Trump is negotiating to settle his lawsuit against his own IRS, and one of the remedies being floated (along with almost 2 billion dollars) is the IRS dropping all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses. Just absolutely staggering corruption.

“The people who told you for forty years that the left was weaponizing the courts have, in the space of a decade, become the most litigious, police-summoning political movement in modern American history. They didn’t oppose lawfare. They envied it.“ 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

A generation of young men is being taught that cruelty is courage and that calling 911 on someone you just provoked is "based." It's destroying them. And I think the snap-back is closer than people realize. (link in reply)

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Particularly painful is the knowledge that we had opportunities to save many, many more European Jews, but chose not to because of strong anti-immigrant and anti-semitic sentiment in the US at the time. ("America for Americans!") It's hard not to see the parallels today.

Just finished Ken Burns' 6-hour doc "The US and the Holocaust." Can't think of another doc that reduced me to tears like that. A painful reminder of what humans are capable of when we decide other groups of people are less than human. I'm shook.

Joe Biden was forced out of the race for showing a fraction of the cognitive impairment that Trump is showing now

@TheAtlantic @RadioFreeTom For all the talk about Biden and his mental acuity, a quick review of Trump's latest public appearances should concern everyone, and at least result in a visit for observation. #dementia

There’s a reason Washington didn’t do this. Jackson didn’t do this. Lincoln didn’t do this. TR didn’t do this. FDR didn’t do this. Reagan didn’t do this. They were all *real* American patriots. This is something you see in banana republics, from Mickey Mouse wannabe despots.

@sentdefender Horrible decision. I'm sorry, but this livery is ICONIC. Nations stand in awe when they see this thing taxi up to world leaders.
