The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Paramount has joined Disney in paying bribes to Donald Trump, the Washington Post killed its Harris endorsement, Fox News functions as Republican state media, and the X algorithm amplifies fascist content. Here's why the media has a liberal bias problem.

On this date in 1688 was born legendary poet and satirist Alexander Pope whose witticisms and insights are now established maxims. "To err is human; to bust balls, moreso," "Fools rush in where angels say fuck it, no," and "A little learning is a dangerous thing for morons" are all born of his pen.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

The Supreme Court’s dream of a unitary executive—one man in charge of 50 very different and largely incompatible states, with 330 million people, even were he another Pericles—is utterly discredited; also giving a few men of sketchy character wealth equal to that of entire nation states is a bust

How do you hold onto a moment that cannot last? Freeze it in a brushstroke. In 1908, Monet faced fading light, his wife Alice’s decline, and the truth that nothing lasts. Yet he turned fleeting moments into eternal masterpieces. What can his works teach us? #artbots #monet👇🧵
