My most recent podcast, on coping with the (updated) metacrisis, via beauty, as modeled for us by the Irish revolution of the late 19th and early 20th century. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddiF...

America First is now America Alone.

Does anyone know of a great agent for a local Wisconsin coffee table book? Great photographer, reasonably humble but accomplished veteran writer (me), and we have a book we'd like to publish, Before The Light Wanes. Thank you for your consideration.

“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” said Alan Garber, Harvard’s president, in a statement to the university on Monday.” Truth. Veritas.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

DT not attending the dignified transfer of soldiers who died in Lithuania. He’s playing golf. Absolutely repulsive excuse for a POTUS.

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Check out Jim Banks’ resting cocksucker face. The face of cruelty of the Republican Party.

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

Stop whining! No one asked you to buy yourself into the government and destroy people’s lives. You should have stayed in the private sector

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

A brand new edition of our podcast, The Brambled Path. We discuss Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny, listen to a beautiful song, and I hold forth on my interpretation of patriotism. www.youtube.com/live/SaAT3_9...

I do not disagree! 💩

At least during the first term, he was subjected to disagreement and challenged. Now? Now he is surrounded by weak yes men. He is being cheered for his lack of morality. He is untethered and free to be the sadistic punk asshole he has always been. Regardless of the cost to humanity, he will fail.

Taking credit for Biden’s…

This oughta do it .. 👀

It’s a right that is older than the Magna Carta

"I don't care what the judges think" should be grounds for impeachment for any public official, but especially for key actors in the national security system.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Exactly! 🎯

Share if you agree. 🇨🇦 🇲🇽

Zelensky cares more about Ukraine and Ukrainians, present and future, than about himself or what people say about him. This makes him incomprehensible to people like Trump and Musk, who care only about their personal power and image. He is a living rebuke and it’s one reason they despise him.

MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting. Meanwhile:

Social Security is under attack. You worked hard. You paid in with every paycheck. You earned your Social Security. Now, Trump and the far-right want to gut federal services, delaying your benefits—all to bankroll massive tax cuts for their billionaire donors. We won’t let them get away with it.
