Why I will never give to @actblueorg.bsky.social again: in 2000, I gave to political candidates. Now I am bombarded with 30-40 pleas for money by text and even more emails. Unless they let you give a fake number/email, do not give. I have to change my phone number and email because of ActBlue.

Trump continue to show he is the dumbest president ever. He just ranted how terrible it was for Russia to be booted from the G-8 (when it invaded crimea, but he seemed not to know that was the reason.) He blamed Obama and Trudeau. Trudeau was not prime minister until after Russia was removed.

Does anyone else believe Kilmer Abrego Garcia has already been murdered by Salvadoran government & Trump Admin knows? Senators aren't allowed to see him, the DOJ risks contempt, El Salvador says they won't ever return him. I strongly suspect this is the secret they're hiding.

I..Im stunned. In just 3 months, Trump has destroyed our 150 year alliance with Canada. The era of economic, security and military cooperation "is over,'' the Prime Minister announces. Trump is so busy going after Greenland for BS security claims, he may have just lost NORAD.

A Turkish PhD student at Tufts on a student visa was snatched off the street by men dressed in black with black baklavas & thrown into unmarked van. A federal court had ordered ICE to leave her alone & they ignored it. Her crime? Writing an op-ed in support of the Palestinian people.

I’m on a flight and the guy next to me is watching Fox News. I am hearing none of it, but just based on what I see on the screen. OMIGOD. No wonder these people live in delusions. They’re being told Biden is trying to ban dozens of appliances. Nothing like twisting a kernel of truth to lie.

The Supreme Court: "Who Needs Democracy When You Have Us?" Grabbing power, dodging logic, and calling it "justice" when it suits them

So, the Chief Justice's whines about criticism of the court - but it should be more. The court is seizing power from everywhere - Presidents, Congress, States, agencies, citizens - following no coherent judicial philosophy other than worshiping its own authority.

Elon Musk, J.D. Vance, and their Support of German Anti-Semites The Vice-President and Co-President Elect Elon Musk reach a new Low in global Intellectual ignorance. Or does this reflect their true beliefs? Or Both?

New on my substack: it seems Musk & Vance don’t have a clue about German extremists they cheer. After all, why read German court rulings or findings on AfD’s anti-Semitic ideologies when you can bask in the glory of being “controversial” on social media, right?

That's not the issue. It's why THIS guy? There are so many people on death row who deserve a chance. This man is a violent, repeat murderer who kills the defenseless. I was sure there would be some problem with his trial or rehabilitation. This guy did not deserve the attention of the White House

I was sure there would be some problem with their trials or rehabilitation. This guy did not deserve the attention of the White House

... who was one of the drug dealers he was protecting. Then, while in prison, he planned the execution of a fellow prisoner, pushing the guy to a concrete floor then stopping his head into mush and breaking his neck. How the hell is he worth of White House attention? I'm sorry, this is obscene.

However you feel about death penalty, I thought there must be a reason behind who Biden chose in commuting sentences. The first one I checked, ShannonAgofsky, deserves to rot in hell. Former cop, ran cocaine protection racket, beat ppl up. Mother of 3 filed abuse complaint, he hired a hit man.../1

We Are on Our Own From Marc | Our institutions are not going to save us. Only we can do that.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.

So, this week I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

I like this…..

Trump, Rape, and ABC News The president-elect's lawsuit signals the threat he poses to the 1st Amendment

My new Substack: Trump argues that saying a jury found him to have committed rape is libelous. Ok so use new words: “a jury found Trump attacked a woman, forcibly jamming his fingers inside her vagina, which in most states is called rape.” Better, Donald? open.substack.com/pub/threats/...

Trump, Rape, and ABC News The president-elect's lawsuit signals the threat he poses to the 1st Amendment

My new Substack: Trump sued because ABC said he was found to have committed rape. That's the same thing the judge said. But ABC settled, in a cave-in that threatens the First Amendment. So here's what to do about it.

Trump, Vaccines, and the Autism Lie Make no mistake: Because he hangs out with medical frauds, Trump is an anti-vaxxer.

New on my Substack: In 2016, Trump lied about a kid who developed autism after vaccination, twisting a story about one of his allies. "“I was furious,” Trump's former friend told me. "He lied about what happened.” But now, Trump is a full fledged anti-vaxxer. open.substack.com/pub/threats/...

Trump, Vaccines, and the Autism Lie Make no mistake: Because he hangs out with medical frauds, Trump is an anti-vaxxer.

My latest substack: Trump is an anti-vaxxer when it comes to childhood immunization and has planned to do something about it. One of his buddies - the medical fraud who set off the "vaccine/autism" scam and a pal of RFK Jr. - says that Trump told him so. open.substack.com/pub/threats/...

Trump Abhors Knowledge Our country's most ignorant president shows his cluelessness once again

From my latest Substack: Trump may rage about his latest court loss, but "material Trump’s lawyers say shouldnt have been admitted came from their own cross-examinations of witnesses, or was accepted because they failed to object to it at trial."

I swear this is real. Seven years ago, a UPenn frat announced on a private site that it was sponsoring a game of “assassin” for all frats on campus. The first person to respond is a frat member, Luigi Mangione, the suspected united healthcare killer.

I have a relative who is one of a the people followed on a social media site by the suspected united healthcare shooter (just an acquaintance). Fox News called him & asked for an interview. He politely declined. Then called me and said “they must not know we’re related & so I know what Fox News IS.”

He is a private citizen. He could be a hard-core criminal and it doesn't matter. We didn't elect him to anything.

Since United Healthcare killers shells said “delay, deny, depose” & police said he came from Georgia, I reviewed all lawsuits on UH’s unjust claim denials there. There are so many, including cases where UH delayed till plaintiffs ran out of $. Some ended in deaths of kids. Suspect list is endless.

An outrageous pardon? On what planet? Critics of the Hunter Biden pardon live in a fantasy world

New on my substack: "Prior to Hunter paying his back-taxes, he owed $2 million. MAGA thinks those charges require decades in prison for Hunter.

Yah, well, I lied. Hunter owed $1.4 million. The scofflaw who owed 43% more? Roger Stone. And he wasnt even charged"

An outrageous pardon? On what planet? Critics of the Hunter Biden pardon live in a fantasy world

My latest substack: The folks who haven't fallen into the MAGA cult, yet still criticize the Hunter Biden pardon, are living in a fantasy world devoid of knowledge about the case, precedent, and the venal authoritarianism of Donald Trump.

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic' Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

Well, looky here.
