Support for a Ukrainian reporter:

I keep thinking about Oskar Schindler. If his story ended in 1942, history would remember him as just another piece of shit Nazi. But he changed his path, and we remember him for the 1000+ people he saved. It’s not too late for most people to get back on the right path.

For nearly a year, the administration has said that DOGE had no unauthorized access to your Social Security data. A new government filing admits that was false.

Protest songs have always been the soundtrack of American conscience. Bruce Springsteen’s new song about the Minneapolis shootings reminds us that art can still speak truth, stir empathy, and push us toward justice. This is what using your platform for the public good looks like.

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

Republicans should increase the pressure on Donald Trump "to fire the most unqualified secretary of defense in U.S. history," @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

7/ "The Pentagon has not fulfilled a bipartisan request from lawmakers to see unedited footage."

Trump's authoritarian to do list: ✅ control the media

Everyone needs to know this.

I learned this kick ass trick from @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org I decorated the sidewalk in front of the ruzzian embassy with a Ukrainian chalk flag. Some middle aged men take up golf. Instead Ben and I punk the ruzzian embassies 💪 #NAFO

A man who screamed “Kill ’em!” at police during the January 6 riot now works for the Department of Justice. And the DOJ says they “appreciate his contributions.” If you’re not chilled by that, you’re not paying attention. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-doj-ju...

Astronomers have announced that Earth is no longer considered a planet. It is now classified as a hot mess.

As headlines remain focused on Iran and Israel, Russia escalates its genocidal war—targeting apartment buildings, hospitals, schools, and shelters. Despite much of the media moving on, the attacks are intensifying and growing more brazen by the day.

Found this in a Time cover story I wrote in 2006. The Republican Senate was actually moving toward passing a comprehensive immigration reform bill that included tighter border security but also legalization for the undocumented. Then protesters started waving Mexican flags.:

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. (Published Dec. 2024)

Sorry to post so much fundraising stuff today, but something very cool happened: An anonymous supporter agreed to match contributions to our fundraiser up to $15,000. I hope you’ll consider supporting our non-profit newsroom so we can reach the $15K maximum. Tysm! givebutter.com/journalism/a...

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
