To be clear - finally - escaped asylum seekers from insane asylums, in Venezuela or elsewhere, are not welcome in the US and should go back to where they come from. Nothing new under the sky.

This graphic is a simple and effective explanation of gerrymandering. Both Republicans and Democrats do it. Democrats want a fairer system. Republicans don’t. And thankfully, Democrats won’t unilaterally disarm. We need better system.

Just in case you were still wondering whether or not the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under Trump is deliberately and aggressively undermining the protection of the environment, and threatening our present/future.

The devotion to Trump is not intellectual – it’s emotional. He makes racist, sexist white people feel good about being racist and sexist. They’ll support a treasonous sexual predator if he makes them feel better about themselves. I don’t know how we can get those people to grow a conscience.

STEWART: “I feel like I’m watching something so self-evidently inhumane and horrific and to be told I have to shut up because I risk the Jewish state by speaking out? I would say the opposite — they’re putting the likelihood of a surviving Jewish state much more at risk.”

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

If you are an artist (or a musician or a writer or any kind of creative) please keep doing your art and don’t let anyone tell you that “now isn’t the time” because NOW IS EXACTLY THE TIME. Art is power. Art is disruption. Art is resistance. There’s a reason the fascists always come for the artists.

Fascism is now in the algorithms, the neural pathways, the social interactions. How did we fail to see all this? “We wanted to see Trump in terms of his absences, so that our way of seeing the world would go unchallenged,” Timothy Snyder writes.

What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist?
Trump takes the tools of dictators and adapts them for the Internet. We should expect him to try to cling to power until death, and create a cult of January 6th martyrs.
