Probably not coincidentally the same dynamic in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. America mythologizes personal responsibility yet cannot demand or impose it on those with the most power

I’m still trying to wade through the idea that the Epstein Files seems to have ended or threatened more careers outside of America than within.

Different standards, clearly.

At least half a dozen top Trump administration officials appear in the Jeffrey Epstein files The degree to which each individual was connected to Epstein varies significantly, from a single email to years of communications.

Hey, Q! We found the pedophile ring you told us about!

Trump’s going to spin up a Trump University - Military edition no doubt

Hegseth to US military: if you get into MIT, we won't let you attend because of the risk that you will be exposed to ideas hostile to MAGA when you study there.

Vance shouts and Rubio whispers, but the message is almost identical: Europe is on its own.

We cannot base our security on the current mood in the White House.

Relying too much on the US is criminal negligence

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

I'll say again: if our votes, didn't matter the Republicans wouldn't try so hard to stop us from voting or discourage us from voting!
Every vote is important, for the simplest reason more US citizens are Democrat than are Republican. Republicans win because they're most reliable voting block. YVTRM!

Nick Mark MD @nickmmark 1. Demand passports to vote. 2. Make it harder to get passports: Quote WHYY News @WHYYNews · 8h The U.S. State Department has ordered certain public libraries nationwide to cease processing passport applications, disrupting a long-standing service that librarians say their communities have come to rely on and that has run smoothly for years.

They don’t want us to vote.

Because they are NOT the majority.

A good reminder for every time Trump says Europe isn’t doing enough

As I told President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in our discussion at the Munich Security Conference this afternoon, in the next days, on behalf of @europarl.europa.eu, I will sign into law the €90 billion solidarity loan to Ukraine.

Europe stands with the people of Ukraine with concrete action.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

It’s hard not to get choked up watching this. His story is a barometer of how much the tide is turning in this country. This needs to go viral.

Needs to be noted that this is also an effort to pull federal funds out of Colorado, who had the audacity to convict a Trump crony of Fraud, and will not issue a state pardon.

We’re about to FO very hard

This will put us squarely into the FA phase.

FO is coming.
