A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t you try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

Trump uses the pretext of war (which doesn't exist) with Tren de Aragua (to which these people don't belong) to justify seizing these people and placing them in a concentration camp. But then of course taking "trophy photos" of the prisoners constitutes a grave violation of the Geneva Conventions.

Worth noting that that one weapons program, the F-35, is responsible for well more than a trillion dollars of our national debt. And counting. And it’s already obsolete.

NEW: AOC in Vegas. Major challenge to Dem leadership🔥 “If you’re willing to fight for someone you don’t know, you’re welcome here. But I will say this: Those leaders on either side of aisle willing to put their fellow Americans down so they can get ahead; they may best find a home somewhere else.”

As a Jewish faculty member at one of these institutions, I am saying right now, in the clearest tones possible: not in my name. This violent exploitation of Jews as an alibi for achieving Fascist ends is itself textbook antisemitism.

The actual trajectory of Democratic opposition to Trump since 2016 is that Democrats first engaged in #resistance and cultural progressivism, won the House in 2018, defeated Trump and won a trifecta the year of the George Floyd protests, tacked right under Biden, and lost in 2024.

The reason Russia is an adversary today is because 3 decades ago the Bush and Clinton administrations sent an army of vulture capitalists to dismember the carcass of the Soviet Union, at one point reducing Russian GDP to less than that of Portugal. What if we’d instituted another Marshall Plan?

Garland had a responsibility to go after the coup leaders and chose not to do so until it was far too late, complying with a precedent set by Jerry Ford when he pardoned Richard Nixon.

It’s a statistical certainty that a great many of Trump’s 1461 pardoned rioters will again commit violent crimes. Who will be blamed?

The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the common front against fascism. -Vice President Henry Wallace, 1941- 1945

Leave aside the public nature of this pathetic attempt at a slip fight w/ a world leader. Focus just on the first word of his tweet: “Girl”. He means this to diminish any person he might address. For him, the condition of womanhood is subhuman. That’s pretty much all you need to know about him.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million. That is a lie. The budget was actually increased by $50 million.

The insane thing about climate coverage is it’s considered “political” because the perpetrators are paying politicians to get away with it.
