Some journalists have asked why Trump didn’t go with his “more robust” tariff plan initially. The answer is obvious, and cold water in the face of those who saw this ruling as a big win for democracy: Trump needed the Supreme Court to vote against him in order to demonstrate that it didn’t matter.

Every time I hear someone on the Left or Right talk about “American Democracy” like it’s something special I’m forced to remind them just how undemocratic “American Democracy” really is: Other Democracies Don’t Redraw Voting Maps Quite Like the U.S. Here’s Why. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/u...

There should be nationwide marches against all the gigantic concentration camps.

Just putting this out here now for future reference: Elections will not fix the current American nightmare. An administration that controls all levers of judicial enforcement and a willingness to disregard the rule of law isn’t going to let “electoral niceties” stand in the way of its objectives.

Let’s say by some miracle the American ultimately remove Trump from office. Now that the full destructive power of the Presidency has been revealed, how do we ever let anyone have that kind of power again? And how do we prevent it without completely re-architecting the federal government?

You don’t cure corruption by naming it, you only prove it’s immune to embarrassment.

From the NY Times - "It has all created a strange dynamic on Capitol Hill: Mr. Johnson appears to be using the considerable power of the speakership to render the House irrelevant." It's not strange if it's the plan. I think there is a > 0% chance that the US Federal Government never reopens.

What I’ve been saying for years: “Democrats must replace their reflexive opposition to President Trump with a positive vision for improving the lives of working people.”

I’ve been making this exact argument for months now - I’m glad it’s finally surfacing in the mainstream media.

How could I hope to stand upon the pedestal I've put you on? My piece for the Down Limbo Lane collab! Which is super cool and totally worth checking out the talent is INSANE #greatgodgrove #fanart

The Great American Brain Drain continues:

The UK is now the “Columbia University” of US trading partners.

Kudos to my former employer - dropping one of the law firms that caved to Trump in favour of one that’s fighting the executive orders.

Trump becomes the first American president to lose a Canadian election

This should be a warning to EVERY law firm, university or country that thinks they can “negotiate” with Trump by capitulating to his demands. Any time he thinks he’s found an “opponent” who’s weak (and everyone who negotiates is an opponent) he’ll continue to subjugate until there’s nothing left.

The US economy (and American democracy) under Trump:

Never fails

So this is happening:

Might be the first time in forever that I’ve completely agreed with Musk on something.
