True then. Still true now. Even more so. We have a lot of work to do to repair all the damage his selfishness unleashed over the ensuing quarter century. But we need to do it. VOTE AS IF YOUR DEMOCRACY DEPENDS ON IT. BECAUSE IT DOES!

Ralph Nader is still a pariah. He deserves to be.
Tilting the ‘00 race to Bush was his original sin. We’re still suffering the consequences.

No LITTLE BIG HORN in the District of Columbia. Trump wants to turn his big arch into a military fortress complete with snipers to keep control of all the rebellious natives, you know, those who do revolting things such as shop Sundays at the Dupont Circle Farmers Market.

MARSHALL IS TOAST! BECAUSE NOTHING IS NOW WRONG WITH KANSAS! And by national security, presumably he means a lost war in Iran, with almost all of our bases in the middle east utterly destroyed, and the world economy teetering on a knife edge! That should get him a lot of votes!

This young guy is incredible. About 2/3 of the way through this video, he adds together rhythm, harmony, and melody, and produces a composition that seems impossible for only two hands and one instrument!

Trump and Hegseth have lost all of our bases in the Middle East, about 25 of them, destroyed by Trump‘s fragile insecure need to wage a purposeless war with no strategy and no exit plan. Well, the exit Trump now badly needs was just what Osama bin Laden wanted: utter destruction of our bases.

Osama bin Laden’s dream come true: U.S. bases on the Arabian Peninsula are gone.
It took him 25 years, but Osama bin Laden is winning his war on the Great Satan. He wanted to bring to an end the U.S.

AI: costing trillions. AI: generating revenue of only millions. AI: raising money on hyped future. AI: facing lower cost competition that hinders raising money impairing stock price. SOLUTION: frighten world about killing us then ask to be regulated to protect monopoly and high stock price.

Artificial Intelligence (statistical inference) is great for weather forecasting. Artificial Intelligence (statistical inference) is terrible for deciding whom to stop and frisk. Ask: Whom does AI benefit and what does it do TO others, especially those who don’t benefit from it?

THIS 👇 Missouri's Supreme Court just advised Secretary of State Denny Hoskins to not "venture far from Jefferson City" until it rules on whether to hold him in contempt for violating the Court's ruling. The Secretary and the Attorney General would not commit to using the legal map.

Don’t worry about the paywall—enough information in the screenshot! This Republican Senator representing Kansas (he actually lives in Florida) wants to be reelected. Democrat Adam Hamilton is giving him a run for his money. This and similar stories circulating in Kansas aren’t helping Marshall.

Lesson of AfD’s 44% vote in regional election in Germany? It is not sufficient for centrist and leftist parties to seek votes by claiming they are lesser evils than AfD. That did not work yesterday in Germany and it will not work anywhere anymore. Needed: broad progressive policy manifestos.

It would be an extraordinary usurpation of state sovereignty for the United States Supreme Court to grant Missouri‘s application for a stay. Granting a stay would put into effect for the first time a statute that has never, even for a minute, been in effect in Missouri.  #Chuckhatfield.bsky.social

Trump sends a wildcat oil drilling outfit to Southeast Greenland. They have no permit to drill. They drill anyway! Greenland sends law enforcement to shut down the operation and expel the outfit. Trump deems that an act of war, sends troops, invades Greenland, and tries to take it over. WAR!

Segregated along a street for generations, our community has made progress in eliminating these barriers. But as demanded by Trump and adopted by MAGA, old segregationist practices have been revived. Making America white again.
