Because I am a writer, and an editor, and I cannot resist sharing this video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxfx...

I feel so sorry for the baby. Hopefully, its mother is...smarter than Daddy? Like, a LOT smarter??? God's teeth, but the "masters of the universe" are idiots...

New euphemism for misogyny getting a test run?

Okay, that is TOO on the nose... Do I laugh, cry, or scream?

She combined the green beans and carrots...and are there any herbs/spices on those veggies at ALL??? Okay, half a point for not doing the horrendous green bean casserole, I guess...🤷‍♂️ But minus points for the boring pre-fab crescent rolls...

Saints preserve us, Mrs. Betty Bowers--are you writing NYT headlines now??? 😅 (Spoiler alert: America's Best Christian is NOT writing NYT headlines. But well done anyway.)

As an editor (fiction, not news stories), I approve this message. And as a writer, I hugely appreciate *my* editors!

True then, true now.

This history nerd says: True.

Well, yes, there is that. (eye roll)

To @senate.durbin.gov, because I called your office but couldn't leave a message earlier today. DO. NOT. CAVE. ON. HEALTHCARE. Any promise of a Senate vote on extending the ACA subsidies is worthless, because a) These guys lie like rugs, and b) Mike Johnson won't hold a House vote. DON'T GIVE IN!

That closing line...well done. No notes. :)

Oh lord, spot on... (giggles hysterically, also buries head in hands)

Stop lying, Mr. Emmer. The GOP has the majority; you guys can reopen the government any damn time you want. Do it and quit whining. Or sit your asses down and negotiate with Senate Dems to keep the ACA subsidies intact and reverse the ugly Medicaid cuts. Your choice, cowards.

But, ya know, which party is laser-focused on "kitchen table issues" and "lowering the cost of living"? Making life better/less expensive for "average Americans"? Tell me again, pundits? (Or you could just go again with, "Joe Biden old/Kamala Harris laughed too much.")

The old "deserving vs. undeserving poor" trick. Nice. (Not.)

Thank you for this, sir. You've put into better words than I can, something that I've sensed for a while but couldn't quite put my finger on.

Very on-brand for Trump, malignant narcissist that he is. Thanks for all you do, Congresswoman Crockett. Where the h*ll are your colleagues in the GOP???

That is *exactly* how the Gray Lady would put it. Sigh.

Let's do this everywhere!!!

(head tilt) ...And this would be snark/satire, as opposed to a headline the Gray Lady would actually go with, how?

Oh, the horror.../s

"Appears to contradict the government's [read: ICE's] claim..." (deeply sarcastic tone) Huh. Fancy that.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

1,000 % agreement with this.

Cardinal Dolan is a whited sepulchre. A terrible excuse for a Catholic. He just lied through his teeth about Charlie Kirk, whose words and actions had little (if any) connection to "the truth". Or to the Christianity the man professed. You know, the one that says "love your neighbor as yourself"?

I'd say Edith Wharton by way of ChatGPT...

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

And this man claims to be a devout Catholic. As I recall, the revered Catholic Church father, St. Augustine of Hippo, despised lying above just about every other sin... (See also: "Thou shalt not bear false witness." And the Eighth Level of Hell in Dante's Inferno.)

Truth, sadly. Not sure whether to roll my eyes or just break down sobbing. This timeline bites.

The reactionary SCOTUS majority is illegitimate. They just proved it again.

My hometown. I love you, Chicago. 💙

Thank you...EVERYBODY should be calling for this.

This is an excellent idea.

OMG, *yes.* Fourth Estate--do your job! Quit playing stenographers for fascism!

Pritzker is getting it in a unique way.

Because "transparency," don'tcha know. 🙄 #EpsteinEpsteinEpsteinEpsteinEpstein

Because everyone needs a tortoise today. 🐢

Please share this deleted tweet far and wide. ABC News just suspended senior national correspondent Terry Moran for making it.

Keep this in mind when you read/hear about "chaos" and "unrest" in the pages and on the screens of corporatized mainstream media outlets. Peaceful protest is an American birthright.

This is a great message tool. Make it go viral.

Oh, now, that comparison is COMPLETELY unfair to Madeleine Kahn...

THIS. Please, please, especially news orgs, STOP writing about every Trump Executive Order as if it's a real, enforceable Thing That Is True and Legal from the moment his grubby orange fingers sign it!!!

Nice to see this from CNN. Actual coverage of protests that are happening!

Because of course he has. "King" Donald, indeed!

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, truth-teller. 👋

Loving the guy in the blue dinosaur suit in the back.

YES. THIS.

Fight, fight, fight.
