200 days into Trump's term, where are we?

In the race between Trump's authoritarianism and efforts to resist it, authoritarianism is ahead. And while there are hopeful signs from the public, the chance of effective resistance is, for now, being fatally undermined by the capitulation of the elites.

Measles was eradicated with the vaccine, which is 97% effective at preventing measles.

Antivaxxers are the ones keeping people sick for profit.

Radar the cat

We just walked into an animal shelter because we drove by and saw they were having an adoption drive. Then the volunteers there told us that this sweetheart has been in the shelter for over a year. But they’re waiving the adoption fee for folks who come in to adopt Radar or another cat today.

If we going to use the LLM/car analogy, it's not that you need to know how the ECU works to drive a car, but you do need to understand the operational limits of the car. Car manufactures need to honest about this, but drivers must also practice and use some common sense, otherwise...

Bad Faith Is Turning Us Into Monsters We have no recourse against the power of a radicalized Supreme Court. So we're left to dream dark dreams.

The hopelessness brought on by the power of a radicalized Supreme Court isn't limited to online. It's everywhere.

We love kids as a source of cheap labor and, well, for others things we won’t discuss here.

Must congratulate him on his choice of new messaging consultant--keep it up. 🤣

Every day I’m inspired by the bravery of these courageous ICE agents.

Tomorrow is our roadtrip stream and we’ve got a *lot* of driving soooo… AMA!

Drop any questions you have about me, the campaign, Heater, or whatever else below. We’ll try to answer them along the way!

AI warrants some serious discussion, but that's not happening here. The discourse here is some version of "I used a fish as a hammer and it sucks".

However, the other side of that is that the noisiest AI companies are saying stuff like "It's a PhD in your pocket" which is clearly not true.

Same.

That first one would seem to indicate "feminine" is the higher state of being. 😂

Many of the NY Dems seem cut from the same cloth, with AOC and Mamdani being the notable exceptions.

This avalanche of trauma was piled onto him because the luckiest people in the history of the world were convinced that the immigrant down the street might eat their cat. And how does Andry react to his mistreatment? Here’s what he told me: And what I can say to the people, to President Trump, and to everyone watching this podcast is, let’s be more empathetic, let’s be more, more humane, knowing that we can’t make firewood from a fallen tree. . . . Let’s be more empathetic and not destroy others, because no one likes to be talked down to, let’s not kick a dead horse, because, it’s easy to speak badly of someone, but we don’t like people talking badly about them. So, as a relative told me, everyone is going to throw stones at the tree that bears fruit.

A remarkable level of grace and humanity from Andry Hernández Romero, the hairdresser from Venezuela that the United States sent to CECOT in El Salvador, where prison guard forced him to perform oral sex.

Despite all this, he shows a stunning level of grace. www.thebulwark.com/p/can-we-eve...

Texas Democrats? Full manhunt. Epstein list? Witness protection.

Perez: The governor's coordinating the Texas department of public safety with the FBI, the president—this is really the type of coordination that could have been used when Texans needed it during the recent floods.

It's coz empathy is a sin.

THIS! 😅

Some folks that seem incapable of judging a person on the totality of their actions, and, instead, choose to define them by their worst moments.

This "zero grace" approach is ultimately self-defeating--everyone fails the purity test at some point. What they do next is what matters.

Almost every startup goes through that tipping point where the founder goes from being an asset to a liability. Tesla was no different and that was before all the political stuff.

Another spot-on thread by John. Bottom line; the GOP concluded some time ago that the only way to stay in power is to cheat.

“We’re watching the worst president in history manipulate the worst White House press corps in history every day,” says MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell.
And to that I say amen.

And we're still paying the unintended consequences of that meeting

At this point, anything short of a loud, immediate, and full fledged endorsement of Zohran Mamdani is an admission by establishment Democrats that they prefer Trump's candidate over the people's nominated candidate

The fact that Est Dems are still silent is why the Dem Party has a 26% approval

Next step is a monument at Pearl Harbor honoring the Japanese pilots who died there.

Given all the structural challenges Dems face with real elections, this really needs to be double digits.
