I honestly feel bad for the troops today. They didn’t ask to be used as political props to boost one man’s ego on his birthday. They had managed to acknowledge the Army’s birthday just fine every year without this expensive boondoggle that is poorly attended downtown.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Corporate media has truly failed us. Obsessed with access and focused on nothing more than their monetary perks and book deals, they'll happily slow walk us into the dismantling of the Republic if it means they still get Oval Office exclusives. Support independent media.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

The combo of the DC Circuit AP ruling -- by a 2-1 margin w the 2 most conservative members of the court--and the 2 6-3 Sup Court DOGE rulings--on the emergency docket--make up the very sort of day many (inc me) feared in Trump 2.0. Fine-grained and procedural but clearly big victories for Admin.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
