somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

This is not a minor issue: it’s a serious threat to democracy. We’re rapidly transitioning into a world where, as long as you support the president, you can be above the law; if you’re in the opposition, you have a target on your back. Opposition can’t survive under these conditions.

They’re 100% fine with POTUS selling the office to the highest bidder, and so afraid of getting taxed out of the ability to bid.

They’re so afraid of him!

I wonder why they’re so afraid of you

my fervent hope is that history books will make it abundantly clear, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the death of democracy is the defining legacy of the Roberts Court.

I spent some time this weekend with a Polish immigrant, on a green card, who, if he could’ve, would’ve voted for DJT.

Simply because he refuses to let his young daughters be forced to compete in sports against trans athletes.

The ends justifies the means, he says.

He teaches catechism, too.

What the fuck are we doing?

It isn’t like he didn’t have at least some ability to affect the outcome

“The president likes Ivy Leagues”—until he figured out that being literate is a requirement of higher education and it became way too challenging for him and his sycophants

The legacy of the Roberts Court is American authoritarianism, whose effects will reverberate for generations.

If only his GOP enablers weren’t such power-hungry spineless cowards

Could not be more clear the president wishes he had unilateral power to imprison people, like in an absolute monarchy

He doesn’t so instead he’s forcing the govt to bring charges against his enemies because he wants vengeance

Nakedly corrupt, the sort of thing that necessitates removal from office

PLEASE SOMEONE, ANYONE, MAKE IT STOP ALREADY 😭😭😭

Omar Yaghi, the new Nobel Laureate, was born to a Palestinian refugee family.

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

This order provides yet another indication that the Supreme Court will (1) let Trump fire the leaders of every other agency, but (2) maintain a lone carve-out for the Federal Reserve that prevents him from firing its members without a good, legitimate reason.

I do wonder when media outlets will get interested in ballooning everyday costs. My family's grocery bill has exploded over the past six months and - unlike when a Democrat is president - this is a non-story.

Epic.

"some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily execute civilians" says today's New York Times, continuing their long tradition of whitewashing fascism

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

“I don’t understand how being rich can make someone such a whore” is the defining quandary of our time.

As if

I wonder… If we were to award him a Noble Prize in the same vein as Four Seasons Landscaping, it might just finally shut him up?

It should be referred to as a Kavanaugh stop.

Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomo’s actions. But they won't decide this election.

In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas — and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.
