A sense of defenselessness, of being unheard and unhelped, has become the common American culture, the thing that unites people on left and right. And we need to understand that deeply if we’re going to stop political violence from spreading further.

ICYMI, I proposed a bipartisan Stand Up To Trump Freedom Fund for lawyers, personal security, etc. so people can fight back if they are investigated, sued or fired. Should be set up now so people voting next month on Trump nominations know it's there. www.thebulwark.com/p/funders-sh...

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

Ahhh as expected, President Biden has granted a full pardon to his son for a specific time period in order to protect him from future prosecution.

What could Biden do to protect abortion rights before he leaves office? Several things, as I reported last month:

-Preemptively pardon abortion pill providers who could be charged under Comstock
-Complete EMTALA investigations
-Finalize repro-related regulations

So a reminder:

It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.

It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.

My mom, as many know, has said some truly unpleasant things to me over the years, but this far surpasses that. While this mother has apologized for that letter, it sounds pretty truthful to me. I cannot imagine ever writing such a thing to my sons unless they deserved it, even at a tense time.

ditto.
I think the best thing about this place right now - for me, at least - is the growing sense of community. And sense of humor. Two things I could desperately use right now.
