This is a level of petty vindictiveness that it is difficult to imagine that anyone would ever stoop this slow. But then again, Trump never fails to surprise us. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I hope that someday soon we can find a way to assist people in their end of life decisions. It’s the humane, compassionate thing to do. This is a great piece worth reading. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Trump walks to Marine One to head to Mar-a-Lago to play golf on the taxpayers dime. This trip will cost us $3.1 million, which could be used by USAID to feed 710 starving children for a full year.

In a new era where Trump and his allies control all three branches of government and tech companies bend to their will, the technology you choose to use may be your last line of defense against digital surveillance.

This is why the public thinks the Democrats have no spine. They are useless. Other countries have an opposition party we have the capitulation Democrats. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Shut it down! Do not vote for this budget. Tell the public why, and make the MAGA maniacs go back to the drawing board. Shut it down! Vote no on the continuing resolution. Stand for something for once! Be the opposition.

Free Mahmoud Khalil. It's important to protect speech, even, perhaps especially, when we don't agree what's being said. If we don't support other people's First Amendment rights, then who will protect ours? We have to all be in this together.

It's been Bernie all along who should be leading the Democratic Party. There is no one like him. Unfortunately, the DNC thought he was "to radical." Idiots! www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

I thought doing nothing was what the Democrats were already doing. Or doing so little and looked like nothing. Is anyone still listening to James Carville? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

At Trump‘s state of the union address, the Democrats showed themselves to be the spineless, capitulating, weenies they really are. Holding up signs! Are you kidding me? You should’ve turned your backs on the man and walked out. History will judge you harshly for not putting up a serious fight.

Trump and his minions may succeed in undermining our democracy, and create a fascist dictatorship. History offers harsh lessons for dictators from Caesar to Mussolini. Once a country is ruined and its resources plundered, the people and the military turn on them with fatal results. Beware Donald!

I’ve been wondering about Fetterman for a while. Once he made that comment that there is no constitutional crisis, I knew he’d grown around the bend. He appears to be another sellout to Trump. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The AI race is similar to the nuclear arms race with the singular difference being that nuclear weapons couldn’t launch themselves. This is an important read and in line with Yuval Harrari’s perspective on AI. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Brilliant analysis of the global implications of Trump’s policies. The irony of course is that while he claims he’s making America “stronger,“ he is assuring our demise. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

To truly understand how things have gone so wrong in the US, you have to understand the "paradox" of democracy. Media can be manipulated to persuade individuals. This is true since oratory was the medium and more so now with social media. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...
