Where is Donald Trump and the Supreme Court leading our country? Tune in for this week’s therapy session with @normornstein.bsky.social and @djrothkopf.bsky.social. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... youtu.be/m8Ubl-5hp0w

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

"I want to get in for a term to get rid of the guy, and then a term to create basically an American legal reconstruction, by passing laws to make sure that this kind of autocratic threat (doesn't happen again)."

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

MacFarlane: People in Virginia voted by the millions. Their voices were heard and now have been silenced. And you want to talk about what starts a political wave in a year like this: a mass of people who think their voices have been silenced. That doesn't stop a wave that fuels one.

Every day they get more vile.

"those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable." - JFK

Trump Media, the parent company of Truth Social, just reported its 2026 Q1 results. It lost $405 MILLION on $900,000 in revenue.

They'll release the UFO files, but not the Epstein files, which tells you all you need to know about the distraction strategy the Trump administration is relying on. Don't look away!

The Speaker of the House in Alabama calls on the courts to “overturn the 14th Amendment.” This is the same legislative body, a court found engaged in intentional racial discrimination in drawing voting maps in the Milligan case. x.com/austinpratt_...

Realized some international folks don't know this? But here in Canada you can't link to news articles + media outlets on Facebook or Instagram anymore. They're banned And it's just cause megacorp Meta doesn't wanna pay for anything so instead they killed all our access to journalism on FB/Insta

Welcome, to Canada President Obama..a real president 👏 🙌

Hey it’s Forest Friday! Baby Redwood trees next to the mother tree. 💚🌲 #redwoods #forestfriday

The mood on the ground in Tennessee today.

Exactly.

I needed this little breath of joy. Thanks, @joycomes.bsky.social

@hcrichardson.bsky.social I looked up managing partners of Vantor & Planet. Their businesses intersect w T* via Jared Kushner (which one may assume also crosses-thru w Israel). It'd take more research than I want to do on Marshall, Maldonado & Mussafer; but the collusion's disheartening.🧵

Thirty football players join the suit against Ohio State involving the sexual abuse by Dr. Strauss, and Jim Jordan, former assistant wrestling coach said he knew nothing of the abuse. Hmmm. Methinks Jordan knew.

ICYMI — After Republicans stripped majority-Black Memphis of representation, this was @brotherjones.bsky.social in the rotunda. Damn. (From NC5)

How those claims about the air purifying qualities of plants stack up.

7 May 1943 | A transport of 1,000 Jews deported by Germans from ghetto in Zagreb (Agram) arrived at #Auschwitz. After the selection, only 40 men were registered in the camp. The remaining 960 people were murdered in gas chambers.

Hugs to Evike Schvarc & her friends and family. No one deserves this treatment.

He's gonna destroy that too. They say it could be irreversible. Someone arrest this vandal!😡 www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

It's not going to just stop with one group of marginalized citizens. We have to end this white nationalist fucking bullshit ASAP.

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

One party always spends money like a drunken sailor, the other always cleans up after them.

Remember: Republicans cut taxes at the expense of future generations by running up the deficit. #econsky deficit spending *also Republicans are tortfeasors* www.huffpost.com/entry/gop-ba...

New sign up! I passed these out in my neighborhood this week. ICE is in most cities now. Stand with immigrants and let ICE know they're not welcome! ICE OUT NOW. Grab yours: www.etsy.com/listing/4438...

There's still work to be done! It's a better time than ever to remind folks whose fault these high gas prices are. Midterms are approaching and it's vital that voters know that Republicans = HIGH PRICES. Grab some stickers at my small Etsy shop: fedupstudio.etsy.com

I hope everyone subscribes & reads the Professor's Daily Letters.

Rubio’s refusal to properly honor Foreign Service Day & the 300+ FSOs who died while serving, is an affront to their service. Now, he's firing 250 of these non-partisan civil servants while we are in the middle of a war that is testing our alliances & endangering Americans around the world. [1/2]

New Yorkers always respond well to shit like this.

Congrats to Julie K. Brown! She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.
