All Trump’s overseas assets should be frozen. Hotels. Golf courses. Offshore accounts. Should not be permitted to enter the territories of the countries that are parties to ICC.

When -- not if, when -- Republicans respond to their losses this fall by crying about "voter fraud" and demanding Congress or the courts review the results, we have good lawyers and elected officials ready to push back. But the rest of us need to take a page from 2000 and mock them as sore losers.

So, the reason we mock horrible fascists is not to make fascists change their minds. It is to show they are mockable. It breaks the veneer of respectability and power. It gives others social permission to mock them. Satire is poisonous to power because it makes opposition both fun and collaborative.

In one stupid phone call to Putin on his birthday, Trump gave him EVERYTHING. He normalized Russian fuel exports, showed contempt for the Lindsey Graham Russian sanctions act he just signed into law, shifted blame to Ukraine, and gave Putin a lifeline by allowing spare parts for his refineries.🙄🤬

I am generally quite opposed to posting AI slop unless it is: 1) Obvious satire and therefore not suggestive of any effort to falsify or mislead. And... 2) really fucking funny.

The administration keeps telling us that ICE is in our cities to make us all feel safe, but if they're goons in plainclothes bum rushing vehicles with guns and pounding on the windows, how exactly does that make anyone feel safe?

So let me know if you want to come to a virtual talk next wk on “Reimagining Leadership.“ Time tbd. The focus is on cultivating critical, creative, and caring capacities in medicine, but I think it applies beyond that. I’m pretty sure we can do this without any leaders.

Trump announces that the U.S. will buy Russian oil. This is just a few weeks after Trump signed the Lindsey Graham Russia Sanctions bill, which authorized him to place 100% tariffs on countries that are the biggest importers of Russian oil/gas. Are we going to tariff ourselves now?

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

"Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat.
ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers.
First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident.
"There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident.
In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.
ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency.
It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”
