Indiana Lawmakers Reject Trump’s New Political Map

Haven't seen a Truth post about this yet and its been an hour.

I’m in London while so many of you are marching in #NoKings.

But when I saw this bust of George III, it put everything in perspective.

Declaring “No Kings” today is as American and patriotic as it was 250 years ago. Democracy is a never ending struggle and each of you is protecting it today.

Why I Finally Went to my First Protest It took 58 years, but I showed up — because the bastards are counting on us not to.

This is more true today than it was when I wrote it in June.

After my youngest son died, my dad bought a new Subaru SUV, and he and I set off on an epic road trip that I chronicled on Twitter under #2DudesisaSubaru.

My co-pilot seat is now empty, and I've gotta log the rest of my journey solo, but having learned from a master how to navigate the road ahead.

Kirk’s Assassination Brings Trump’s Authoritarianism into Even Clearer Focus By blaming his enemies, Trump seeks to mobilize his followers, discredit his critics, and justify repression.

When Political Violence Comes Home We all need to take a moment to reflect on who and what we are and want to be.

When Violence Comes Home — we have to start with asking ourselves who are we and what do we want us to be as a nation.

OMG Pete Hegseth is a dork

Navy SEAL Dan Barkhuff shreds the clownish faux-toughguy facade of insecure, weak fools like Trump and Hegseth and their lethality-war fighte-buzzword-spewing delusions about what makes the US military the most powerful and deadly force the world has ever witnessed.

Putin meets alone with Trump.

A week later, US intelligence is gutted by Tulsi Gabbard.

FBI goes after John Bolton.

Had Putin ordered it through Amazon, could not have been more efficient.

You don’t win democracy like you win a campaign. You sustain it like you build a forest. The Long-Term Game: Democracy as a Generational Investment

Everywhere I go right now, I hear the same thing: “I’m exhausted.”

People who care about democracy feel like they’re in a permanent crisis loop.

But here’s the truth:

Democracy building isn’t regime change.
It’s a long-term investment in a better world.

The Democracy-Building Toolbox — And Why We Need It Here Now Tools we used to export. Now we need to use them to save ourselves.

In the early 2000s, I worked in countries where democracy was fragile, new, or still just an idea.

We didn’t talk about “election years” or “get out the vote.”

We talked about survival

Strategy.
Coalition
Courage

We didn’t always win. But we learned what worked

The Complicity of the Gutless, Self-Gelding Beltway Barnacles There is no Trump 2.0 without these Vichy collaborators.

Spot on @jefftimmer.bsky.social ! You nailed it!!

“This piece isn’t about the true believers. It’s about the Quisling converts. The ones who once winced when Trump called the press “enemies of the people,” and would now cheer if he arrests them.”

My daughter's Life was Never Lived, and Today she would have Turned Nineteen. For Vilte — And For Anyone Who’s Lost a Child Before They Were Born

Stillbirth is a different kind of loss.

You’re not just grieving a child — you’re grieving the future you imagined.

The milestones never come.

There’s no timeline to anchor the pain.

It’s a life unlived, and a version of yourself that disappears with it.
