RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Excellent by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

Dear Canada and Mexico, We’re so, so sorry. — Sane America

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Gotta love the British press.

Anyone who says this was NOT a Nazi salute can — with all due respect — fuck off.

It’s so creepy that even my local news is stating it like this. Is it just me?

In January 20, 1961, the temperature at noon was 22 degrees and 8 inches of snow had fallen in the morning. John F. Kennedy still had his inauguration on the steps of the Capitol.

We can talk about his face in a minute, but check out that chyron.

Sad but fucking true

My first visit to Aruba. It seems like it really is a happy little island. Met some lovely Europeans on the boat who simply can not believe what America is doing to itself.

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but I’m pretty sure our president shouldn’t be a rapist, our DNI shouldn’t be on a TSA watchlist list and our head of counterintelligence should probably be able to pass a background check. Right?

Please try to absorb these insane ideas from Leon and Vivek www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

He’ll forever be guilty.

I see how that works, yes. Do you?

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

Leak the report. Pass it on.

NEW: Private schools across the South that were established for white children during desegregation are now benefiting from tens of millions in taxpayer dollars flowing from rapidly expanding voucher-style programs, a @propublica analysis found. www.propublica.org/article/segr...

"Each of Trump's proposed appointments is a surprise. It is comforting to think that he is simply a vengeful old man, lashing out. This is unlikely. He and Musk and Putin have been talking for years. The whole idea of his campaign was that this time he had a plan" snyder.substack.com/p/decapitati...

Gas today, $2.99/gallon. Posting for posterity.

Best description I’ve ever heard.

So, Michelle Obama’s plan to make America healthier is finally gaining support among republicans?
