This hasn't gotten enough attention. Very effective questioning by Rep. @crow.house.gov in span of 3 mins 1. exposes how Hegseth endangered servicemembers' lives 2. shows that a scandal upon the scandal is the failure to take responsibility Crow is a U.S. Army veteran (Bronze Star Medal)

"we are abolishing refugee and asylum claims, and doing our best to abolish legal immigration, except for Afrikaner farmers alleging discrimination" is so impossibly on the nose that it's hard to believe it's real even once you've set your expectations to what you thought was as low as possible.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

If you think Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race doesn’t affect you just because you don’t live there—think again. If Musk pulls this off, it’s one step closer to him buying an election near you. Got friends, family, or even followers in Wisconsin? Tell them to get out and vote the right way. 📢

A reminder that Bill Maher has long been an antivaxxer and AIDS denier and helped mainstream the “do your own research” culture now dismantling public health. He is also a good friend of RFK Jr. It’s time for the media to stop giving him a platform. You are not entitled to your own facts.

I have said since Trump starting laying the groundwork for the Big Lie in the first part of 2020 that he would not leave office willingly. I have been correct so far. And I'm telling you again he will not leave office willingly. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Sure, the show that's gone out of its way this season to underscore that rich people are deeply broken assholes, that old white guys with too-young wives are creeeeeeepy, that therapy is important, and that Buddhism represents the true path to happiness is, uh, "post-'woke'" or whatever.

I honestly think the US is going to be lot less powerful for the rest of my life. You can’t fix this damage quickly. It’s like our own Brexit but more extreme and dumber

Our democracy is being dismantled and our populace is being terrorized by a clown car of pricks who’ve never known kindness, empathy, humor, rhythm, style, or consensual sex without the exchange of money or favors.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

I wish more Americans had enough self-respect to be offended when a politician constantly lied to them for an entire decade.

To state that violently abusing & killing fellow sentient animals is ‘natural’ is an attempt to evade ethics & a poor excuse for cruelty. It’s a false claim that suppressing our innate empathy & sidestepping our moral agency is part of some preordained, immutable cosmic order.

This thread is WILD. It appears as though the tattoos pictured in Trump’s Tren de Aragua checklist for deportation were all lifted from UK tattoo artists’ Instagram pages. Not a single one is from an actual gang member.

If you believe Trump is joking about wanting to become a dictator after everything we've lived through -- including a failed coup attempt! -- I do not know what to tell you. He has also been lying about his poll numbers for his entire career. None of this should be surprising.

The greatest threat to Donald Trump’s authoritarian dream is not the courts — it is free and fair elections. While the courts can stand in the way of his twisted vision for America, they can never completely halt it. Trump knows this. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago. Where have most of the gains gone? To the top. Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity. This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.
