The official U.S. Department of Education Twitter account posted, then deleted, a video positively comparing Trump to Hitler. Captioned “No one does it like us” with a tiger emoji, the video opens with a scene from Darkest Hour wherein Winston Churchill refers to Hitler as a tiger.

And not to disrespect Ukrainians, but it's extra embarrassing for Moscow that it's Ukraine. We're not talking about China or the United States or European NATO or a place with endless manpower like India. The self-declared gReaT pOweR is getting hammered by a country that supposedly doesn't exist

This is a good time to remember that immigration judges aren’t real judges. They work for DOJ as part of the executive branch (under Bondi and Trump) and the fact that we call them judges like they’re independent arbiters would be laughable in a free and fair country.

That song I keep sharing, "No Kings," is by Jesse Welles, the Dylan/Baez of this era (which is likely why Joan sings with him on it). I just bought one of his albums, "Pilgrim," on @bandcamp.com & went back in to buy it again for my nephew—& saw this ⬇️ Buy his music, feed kids. Merry Christmas ❤️
