Utter failure to grasp what we are facing www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/u... 1. People lack the framework to recognize an attempt to overthrow the constitutional order 2. The lack of elites acting like point 1 is true makes it illegible. Without Ds behaving as if it's a crisis, it's not a crisis.

BREAKING: AOC blames crash on Trump / Elon “I represent LGA Airport as well as workers for JFK. Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week. Air traffic controllers, already understaffed, got Trump’s “buyout” this wk with a 1 wk ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI - it’s him. And Elon too.”

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

The media has failed the public on a crucial matter: the derangement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Often he is described in news reports as a vaccine skeptic, when he is far more than that. He is an extreme vaccine opponent.

The head of the FAA, Mike Whitaker, resigned on January 20 — one year into his 5 year term — after facing relentless criticism from Musk for not approving SpaceX missions quickly enough. The Senate confirmed him unanimously in 2023. No acting FAA head has been appointed.

"Trump is not a strong president. He is a weak president. He has authoritarian tendencies, but he’s weak. He’s mentally weak. He is vulnerable to all sorts of manipulation." On the pod, @timothynoah.bsky.social is good on why Trump's hold on power is actually fragile newrepublic.com/article/1909...

The President is asking rhetorical questions about what federal government aircraft was doing, as if there's someone else who is supposed to have the answer. This is his responsibility. If he doesn't even know the answers, it's because he and his unqualified appointees are incompetent.

I’m more disappointed in Albo than most. But the notion that the illiterate, racist thug and Queensland ex-cop Dutton would be a better PM is a joke. Dutton is a flake, an inch-deep cynical opportunist funded by fascists like Gina Rinehart. He needs to be kicked into the dustbin of history.

Dems can: -oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn -deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings -vote no on all cloture -force quorum calls at every chance It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

In May 2023 several of my novels got wrapped in plastic in bookshops, courtesy of the child protection law in #Hungary. One of my #youngadult #books had been on the shelves for 8 years before that law. Shops are afraid of the fine, which they can get because of ONE gay side character. #booksky #art

Here’s a tip for how this all works. First they go after those they hate, then those who don’t actively support them, then those who do but are not useful for them keeping power, then those who are useful but not in the most loyal faction, then…

I love #BlueSky. I really wish it had a Trending Australian News feed featuring independent news outlets and commentators. Could that be a thing? Maybe even an Asia-Pacific News Feed with reports from leading Asia-Pacific journals. #auspol #AusVotes2025 #JournalismMatters

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Americans are getting a crash course on what things look like when autocrats consolidate power and why it’s hard to beat them in the ballot box when every organization controlling speech is aligned with the ruling party.
