There Was Truth, and There Was Untruth The Trump Administration isn't Debating the Facts, They're Erasing Them

The emperor is buck naked. And everyone knows it. But if you say it out loud, he’ll take your head.

Sorry for that troll folks. I try to let people express different opinions. Plus, blocking means I care enough to do so. But, what you won’t do is insult someone I care about. Kick rocks loser.

I didn’t want to block you bc why, I appreciate different opinions. But, you’re insulting more than just me. You’re trying to insult someone I care about with a low energy β€œown.” Learn how to debate without being nasty.

There's too much time and too many things that can happen between now and then to give up now. One politician makes once choice over another, and suddenly it's a whole new ballgame. Chaos theory.

We’re not the only ones exhausted. Can’t imagine being a R right now. Their β€œGolden Age” is a big fat turd. How do you justify firing a statistician to your voters or TX stealing seats in broad daylight? You can’t and we’ll see how these town halls go.

Conspiracy theorists & contrarians move similarly trying to demean & belittle folks that offer a glimmer of hope. While I’ll never claim to be hard core realists, I know too much to be naive. I also know too much to give up on this country. He can be angry & rude elsewhere.

You gave NO idea who I am. So, I’m just going to wish you a good day.

So your argument is, hope is useless?And, that one story is the litmus test for your dedication to patriotism & democracy? This feels limited in scope and absolutist. As a person that is out there everyday in ways you probably aren’t, people contribute how & where they can.

He is, right now, successfully taking 5 democratic seats in Texas, it’s moving fast and about to be approved…mid cycle of redistricting….all to retain his power and many many people are complicit

This is y we must keep fighting to push back against MAGA in '26. They won't make it easy, they're playing dirty (&RACIST!) with the redistricting happening in TX RIGHT NOW. But the level of backlash coming their way is what gives us a fighting chance. We hope. #WePersist.

Not being a blind optimist here, but this man does unpopular and ridiculous things daily. None of it is sustainable. While Rs obey they must win to obey. Without Trump doing something egregious to extend term limits like in El Salvador, his acolytes see the writing on the wall & the ink is blue. 26!

Honored to have witnessed this incredible event from concept to execution. It was beautiful to watch everyone come together to produce an event worthy of the late John Lewis’ Good Trouble legacy.

Columbia destroyed its own legacy and possibly triggered the downfall of U.S. higher ed.

No later than 3pm ET. I try to remember to drop a note in the chat. And the interview is definitely worth watching. It’s sobering.

Thank you!!!! Security Brief launching this month.

Today, I’ll be on Substack live for a little while offering my thoughts on Kamala Harris’s Colbert interview.
