You fight the little battles you know you’re gonna lose and you keep piling them on and you stuff sessions and the courts with as much anti-fascist defense as they are with fascist takeover tactics. If cruelty is their intention—make them feel it, too, legally, financially, morally. Do the job.

People make decisions about whether the law matters. Their names go on those decisions. Don't give up and assume they will ignore the law.

Make them choose. Make them own it.

Liver, chitterlins’, gizzards.

MOGA. Make Offal Great Again.

This episode is about harvesting anger productively, taking up more responsibility, and drawing lines.

If science is a public good, defending it means showing up—and saying no.

They found him. He died.

Another murder by our immigration goon squads

I'm still working on it, I promise.

Supreme Court Says You Can’t File Tort Suits Against Postal Carriers Who Won’t Deliver Mail to Black People According to Clarence Thomas, mail that your mail carrier steals from you is really just “lost,” if you think about it.

You can't sue the government if postal workers accidentally drop the glassware you ordered or lose a letter from your pen pal

The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that this means you also can't sue if postal workers refuse to deliver your mail because you're Black

While unlikely, if Trump takes the House by one seat, the Maryland Senate leadership should resign.

Always a waste of money.

If he ends up a Hoover but not a Putin, I would call it a win at this point. We'll see.

How to stop a dictator I spent months studying how authoritarians like Trump lose. The answer is shockingly simple.

I have spent the past several months studying the cutting-edge research on modern democracies that have defeated authoritarian leaders.

I've learned that the conventional wisdom on the topic is wrong — in ways that have clear implications for the US going forward

Incredibly explosive testimony…..please watch and share….

So, while we are in the street standing up for science and the scientists who can’t risk standing up for theirselves…you’re what? In your lab? Keeping your head down in “resistance”?*
*ppl at risk are not included in this!!!

Do better. Grow a spine.

The beer one is not an example that helps his point.

The bartender usually only asks for ID if there's some reason to doubt you are of age.

Now it may be a different discussion (he doesn't want to have) about who should bear the burden of proof and what's an efficient way to handle it.

"'were unlawful exercises of executive power' that warranted invalidation as 'ultra vires action'" -- oh, she's defintely going to be quoted a lot on that one.

Ultra Vires ...

It's always the same floor.

The numbers would look the same if you asked "Would you approve of Trump being with your daughter?"

Defense attorneys build mapping tool to track Justice Dept. "weaponization" A defense lawyers group has posted a tracking tool to enable users to check on the status of some of the controversial prosecutions attempted by DOJ in the first year of Trump's second term.

"The rebellion by grand juries across the country against the Trump administration's political weaponization of the Department of Justice is unequivocal proof that large swaths of America prefer the rule of law over petty retaliatory agendas," Zaid said.

SAM ALTMAN: "People talk about how much energy it takes to train an Al model ... But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart."

Pratchett is underappreciated in our country.

DOGE Bro’s Grant Review Process Was Literally Just Asking ChatGPT ‘Is This DEI?’ Federal grants that had been approved after a full application and review process were terminated by some random inexperienced DOGE bros based on whether ChatGPT could explain—in under 120 characte…

Apparently, DOGE bros literally used chat GPT to identify “DEI” related grants at National Endowment for the Humanities.

The description is aligns strikingly well with the output we saw at NIH.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

You would stop because you are not sick enough to want to seek unlimited wealth.

This is the real reason why they didn't want Colbert's Talarico interview to air. They don't want to start a new culture war front pitting people's loyalty to Jesus against their loyalty to Trump. It goes to core values, and they would lose.

I remember when Steve Bannon was being called the real president and soon someone in particular got upset and removed him.
