I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.
They are lawless bestial scum.

Did you ever wonder what you would have done as a citizen in historical times of incredible cruelty: slavery, the holocaust, etc.?
You don't have to wonder anymore! You're doing it!

An essential read.
Breaking character: Ken White has a fantastic post about how "free speech culture" undermines free speech. It's something I've thought about a lot before, but Ken knows way more about it than I do and explains it really well.

The key to hitting the pivot back from democracy to monarchy is to wait until the absolute worst guy imaginable is in position to benefit from it. A man so stupid and so vain that he really thinks getting 49.8% of the popular vote in an election means that he gets to be king forever.

As an aside, I'm told multiple major outlets were not interested in this story and passed on covering it. Mind-boggling.
"Despite Trump officially activating FEMA on Sunday, FEMA has just 86 total staff deployed at this point [to Texas], according to figures shared with staff Monday evening...In the past it would normally be in the several hundreds at this point in the disaster recovery process."

Everyone contributes to the movement in the ways they see fit. Some get teargassed and shot with rubber bullets by rampaging cops, others offer notes online re: how the people getting gassed/shot might seem less deserving of getting gassed/shot to the general public. It's a coalition.

I think folks on both the right and the left trying to retrofit a theory to Trump's actions really do miss the degree of not just thoughtlessness but outright resistance to thought that characterizes Trump and nearly everyone with whom he has chosen to surround himself.

Hey Rubio, you're an abject coward – and cowards NEVER get to define what courage is or tell us who has courage. You couldn't be more wrong.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

If you live in one of these 10 states (AZ, TX AR, MS, FL, GA, TN, KY, IN, OH), today is THE LAST DAY you can register to vote. Even if you think you're registered already, double check to see if your registration is still active. Please do this, it only takes a few minutes. Pass it on.
