Buried in the polls, with every American screaming for the Epstein files, the walls are closing in on Tangerine Palpatine.

Sending troops to every city you can in a desperate attempt to make martial law happen is not strength. It’s the last gasp of a dying regime.

Either you're against fascism, or you're foolish enough to believe it won't come for you.

Bless Dr. Jane Goodall’s Final Message To Humanity In which she tells us who she'd launch into space.

Please watch her final words to us all. They are beautiful and have given me a grounding sort of hope. Maybe they’ll help you too.

Trump's deal to sell TikTok won't just enrich his billionaire pal Larry Ellison.

It also gives UAE investment firm MGX — a key business partner of the Trump family's crypto company — a major ownership stake and board seat at TikTok.

Everything is for sale.

You know we’re living in the upside down when the president is more concerned about windmills and Tylenol than he is about assault weapons.

Bryan, I enjoyed today’s substack video post “The Rest Understand the West Better...
...than the West Understands the Rest.” I wish I had taken more Philosophy at Vassar than the one class I had with Jesse Kalin.

Need to tell trump to send the National Guard to Utah.

I just woke up from a long nap, can someone tell me if Trump has already apologized to the nation for falsely blaming the Kirk assassination on the left when—as with both his assassination attempts and 85% of political violence this century per the data—it was a far-right nutjob?

You think Kash Patel is “one of us” in his mind? Not from Utah. Man of color. Doesn’t look like a white christian nationalist.

There is no place for violence in our democracy — against anyone.

Trump's House Of Cards Collapses The Epstein evidence against Donald is damning.

These people belong in prison. Every last damn one of them.

You got it completely right. Thanks for this great piece today (and always).

Everyone at the CDC is getting fired or resigning.

RFK Jr. wants to ban all vaccines. His idiocy will get millions of people killed.

IMA INDA FILES GILL TEA PERFECT DRAG NAMES

Nancy Mace announces run for SC gov with pledge to ban pronouns in the classroom

This Chirstofascist transphobia is terrifying and horrific and many children will die.

and they are all just so, so, so stupid at the same time.

I didn't realize fascism was going to be this stupid

I know we keep saying this, but

GAH

(WHAT ABOUT THE GERUNDS, NANCY, WHAT ABOUT THEM)

A fantastic conversation with journalist @noahshachtman.bsky.social who did a great deep dive into the ADL for @nymag.com

The Epstein Scandal has hit critical mass. It’s in the air, it’s in the water, it’s in text messages from your parents asking if you’ve seen the Netflix doc yet. It’s all anyone can or wants to talk about and Donald Distraction is furious.

Good.

Harvard Is Said to Be Open to Spending Up To $500 Million to Resolve Trump Dispute

"resolve dispute" is a bizarre way to describe extortion.

Love your quote: “The Venn diagram of Christians who voted for a rapist and Christians who are outraged over Chip and Joanna Gaines being nice to gay people is a circle”

Six Months in, Trump Has Made American Life Immeasurably Worse Dismantling the federal government, yanking support for poor and working-class Americans, and emboldening extremism have been among his accomplishments so far.
