This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Shorter JVL: The courts realize that regular order has broken down. The media and private enterprise ought to realize it, too. www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

The governors are really making the Democrats in Congress look even more feckless than usual.

The rejection of national unity post-Trump is right on the mark. I study conflict in Africa, and the failure to hold perpetrators of violence accountable is a major factor in renewed conflict. We ourselves are still suffering from our failure to hold the South accountable after the Civil War.

I use Mermaid in Quarto

the people who did this should be afraid.

I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.

What you would do when authoritarianism comes to America is what you are doing right now www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/o...

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

As a soon-to-be resident of the Bay Area, I say Booooooooooooooooo!

This emergency food aid, enough to feed about 1.5 million children for a week, will be incinerated tomorrow rather than distributed in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Another in a long list of Trump's crimes against humanity.

Personalist autocracies underperform, whereas institutionalised autocracies perform similar to democracies (in terms of economic growth)

I would like Trump's letter to Brazil to live on as one of the important primary source documents of the Trump era, linking trade restrictions in historical memory to impunity for criminal behavior, right-wing nationalist authoritarian politics, coups, domestic illegality, and simple illiteracy.

We must all do our patriotic duty of clicking every link and watching every clip CNN uploads to YouTube about Trump's Epstein cover-up. 🫡 Go login to Facebook for the first time in 7 years and share it with your weirdest family members and most credulous long-forgotten high school acquaintances.

Today I used Claude Code to convert a long completed latex manuscript to quarto. It was done flawlessly on the first try. That saved me hours of work.

I'm doing my patriotic duty by watching every single YouTube clip CNN posts about the Epstein coverup.

Today's stage of the Tour de France took place in Normandy, and TV coverage featured footage from Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery. After all their sacrifice, I can't believe Nazis are back.

Given the evidence my investigators have seen, this reeks of a coverup.

This is the kind of insinuation it is your patriotic duty to spread. The Republican Party has poisoned our water forever, and we can’t undo it but we can return the favor. Keep going until we create woke Pizzagate, except this time, it’ll be true.

It's become pretty clear over the past 3 weeks and/or 3 years that the "Democrats need to expand the Supreme Court right now" enthusiasts were correct in 2021, and that if and when Democrats regain power, they cannot get caught flat-footed again slate.com/news-and-pol...
