Three things that make the U.S. the envy of the world: 1) Professionalized military with strong norm of civilian control 2) Higher education and cutting-edge scientific research 3) Ability to welcome immigrants and attract the “best and the brightest” All three are under threat.

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

I know things are bleak and scary right now. But I promise you that you - yes YOU - can get through this. You don't have to fight all of this on your own. Find one person you can help, and help them. Make the life of one person better every day. Hold onto your joy. That's how we win.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

The downfall of the United States began when one former "Democrat" turned Republican in his 70s with cognitive issues. It appears it will end with another former "Democrat" turned Republican in his 70s with cognitive issues.

Something to note. The Proud Boys are at the Capitol today and Trump wore a yellow tie. Black and yellow are proud boy colors. It's very clear that he views them as his personal militia that will mete out political violence. "stand back and stand by."

I wanted to come up with an analogy to describe Trump's absurd plan for Ukraine. Something like... "Imagine if Mexico invaded America and then met with Canada to decide how much of America they should keep." I quickly realized my analogy was something most Americans would welcome right now.

There are some angry people blaming Dems for not stopping this budget train wreck. Democracy was at stake on Nov 5. It is tragic that too many voters didn’t understand the consequences. But now Republicans are in control & need to hear the people dissent. Dems can’t do much other than say words.

Those in power are counting on Americans to care more for their own comfort than for our democratic institutions. Let's show them we're wrong. Think globally, act locally. Onward! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

I would say, “Wonder what it would be like for Hitler to have had social media?” But you just have look at Trump and Musk to know EXACTLY what it would have been like.

How utterly humiliating for the great and mighty U.S. to have allowed racism and fear to lead it to this.

Fuck you, Merrick Garland, for never treating criminals like criminals. For not having the balls to wield the power of US Law, given to you by POTUS, and allowing this chance for those criminals to now make our laws. Fuck. You.

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

It’s amazing how many Republican politicians, Fox hosts, & commentators have come out to strongly disagree with Trump’s statements about Ukraine while none of them even mentioned his name while doing so. Their level of fear and terror of Trump is something to watch.

This is why I really have no time for the "behind the scenes, Republicans say yadda yadda yadda." This is a public-facing business. If you tell a reporter you don't want to vote "aye" then you vote "aye," who cares?
