I'm reminded of the number of times in graduate school and during my early career where I heard supposedly rigorous scholars dismiss work on racism as too radical or unserious. “Things have changed” they assured me.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

There is no way in hell the United States under the Trump regime can host the World Cup in a few months. They are murdering citizens in broad daylight, threatening war against NATO, and lawlessly kidnapping children and foreign heads of state. The world has to organize a boycott. It’s not safe.

How hard is it for a jackboot army to invade election places and seize the machines? State and local police will be needed to stop them — or better, deter them with shows of force. Make no mistake. Trump will try everything to stop fair elections in 2026.

If Dems can’t argue against the outcome here, their opposition to the process will be narrow and legalistic. Yet obviously if Trump HAD come to Congress, it would have been incumbent upon Democrats to deny him authorization, because the policy is fucking insane. www.offmessage.net/p/30-thought...

Pollster: Trump's net approval rating among voters under the age of 30 is going into a deep, dark black hole. Look at that, -46. That is a shift on the net approval of 56 points in the wrong direction since February. We almost never see drops this big, this quickly.

Ok, Senate Dems, this is pretty simple. Get a vote first on extending the ACA subsidies for the duration of the Big Ugly Bill. House votes too. Both pass it. And Trump signs it. Then, and only then, vote to reopen the government. Otherwise, you’ll be Lucy with the football … with Trump insults.
