Tom Friedman: "This is a total perversion of U.S. foreign policy practiced by every president since World War I. My fellow Americans, we are in completely uncharted waters, led by a president, who — well, I cannot believe he is a Russian agent, but he sure plays one on TV."

Here's what the idiots in the White House utterly fail to comprehend. They and the US came out of that argument weaker. Zelensky came out stronger, with Europe rallying behind Ukraine more than before. They came out looking like petulant idiots; he came out looking like a leader with integrity.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

More of this, please! We need law professors with integrity and backbone to call out colleagues who attempt to launder Trump’s unconstitutional cruelty through bullshit originalism. And to do so in blunt terms without the cloak of polite formalisms that obscure the depths of hackery on display.

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

More measles cases in the U.S, this time in Kentucky and New Jersey. Officials say they don’t believe they’re linked to the Texas outbreak, but stress the importance of vaccination. Remember if you get measles, it can wipe out previous vaccines & immunity. Respirators work well too!

Democracy is in retreat globally. In the United States, we often believe it can’t happen here — even while it’s happening here. I wrote this @freepress.bsky.social guide on the red flags of authoritarianism so we can spot and fight back. We have power. Let’s use it:

Half of New Yorkers are rent-burdened, with a third spending over half their income on rent. Fewer than 1% of vacant units are available for less than $1,500/month. By treating housing as a public good, we can ensure that all New Yorkers have a home they can afford.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.
