This, right here..

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

If cartels are "terrorists" and fentanyl is a "WMD," then those terms have no meaning. Also, Trump is probably going to invade two of our allies soon.

My post on the lack of participation in the pro-democracy, anti-Trump protests is up on Substack. Enjoy! open.substack.com/pub/stuarth2...

In Chicago, a U.S. citizen was arrested, handcuffed, and spent most of the night at an ICE processing center. After buying pizza, he says, ICE agents "handcuffed me and pushed me into a white van where other people were handcuffed as well.” Other people arrested are still detained.

Irish American excellence always

A three-year old, his mother, and his grandmother were speaking Spanish while shopping at a department store in Milwaukee. They’re U.S. citizens from Puerto Rico, but were taken by ICE. Held for 10 hours and released with no paperwork concerning arrest. www.telemundopr.com/programas/di...

Tulsi Gabbard tells NDTV that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are the very best of friends and that this fact will define the new relationship between Russia and America. Only a few hours later this is rebroadcast on Kremlin TV as evidence of Putin's success. www.ndtv.com/world-news/t...

AG Pam Bondi announces that the US has no concerns about war crimes, including the kidnapping of children, in Ukraine and therefore DOJ is withdrawing from the prosecutorial working group connected with these crimes. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/u...

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

More of this, please. A LOT more of this, please.

“The US spent 8 decades building an international system of rules, norms and values that has produced the longest period of great power peace and global prosperity in human history.” Fareed Zakaria on how upending the world order will only weaken America: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Well that’s a headline I did not except to see. Ever.

One of the best photos I have seen in response to “why don’t you wear a suit”

This is important.

I KNEW the auto pen conspiracy theory was not a new accusation. Because Republicans are nothing if not unoriginal. www.npr.org/2011/05/27/1...

I'm just saying..

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.

This is how we know we are in the Upside Down.

FBI telling Citibank to freeze accounts of Habitat for Humanity, the United Way, and the State of NY Dept of Taxation, among a few dozen others.

A complex and confusing scheme whose myriad corrupt dimensions would take, I don’t know, a second-grader to sniff out

Can someone with a military background explain why this isn’t an act of war? The victim is a “US-flagged” vessel “at anchor in the North Sea and carrying huge amounts of jet fuel for the US military.” The deliberate attack’s aggressor is a Russian captain.

This WSJ Opinion piece is exactly right RFK Jr. has financially benefitted enormously from his antivax activities He is disingenuous about the evidence on vaccines and medical treatments And is dangerous to the health of American children www.wsj.com/opinion/rfk-...

one of the reasons why South Koreans were able to mobilize rapidly to save democracy against Yoon's coup, and were able to stay on the streets for weeks to prevent Park's coup, was because protesting there is *super-organized* and regular

Hanging in there, right? Keep it up 👊🏽

Fascism is here. The list of words Trump is banning from government is the most stunning document of our time. Click the image below to see how many words Trump and Musk have canceled as part of their new Reich. 🔗: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

TL;DR: What does the U.S. need? More housing. What’s needed to build housing? Steel and aluminum. Where do we get a lot of it from? Canada. What did Trump just raise massive 50% import taxes on? Steel and aluminum from Canada. We can't afford this pointless trade war.

I called it - EM blamed Ukraine for the “cyber attack on X” Next thing I predict (which we will never know for sure as they’ll hide it): he turned it off himself.

Why would anyone trust Russia

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...

Being an asshole has consequences.

Raskin: "This is what Viktor Orban has done in Hungary -- to clear out the civil service with real expert professionals and people devoted to the public interest and replace them with a bunch of party hacks and sycophants to the dear leader."

I keep returning to Chad- 13 times so far Climate crisis hit Africa hard. In some areas it hasn’t rained for years. Crops wont grow. Ppl starve. Babies die first. If an aid group comes, they bring life saving nutrients & medicines. Now USAid is shuttered, countless children will die

🔥 #DOGE Cuts Consequences: Carolina #Wildfires 🔥 The Carolinas will need FEMA help. Will anyone be there to answer the phone? 200 employees already axed—far more coming. A FEMA internal email reads, “Direction is to make a list of anyone who worked on or works on climate, environmental justice,”
