Since people are remembering the tea party: a critical part to remember is that much like the open up campaigns of 2020, it started as an astroturf campaign by billionaires like the Koch brothers.

When I say the media has a deference to money and power I mean it.

Cleve Jones: "This Is Our Country" This is the first guest essay at Meditations in an Emergency. I'm proud to bring you yesterday's speech by the great Cleve Jones, who has for nearly half a century been a key organizer for the global ...

Cleve Jones gave a riveting, rousing speech at San Francisco's No Kings rally yesterday, and he's graciously allowing me to publish it. He began: "The pronouns I use the most are the ones probably understood the least by those in the White House today. They are WE, US and OURS."

The reason this administration is so blasé about destroying the economy is because they plan to exist outside of it while the rest of us plebes suffer.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

This is real: the United States still hasn't figured out how to mass-manufacture the tips of Sharpie markers. Every Sharpie Trump uses has imported Japanese parts.

Also real: China did not figure out how to make a simple ball-point pen domestically until roughly a couple of weeks before Trump 1.0:

Exactly my thoughts and reactions. Also, you'd think this would not surprise me ...it never occured to me this was the reason 🤦‍♀️. My brain has not been completely broken by these stupid effers yet & I'm not warped and malevolent like they are. They are just utterly repellent & grotesque.

Well, the deal went thru so they can speed propaganda to the non caboe TV masses too now. Thanks Vought et al! Effers.

We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it.

But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.

Even as a young boy named something else, JD Vance dreamed of the day he’d be a TikTok star at the peril of America. 🤩

You're never going to get banner New York Times coverage of No Kings unless they're given reason to impugn the protestors. It's time to start measuring the lack of coverage as evidence of how effective this dissident movement is.

When we are teens we have the excuse that the frontal lobe is not fully developed yet (Ferrari w/no brakes). These are all people with fully developed frontal lobes &, in theory, cognitive maturity and max ability. Terrifying and hilarious (gallows humor). Talk Abt arrested development!🤦‍♀️😂🤣🙄
