Writer, cat daddy, veteran, x-PoliticalJourno, husband to an artist. Trump has them believing in absurdities. We need to make sure they don't commit atrocities. (Apologies to Voltaire) Ready or not, Resistance 2.0 has arrived.

Hopefully the merging of The Handmaid's Tale & Brazil will not be an extinction-level event.
That thing where you realize Brazil is a documentary about the future of America… 😳😳😳
It's all been Kabuki theatre with Putin and his Puppet. Trump's betrayal of Ukraine is just a matter of timing.
Amen
Never forget: We are the majority.
The #NoKings protests are attracting crowds like the ones Trump brags about, except these numbers are real.
We had a penguin & a handmaid among hundreds in Exeter, NH
Serious mocking Dear Leader game
A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23.

A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."

Joseph and Magda Goebbels thought the same thing about their kids..

Right up until they poisoned them all to death and committed suicide..

Gossip rag pretending to journalism sane washes Dear Leader's madness.

Look up who Horst Wessel was…they are doing the same thing to Charlie Kirk by making him a martyr for a movement…history does repeat itself..the “Reichstag Fire” comes next and then the outlaw of the Democratic Party…playbook was written over 90 years ago
I saw SMS in two packed theaters (Cambridge, MA & Keene, NH) & within minutes, dancing broke out & didn't stop until the credits. Pure artistic/music/communal joy. Never experienced anything quite like it before or since.

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger
Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?

TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.
This x 💯

Big sigh. Watch this.

Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?

No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.
There has been a full decade of MSM investment in sanitizing & normalizing Trump & his MAGA zombies.

Zero chance of introspection happening.
the permission structure created for a bloodthirsty maga rampage the last two days by mainstream media, all before any facts were known at all, deserves some real introspection by the entire industry
I stand with Matthew Dowd - he told the truth.
I stand with Matthew Dowd.
Alas, dumb is at pandemic levels these days in this country.
Just reminding everyone that we still don't know who killed Kirk or why so can we all stop talking about how his murder is an assault on democracy or whatever.

We don't know anything so why are folks advancing a narrative that the regime has run with. It's really dumb
Preview of coming attractions

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer.

New York Times tomorrow
Jeffries continues to play from an irrelevant playbook.
Suffice to say, he looks & sounds like a delusional fool at this perilous moment.
Hakeem Jeffries: "Donald Trump promised that he would lower housing costs on day one. Here's a suggestion for the Trump administration: try to legislate, and maybe we can find common ground in order to get something done for the American people."

It was on target and comprehensive. He spoke truths.
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

🚨Trump: “I’m not a dictator… but I can do anything I want. I’m the President of the United States.”

Millions of Americans have worn the uniform and sworn an oath to defend the Constitution, not one man’s ego. Trump is spitting on that sacrifice and shredding the values we served to defend.

I hate these people with the fire of 1000 suns. Tell it to the mom of a disabled kid who can’t get treatment for her child without Medicaid you fucking ghoul.
Scalise: "The 35-year-old who's sitting in his mom's basement playing video games is gonna have to go get a job again."
Amen
The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.
Amen
We are the stupidest country.
NEW: The U.S. has taken possession of the 747 jet that is being donated by the government of Qatar, a move that will intensify the debate in Washington over this unusual gift. President Trump's team solicited the gift from Qatar to get a new Air Force One plane sooner www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

Another phenomenal piece from Will Bunch. If you don't already read Will's work, you should definitely start doing so now
They hide behind ski masks or balaclavas, wearing no badge, sloppy clothes. They threaten anyone who asks for ID or warrant with arrest, leave little kids alone in cars and push around 80-year-old congresswomen
