Harvard rejected policy changes demanded by Trump — becoming the first university to refuse to comply with the regime’s demands. Now it's suing the regime. Other institutions, firms, and individuals should take note. Surrendering to Trump’s tyranny only invites more of it.

Top Republican Brutally Heckled at Town Hall Over Trump Not Following Supreme Court Order: ‘I’m Pissed!’ https://twp.ai/4imbTQ

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Bukele and Trump are the terrorists.

Trump has fully turned on Zelenskyy: "He's always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know you can win a war. You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles."

We haven’t reached bottom yet. Because there is no bottom to his moral depravity.

Trump is denying due process to foreign nationals here legally before ripping them from their families and deporting them. Do we really believe this regime will follow any sort of due process for American citizens before Trump tries to deport them? Call it what it is: fascism.

A fantastic writer. I read everything I could get my hands on.

Chaos is the #Trump brand.

@warren.senate.gov: "This is the Trump administration. Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous for the billionaires. Billionaires win and everybody else loses. And they laugh about it."

Senator Sanders and Reps. Ocasio-Cortes, Jayapal, and Khanna rising to the occasion.

Hannah Arendt summed up Trump-style authoritarians and their lemmings perfectly with this quote: “The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that…one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day… 1/

This is how Kaganovich talked about Stalin.

They’re all convincing themselves the US was never a democracy to begin with. It’s wild to see in real time.

WTF!

Republicans, Democrats, Independents - Trump expects us all to lay down while he steamrolls over our lives and liberties. Fuck that, and fuck him.

Who says Trump isn't following through on lowering prices?

Robert Morris, the founder of a Texas megachurch and a former faith adviser to the Trump White House, was indicted Wednesday on charges that he molested a girl over several years in the 1980s, the Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office said.

Saying it doesn’t make it so. 1) He’s stopped our cyber security against Russia. 2) He’s stopped sharing Russian intelligence with Ukraine. 3) He’s going to lift sanctions on Russian oligarchs. 4) He’s stopped military supplies to Ukraine. 5) He’s called Z a dictator. Fox won’t call him out.

US suspends all military aid to Ukraine, reports say, in wake of Trump-Zelenskyy row

Interesting development in the #DOGE story.

I didn't think I was capable of feeling any more shame for what America has become. I was wrong.

After a meeting between Pres. Zelensky and Pres. Trump ended in disaster, an administration official said the U.S. might cut off all aid to Ukraine completely -- even canceling arms shipments already authorized and paid for www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/u...

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

Trump and Vance are part of the tiny percentage of Americans who sympathize more with Russia (4%) than Ukraine (62%) and who view Putin more favorably (75% unfavorable) than Zelensky (28% unfavorable) today.yougov.com/politics/art...

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

The Atlantic writer Anne Applebaum says President Trump's dismantling of the U.S. civil service system, and his attacks on judges and his opponents, are part of a playbook on undermining democracy. 🎧 tinyurl.com/3w32xujf

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)
