My old email is where I get all my spam: solicitations, job search results, etc. I got a job alert today and looked through it: TONS of ads for CPB. Sadly, my soul is not for sale, and certainly not for $86K and benefits.

As you might imagine, I believe these farmers have been inhaling too much manure fumes.

It is very difficult for elderly people with escalating dementia to control their emotional outbursts. Trump posted on social media about this issue FOUR times in one day. If his friends and family cared about him they would get him serious psychiatric care! www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

That was not a memorial service. It was a Christian Nationalist rally. Let's be clear.

One of my favorite moments in the history of free speech: Larry Flynt publishing a satirical Campari ad featuring Jerry Falwell Sr. as an incestuous drunk who first had sex with his mother in an outhouse. Falwell sued. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court found that satire is protected speech.

This is exactly what we’re going to find out. That a lot of people who need to go to jail won’t is the blood clot on the top of the shit sundae.

We're gonna find out that they just killed a bunch of them

Disney didn’t just incur a $3.8 billion loss overnight. If the boycott continues, it could escalate to over $20 billion. This is how you combat fascism.

They should replace the dot over the I with a swastika. Boycott @disneyprimevideo.bsky.social and all their properties. Mickey Rat.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Some people just won’t be happy, despite getting everything they voted for.

Ongoing thread from early this morning ⬇️

I don't subscribe to @disneyprimevideo.bsky.social and now I never will. I also won't go back to @disneyparks.bsky.social ever again either. Not because of Kimmel specifically, but because of the sheer moral cowardice.

Disney didn’t learn from Tesla and Target. We’re about to take Mickey to school. #DefundDisney launching tomorrow.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

@msnbc.com is a bunch of stinking hypocrites.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

This is a great piece by my colleague @booman23.bsky.social and everyone should read it. @timklateriser.bsky.social @nehoc.bsky.social @jcm800.bsky.social @glopan.bsky.social I'll add that you should read Progress Pond everyday, because it will make you smarter. www.progresspond.com/2025/09/17/d...

Folks, when I say the regime is desperate, I do not mean that it is defanged or beaten. I mean that the means of its dismantling are exposed, and they know it, and fear it. We still have to be courageous enough to do that dismantling, and it only happens if we summon that courage and do that work.

Nancy Mace would be MUCH happier if she went to therapy and dealt with her ongoing gender dysmorphia.

I know the answer to this one. No one with power will step up and fight. Everyone with power will bend the knee and be complicit. Because in OUR world, those with power are almost always cowards.

There’s no such thing as free speech any longer. Our rights are being stripped away from us right in front of our eyes.

Hiding the truth.

Yes, release the Epstein files!!!

Most well written campaign donation request email I've ever received! @katmabu.bsky.social

I always thought soldiers were tough, but I guess I’d be embarrassed and ashamed to be patrolling DC like a Nazi too.

Today the office of @governor.pa.gov lied to me over the phone, telling me that the flag was lowered in PA because of an order from "the federal government," and that ALL states had to do this. AHEM, lying liar says what now? nypost.com/2025/09/13/u...

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

"If they called it 'fun,' it wouldn't be work." Plus, Bongo, you can always resign to spend more time with your wife (WHO IS PROBABLY HAPPY YOU'RE GONE).

Ron Carter is a brilliant bass player. Good to see a story like this honoring him.

Weird, no one qualified wants to teach in the Philly School District. I wonder why that could be? www.inquirer.com/education/ph...

Stephen Miller: “We are gonna channel all the anger we have over the organized campaign to led to this assassination to uproot & dismantle these terrorist networks … we are going to use every resource we have at the DOJ, Homeland Security & throughout this govt to dismantle & destroy these networks"

BREAKING: The Charlie's Murderers doxxing website was just hacked and has been taken offline. I spoke to the hacker on the condition of anonymity. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...

Murder is wrong. Pogroms are wrong. Using a murder to incite a pogrom against a small and vulnerable group in society is wrong. (If I’m not mistaken, an assassination was the excuse for the wave of mob but state-sanctioned violence in Russia in 1881 that gave us the term “pogrom.”)

Ezra Klein is doing tepid centrism the right way.

I'm honoring Charlie appropriately: by using his own words. If that's a problem for you, well GFY. www.reuters.com/world/us/cha...

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

@governor.pa.gov Why are you lowering the flag for someone who had to plead the 5th about their 1/6/2022 involvement? You say you stand for LGBTQ+ people: why did you lower the flag for someone who spread HATE about the LGBTQ+ community. My kid is trans, I don't trust you anymore.

Once again friends, the new Progress Pondcast is up for your listening pleasure. This month: the Senate kills the filibuster; the Charlie Kirk assassination and its aftermath. Listen, subscribe, support us! youtu.be/8g5nem98LjY?...

Thread for you to unwind...

Something people aren't talking about enough is how often Charlie Kirk invoked the Fifth Amendment when testifying before Congress about the domestic terrorists he provided buses to get to Washington on January 6, 2021.

Whoa.

It's probably still processing, but the new episode of the Progress Pondcast is out on Spotify, Apple, Youtube, etc etc. This week: the Charlie Kirk Shooting. Give us a listen, like, and subscribe. Please support us on Patreon! open.spotify.com/episode/152D...

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social, who has been wrong about a lot of stuff, is 100% on the money here. As the dad of a trans person, I endorse this message.

Having a family member murdered is awful beyond words – but it does not give you license to incite stochastic terrorism.

Here in Illinois yesterday, ICE agents attempted kidnapping, committed murder in broad daylight, and lied about what happened. Unforgivable.

I hate that this is what our country has become.
