Remember Project 2025?
The almost 900-page roadmap to turn America into a fundamentalist, Putinist toy of the richest wants to use a 19th century law to ban abortion pills through the mail — and prosecute the people who send and receive them.

Donald Trump is fighting an unwinnable war to prove he's not a loser. And he's losing.

Obviously, if there are extra ICE agents to just shuffle around, that money should go to save health insurance for all the Americans Republicans took it from.

Protest is a way to publicly put your foot down.
Non-cooperation puts your foot directly on the money hose.
No Kings moves into economic non-cooperation with May Day Strong, as it must.

Happy Trans Visibility Day!
Remember that trans hate is a scam funded by billionaires to rip you off and keep us hating the vulnerable instead of them!
No Kings protesters are wiring a movement built to win
Six things the DC No Kings survey data — and the pivot to May Day — tell us about a resistance that keeps stepping up.
The GOP Supreme Court That Gave Us Trump Will Now Try to Save His Sorry Ass
Me on the horrific decision ending the civil rights era that we're likely to get from Alito as soon as today.
Let this be a reminder that the Roberts Court keeps choosing a GOP dictatorship over a multi-racial democracy.
Trump’s Beijing trip congratulates Xi for:
• Buying 80% of Iran’s oil during strikes
• Funding missiles that hit a US F-15
• Shipping Iran rocket fuel in March
• Grabbing our rare earth "nuts" while Trump folded
• Clean energy & global power domination
Iran is a world power. Xi gets his flowers.

Pretty sure the guy who still can't admit he lost the 2016 Iowa caucus is going to be ok with taking the L in Iran.
I'm an alarmist. I admit it. That may explain why I've rarely been wrong about Trump since 2017.
So if calling the machinations around the "Save" Act and the seizing of ballots in Atlanta an "American Enabling Act" is hyperbole, I'll risk it to make the point that self-rule is on the line in 2026.

Now Is the Time to Demand They Close the Camps
Get out for the Communities Not Cages National Day of Action this Saturday, April 25th.
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of Communities Not Cages events this Saturday, April 25th, National Day of Action.
If we want to close the camps, we have to stand up with our neighbors and say this mass cruelty must end.
Every humiliation is a renewable resource, and the nosedive it powers gets steeper each time.

JD Vance has been right about one big thing this entire regime: The war with Iran is doomed for disaster.
And because he's such a parasite, he could do nothing to stop it, defanged the opposition and now acts effectively like a shady cheerleader for a world historical unforced error.
Lots of people like to tell Democratic leaders what we should be doing. I’m not that optimistic.
Here’s what I think we can do to win the election that will decide how much the next one will matter.
ONLY WE ARE COMING TO SAVE US
A con man can sell anything. What he cannot buy is information that tells him he is one of the greatest suckers of all time. Which is how anyone with an internet connection and an hour to spare ends up better briefed on this war than the president of the United States.
The Case of Earl Warren
How the guilt over sending kids to concentration camps may have led to the unanimous end to official school segregation in America.
I'm going to try to write companion pieces for each new Next Comes What by Andrea Pitzer with clips, production context, and quips from me. Let me know what you think.
Springfield should have been the end of JD Vance. And maybe it still could be.

I find myself no longer wondering IF we are in a world war. Instead, we have to wonder which side the president of the United States, who started it, is on.

We Shall Overcome v Make America Great Again
The war between the phrases defines America.
The side fighting for SHALL keeps making strides, usually after AGAIN fucks up. Then we lose those advances to the marketers of the backlash. Because we've been convinced that persuadable voters are a myth.

If you don’t ever want to hear the term “concentration camp” on American television describing U.S. policy, you have to give Jake Tapper a lot of credit.

The Trump regime is trying and succeeding in sending detainees to lawless countries with no connection to them—places like South Sudan, Libya, Cameroon.

How Democrats Win in November
No matter how you dice it, it’s not by being Diet MAGA.
Marcy Wheeler has put her finger on something that, once you've seen it, lodges in the brain like a splinter you keep probing with your tongue: two psychological locks, together making a Trump Iran deal not merely unlikely but structurally, almost karmically impossible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5RB6U-ML2Y
