Given that there is not likely to be a national, bipartisan demand for accountability in the wake of Trump — the major distinction with Nixon — any accountability, civil or criminal, will be a partisan and political project that I think should be pursued as vigorously as possible.

this, by the way, should be table stakes for any Democrat seeking office from now until the Republican Party has been completely destroyed and our political, government, and media ecosystems rebuilt and reformed so they no longer advantage far-right fascists

it's evidently too much to ask the rw justices to consider the irreparable harm to individuals treated to such inhumanity. they are complicit in this criminality. shame on all six of them. and shame on us for having a system that allows this illegality.

It really says a lot about our country when we all wake up to more unhinged rants from the orange fuhrer, and it’s just the latest example of “wow, we are living through this shit.” It says a lot about the GOP. The voters. That the country can essentially run “like normal” and it’s just another day

I know I am not the median voter. But when I watch Trump performances like the one we just endured in North Carolina, I can't escape the feeling that our problems go much deeper than "affordability" and we're whistling past the graveyard if we reduce our politics to that issue.

A modest proposal. The current people building the future are fucking it up. We want some better people to build the future. Perhaps even a future not built by pedophiles and oligarchs and fans of autocracy.

Every Republican in Congress owns what Trump has done, is doing and is going to do. The vast majority of it would not have been possible without their collective acquiescence and enabling. He’s emboldened by the fact that Congress refuses to function as a separate branch of govt.

Republicans have made their election strategy very clear: 1) Islamophobia 2) transphobia 3) blatant lying 4) cheating / suppressing votes 5) throwing endless dark + corporate $$ at all the above When I see Democrats HELPING them on 1 & 2 - or barely mentioning the rest - I want to break bones.

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.

An incredible story. The Iranian Christian woman who wrote “help” on the glass on the hotel in Panama has finally found permanent safety; in Canada. The Trump admin deported her to Panama soon after taking office, rather than let her seek asylum. Read her story 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/w...

RIP. Will never forget what Dolly told me about politicians. "I don’t think any of ‘em are trying hard enough... they worry more about their party than they do about the people. If we just do what we felt was the right thing... None of them are working from the heart." 💙

The US decision to launch a trade war against Canada while it is in the midst of a foolish war with Iran, while China is laughing at its weakness, while the deficit is exploding and bond markets are calling BS... shows that the US government is not acting in US national interest.

Unspeakably disgraceful. Doris Miller was a mess attendant -- the only jobs open to Black sailors -- who won the Navy Cross at Pearl Harbor. With this, and reports USN leaders are considering changing the design of aircraft carriers *because Trump said so* -- the Navy is dishonoring itself.

The most important divide in the Democratic Party today is between those who think Trump is a temporary aberration within the GOP and those who understand that Trump is the best version of what the GOP will be for the rest of our lives and into the foreseeable future.

If Constitutional rights are something that a despot can "weigh suspending" for his convenience, then there is no Constitution and we should draft a new and better one as soon as we excise the despot and his party from every level of government. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

They're oblivious to the fact that they contributed to the rise of the extreme capitalism that has broken our societies, driven up inequality, undermined democracy and rightly discredited many of the core tenets of its champions in politics and the marketplace.

Semiotic anthropologist here w/alt-text! As I tell students & everyone who will listen: One of the great lessons of anthropology is that we built this. All of it. And we choose throughout our days how we will continue or change the world we have built. We can & must build differently.

You guys....we made it all up. ALL of it.
Everything. Money. Bills. Gender.
Capitalism. Femininity. Masculinity.
Body image. The 5 day workweek.
Three meals a day. School. College.
Fashion. Expectations. Institutions.
Holidays. Traditions. Literally every single thing that we take for granted as
"just the way it's done" is fucking made up and I just feel like it's really important that we remember that.

This pretty much sums it up: 1/2

Alex Prompter
@alex_prompter
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Democratic voters are telling their leadership — loudly — that they are done being managed and told to wait their turn. They are done being handed candidates who check every box except the one that matters: the ability to actually fight for them in a system that increasingly feels rigged.
