When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American.

If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

Governor JB Pritzker just announced that Illinois will be defunding investments in companies controlled by El Salvador to punish the country for holding American residents without due process.

That’s what you call a trend. On Wisconsin ❤️
Now I’m just a small town country lawyer but it feels as though rather than abandoning our most targeted and marginalized communities to win over 19 bigots, Democrats should run on “we’re going to impeach remove and imprison that demented evil criminal fuck and his pale ratty Nazi billionaire, too”

International Women's Day has become a day I approach trepidation--waiting to see Ipsos's annual poll.

This year's results don't curb my anxieties. 53% of men globally (47% of US men) agree that efforts toward gender equality have gone so far they're hurting men. And young men agree most of all.🧵1/

Essentially, Reagan gave us distrust in government, plus trickle-down economics, plus precarity, plus scapegoats. And those things together are what gave us Tr#mp. 6/

I truly believe today is the lowest point in American history.

And the terrifying thing is, I don't think we're going anywhere but down—unless We The People decide we will not.

It’s like Red Dawn except Russia only sent one guy and his bone spurs prevent him from parachuting so he used an escalator instead.

Dear President Zelensky,

As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here.

I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders.

Trump is a monster and a shameful smudge on American history.
This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.”

I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

No one will be surprised but I've been watching www.youth.gov website spin as it tries in vain to load the content of a (former) government resource. It once promoted healthy youth and anti-radicalization resources for families and educators.
Gone.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.
