No shit. You only had to read Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s book Strongmen published back in 2020 to figure that out. Some people are just slow learners .

Shutting the government down because the president’s thug army keeps murdering American citizens for no reason seems pretty reasonable, IMO!

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

When it comes to Trump's brain drain, “the damage is already done” How the DOGE-triggered attack on government research left America in the dark.

The DOGE-triggered brain drain has destroyed government science, endangered research, and left America fading to black.

It's almost as if the Enlightenment figures who founded the US had learned the lessons of Europe's wars of religion and created a secular state that would both protect worshippers from political interference, AND protect the polity from becoming dominated by religious sectarians.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

There are no words for this cruelty.

This does not sit well for the American people. Our gut is telling us something is wrong here.

The question comes up over and over again: if there’s nothing to hide, then why is the President engaged in such a clear cover up and pressure campaign of Members of Congress?

I stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers on strike.

When a corporation can pay $96 million to its CEO for just four months of work, it can afford to pay its workers a living wage and decent benefits.

American Exceptionalism is a lie that keeps a country's citizens complacent. There is nothing great about a country that has great wealth, yet so many go hungry. There is nothing great about a country that will jail the poor for minor offenses, yet elevate wealthy pedophiles to the Presidency.

Humanity’s Endgame | NOEMA A new history of societal collapse by an expert in existential risk argues that our globalized society is edging toward the precipice.

After their resounding victory in Tuesday’s elections, the Democrats had no choice but to surrender.

What Comes Next After the 2025 Elections Read more here.

History has taught us that this is precisely when Donald Trump is most dangerous — and when Republicans turn to voter suppression, election subversion and worse. With the 2026 midterm elections less than a year away, Trump is already plotting his next moves. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

Well said. I had the same reaction when I heard about the Democratic sweep. I thought Trump will not go down with a fight. I expect it’s gonna get very ugly in the near future.

There is massive incentive to play down the problem and no incentive to tell the truth How bad could it become in the United States?

I knew this was coming. Just like the last time around. So now tax payers’ money will bail out the idiot who created the problem. Typical Trump.

If I didn’t already live here, I certainly wouldn’t wanna come visit.

Granted, and point taken. However, as much as I Witt weren’t so, I think Musk is right. Violence is inevitable.

I think Susan Collins is toast.

The playbook of demagogues like Trump is to protect the Oligarchs by dividing us up based on race, religion, place of birth or sexual orientation.

They want us to hate each other while they laugh all the way to the bank.

Don’t fall for it.

Unfortunately, this is where we are headed... shameful...🥺

Only if they care about a just world.

I don’t think this current generation of students is willing to suffer the consequences of protesting in the same ways that the generation protesting the Vietnam war was.

I think a lot about how much a student protest movement nationwide could have done to save some of these colleges and universities, or at least to slow their capitulation, if administrators hadn't already put in overtime to expel the politically active kids and get them arrested.

First class POS. At this point his views are completely irrelevant. Good night Joe…

Brazilian president: "I'd like to say something to the American people; If Trump was Brazilian and did what he did at the Capitol, he'd be on trial in Brazil for violating the Constitution. He would be arrested if he had done that."

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

3 Scenarios That Explain the Epstein Debacle All reflect poorly on the Department of Justice.

The Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case appears to constitute the rare controversy in which there are no innocuous explanations for what has unfolded. The possibilities range from bad to worse for everyone involved.

Let’s take them one by one.
