MEUSER: You've got Trudeau saying how the president is making a dumb move. That's bad diplomacy. SANCHEZ: I'm not sure how it's good diplomacy to say that a neighboring country should be the 51st state and that you're gonna impose economic hardship to achieve that goal.

This is a pretty big attack on the First Amendment. And an encroachment on universities' powers to decide what protests to allow and who to expel.....

Trump isn’t going to end the war in Ukraine. He’s going to make it easier for Russia to keep what it stole and greenlight Putin to go after other countries.

Q: In dealings with Trump, why don’t other politicians and leaders treat him like the totally misguided, debauched, power hungry narcissist that he is? He is SO unfit. A: Maybe extortion? 🤔

A creative project for a cartoonist would be a riff on the Looney Tunes banner that featured Trump and some of his cronies. It should say Looney Tycoons.

Absolutely incredible, fascinating research on the gender divide - globally, big data - and a brilliant Substack digest from @draliceevans.bsky.social: “global analysis reveals that cross-gender friendships remain rare in societies where male honour depends on female seclusion.”

Why does a 38-year old U.S. Attorney in SDNY, who is also a die hard conservative, have more guts and integrity than the entirety of the GOP Senate Conference combined?! Shame on the shameless sycophants and enablers there, who can’t find the spine to stand up to common MAGA bullies.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
