The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum argues. https://t.co/hNLMZ7JYQ9
"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war."

Back when I was the unofficial official videographer-stenographer for MUSD board meetings. The moment someone becomes the de facto historian of a system, that system will eventually decide they’re “a problem.” Not because they’re wrong, but because receipts are inconvenient.
No, we did not teach cases at the Naval War College where the president loses his last grip on reality and wants plans to start wars against our own allies. Amazingly, we did not think we had to design cases about a POTUS in a de facto alliance with the Kremlin to destroy NATO.
Minneapolis resident: “This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane!… I’ve never protested in my life before…ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!"
Never in my life have I so thoroughly sided with Europe in a disagreement with the United States. They are right and America is in the wrong here. The White House is behaving dishonorably, and the legislators who know it but do nothing are cowards.
Trump is GUTTING classrooms, SLASHING school funding, and KILLING public education.
THANK YOU to California’s educators for rising up to fight fire with fire and defend our democracy!
This week started with administration officials refusing to acknowledge that Russia started the war in Ukraine. It ends with a tense, shocking conversation in the Oval Office and whispers from the White House that they may try to end all U.S. support for Ukraine. I know foreign policy is not for the faint of heart, but right now, I am sick to my stomach as the administration appears to be walking away from our allies and embracing Putin, a threat to democracy and U.S. values around the world.
I was asked why we Brits dislike Trump. This was my reply:
A few things spring to mind.
Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom...
