” Every story about these cuts should say that.

A Trump adviser said a Voice of America reporter was “treasonous.” Now the reporter has been put on leave, pending an investigation. And articles have been watered down to remove criticism of the president. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/b...

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

That feeling of being bullied, talked over, cut off, made to feel like you aren't grateful enough...felt uncomfortably familiar. I'm assuming others also had a visceral reaction to that "conversation" becase on their own personal experiences with situations like this.

Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.

You're going to hear a lot of DC types going on the record to say they can't figure out why any of this is happening. It's really quite straightforward: this is happening because MAGA is a eugenics project, this is eugenics. www.marketwatch.com/story/social...

John Mitchell, civic leader, civil rights champion, & editor of the Richmond Planet starting in 1884, was a crusader against the epidemic of lynching. The son of formerly enslaved parents, he risked his life to fight for justice, including initiating a boycott of segregated streetcars in 1904.

You could not have written any of this in a novel or a tv show unless the genre was “bizarre dystopian parody” - and even then the reviews would have likely pointed out that it was all a bit much. It would all be immensely funny if it wasn’t so dangerous.
