It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.

When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

If you still support Trump, I don’t judge you for your choice of political party.

I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion & humanity.

I judge you for your support of pedophilia, racism, treason & fascism.

So will others. So will history.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity.
Do listen.
I wrote about the history here: snyder.substack.com/p/o-generous...
Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.

It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.

The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

Donald Trump:

• "I think the women love me."

• "Nobody respects women more than Donald Trump."

• "I love women. I respect women"

• "I cherish women. I want to help women."

• "I will protect our women"

They’re hiding the job numbers, the second strike video, Jack Smith’s testimony, Donald Trump’s health issues and the Epstein files.

Most “transparent” administration in history my fucking ass.

The Trump regime is breaking the law by not releasing all the Epstein files today and by sticking Trump's name on the Kennedy Center and by continuing to murder people on boats near Venezuela.
The White House is in the hands of criminals, and they'll keep committing crimes until we stop them.

Sometimes when I listen to Trump speak I think he is well on his way to dementia.

Other times I think he’s on something.

Then I think it’s just because his vocabulary is very limited and he struggling to read someone else’s words.

But most of the time I think it’s all 3.

The Trump regime is using your tax money to punish the American Academy of Pediatrics because it hasn't gone along with Trump and RFK Jr.'s campaign to destroy our health care system.
HHS cuts millions in grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics
The move is an escalation in the agency’s clash with the medical group, which is suing Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over vaccine policy.

Against all your better judgement I'm watching Trump's screed from last night.

How does he get off claiming that 100% of the jobs created were in private sector when Kristi Noem got billions to hire more goons?

Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

It's a shell game. Trump is taking money from soldiers' housing subsidies to "give" them $1,776 "warrior dividend" checks.

More than $2.9 billion in reconciliation funds was allocated to beef up troop housing allowances. Now it’s being used for $1,776 checks.

Regulations are not the enemy of innovation. In many cases they encourage it.

Regulations are the enemy of reckless greed.

Unregulated AI will have a catastrophic effect on the working class.
Trump has signed an Executive Order attempting to ban states and localities from regulating AI.

It comes after Big Tech announced a $100 million lobbying blitz.

Remember when we were not losing jobs in droves, or at odds with all our allies, or attacking other nations for their resources, or deploying masked thugs to terrorize our citizens, or pardoning drug traffickers and violent criminals in exchange for bribes?

It was only little over a year ago.

OK then, what was the action? What has the Trump admin done? What proposals have they made? They have only ever offered “thoughts and prayers” on social media. Nothing else.

The orange felon says he will begin ordering military land strikes on Venezuela.

And you can bet these attacks will begin as soon as the Epstein Files are released because he’s a criminal who’s desperate and he’ll do anything to distract away from his most heinous crimes.

There's no rule of journalism that says you have to show a president telling lie after lie – uncorrected – many times a day. That's a decision that corporate media are making for purposes other than delivering the truth to the public.
