Yikes.

Outrageous.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes: 1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia. 2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea. 3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Louisiana resident here. Gobsmacked by this appointment. A true outrage.

If you’re flying this holiday season, know your rights before heading to the airport. 

Read this 🧵⬇️

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Yes, take your eyes off your script and express some outrage, Senator. @schumer.senate.gov

No words.

No words.

3 of the 4 happened here in chicago. each one is an outrage.

Seriously? The Wild West Skies??

My god

Tragic.

In fact, Trump's margin of victory was one of the smallest in the last 100 years. bsky.app/profile/buck...

This ladies and gentlemen, is Louisiana congressman Clay Higgins. What a dumb loser. Meanwhile he's getting paid while a large chunk of his district struggles to put food on the table. kfoxtv.com/news/nation-...

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

And they wonder why the state ranks as one of the least healthy. ⬇️

Do watch this — to the end.

“Trump appeared as unwell and unstable as any leader in history - my caution to you is that he has the potential to be much worse than any despots who have come before.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...

Odd, how MAGA couldn't draw enough attention to imaginary children being molested in #Pizzagate, but when it comes to *real* children being molested in #Epsteingate, they desperately want our attention to be elsewhere.

Do better with the headline, Tribune ⬇️

No words.

Pathetic.

Cannot like. Need an appalled option.

Here are the still images. Please share them widely.

No.

This is one of Noel's very best. Please read it

one of the stranger phenomena in American life is that hate is supposed to flow in one direction (rural people get to hate urban people, Republicans get to hate Democrats) and if the hate goes the other way people pretend as if this is very upsetting.

My God. Please make sure everyone you know knows this.

This is a real thing being posted and circulated by the Department of Homeland Security, referring to undocumented immigrants as “foreign invaders” and urging good Americans to turn them in. (I’ll leave it to BlueSky historians to find comparisons to WWII era materials.)

Thread. ⬇️

This is a real NYT headline

The first Memorial Day, May 1, 1865.

For the life of me I will never understand why his mental deterioration isn't headline news every single day.

This speech should not have had to come from the Supreme Court’s most junior member. It should have come from the full Court. It should have come from the whole federal judiciary. And it should have been amplified by the nation’s legal community. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Outrageous. And just cruel.

This has to be the most brazenly corrupt act in the history of the American presidency. Trump is holding a contest to see who can pay him the most money and the prize is direct access to the president It is literal pay-to-play

Trump has signed more than 120 executive orders since taking office. These orders aren’t law, but you wouldn't know that from the headlines. 'It’s the media’s responsibility not to leave the public with a false impression,' @sulliview.bsky.social writes margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/trump-pret...

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week. They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions. Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

Cinco de Mayo parades in Chicago, Philadelphia, and San Jose have been canceled due to organizers' concerns about ICE raids and anti-immigrant sentiment, as community members fear attending.

For companies, for universities, for institutions of all sorts and for individuals, the right side of history is presently lit up with a light brighter than the sun. The decision on where to stand shouldn't even require thought.

A deeply thoughtful discussion. Will be available on the AAR website within the week. ⬇️

No words. None.
