Shame on Republicans. They are complicit in this horror.

Lying for 2 hours straight won't solve any of the issues he's been underwater on for months. Everything is more expensive, corruption is rampant, and the Epstein Class gets richer while you get screwed. The lies you heard tonight won’t matter in November.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis. snyder.substack.com/p/ethnic-cle...

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. snyder.substack.com/p/lies-and-l...

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Some thoughts about the murder by ICE in Minnesota. This is the time for all of us to demand much better and to show what’s right.

In 1900, nearly 1 in 5 children in America died before age five. Vaccines changed that. But Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s lies are fueling a public health catastrophe. People will get sick. People will die. Science saves lives—misinformation kills.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

The assault on LA County by gangs of masked thugs - terrorizing people at their places of work - examplifies the Trump Regime, which is institutionalizing illegality, as I discussed here.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.
