So, we are all agreed...

We are not doing a 2021 repeat of "moving on' with "unity" and "bipartisanship" when this era of authoritarianism is mercifully over.

We are prioritizing "accountability" and bringing these criminal bastards to "justice", right?

Only a historical precedent of holding these bastards accountable could ever prevent its repeat.

Throughout history corporations and their leadership have a terrible record when it comes to authoritarianism.

They will almost always disappoint anyone hoping they risk losing even a dime to stand up for democracy.

It is always a pleasant surprise when a corporate leader does the right thing.

So it is the Maduro regime still in charge without Maduro and we are just taking the oil with no freedom and democracy for the Venezuelan people, and domestic and international law irrelevant. Horrific.

Show over.

Now release ALL of the Epstein files.

I feel like we are waiting for the “norms” and “win the midterms” folks to catch up the reality that we don’t live in the same country as before and that the rubicon has already been passed.

When historians write about the fall of the USA they will say four things:

(1) The same white supremacy the USA was founded on proved to be its undoing.

(2) The same Electoral College originally created to prevent a populist madman from being elected President eventually enabled one.

(3) The American electorate didn't care enough about their own democracy to show up to vote to save it.

(4) Members of Congress cared more about "norms" and saving their seats than saving their country.

It is 1, 345 miles between Bellingham, WA, and San Diego, CA.

Let's aim for a Pacifica High-speed rail that goes end to end in 10-12 hours.

(We probably have to plan and fund it ourselves as the federal government is broken for the indefinite future and they won't even give us the federal disaster relief we already paid taxes for.)

Donald Trump's job title shouldn't matter.
Arrest him.

The difference between Donald Trump and Jim Jones is that Donald Trump would charge for the Kool-Aid.

Here is the 60 Minutes segment that Trump, MAGA, and Bari Weiss didn't want you to see.

It aired Global TV news in Canada.

All these “We’re not a democracy, we’re a republc” idiots don’t really respect the “republic” parts of the US Constitution either.

They just want tyranny of the minority without the consent of the governed.

Trump will likely be out of office one way or another by January 2027.

Vance will then fully implement Project 2025 for at least two years having dictatorial powers and immunity granted by this Federalist Society Supreme Court that will be upholding it for at least two decades.

Look beyond Trump.

When the South Bay BART extension to Santa Clara finally opens, it will be fantastic. It looks like there is finally movement.

World AIDS Day. Remembering and honoring everyone we have lost, who lives with, and who is working to end HIV & AIDS.

Musk revealing the location of MAGA influencers being from Russia,
India, and Nigeria proves what we have known all along.

MAGA was a foreign psy op — arguably the most successful Putin psy op in history.

Let’s make “America First” for real with the world’s best universal healthcare system, rail system, and transit systems.

Did it occur to any of those 86 Democrats who performatively voted against theoretical “socialism” to offer an amendment to also condemn actual “fascism”?

I hope Zohran Mamdani dropped a hint; “You know Mr. President, you can turn your poll ratings around by getting Republicans to vote with Democrats for Medicare-for-All. “

They are going to try and get away with releasing a "concept of the files" first.

If a country's national security depends upon protecting a ring of pedophiles, than it is time for that empire to fall.

Release the full unredacted Epstein files. No cover-up of Trump.

If you are on television defending grown men raping 15-year-old girls because they are not 8-year-olds, that should probably end your media career.

I don’t want to see a single fundraising text or email.

I want to hear what the recently created blue state public health alliance is going to do to maximize the powers in the 10th Amendment to bring universal health care to the people in our states after the ACA collapses in January.
