TWO THINGS. Trump not only has tried to destroy our democracy, he has also tried to destroy our faith in our democracy. Let’s hope he doesn’t succeed. At either.

From NBC News. Trump orders signage, warning visitors of “inaccurate information” at the Smithsonian. HERE’S A BETTER HEADLINE. Trump orders Smithsonian to be more blatantly racist. (Isn’t History so biased against white people even though they for the most part wrote it?)

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

THE END OF THE REPUBLIC. Nothing has convinced me more… Bill Barr (remember him…?) suggested that Todd Blanche should be confirmed because Trump might nominate someone even worse. Uh huh. Two problems. Who would be worse? And is that a way to run the government?

Is Christopher Nolan taking credit for the Interrotron?

WHAT IF CLARENCE THOMAS HAD BEEN ON THE DRED SCOTT COURT? Would he have voted to disenfranchise himself? Doesn’t the 13th Amendment have DEI problems?

HEAR, HEAR FROM MASHA GESSEN, "Sports can be an instrument of inclusion. So can the law. But in the hands of this court, the principles and practices that were once intended to enfranchise more people often become, instead, tools of exclusion."

WHY ARE THEY CALLED CONSERVATIVES? Is overturning the Constitution conservative?

060

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

People think it was a good day for the Supreme Court. Really?! Just because the Court didn’t decide to overturn the Constitution? How about all its other decisions? Mississippi wasn’t so bad. But it let Citizens United reign supreme. Let’s re=congratulate John Roberts on ruining the country.

030

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

The NYT has discovered that Trump lies. For example, in his hall of presidents some ten historians were asked to fact check the captions. Good grief. There were misrepresentations, shocking omissions, and, yes, outright lies. Lies, of course, lies. But isn’t the problem: not enough people care?

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

MY VERSION OF HERACLITUS. Heraclitus is known for arguing you can’t step into the same river twice. (I will forgo the version in Plato’s Cratylus. Everything changes.) Even though you can’t step into the same river twice, you can step into the same pile of shit twice. Maybe even three times.

121

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

ANOTHER SADNESS, BUT THIS TIME NOT THE OBVIOUS. Mark Singer who wrote two profiles about me for The New Yorker died. He should always be known for standing up to Trump. I loved him. He was funny, ironic, and very smart. Also, a fabulous writer. Damn. I will miss him.

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

ARE WE REALLY POWERLESS TO STOP THIS?

170

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

THE OBVIOUS. If you’re a moron you hire other morons, lest your moronic ideas and moronic leadership be challenged. But where is it written that we have to pay lip service to morons? That we have to pretend that morons aren’t morons and their ideas aren’t moronic? Where?

040

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

It doesn’t matter how many times a moron tells us how smart he is, how many cognitive tests he’s aced, he’s still a moron. Q.E.D.

0123

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

THE TRIUMPH OF EUPHEMISMS. Today in the NYT, Hegseth is described as engaged in a war against diversity. Can’t we call it what it is? That’s right. It’s RACISM. And it’s unacceptable and disgusting.

1131

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

The three “Gs.” Government by grift and graft.

010

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

Is America finally waking up to the fact that Trump scuttled Obama’s agreement with Iran (the JCPOA) in favor of slaughtering people and ultimately ”achieving” a weaker deal? WHY? Meaningless competitivenes? Racism? Errant stupidity? Take your pick.

250

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

HAS SOMETHING CHANGED? I no longer think in terms of right/left, Republican/Democrat, Conservative/Progressive. These categories may no longer apply. Now, it’s simpler.. There is just stupid and very stupid. Welcome to our new reality.

172

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

ATAVISTS UNITE. Why not approve of every despicable event in the history of mankind? Slavery? Racism? The Holocaust? Why not worship stupidity? Cupidity? Let’s pretend that all criminal prosecutions are politically motivated, particularly those involving Donald Trump.

021

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY NO ONE RESPONDS TO MY ARGUMENTS IN THE ASHTRAY?

010

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

I WAS WRONG. The problem is not what happens to a society where crime is not punished. The problem is what happens to a society where crime is rewarded?

1113

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

BEGGARING/BUGGERING CREDULITY. Today, the NYT has a headline “Fund Proposed to Compensate Allies of Trump…” Terrific. And taxpayers get to pay for it. But wait a second. Aren’t we already paying directly for Trump’s criminality? We are, but why not encourage double-dipping?

041

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

READING SCHOPENHAUER. "For the world is Hell, and men are on the one hand the tormented souls and on the other the devils in it.” Who could argue?

060

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

READING KANT. "To become old is a great sin, and we are ruthlessly punished for it by death."

051

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Can you really claim that there is no discrimination against women and Blacks? This is why Roberts and Alito should be ashamed of themselves. Alas, they may have no sense of shame.

070

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

CAN YOU SHOW DISCRIMINATION? McCleskey was sentenced to death in Georgia. A study showed Defendants charged with killing white victims were over 4 times more likely to receive a death sentence than those charged with killing Black victims. This was not enough for the SC, and McCleskey was executed.

030

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

The Count of Monte Cristo was very angry. Yes, he was trying to punish those who had him unjustly imprisoned. Trump’s vindictiveness is different. He is punishing people who have exposed his criminality.

040

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Yesterday , the NYT had an article on PAGE ONE, “In primaries, Trump targets the ‘Disloyal’.” Knock me over with a feather, is it even possible that Trump could be vindictive? At least, the NYT has been able to discover it.

020

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

OK. He’s incontinent and incompetent, but maybe the policies are good. Sorry, they are not. What are we supposed to think or feel after Trump scuttled Obama’s JCPOA. We negotiated enforceable limitations on Iran’s ability to process HEU. What do “we” prefer? Senseless and shameful war?

080

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

When will America rebel against a government of cretins and incompetents. Or will we continue to pretend that any of this makes sense?

2122

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

MORE NONSENSE AT THE NYT. A graph of the increasing use of the f-word in political discourse. What is the bigger problem — vulgarity or fascism? Think it over, carefully.

050

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

We learn today in the NYT that Trump has degraded and ridiculed Vance. OK. How about Trump has degraded and ridiculed the entire world with the possible exception of a handful of autocrats? Putin and Netanyahu should be pleased.

0175

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

America should be ashamed of elevating a vulgar moron to the presidency. Having said that, we must not condone unrestrained racism and war crimes. There is no excuse. None.

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

Here’s my problem. Bondi is treated in the NYT like she is just an “ordinary” AG — just like all the others. Not so. She was involved in criminalizing the Justice Department not in prosecuting criminals.

0284

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

THE ANODYNE NEW YORK TIMES. “Trump Fires Bondi After Bumpy Tenure.” How about Bondi fired after trying to destroy the rule of law in this country? Now, it’s time to fire Trump for the same reason.

CONFIRMATION OF NEW MAHA SCIENTIFIC THEORY. It turns out that the moon is not just made of green cheese, it’s made of unpasteurized whole milk green cheese.

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

NEW EXAMPLE OF IRONY. A friend recently told me that he and his family are moving to Germany to “escape fascism.”

0154

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

It has been pointed out in the NYT that Hegseth in his 60 Minutes “interview” has given up extending democracy for unrestrained vengeance. That’s being too kind. How about telling it like it really is? Unmitigated gobbledygook. A mess of contradictions, evasions and nonsense talk.

071

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

Isn’t it time we take our country back?

061

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO. Do you really think that because one monkey may object, that the principle no longer holds? Let’s get real here.

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

MY CHILDHOOD FAVORITE. Dr. Seuss, Bartholomew and the Oobleck. Is it about Trump? It could be. The King-got-angry-at-the-sky. A greedy, unrestrained. imprudent King. The world is saved by his page boy, Bartholomew Cummins. Who will be our Bartholomew Cummins? Who will save us?

042

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

A supine Congress; a supine Supreme Court, and a rogue President. What more do you need for our own, individualistic brand of fascism?

061

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO. Kant would have benefited from an appeal to a much more powerful principle than the categorical imperative. IMITATING OTHERS. How better to describe human behavior?

040

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

WRITING ABOUT KANT. Eichmann at his trial in Jerusalem invoked the categorical imperative. Arendt believed he misinterpreted Kant. I disagree. I believe Kant helped justify the Holocaust.

RE-READING THE CASTLE. "When a matter has been deliberated on at great length, it can happen, even before the deliberations have ended, that in some unforeseeable place, which cannot be located, a directive is issued that usually justly, but nonetheless arbitrarily, brings the matter to a close."

031

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

To go to war shouldn’t a President have a coherent set of reasons? A strategy? An excuse? Perhaps an endgame? Good grief. It makes me yearn for the days when an administration (at least) had to go before Congress and lie.

080

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

The Putinization of America. (I learned the term from Garry Kasparov.) Unhinged aggression. Disregard for human life. Imperial aspirations. Need I say more?

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

“Our country is winning so much...that we really don’t know what to do about it.” I have a suggestion. How about impeachment?

062

Errol Morris @errolmorris.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

It’s alarming how similar Trump’s policies are to Putin’s policies. Are we really supposed to side with the aggressor in any settlement in Ukraine? No, no, no.
