Trump pardoned a dozen drug traffickers, bypassed & ignored DOJ input, pardoned dozens of Republican elected officials, business cronies, lawyers, friends, donors and campaign officials. Promised to pardon J6ers who beat cops. I don’t care about Joe pardoning his last son.

Big Mac recently got a golden ticket to live out his days with us.

He has kidney failure so it is end of life care. I know him from the streets for nearly 3 years. I’ve never seen him run or excited. That’s all changed since he came in… (1/4)

Just so we’re clear -
Any party telling you who you can love, what gender you are, which medicine you can take, which books you can read, which history you can learn, what prayers you should pray and what you can and cannot do with your own body, doesn’t give a fuck about freedom.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

We just announced $6 million to help keep Minnesotans in their homes as they age.

Living at home provides people with identity, comfort, and community. We’re working to make life easier for Minnesotans no matter what stage of life they’re in.

I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief. I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching), but for now I’d like to share a very small sample of the work I’ve been so proud to support (thread)

25. Point is, we should learn the right lesson from 2024. The Democrats can no longer afford to outsource their communication strategy and goals to the Washington press corps.

24. Why would they put their fates in the hands of voters who are not only fearful, ignorant and superstitious but deliberately so. Are we supposed to believe they can determine on their own what’s best for them economically? Or can we trust them to believe whatever Trump tells them to believe?

This article is the best description of trumpism yet written.
21. They will do that due to the influence of the rightwing media ecosystem. As @beyerstein.bsky.social wrote, Donald Trump didn’t campaign against Harris. He campaigned against reality.

And won.

Matt Gaetz practiced law for two years at a private law firm. That is the extent of his legal career. He has been under legal investigation almost 10xs longer than he’s practiced law. This is not only a disgrace to all Americans, but the legal profession.

When I was a kid, people in my teachers' and parents' generation, who'd fought Nazis and the Axis in WW II, knew 'but the trains ran on time' as shorthand for Italy's embrace of fascism.

For our time, counterpart would be 'but a dozen eggs cost so much.'
Please do not normalize these radical, extremist, unqualified and highly compromised nominees. I beg you.

People who say they care about women’s and girls’ sports are noticeably quiet about how eliminating the Department of Education would end federal oversight of Title IX enforcement of the equal existence of women’s and girls’ sports

If you ever bought into the idea that any MAGA leader has (a) read, or (b) believes in the Constitution, Tommy Tuberville announcing that the Executive Branch will control the Legislative Branch should end that fiction in your mind permanently. We don’t have a democracy without Separation of Powers.
