What are we doing here. Why are we acting like this is what Trump said when his post was completely unhinged. I've been screaming for months: stop sane-washing Trump. This is not normal. Subscribe to support independent media that will call him out: aaronparnas.substack.com

We’re not getting war news from grown-ups conveying documented facts. We’re getting social media posts from the most notorious liar in American public life, describing dangerous military actions as if they’re reboots of the old Rambo series.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

KEEP UP THE PRESSURE. Jimmy Kimmel is coming back, but there’s a bigger picture here. Nexstar and Sinclair own the most local ABC stations in the country. Both are waiting on FCC approvals for business deals that could shape their future.

So if I’m understanding this, Tillis said he couldn’t support the bill. Trump said he would choose one of Tillis’s primary opponents to support. And then Tillis announced his retirement. All in about a 24 hour period.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Senate needs to respond to mass firings of Jan 6 attack prosecutors by rejecting Trump nominees. Have a spine and stand up to this autocratic effort to rewrite history and embolden political violence. Block Bondi and Patel.

Democrats are starting to show some fight. We need to see them do this every time: Make a plan, stick together, show people that you're going to have their back — and just say no.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

To bring our country back from the brink, we must tap into power wherever we can find it — in every state, at every level of government. No one is better prepared for this fight than Indivisibles.

Before this month is over, Prof. @timothysnyder.bsky.social may need to rewrite this chapter to something more like, "Do Not Ignominiously Grovel in Advance"
