NEW: During a rally just now, Trump invited Iran to “take out Los Angeles and San Diego,” saying it would be a “small price to pay.”

“Too many Americans have absorbed & tolerate Trump’s insane, destructive behavior as a fact of life…the corporate media has facilitated that mentality…we are facing a constitutional emergency with an exec branch working to centralize its power at all costs.” www.americaamerica.news/p/we-are-und...

We Are Under Attack From an Enemy Within
By listening to our founders and refusing to go along with this, we can name and defeat the ongoing danger to our constitutional republic

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

They took memory cards and sold us cloud storage. They took CDs and DVDs and sold us streaming. They took software you bought once and turned it into a monthly subscription. Corporate America figured out the real money wasn’t in selling you something. It was making sure you NEVER actually own it.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Reagan Myth #3,097 Reagan liked to think of himself as a "small government" president. He even had cute little sayings mocking the government. And this is how most Republicans still remember him. But there were more federal employees when he left office than when he was inaugurated.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

I keep reading legacy media reports about the daily actions of Trump, as if he were a normal president, as if he wasn’t intent on democracy’s destruction & ignoring the rule of law. This crook has gotten away with crimes all his life because he was not judged clearly as a criminal flouting the law.

One thing that's been bugging me today: people who claim Dolly Parton wasn't political. False. She was very political. Her art and life's work were about interrogating power + amplifying the powerless. You only think she wasn't political because she did this by example, not bullshit slogans.

I love Nic Hoult, but never saw him in this role. Nor Harrington, tho he is splendid voicing Lockhart in the audio books. This should have been Nic Galatzine who is perhaps not yet famous enough to be a Harry Potter guest star.

"Theatre kid" is tossed around by right-wingers, and I want to say: - I wasn't a theatre kid. - I have a theatre kid, they're great. So are their friends. - If you have a problem with theatre kids you should look into your heart to see why or crawl back into your hole and die. Either's fine by me.

The way a president speaks about women matters. Dismissing, mocking, or belittling women isn’t toughness, it’s disrespect. In the past, the highest offices in the country elevated public discourse. And now, it is being dragged into the gutter. Vote. Vote. Vote.
