@notsoerudite.bsky.social I just listened to your debate with Lila Rose. It's impossible to formally debate her, but before she was reduced to shameless interrupting & strawmanning, you had her backed into so many corners she had little choice. It was great to "discover" you. Best!

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

The occupation of HHS by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has crossed a line that should be UNACCEPTABLE by any American. Congress needs to DO THEIR JOB and rid of us of this threat to our health, lives and national security. This is not hyperbole. This is INTOLERABLE.

Self promo is my bane; it makes me feel like an immense tit when I post stuff about my writing (thanks to upbringing - never blow your own horn), but it is increasingly apparent that all it means is that I'm utterly invisible as a writer... So, anyway. I have books and stories out there.

Thank you! Yes, offramps for your MAGA grandma, neighbor or general Newsmax/Facebook addict - but no mercy for MTG, any GOP in federal office, in the cabinet, at Heritage, leadership in ANY "[state] Right to Life" org, or other political or media appointee placed by the Trump regime.

Human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want

Part of the problem, in my view, is that we are definitively exiting the era of liberal hegemony. Consequently, many people are now experiencing a rude, whiplash-like awakening to the fact that some of their fellow countrymen sincerely and earnestly do not view women or minorities as people.

Elon doesn't want to admit he just read Henry Kuttner's "Two-Handed Engine," which ran in ASTOUNDING in [checks notes] 1955. Everything old is new again!

This. But the long hard road to put them in check starts today. They're going to up their game.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

The pope just explained MAGA pseudoreligiosity Fascist/demagogic movements promise converts an instant high status "identity", just for joining. It appeals strongly to folks who's ytness failed to imbue them the privilege they deserve

I’m being forced to screenshot this because i can’t respond to it. But this has nothing to do with my point, which is not that no one will subscribe (a total straw man), but that consumer spending is pulling back. That is just a fact.

I had a dream Donald Trump was in love with me but the alarm went off before I got him strapped in the Screaming Eagle zip line

Case in point; how Germany and much of Europe prevented their intolerant from weaponizing free speech. It hasn't stopped their poisonous rhetoric, but look what's happened to us

Help this birb!

1. Friends, I want to reintroduce myself — in the context of my new gig at The Contrarian, where I’m now a Senior Writer & Editor.

Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up. I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies. If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.

Listen to Cox Richardson. Keep up the best targeted boycotts. The latest. Boycott Spotify which is supporting Trump.

The American people, simplified: 1. Know exactly what's going on 2. Love what's going on 3. Don't really care. Really.

Fairhope, representing Alabama and doing us all proud! And ma'am, if you need a lawyer, I can probably find a few.

The Right always has openings for those who failed to achieve the status of liberal icon. Ask C hristopher R ufo and Candace Owens.

New from me: The notion that Charlie Kirk represented speech “done right” is a smokescreen manufactured specifically to distract from the single greatest attack on free speech in the 21st century. Kirk wasn’t simply offering an opinion, he was right-wing power personified.

We're going to make history tomorrow. #NoKings

“Dozens of prominent artists and cultural organizations will participate in a series of artistic demonstrations to protest what authoritarian overreach by the Trump administration. The protests, known as Fall of Freedom, will take place on the weekend of Nov. 21...” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/a...

Invest 24 minutes to learn more than you'd care to know about immigration, the ICE raids and agriculture. All of it. I'm gonna give you a huge spoiler with one word: It's called . . . Slavery This will blow your effing mind. [24 minutes] www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdWr...

This woman's a farmer I followed on Twitter for years, I trust her word. ICE detention is a route to slavery. youtu.be/zdWrHb8b-c0?...

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Zimmer scrapes off the whitewash, leaving Vought what an everywoman like me would call a whack job.

"Democrat oriented" RIFs

Wrong again. The frog and unicorn costumes are all of us mocking the Trump regime and its lickspittles like you.

Make your plans for #NoKings. October 18th. Free speech is action. Please join in. You'll see me at one of the events. www.nokings.org

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

If Chicago wanted to make those Texas soldiers feel at home, they'd wait for a blizzard, then turn off all the power and go to Cancun for the weekend.

The hand-wringers: "Oh, what CAN we do? What CAN we do?" Heather Cox Richardson: There are 52,000 candidates on various local ballots. PAY ATTENTION: Who is fighting for democracy? REGISTER, help those candidates in their campaigns, and most of all, VOTE!!
