One of the major problems with billionaires owning major media is that it literally does not matter if they are profitable. They can take a loss on them because the propaganda and narrative control is worth every penny.

Odds are Trump will try to privatize Social Security within the year. And he may well get away with it, unless we can wake up enough people to this coming scam and put enough political pressure—particularly on Republicans—to prevent it from happening.

This isn't going to get the attention of Columbia, but it's at least as bad: the University of Maine is having its funding cut off because the governor of Maine dared to challenge Trump.

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

Mass discontent can be powerless as long as the most rich and powerful are satisfied. When the economy tanks, the poor and "middle class" lose their property and those rich in capital buy it all up for pennies. Our kids will own nothing and rent everything.

If a university spokesperson was doing this it would be national news, and used as justification for the federal government to defund the university. The truth is that antisemitism is just one of the excuses they are using to justify destroying independent institutions.

Would like to note that the general tone on the skyline this morning has been way doomier and more pessimistic than it has been all week about the possibility of resistance. This is what the Democrats do to morale. This is what the Democrats are good at. Making resistance seem futile.

The road to authoritarianism is paved with this trope—the dire pending calamity that only the strongman has seen, and which only he can solve.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Read this great explainer alongside the McMahon memo about winding down the Ed Dept. Tl;dr - Big Ed Dept functions are created by law & located at Ed by law. Can’t undo that w/o 60 Senate votes. If/while law matters. (And follow/subscribe to @marisakabas.bsky.social who is doing the work).

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Deep Blue States love their cops. Look at Los Angeles -- paying deputies to be in gangs. Chicago -- paying cops to be white supremacists. This is the root of the problem, as I have been saying! Democrats love the police and have made them the killing force they are.

The border czar wants the FBI to arrest AOC. A Fox News contributor is calling journalist Mehdi Hasan a terrorist. Elon Musk said everyone at 60 Minutes should go to prison. You all see how quickly we’re descending into madness, right? It’s not subtle, slow, or anything but a premeditated scheme.
