Hell, this nation elected FDR & accomplished the New Deal.

We and our allies defeated worldwide fascism, at least for a generation.

We will consign punk-ass cosplayers, Christofascists, & lunatic billionaire tech-bros to the dustbin of history. We will build a new society in the ruins of the old.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

Kamala Harris: "Here in Chicago I'm told the helicopters that were descending on an American city were Black Hawks. Do you know what Black Hawks were designed to do? War. So I think everyone can draw their conclusions just based on the facts."

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Whether it’s senility or just plain lying our country is getting more chaotic and dangerous every day.

Tens of thousands losing jobs, millions about to lose their healthcare, and the First Amendment being shredded right before our eyes.

It’s time to show up, speak up and fight back.

There's something niggling about the Friends of Wexford Festival Opera that I can't quite put my finger on.

(The friends must have been at a comic opera, incidentally.)

A party of Friends having a whale of a time.

Rt 2 crosses from Florida into North Adams at the watershed of the Hoosac, above the hairpin turn. Briefly enters Clarksburg, and then into North Adams again.

“Can you explain this gap in your resume?”

Me thinking quickly on my feet to explain the period when I worked for ICE: “I was selling drugs… ,uh, to children.”

Ari Cohn @aricohn.com · 18h

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

The case against Comey is beyond weak. The case against James is worse. It is based on a lie, and they know they're lying because exculpatory evidence that contradicts the indictment had already been presented to a grand jury in another jurisdiction. Everyone involved with this needs to be disbarred

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.
