Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

With regard to the overt and jaw-dropping use of public money to manufacture and broadcast Trump politicals ads, I'm just spitballing here, but maybe, perhaps, if the U.S. Supreme Court didn't give the president blanket immunity from prosecution for crimes he wouldn't feel so comfortable criming.

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

The feminist movement in which she was a leader got the legal system to address domestic violence, workplace sexual harassment and discrimination, and so much more that people don't see because they don't remember the world before those changes.

We should have learned from Brexit; if you treat the propaganda and troll networks as a speech issue rather than a coercive and realtime security threat then the manipulation of the population will never end. Running factchecks isn’t enough; halting propaganda mills needs action.

I think Colbert has been using music in one of the most personal ways to engage with art, which is to allow it to reflect back your own feelings in a way that clarifies them. Your circumstances are new, but—in this case—your defiant frustration mixed with exuberance is legible to other people.

What if Mamdani is the next Dolly Parton? Checklist: cute, charismatic, funny (often at his own expense), kind, preaching the politics of everyone matters. I mean like reincarnated lamas, the next Dolly could take many forms. Why not a handsome young Muslim from Uganda who's big on childcare?
