They're the same kind of craven, idiotic sycophants sucking up to drumpf here in America.
If you flood the streets of a city with heavily-armed masked paramilitary (1) they will commit crimes (2) they will not stop crimes (3) but overall crime may go down because people are too scared of heavily-armed masked paramilitary to leave their houses.
It’s a little weird to demand people vote for a candidate as a necessary lesser evil three years before you even know if they’re going to be the candidate
My reaction exactly.
Heart-wrenching….💔

Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.

JB Pritzker just dropped a bomb, saying that Trump is putting military in U.S. cities because he might aim to stop the election in Nov 2026. Pritzker, who's Jewish, compared it to how the Nazis came to power in Germany: "Donald Trump is just following that playbook."

Hey Sen. James Lankford, stop your Orwellian doublespeak. We're not "jumping to conclusions" – RFKjr is a dark tetrad. He knows nothing about human healthcare. He's systematically trying to cull the American public. Remove him from office. Immediately.

Trump's dodging the cameras as much as he's been dodging the Epstein files

An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
Today, in my hellhole home of #Chicago, I walked to the farmers market with my family and bought flowers, cheese, honey, fruit, and tomatoes. Then we went to the local park to enjoy the 70s and breezy weather we have been blessed with.

WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
Your post's favorite part is the enlightening, poignant viewpoint, especially the use of the term “shitweasel.”
It is said that one can avoid military service by playing one's "Trump Card". "I've just Trumped" can mean "I do believe I may have sharted, just now".
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.
Early night for Sleepy Don. Not even any insults either.
So last night I decided to try a piece of banana bread my wife made. I immediately felt bad because I found it incredibly dry and quite bland; I didn't have the heart to tell her. Today I learned what I'd eaten was a regular piece of bread she put on top to keep everything fresh. I'm an idiot.
"Rudy Giuliani nursed an injured crow back to life with warm milk, then drove to a place not a liquor store, and then got in a car accident. After this, an unscrupulous stranger littered the backseat of his car with scores of emptied airline-size bottles of Gilbert’s vodka. Two may have been gin."
They attack Fauci, an actual doctor and scientist, but praise RFK Jr., who’s never even seen the inside of a lab. Make it make sense.
It is just wild to me that the largest facility used during Japanese internment will now be used to intern immigrants from ICE raids, people who are disappeared by masked officers off the streets, and there is still a debate about whether naming and shaming those doing it is fair.
ATTN UNIONS: You're next on the menu.
Why has Trump been attacking unions and workers’ rights? He wants working people to feel helpless and divided. Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power. Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"

China isn’t the reason to build solar—it’s the reason we can’t afford to wait. While US nuclear flatlines, China’s solar has already rocketed past it. The lesson isn’t to copy them—it’s that the transition is happening at breakneck speed. Delay now means falling behind forever. ⚡☀️ #EnergyTransition

Thank you for sharing this enlightening and moving work of art. It breaks my heart how little women and the weight of our labor is never recognized or appreciated.
“El Esfuerzo,” dramatically captures a woman crushed under the invisible weight of daily life. Children cling to her as she bears endless chores, a haunting tribute to the relentless, unseen labor women endure every day. Every day she “does nothing," yet in reality she carries it all.
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
Sorry food workers just know I've been there. I feel for you.
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
It took cops three hours to finally go into the Pulse nightclub the night of the shooting. If you wander near a crosswalk in Florida with a piece of chalk right now you'll have four cops on you in under five seconds.🤷♂️
I like the rebrand.
Rudy Giuliani hospitalized after his "vehicle was struck from behind at high speed.” Thots and prayers.
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔

The United States is slipping from its place as a world leader. You can thank Trump for that.

"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
Unsolicited writing advice, no. 13: If you are lucky enough to be translated into other languages, always know this: you are NOTHING without your translator. Your translator has skills far beyond just putting words into another language. A good translator is a stylist, an interpreter, a composer.

Wow!
I'm an art museum docent. I couldn't agree with you more. Let the art talk and encourage your visitors to discuss it, but NEVER bring your own personal opinions into it. It isn't about YOU, it is about the art.
“As I approach the end of my life, I have even less and less interest in examining what have got to be very superficial evaluations or opinions about the significance of one’s life or one’s work,” Leonard Cohen said, in 2016.
