Keep in mind that the cuts to Medicaid don’t go into effect until late 2026 conveniently after the midterm elections. Do not be fooled. Vote these ghouls out. Show up and VOTE in the midterms.

In times like these, I draw inspiration from Mister Rogers, who fully understood that we’re all neighbors. “When I was a boy & I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” We must all be helpers, y’all!!

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

If you like what you've seen from Sen. Cory Booker and other Democratic lawmakers this week, call and email their offices and let them know that. Evidence of public support gives lawmakers more clout with their colleagues to keep doing what they're doing. Constituent encouragement becomes influence.

So much horrific news. But also yesterday, the oaks were leafing out and the grass was maximum green. The Bay Area dresses up in drag as Ireland this time every year, and happy St. Patrick's to all you anticolonialists and arborists.

Four iPhone snapshots of oaks on hillsides, with their dark crooked boughs visible behind the tender new leaves and vivid green grass below.

I kind of feel that were forgetting a lot of people saw dead babies on Instagram and tiktok last year killed by American bombs and bullets and that lead to feeling a certain way about Gaza. This all feels like a national gaslighting.

Nothing Zelensky could have done would change the fact that Trump is Putin's groveling vassal and has been as long as he's been in political life. And Ukraine was one of the reasons why defeating Trump was really important, but of course the 10,000 reasons are now on full display.

The US just potentially lost trillions of dollars, Europe has revived its arms industry and giving European manufacturers priority. US contracts are being pushed aside and European companies are now receiving record breaking orders. These are the top companies surging right now.

Here's what the idiots in the White House utterly fail to comprehend. They and the US came out of that argument weaker. Zelensky came out stronger, with Europe rallying behind Ukraine more than before. They came out looking like petulant idiots; he came out looking like a leader with integrity.

Here's one of the warnings I gave in an article before the US election. It's devastating to see it all happening. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Never underestimate the vengeful nihilism at the heart of this movement. The glitter-eyed fanatics behind Project 2025 and other such programmes will smash whatever is most precious to you, partly at the behest of commercial interests – but also to enjoy watching the pain it inflicts. They will crush beauty, joy, community and hope precisely because other people value them.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better? This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.
