In an Orwellian move, the Trump administration defaced a national monument honoring resistance to 1969 NYPD attack on gay men in a Greenwich Village bar. The incident marked the start of the gay rights movement. Rewriting history is crucial to Donald making himself our dictator. Below from NYTimes.

There is always one cowardly quisling

If Pam Bondi wants to dismiss the Eric Adams indictment, she can just do it herself. She is the attorney general, she doesn’t need to have a line prosecutor do it for her. But they want to be able to say a career person did it.

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

Representation without taxation for a handful of billionaires, taxation without representation for the rest of us.

Elon says nobody actually voted for Harris, it’s all a hoax funded by USAID. This man is not well.

If Trump is wondering who made the "terrible" deal with Canada, maybe he should look in the mirror

The logic of the coup that is going on now. And how to resist it. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

Great & scary column

Like a corporate raid on the federal government. Except the raiders control the DOJ, The SEC and the Treasury Dept.

If Trump is going to prevent Congress from spending our taxes as dictated by the Constitution, the obvious remedy is to not pay your taxes. For advice on how to do that, contact the Oval Office.

If we kill the public sector for research, then we have to rely on the private sector, and the billionaires get to call the shots.

This times a centillion.

On 21 March 1933 Adolf Hitler was officially sworn in as chancellor of Germany. The same day he pardoned 8,000 Nazis, who had committed violent acts, starting with the failed Hitler coup on 8 November 1923. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/u...

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

What Trump has wrought.

Obama’s inauguration - 28 degrees I’m going to leave this here ALL day Jan. 20 …..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Remember this day. The last full day with a Democratic President. We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺

Don't let go of reality, no matter what the Trumpers say billmckibben.substack.com/p/for-reality

WELKER: Can you commit that California disaster relief won't have strings attached? MIKE JOHNSON: No, I won't commit to that ... when state and local officials make foolish policy decisions that make the disaster exponentially worse, we need to factor that in.

Donald Trump is no Jack Kennedy.

"The sudden removal of Turner suggests Trump may be planning to move quickly after assuming office to impose a bad deal on Ukraine, or simply to sell out Ukraine. Having someone like Turner in charge of an important oversight committee? Unacceptable to Trump." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-purge-...

Don’t fool yourself. Senate Republicans are going to confirm them all.

"A cantankerous press, an obstinate press, a ubiquitous press..." Great piece! Gift link: foreignpolicy.com/2025/01/08/t...

Trump’s legal arguments for postponing or canceling today’s sentencing by Judge Merchan were so patently ridiculous that the four Justices who signed onto them by dissenting yesterday have erased any residual doubt that they’re willing to swallow whatever crap Trump’s lawyers will throw his way.

what do you notice in this photo?

In case you're scoring the sycophancy.

The best thing you can do is starve Meta for revenue. Never click on or buy anything through their ads. Never pay for an ad to sell a product or advertise an event. Never do anything again that will put one cent in Mark Zuckerberg's pocket!

Q: Who knew the rich were so cowardly? A: Every authoritarian.

“Four years ago, dozens of companies denounced the invasion of the U.S. Capitol and pledged to withhold support from those who disputed the 2020 election results. Now, many of those companies are lining up to fund Donald Trump’s inauguration.” From the @wsj.com www.wsj.com/business/tru...

Let's be clear, @jenrubin.bsky.social is a hero. "Media owners paying cold, hard cash to an incoming president (whether by settlement or donation) mars their organizations’ independence and gives rise to suspicion that those outlets will pull their punches." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Wow.

Trump is a PINO: President in Name Only
