My own mission. If anyone implies that we won't have more elections, correct them. That wish comes straight from Trump and Putin. Americans own American elections. Trump is a conman and liar. It is not his call on our elections.

Just like in the parks, safety comes first.
- Stay with your group
- Follow the signs (or in this case, the facts)
- Leave no one behind
- Document everything
- Don’t engage alone

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · Jun 8

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.

Don't give them one.

Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Q: "Pope Trump, what is the New Testament?"

A: "Well, like it says, it's a testament. It's a very beautiful testament. And it's very new. It means so much to people because it's so new and beautiful. And it's a testament. A very beautiful testament. And it's new. That's what it is."

The conman who was forced to shut down his fake "university" because its operation was consumer fraud, is trying to undermine America's oldest, most prestigious, legitimate university through an abuse of presidential power.

!!!! Harvard’s older than the U.S. itself. Trump’s legal strategy might not survive next Tuesday

It’s like they printed the First Amendment on a bar napkin and now they’re mad Harvard won’t buy a round.

George Conway 🇺🇸🚫👑🐸 @gtconway.bsky.social · Apr 19

So the White House story is now:

“We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.”

The country is now run by thugs and idiots.

Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard

An official on the administration’s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

This report hits a bold new note of scientific accuracy. 224 lbs—again. Where is the missing 100 lbs? Repurposed for golf trophies? A ballast system? Is the colonoscopy real? Should we send thoughts and prayers?

Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney.bsky.social · Apr 13

President Trump is expected to need a follow-up colonoscopy in 2027 (acting President Vance for a few hours?) and his doctor’s totally objective analysis notes Trump’s “frequent victories in golf events.”

Cirellan @cirellan.bsky.social · Apr 13

I feel the concern too. However, I still believe we must claim our elections—out loud and every day. We must not wait to find out if we’ll be allowed. We claim our vote. That fear is what authoritarians rely on. I won’t carry their message.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

IRS lawyers advise that what Trump wants to do with private tax information is likely illegal.

They do it anyway.

IRS commissioner resigns (3rd one gone in 3 months).

Hello courts: your turn.

Billionaires are stealing from us. They’re crashing our 401Ks and our kids’ 529s so that they can make money in the aftermath.

The people who have the most are stealing from the people who have the least.

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

The Penn endowment is ~ $20 billion. They could tell the Trump administration to get lost (at least with respect to some of the demands) and spend 1% of the endowment for the next year while presumably going to court.
