Mostly honest, usually compassionate, kind acts more often than kind-hearted. Sober since 1992 thanks to a daily practice. Reading, writing, ham radio, bicycles, walking, guitar-ish. Love my dogs, wife, kid, and grands, in no particular order. Fuck Trump.

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

When you suddenly start tearing through the air safety bureaucracy with an ax after two decades-plus of near perfect US commercial air safety any plane that suddenly careens out of the sky is probably on you.

Trump’s pink bald head was on full display at the DC crash presser this morning. Now I understand why he’d rather look straight at the camera and ad lib rather than read something laying on the podium.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

There was a moment last night when folks were pointing out that the FAA had no head because he ahd been pushed out, and MAGA media was apoplectic that folks would make politics of the moment. Fine. Fair. Then Trump comes out 12 hours later and blames it all on DEI and Buttigieg.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Did the fuckwad felon just accuse Pete Buttigieg of having a part in the crash in DC and call the work he did as Transportation Secretary, “bullshit?”

An incredible insight into Elon Musk, including the "salutes", from someone who knows him well, First and foremost, I have researched this and confirmed that Philip Low is who he says he is. This is what he has to say (link in comment, can't put full post here because 140 char limit..grrr)

Members of Congress who “get it” on Trump’s firing of the IGs oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

So the Dems are aligned in using the Hegspeth allegations to oppose him. Dumb. The man is not qualified for the job. That is all that matters. He has never managed more than 100 people. He won't be the actual one running DOD because he has no clue how. And this is what the Dems focus on ?

Dems, you’ve to get past the moral outrage and focus on the disqualifying facts. Ask hard questions about how a candidate would handle hard situations. Ask them questions that make it clear they aren’t qualified. You aren’t proving anything by exploring affairs, drinking, and mismanagement.

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.

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false. As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

We don’t forget. This is what January 6th is:

bozo bezos

The Oval Office is back on the market…

A jury of 12 of his peers who heard all of the evidence and had the opportunity to hear his lawyers argue against it unanimously agreed that he was guilty. Prosecutors can't make that happen, nor can judges. That's our criminal justice system in action. The jurors found Trump guilty.

In 1979, Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House. In 1986, Ronald Reagan tore them down along w/Carter’s clean energy funding. This sums up the difference between the two men & political parties. Investing in solutions for the future vs canceling progress to score political points.

“I’ve never had a cartoon killed because of who or what I chose to aim my pen at. Until now.” Why Ann Telnaes quit her editorial cartoonist job at the Washington Post and why she’s my newest hero anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

In 50 years, Trump will be an embarrassing historical aberration. And Cheney will be a hero.

Good point. “Me talk pretty…” is not the way to win friends or influence anyone, no matter how smart (superior) it makes you feel.

That’s the wisdom of experience speaking

May the total implosion be loudly humiliating and soon.

This is my beloved friend Hunter Biden on stage with me at the Nantucket Project. Maybe you would like to see who he actually is. I assume there will be some of the most insane hateful MAGA comments of my career. Not my problem. vimeo.com/1041313108/4...

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So, this week I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

I'm excited to announce @skyseed.fund, the world's first incubator & fund exclusively focused on Bluesky and @atproto.com. We're just getting started but have $1 Million in committed capital, and will be doing developer grants as well as pre-seed/seed funding. www.prweb.com/releases/ope...

This is quite good.

It takes one to know one: Pete Hegseth is an alcoholic.
