Saturday Evening Thoughts:

The Trump administration is counting on something.

Not your agreement.

Your exhaustion.

Authoritarian movements rarely succeed because everyone supports them. They succeed when enough people decide resistance is hopeless.

Don’t give them that victory.

History is filled with ordinary people who faced moments that seemed impossible…and acted anyway.

Call your representatives.
Support independent journalism.
Show up locally.
Stay informed.
Stay engaged.

Democracy isn’t defended by heroes riding in on white horses.

It’s defended…by millions of stubborn citizens…who refuse to surrender their voice.

The goal isn’t to never feel discouraged.

The goal…is to keep moving forward despite it.

That’s how democracies survive.

And that’s exactly why our participation matters.

While Hurricane Erin will thankfully not be a significant hurricane event for the US, it will be a big swell generator this week. Be safe in the surf!

[Paul Dellegatto⚡️FOX @PaulFox13]

As tough as it is, try to ignore the endless 10+ day doomsday frame grabs of the GFS model. They are everywhere, and they are posted for engagement and $$. If and when there is something to be concerned about, I’ll start talking about it. It’s a long season. No need to start it off with unnecessary angst.

It’s time to talk about the House moving to impeach RFK Jr. His unilateral actions to restrict COVID vaccine access and also cancel the contract with Moderna for mRNA flu vaccines places the health of this country in jeopardy. He’s unfit to be HHS Sec. https://t.co/girBrlaBgM

If they are actually going to enforce deportations in FL at job sites then the construction industry in FL will grind to a halt.

Until they can replace those employees with US-born workers willing to work outside in the summer in 100 degree heat & humidity. Should be no problem.

He is insane and has a messiah complex.
Extremely dangerous combination.

Like a lot of other people, I am a multitasker. I have 289 open tabs in the browser I’m writing on right now, and I usually have 4-5 screens within my viewing range. So, I see a lot of the surface of the media sphere, including, for example, my TV screen which almost always has the sound off.

As @MSNBC was reporting today on the Trump regime’s unconstitutional, racist, vicious attack on Harvard, I saw numerous chyrons on the allegedly “liberal” network portraying this raw fascism as a “showdown,” a “feud,” a “battle” and so on.

Dear Media: Stop doing this. I’m begging you. This is why we got here.

This is not just “bothsides-ing,” it’s lying. It is rank, false, state-sponsored propaganda, especially when you platform a regime apologist to promote it. This is doing the government’s work to normalize the previously un-normalizable.

If some part of the media can’t resist carrying the water of this authoritarian fascist state, it will cement the fate of America. Nevertheless, it sure seems like they’ve all given up already. If so, it is the death knell of the Republic.

This is like Trump calling Ukraine being attacked by Russia a “feud.” This is not a “showdown” between two equal entities, it’s an American institution being unilaterally torn down for no reason other than bigotry, ignorance and greed. And to instill fear in the hearts of every American, or anyone who would dare to try and come here from another country to learn.

I only went to a few semesters of college myself. It just wasn’t my thing. I have no “dog” in this fight. However, I understand how important these institutions are to the very fabric of American life. I want my grandkids to be able to go to college if they want. And I want the innovation that comes from these places of learning to continue in my country.

To destroy the education system is against the law, against common decency, and against the interest of the American people. It’s intellectual terrorism no different than how Hitler waged his war on knowledge as he created the worst death machine in world history—by brainwashing his own country from childhood up.

“Universities in Nazi Germany were strictly controlled by the authorities. Senior university professors were hand-picked Nazis. The subjects that were taught in universities had to fit in to Nazi ideology and few in the universities were prepared to openly defy the regime.”

This is exactly what Trump and the broligarchy want in America—independent thought is not to be tolerated.

Words matter, especially the ones you put out in front, or at the top, of your story. Harvard is standing up for itself, and I’m grateful for that. But why should anyone else put themselves at risk when the media will just mischaracterize tyranny as a “showdown” or a “feud”?

The press must do better right now or it will never have the chance again. This is not a “battle.” This is a war. On all of us. Get it right.

Why do I keep going on about Covid?

Because the accepted narrative seems to be that Covid was harmless and the vaccines were dangerous

This is wrong and I won't allow history to be rewritten

Not without a fight, anyway

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

I am so proud of Pelley!

Why do so many people refuse to believe that Covid vaccines saved millions of lives.

Because they did.

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

🚨 NEW: Sec. John Kerry comes out strong in defense of President Biden:

“I think there's been a certain amount of piling on. And I think they ought to allow the president to have his privacy as he deals with a very tough diagnosis,” says @JohnKerry.

He adds Biden had “total full faculty,” was “a tough taskmaster,” and “demanded precision and answers” and was the most legislatively accomplished president in 60 years.

He made the tough calls—and he made them right.

Well said, Secretary Kerry!

[JB Pritzker @JBPritzker]

There is still an opportunity to make our voices heard and to stop Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” from becoming law.

This is not final. Call your Senator today: [phone]

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

Our current president is severely mentally unwell, and the media needs to cover it now.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, renowned journalist Scott Pelley just highlighted how Donald Trump is working to stifle free speech in America, and how he plans on fighting back. This is huge.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

This #MemorialDay, we pause to honor the brave men and women who selflessly made the ultimate sacrifice for all our freedom. Let’s commit to be worthy of the heroic actions too many have made for those freedoms we take for granted.
