"Totalitarian" is the word Eric Sevareid used to describe the Axis countries during WWII. It is the word I use now to describe the US.
From 6 - 18, I grew up in NYC listening to #WINS (before news), #WABC, #WNEW-FM, and for politics, #WBAI, #WEVD, and #WNYC. It is odd to me that the rest of America did not have a Pacifica station and doesn't know what it is. I am listening to #WOMR now, which is a Pacifica affiliate on Cape Cod.

This seems a significantly worse "tell" of derangement
-Sen Kelly has flown nearly 40 *combat missions* as a pilot.
-He's done 375+ carrier landings (Jeesh!)
-He's been in space as astronaut.
-He's flown 50+ different kinds of aircraft
And Hegseth and Trump are picking fight about valor with him?

The Department of Defense announces it's considering "court-martial proceedings or administrative measures" against Democratic Senator Mark Kelly.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Trump Has a Recipe for War and Corruption, Not Peace
Who would benefit from the White House’s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

That's why I headed to Washington, DC to speak at the #RemoveTheRegime Rally with thousands of people and a slate of candidates who refuse to back down.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent.
Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo54...

Such a shame about Tatiana Schlossberg's AML. I wish there was something I could do. I gave a talk at Brown about this disease about 2.5 years ago; much progress has been made with targeted therapy, but apparently not enough. @weldeiry.bsky.social

The most important thing to remember about all this fantasy-engineering of the Constitution is Madison's warning: If we suck as a people, no clever constitutional schemes will save us.

My quote of the day
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

Through tax avoidance, Presidential & Congressional capture, and Supreme Court corruption, America's wealthy have assumed the role of foreign and domestic policy makers.
"The owners" prefer their complete control of government or no government.
The last thing the wealthy want is democracy.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Larry Summers is an economist who has reliably been in the bankers' pockets. The same bankers who were rescued by the mantra "too big to fail". To hell with them. Reorganization would have led to a better outcome.
But Barack Obama was too new and too conservative to know better.

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."
