To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

Does your child want to go to college, want to go to med or grad school? The new cures for diseases, new technologies that we depend on come out of universities. #Trump, #Musk, #Vought are now killing higher education. If you haven't been paying attention, this would be a good time to wake up.

Sure, the USPS has problems. But we can't give up on it I was living in Guatemala when its national postal service shut down. It's never come back, and its absence enabled massive import fraud. Everyone loses when public services close.

This is exactly how Hitler talked. It's not even a comparison or analogy, as people claim. It's a direct connection in ideology as well as a similar approach to governance and relationship to democracy. This needs to be how we talk about it. They are the ideological descendants of Hitler.

Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

I can't believe he said this on air, but it would be more accurate to say they're waging war on truth. “We are waging a 21st century information warfare campaign against the left.” -- Fox News' Jesse Watters thehill.com/homenews/med...

it’s the same urge that led Snopes to craft that horseshit article making the case that Trump didn’t defend the Charlottesville-invading Nazis during his “very fine people” speech, even though that’s exactly what he did.

WATCH: “Trump is lying on a scale that's almost impossible to compute... it's extraordinary… the President of 🇺🇸 is peddling pro-Putin propaganda.” @mrjamesob.bsky.social reacts to Trump blaming Ukraine for Russia’s invasion and giving Putin everything he wants.

"Trump is under no obligation to support Ukraine. If he doesn’t, he doesn’t. But doing so while accusing Ukraine of being the aggressor in the most unjustified, pitiless, and brutal war of aggression in our time is an act of infamy almost without parallel." www.commentary.org/john-podhore...

71 years old and finally achieving his dream of killing children. Not just some children here or there, like he's been doing, but thousands of children annually, systematically, by destroying one of the pillars of public health, one of the greatest achievements of humanity.
