It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

“In 2029 we will rebuild the White House as it was, and pay for it by seizing the assets of the Trump family.”
It is important to promise, now, that whatever Trump builds at the White House will be torn down as soon as he leaves.

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Sad that this is needed
Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪
Here’s Your Cheat Sheet for Vaccine Recommendations Backed by Science

Democratic politicians and liberal pundits bemoaning the LA protests need to understand that as *their* failure. None of this would be happening if they had offered effective resistance to mass deportation (extraordinary rendition, in truth) instead of considering undocumented people expendable.

Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.
The entire administration is going to be staffed by Fox News hosts

I feel like I’m losing my mind with the lack of wall to wall coverage on disappearing *children with cancer*
i keep saying this, but it’s not 5% of the uproar that came from Biden’s debate.
“kids peeing in litter boxes”, a thing that never happened, got orders of magnitude more coverage.

It’s only getting much play in the trade/transport niche press. But pretty real product shortages beginning in mid-May or so are already locked in. They’re maybe a thousand miles out in the Pacific Ocean. Modern trade takes place in gargantuan container ships. There are very detailed records …

A TPM Reader shared this graph with me which strongly suggests that border immigration surges recently, which spur so many conspiracy theories in this country, are driven by periods of acute labor shortages in the US. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/its-t...

When I met with Mohsen Mahdawi today, we spoke about how appreciative he is to have the support of so many people in Vermont.
He said one of the reasons he wanted to become a citizen was because of his belief in American democracy.
He hopes that justice will prevail in his case.

One more rant before I go walk the dogs. 🧵
There is a certain Type of Guy (person, I guess technically, but almost always a guy).
You ask this type of guy about politics & they'll tell you they're independent, an iconoclast, & that "both sides" are silly & blinkered & don't see the big picture.
