Grab your popcorn. We all know he will *try* to cheat in myriad ways. But he is so unpopular none of it will succeed. It’s going to be history-making interesting to watch.

Absolutely! Everything I know about Steve Jobs tells me he never would have bent over doggy style like Apple has done these past 2 years.

Trump and Hegseth want to turn the most powerful and respected military in the world into a savage force of war criminals like Russia’s military. What a disgrace.

“But most ordinary people don’t want that. They want to be together. They want to fight for something good. Both globally and locally.” I agree!! Remember: Those who side with the fascists have nothing but betrayal and defeat waiting for them. Part 3/3

When the anti-fascists remove the fascists from power in America, we will need a special task force to round up and prosecute the fascists that were members of CBP, ICE, and other federal and state agencies. I can't wait for these Nazi fascists to be hunted down and brought to justice!!

The folks in red states who will be devastated by SNAP cuts do deserve compassion. No matter how they voted. But when folks see blue states step up to help out while red states revel in the misery, people may finally start to appreciate just how heartless MAGA policies are.

The most effective boycott against Amazon is to boycott all the companies that use AWS. AWS is where Amazon makes it billions. Everything else mostly loses money.

In 1947, the U.S. military was not confused about what fascism looked like. Now we have a full-fledged fascist at the head of the U.S. military, serving his fascist leader. Yet I believe the U.S. military is not confused about what fascism looks like still today. m.youtube.com/watch?v=23X1...

This is a point we can’t make enough. If we want nice neighborhoods, make it easy to build the neighborhoods we love. And if we let people build this type of housing, we will reduce the cost of housing.

Stop saying, "We need to save our democracy." Our democracy is broken. People don't want to save it. They want something better. This message is why Kamala Harris lost the election. Say instead, "We want to live in a democracy." That's a much more powerful message against a fascist Trump regime.

I remember the days when messages from government agencies were professional and nonpartisan. Not anymore. Here's an email I received from the VA today.

Email Title: How the government shutdown impacts VA

Email Body: As you may be aware, funding for some government agencies, including portions of the Department of Veterans Affairs, expired at midnight this morning.

President Trump opposes a lapse in appropriations, and on September 19, the House of Representatives passed, with the Trump Administration’s support, a clean continuing resolution to fund the government through November 21. Unfortunately, Democrats are blocking this Continuing Resolution in the U.S. Senate due to unrelated policy demands.

During the current lapse in funding, the vast majority of VA benefits and services will continue uninterrupted, but the government shutdown is not without consequences to VA. Here is what you need to know:

Pitch perfect explanation. Don't understand why our elected leaders in the Senate and Congress can't do the same.

Trump is a fascist. But what form of government is he creating? Some call it autocracy. Some call it oligarchy. The most accurate term is kleptocracy. Kleptocracy is a form of autocracy. But the goal of the autocracy is personal enrichment. Pure and simple.

Reading a fabulous biography of Thomas Jefferson. While far from perfect, Jefferson gave America our enduring ideals of freedom and liberty. He was the Aristotle of the founding era. We are lucky he played such an outsized role in defining what America aspires to be. Post 1/2.

Maybe he's suing the Wall Street Journal because they didn't tell the full story. He actually drew a young teenage girl's body. Otherwise, the story was spot on.
