Trump will not be held accountable for his illegal commercials. But it is still important that we recognize the commercials as illegal. There. Are. FOUR. Lights. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

PSA: Trump Continues To Commit Crimes

While the president is unlikely to face any consequences for his patently illegal, taxpayer-funded ads, it’s essential to remember he should.

Fantastic author. If you can't hear it yet, she can help clarify this issue of women's agency for you. My wake up was learning my partner walked to her car at night with keys in her hand, and ALWAYS checking the car interior before getting into the vehicle. Believe the women. 😔

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Retire in peace

McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

I’m a former in-house lawyer for Harvard. During my recent role as DEI Director at UCLA, I fixated my AuDHD brain on digesting, analyzing and memorizing Project 2025. Since then, unfortunately every one of my political predictions has come to pass. P2025 is 55% complete. The last 1/2 is terrifying.

If the survivors win, they’ve asked the court to require Epstein's estate to preserve the full record of what’s in the collection so that each survivor can find out exactly how many of their images the financier exploited.

I've encountered this several times today. People who are using timeworn techniques for creating arguments and slandering the bulk of the left and suppressing votes. One was pretending to be a trans activist; another is pretending to be a progressive. Their whole style warns you.

No one is willing to give up anything to make this happen; the oligarch's might not be able to open another store or buy a 3rd yacht and the government needs a useful tool to scare their constituents into voting for them.

We are pleased to announce that after a very long wait (over 125 years!), we are preparing to start, over the next two-week period, the excavation work necessary for the Great Triumphal Arch and Military Observation Deck, at Memorial Circle on Columbia Island between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. This will be one of the Great Pieces of American Architecture, honoring the history and significance of Arlington Cemetery and befitting the most powerful Capital in the World.

I consider it a great privilege to live alongside members of the military and share their stories. It's a shame for the institution and service members, who swore to defend the Constitution and deserve right to a free and independent press.

In his 2004 book, The Anatomy of Fascism, historian Robert Paxton identified the passions that had animated fascistic political cultures over the previous 80 years. These may sound familiar.

eelings t
hem "mobilizing passions":
• a sense of overwhelming crisis beyond the reach of any traditional solutions;
• the primacy of the group, toward which one has duties superior to every right, whether individual or universal, and the subordination of the individual to it;
• the belief that one's group is a victim, a sentiment that justifies any action, without legal or moral limits, against its enemies, both internal and external;
• dread of the group's decline under the corrosive effects of individualistic liberalism, class conflict, and alien influences;
• the need for closer integration of a purer community, by consent if possible, or by exclusionary violence if necessary;
• the need for authority by natural chiefs (always male), culminating in a national chieftain who alone is capable of incarnating the group's historical destiny;
• the superiority of the leader's instincts over abstract and universal
reason;
• the beauty of violence and the efficacy of will, when they are devoted to the group's success;

"There is a huge amount of animosity, every single day, thrown at trans kids,” Joseph Pollard replied, voice rising. “The whole fucking country. The whole fucking administration, every single fucking day.”

BOISE, Idaho — After May Pollard died on a late-January morning, a detective asked her parents a question: Had anyone wanted to hurt her?

“A lot of America,” her mother answered.

Less than an hour earlier, Elyse Thorpe had found her daughter’s body inside their home, called 911 and sobbed as she tried to revive her. May, an avid poet and gamer, had been struggling and increasingly withdrawn.

Now, at 16, she was gone. And the detective, from the Boise Police Department, wanted to know what Elyse meant.

May’s father answered instead.

“There is a huge amount of animosity, every single day, thrown at trans kids,” Joseph Pollard replied, voice rising. “The whole f-----g country. The whole f-----g administration, every single f-----g day.”
