Would all the (sane) libertarian think-tanks please stop yammering on about "free enterprise" for a few minutes and take a look at the MASSIVE erosion of liberty happening under Trump, pretty-please? (p.s. free enterprise is wonderful, but...)

Three rules in FBI firearm training: 1. Always point your weapon downrange 2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

I guess you don't *have* to be a racist to support the Trump regime, but it sure must help.

Two kinds of Americans right now. Ones who are collaborating with the racists, and the ones who are resisting.

Those folks oughta read Exit, Voice, and Loyalty, the classic by Albert O. Hirschman. "Exit" is pretty clearly not the answer in this case.

Just sat in on a webinar by some insurance analysts -- you know, the folks that earn their living by being right about risks. They said "You won't find climate change deniers working at insurance companies." That should mean something to folks. #climatechange

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

@tps.ca Question: on Dupont around Christie this morning there is road construction going on -- fenced off by pylons declaring "Police Emergency". Real emergency?

“The grass is greener…”. I get your point but in fact no reason to think that conservatives have any solutions to this (nor to think that there is anything like a true epidemic of crime)

Every Trump supporter needs to hear these words: Americans and Canadians fought side by side in WWII *against* leaders like Trump. And we won.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

When you’re spotted walking down the street with your eight year-old, and you start a sentence with the phrase “Going forward…” you might well have spent too long working in a corporate context

If you have any identifiable connection to Pete Hegseth - same college, same dentist, same bartender- then you should now assume that several nations' intelligence services are spending huge resources to plant spyware on your phone, personally. You should assume they will succeed.

"The Last of Us" star Pedro Pascal is exactly right: You can't claim to stand for freedom while tearing it away from others 🤷
