It’s truly a beautiful thing that a 14th Amendment citizen, ACLU lawyer Cecillia Wang, was the person to argue to birthright citizenship case at the Supreme Court. And she was amazing. Far better than the guy trying to take away her citizenship.

Airplane hits fire truck at 24 mph and both pilots die? Maybe these airplanes need better safety mechanisms for pilots…

Really powerful essay in the NYT today (gift article): www.nytimes.com/2026/03/22/o...

Uhh, thanks a lot, Claude.

The 10 Steps to autocracy, and even more important, the 10 Steps to freedom and power. 10stepscampaign.org @staceyabrams.com @democracyforward.org

Stacey Abrams at SXSW getting ready to talk about autocracy.

Taking every chance at SXSW to speak truth about the current administration.

Badged up.

Someday, if we’re lucky, maybe we will have leadership in this country that doesn’t act like teenagers.

Who’s going to be in Austin for SXSW? I’d love to find some people to meet for coffee! I’ll be there Mar 13-17.

The commander in chief wore a baseball cap to the transfer of the fallen soldiers at Dover AFB. A real class act, there.

At least Tulsa is ranked slightly higher than OKC. But still no idea why anyone would choose to live here. wallethub.com/edu/healthie...

You know it’s bad when Russia can legitimately slap you around for moral failures in the UN Security Council.

Air Force 1 had to turn around for an “electrical issue”. Read: Trump chickened out.

Noordwijk is quite snowy this week!

I genuinely want to know who’s buying Tesla vehicles at this point. I don’t know any liberal who would get near one. And EVs of all kinds sit on lots and gather dust in deep-red Oklahoma. No self-respecting republican here would buy one.

Cuomo's staggering entitlement and very public destruction in his (hopefully) final race should be a lesson to the rest of the old guard in Democratic power: retire before you get the beating he did. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/o...

Only evil, heartless people would ever consider this to be reasonable. (Gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

It feels like a new day after a hopeless five years. It’s been less than 10 months.

Thanks, GOP. My health insurance now costs over $30k per year. And it's entirely your fault.

Hell, yes.

In what way did 10DLC do anything positive for the world? It made sending SMS as a small business a thousand times more difficult. And as a consumer, I get more junk messages than ever before.

What sort of monsters use hungry kids as pawns to score political points and try to get their opponents to cave?? Oh yeah, the monsters that run the United States.

I remember a time when October was Fall.

I do not condone violence outside of self-defense. That said, Charlie Kirk was an evil human who should not be “honored” for his “work”. Maybe he was a great dad, and if so he should be honored for that. But not for his pathetic, bigoted views about race and trans people. He was an awful person.

We built a good thing, America. Unfortunately, it’s almost gone. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/o...

Spot on. Columbia's administrators are fools. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/o...

I'd love to hear some (worldwide) Jewish opinions on this (it's complicated, i know, so maybe in person rather than on a short-form platform like this): www.nytimes.com/2025/07/20/o...

Response sent to the White House. Summary: The planet doesn’t need an emperor dictating trade. Mainland Antarctica already has millions of Emperors, and even their droppings do more good than the White House’s globally destabilizing policies. In other words, go take a long hike on thin ice.

I have nothing to celebrate today. Certainly not this country.

1,301 days left.

My neighbors down the block have a Trump flag flying. They also have a Latino yard crew mow their lawn every week. Can they not imagine how those men feel right now? Half of America has no compassion at all.

It’s beyond baffling to me that people think the NBA championship was a “big deal”. The fucking world is burning, people. Our country has become a fascist playground. There are real things to focus on. Sports, even billion-dollar sports, are GAMES.

After watching The Keepers on Netflix recently, I could not care less about the pope nonsense. There is zero chance the old white guy will do anything to hold other Catholic men accountable for sexual abuse.

Where’s the IV? The ventilator? This eagle looks entirely too healthy.

"The American elites of the past 20 years have called their foremost principle freedom, but what they meant was impunity. That’s what the original slave masters built: a world where they could do whatever they wanted to whomever they wanted, without consequences." www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

“And once in a great while, someone will light a lantern—or even two—that will shine forth for democratic principles that are under siege, and set the world ablaze.” open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

A program that provides free healthcare to first responders and survivors of the World Trade Center terror attacks has been in turmoil for months, with services cut, restored and cut again as part of the Trump administration’s “restructuring”... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The rest of the world now sees the United States as the problem. They will find solutions, and the US will be left behind. The world, and especially the US, will never be the same. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

… “a world in which the US gives people finance and gets back inexpensive goods strikes me as good for the US. We give them entries in computer databases, they give us back food and clothing: That is a magical deal for us!” -Matt Levine, Money Stuff newsletter, on why trade deficits are good things.

So proud (not) to be an Oklahoman. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Booker is my hero today.

New in PN: John Roberts created a monster. It's about to eat him. "After all, how can the rightwing justices expect a future president — particularly a Democratic one — to accept rulings limiting the exercise of their power from a Court that served as the judicial stooge of an aspiring dictator?"

Trans joy is power. Trans resistance is power. Trans community is power. Together in defiance, we have the power to fight for the future we deserve. 📸 Jordana Bermudez

The NY Times editorial board admits something here that the Democratic Party is unwilling to face: America has turned against us. Fully. Most Americans now believe in the GOP's goals, including the abhorrent social goals. There is no going back. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/29/o...

When @meredithmeredith.bsky.social said on stage at SXSW that “the military” used Signal, I did not think she was talking about the U.S. military planning war using the platform.

Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans of the 1850s stood against the oligarchs of slavery. We need an Abraham Lincoln to help the country fend off today's oligarchs. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
