No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Saturday, No Kings Day will become the largest nation-wide demonstration on behalf of democracy in our history.

If you haven't already, please find the No Kings location near you and BE THERE.

We need each other now more than ever.

Democrats argue with each other over policy, while MAGA skips policy and goes straight for the jugular.

We bring reason to an emotional fight and wonder why we can't win.

Apparently, Secretary Smegbreath is not the great motivator he presumes himself to be.

Pundits who tell you that things are not as bad as they seem are not to be trusted.

Thanks!

Roch, I'll still be reading your posts, but I'm gonna take a few days off from the comments. I'm hoping the seemingly endless chorus of DB puns will subside by then.

Thanks for making reading about baseball a pleasure,

The safest place to live will soon be in the middle of nowhere. ICE will to be the largest federal law enforcement agency in the country, with a larger budget than the FBI or the Bureau of Prisons. Blue cities will be occupied by ICE enforcers—Trump's personal stormtroopers—as we've seen in L.A.

We will live in a climate controlled by dangerous storms, where calm days serve as the connective tissue between the storms.

If this change hasn't happened already, it's approaching faster than we'd care to believe.

Whenever I wear my "Resisting Kings Since 1776" t-shirt, random people stop and tell me they love my shirt.

The potential for massive resistance far greater than we've already seen is out there.

I want to believe.

We the people will be the driving force behind the next iteration of the American experiment.

If we lead, the politicians will follow.

Finding new ways to lead is our challenge.

Much worse than Elon. He's really passionate about destroying the Constitution.

No One Can Offer Any Hope Even if most Americans haven’t abandoned their private sense of empathy, many don’t seem terribly bothered by the rancidness of their leaders.

This is an insightful comparison of the morally bankrupt philosophies of Trump, Vance, and Musk.

I highly recommend reading this.

That seems likely, by accident if not by design.

Trump Administration Plans to Send Migrants to Libya on a Military Flight

Look what they do while distracting us with tariffs. Have these people received due process? Is this another test of the rule of law?

How The Grump Stole Christmas

Looking forward to this new movie about children with no toys at Christmas. Should be a blockbuster next year. An instant classic. Nothing like it.

Of course, there will be plenty of coal available for their stockings, but let's give the coal to the "adults."

Trump Says ‘I Don’t Know’ When Asked About Due Process and Upholding Constitution (Gift Article) President Trump repeatedly said he didn’t know when asked in a TV interview whether every person on American soil was entitled to due process, as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment.

If Trump doesn't understand the presidential oath of office he took on inauguration day, shouldn't his taking of it be null and void?

That's their idea of progress, but given enough time I think they'll figure out a way to make it impossible for blue collar workers to make a decent living. "You will have nothing and like it," will be their mantra.

This is the official White House account.

This is class warfare, plain and simple. If you're not in the haves now you never will be. The American Dream will be to have a job that leads nowhere, but at least you won't have to live on the street.

The Trump Voters Who Like What They See “Even if they don’t agree with everything he’s doing, he’s doing something.”

Why do many Trump voters think he's doing a great job? This short article helps tell their side of the story.

Did Peter Navarro Save Democracy? Economic failure has given us a chance to stop Trump's authoritarianism

Could public reaction to a deeply failing economy help save our democracy? I'm not convinced, but this is worth a read.

When Trump is deported to El Salvador, some MAGA genius is going to pay a fortune to sit next to him on the plane.

Team Trump is making a list of Jews—what could go wrong? In a chilling move that echoes Nazi Germany, the Trump administration is making a list of Jews—supposedly for their own good. The Intercept reported on Wednesday that professors at Barnard College in ...

Possibly the first overt act of antisemitism by a president since 1971, when Nixon ordered the demotion of 13 employees of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because they were Jewish or had Jewish-sound surnames.

Trump Is a Virus Chaos is about to take its toll

The chart below, a schedule of vessels at Port of Los Angeles, could be a predictor of the harm Trump's tariffs are about to cause the economy in general. As Krugman says, "Chaos is about to take its toll."
