Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.
We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

“You could incur 16 violations and upon the 17th violation, your account would be suspended"

A key point about "volunteering" is that it should be "voluntary". By forcing migrants to volunteer this government not only treats us as if we are a free resource, but also ignores everything else we go through. This policy is dehumanising and exploitative.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

This is just the time during which you can ill afford their feckless ways.

USDA hasn’t released its data for 2024 yet, but the number of people experiencing food insecurity almost certainly increased again.
And will increase yet again in 2025, which is why Trump canceled the food security reports after this year.

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort:

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.
This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected.
Now think about how you feel after last night's election.
You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out.
You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off.
Remember this.

- Do you support Israel's occupation and AIPAC?
- Do you side with the broligarcy?
- Do you gleefully abandon "the woke" at the drop of a dime, whether it's immigrants, LGBTQ, Muslims, or others?
If Yes, say goodbye to your Presidential hopes.
