When I retire I want all of y'all to write it up just like this.

Spent an excellent evening listening to, and talking with, @colinwoodard.bsky.social last evening. An enlightening lecture and some brilliant follow-up questions and discussion.

Like, for example, a Secretary of Defense citing a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction to promote wars of aggression.

Me in 2019: "Trump’s sociopathic tendencies are simply an extension of his extreme narcissism. Take the pathological lying. …. As Lance Dodes has put it, 'People like Donald Trump who have severe narcissistic disturbances can’t tolerate being criticized, so …

But, we’re not arresting them, because…

FYI to MAGA, this is a bad sign…

Did she talk about the Iranian children her husband got killed this weekend?

This is amazing.

Nine Inch Nails - Something I Can Never Have (Acoustic, Trent’s House, New Orleans 2001) youtu.be/r6b_f0uF1EM?...

The “depths of legal arguments not yet articulated…” is MAGA speak for ‘I will make shit up.’

"We learned your French. We learned your English, your Dutch, your Spanish, your Portuguese. you learned our nothing, you called us stupid. that's white privilege" ~ Kyla Jenée Lacey

This will be her legacy.

The fuck we’re not.

Whistleblower puts Tulsi on notice that he will go to Congress himself if her office doesn’t respond by Friday.

Reporter: 1.4 billion, really closer to 1.5. I studied Donald Trump's finances, and this amount the Trump family made last year is greater than the sum total of everything he ever made in his whole life.

Apparently, ICE has stopped paying the contractors that provide medical care to detainees? No payment since October and none planned before April? 73,000 people detained with little to no medical care. Deplorable.

So, they’re fundraising from non-citizens? Can tell if the stupidity or the threats are worse…

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

I, very briefly, worked as a child model for Valentino in Rome. One of the gigs I did was a catwalk test for Garavani. I remember how kind he was to everyone (although he would not give me grey cape I had one at one point…)

@ezraklein.bsky.social said Charlie Kirk did politics the right way and admired what he built.

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump has granted clemency to Rep. Steve Womak’s (R-AR) son who was in prison for dealing meth. MAGA: Don’t ever tell me anything Trump has done in the Caribbean or elsewhere has ever been about drugs.

OMG, why does anyone think he is anything but a grifter and a charlatan?

Oh yeah, this will help. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Zac Kinney shared this photo from the second of two ICE deportation flights at MSP today - one of the 47 deportees was still in their Amazon uniform. (I counted 127 deportees on the first flight)

What the fuck is this? ICE is going to start bombing people?

Well, he got one part right. We are the predator of the West.

New Countries For Old Man

FYI: In 1916 the U.S. signed an agreement for control of St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix, known as the “Danish West Indies,” in exchange for $25 million & a declaration that the U.S. would “not object to the Danish Govt extending their political & economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Liberty as a Mask. Salem, MA.

😂😂😂

@cityofsalemma.bsky.social Tremont St. up the hill from Mason, before Japonica. Hole in the road that is going to blow out someone’s tires.

Now, about that 25th Amendment…

This is totally underreported. Trump is not just going after "illegals." He's going after people who were here legally, by changing their status. These are people who entered the US the right way, and never broke a law. Now they are subject to Trump's whim, his ICE goons, and inhuman detention.

Cowards.

Nope, still embarrassed. Now more than ever.

In Boston, we like our protests with a whole lot of history. #teaparty #dumpICE #Dec16

His “administration” is supposed to be all about cutting costs. Sounds like this project should be cancelled.

2026. Empty the House.

So, texting war plans, not secret. Video of a past event that everyone knows about, secret. Got it.

Tell me you’re guilty without telling me you’re guilty. Exclusive: US threatens new ICC sanctions unless court pledges not to prosecute Trump - www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

🤣

It’s not the fake videos, you ghoul. It’s the videos the media refused to show anyone. It’s the videos Israel refused to allow to be seen. It’s US foreign policy at its peak failure (yours included).

He doesn’t care about you.

Can’t leave witnesses who may prove their innocence…
