1976. This is how a President should communicate, not just in a landmark anniversary year — but always. “I miss the America I grew up in,” indeed. 🇺🇸

Exerpt from President Eisenhower’s farewell speech, January 17, 1961. The entire speech is excellent, but this part of was intended for future generations to hear. And here we are. We are that audience.

What to do when you see this happening: For Republicans - keep moving, keep your head down, don’t get involved - because nothing matters if it isn’t happening to you..right? For everyone else: Get your phones out and record it; this revolting timeline needs to be documented.

When is the military being sent to Mississippi to deal with the out-of-control crime there? people.com/8-dead-over-...

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

🙄

Agree this is shocking, but I find it historically unsurprising. While American democracy had deeper roots and more guardrails than Germany in 1933, the U.S. has been subject to destructive capitalist forces in recent years which have left the Republic only lightly defended. 🧵

WTF?

Given how much of the Department of Justice is focused much more on protecting Trump than the country, I can’t imagine what’s cooking in the worlds of crime and terror right now.

Trump watched the movie ‘Escape from Alcatraz’ on TV the night before announcing he wants to reopen it as a prison. 🙄

Booker finally yields after more than 25 hours of speaking 👏👏👏

This amoral creep went to the G7 meeting in Canada to “stand by our allies” while blithely parroting the administration’s policy that our closest ally should cease to exist.🤦🏻‍♂️

Beautiful country, beautiful weather, beautiful message: “NO TO TRUMP” The people of Greenland are making their voice heard today. 🇬🇱🇩🇰🇪🇺👏 (🎥 Orla Joelsen)

Carney: Canada never ever will be part of America in any way, shape, or form. We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them. Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

This absolutely broke me. #SlavaUkraine🇺🇦 🧵(1/3)

Kash Patel—yes, that Kash Patel, the bug-eyed Trump lackey who looks like a central casting version of that bug eyes guy in Men in Black—is now the FBI Director. And in his infinite MAGA wisdom, he wants to enhance the FBI’s ranks with help from… the UFC.

Many understandably struggling to believe Trump actually posted this video (despite all the evidence he is depraved enough to do so). But here it is, currently pinned to his Truth Social account Psychopath. 👇

Any Dem comms team that doesn’t cut ads in 2026 featuring -Trump mumbling nonsense about egg prices -a coked out Elon Musk mugging for the cameras with a chainsaw -every CPAC speaker all but saying “I am a Nazi now” should be summarily fired

Trump on Canada: "I spoke to Governor Trudeau ... they don't have military protection, and you take a look at what's going on out there ... people are in danger ... they need our protection."

Trump is a clown. A figurehead puppet controlled by oligarchs as they attempt to seize power and finalize a new society in which they transcend liberal democracy and claim total control. It’s time we understood that reality and fought back accordingly. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-mad-ki...

It’s important to track these criminals. 👇

“None of this is normal & it’s our job to keep it from being normalized. Presidents don’t try to erase the Constitution or turn the federal bureaucracy into a loyalty corps. They don’t release violent criminals from prison so they can return the favor.” joycevance.substack.com/p/trumps-day...

Heads up: Facebook has set many users’ FB pages to follow pages like these (actual screenshot from my FB page’s “about” section). Report the pages for “bullying & abuse” then block them.

Despite patriarchy's persistence, growing numbers of men believe they have it worse off than women. And, new research shows this "male victimhood" ideology is most common among men who aren't facing hardship. Which means what they're really feeling is status loss. 1/ www.psypost.org/male-victimh...

The only thing that spreads faster than a wildfire is internet disinformation it seems. Here’s a debunk of the lies. meidasnews.com/news/fact-ch...

This is what the incoming president is doing. Taking some misguided victory lap as LA burns. Has he uttered a single well wish for the millions of people in this city or is that only reserved for those who display sufficient fealty?

If Democrats want to start winning elections again, we need to talk to white men like we’re actually trying to earn their vote.

Republicans Pour Gasoline on California as it Burns From Devastating Wildfires Instead of compassion, prayers, and help, Donald Trump & Republicans offer contempt, lies, & racism as the most populous state in the nation tries to survive devastating fires. thelefthook.substack.com/p/republican...
