Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p... Curious if this Kornhaber fellow complained about stagnation when it was all white guys doing the art?🤔

sending ❤️to Michael Sheen and his family during one of the most difficult times a person can face.

Tonight at 9pm on @C4Dispatches ‘Michael Sheen’s Secret Million Pound Giveaway’. The secret bit was the setting up the company obviously it’s not secret anymore! #FairBankingAct www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

I'm delighted to introduce A Home for Spark the Dragon, my new picture book for young readers, co-written by Jess Webb, with illustrations by Sarah Massini published in association with homelessness charity @Shelter. Available to buy at bit.ly/SparkBookshop

Listening to Elizabeth Warren on Trump’s latest corruption is a wake-up call: a $2 BILLION stablecoin deal with a foreign crypto firm that enriches the Trump family—*and* the Senate might greenlight it? This is legalized grift. Raise hell before it’s too late. 🧨💰📣

Where does the accumulated debt of this country come from? It comes from Republican Presidents. So much for Republican's being the party of fiscal responsibility, all to pass their tax scam.

NEW: PublicSquare, a website that lets you search for businesses in your community that explicitly want you to know they endorse Trump/MAGA values, is backfiring as people use it to boycott those businesses. www.huffpost.com/entry/public...

I taught my class about the development of mass media in the West, especially in pre 1800s colonial America...learning this explains much of U.S. legacy media's current failings and inability to meet the moment.

yup, agreed. it’s so pointless, but not my first time with these folks.

Rural hospitals will shut down. Disabled kids will lose therapists. Families will be stranded without care. All so Republicans can hand out more tax cuts to billionaires who don’t need it! This isn’t policy—it’s cruelty. Medicaid Cuts Kill‼️

2/ I would say further that this isn't even part of the immigration debate or issue properly speaking. That's not the lens. It's a basic rule of law, people are scared about slipping into dictatorship issue.

I'm certainly not the only one. But I've been saying this. The White House is losing the war over public opinion on the Abrego Garcia case badly. 26% is an astonishingly low number. Trump is losing a significant chunk of his core base on this. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

starting The Artists Way for nth time. my mind keeps wandering to my own alternative, The Atheist Artists Way. but that’s a little mean spirited, I guess. sigh…

‘SINNERS’ overperformed official estimates and actually opened to $48M domestically. Biggest opening for an original film this decade. Read our review: bit.ly/SinnersDF

BREAKING: Harvard University says it has sued the Trump admin in federal court in an effort to block the government from freezing funding to the school.

One of the fun outcomes of the migration to BlueSky has been the gradual unveiling of Tolkien nerdery that seems to have been suppressed on Twitter.

Sugar telling me what she read when she was included on the second Signal chat with Pete Hegseth

Exactly.

Once on vacation I had to drive an hour to an FBI field office just to find a secure phone to call into a White House meeting. Pete Hegseth is an amateurish mockery to anyone who ever actually took security seriously and needs to go.

@republicansrevil.bsky.social thank you for sharing this

Once again it is pretty obvious Trump is out of touch with reality. According to Trump the price of eggs is “getting too low.” He said egg prices are “down 87 percent.” Apparently the groceries stores in my area didn't get the memo when I bought eggs last week. Trump lies about everything.

Transparency, accessibility, and accountability are values that have guided my work in Congress since day one. This Thursday in DeKalb County, I’m hosting another town hall to update you on what’s going on in Washington. RSVP here to attend! www.eventbrite.com/e/rep-underw...

there’s no reason not to do this. it’d probably end up with another kind of constitutional crisis, which is exactly why it should happen.

“I’m doing good things,” I tell myself as I delete the military service of a dead woman. “I’m still a good person.”

I can’t compete with this

Don't worry about how you convince your hard line MAGA uncle. Maybe try mentioning the assault on social security to your aging grocery clerk. They're likely an easier target and then follow it up with an action step. There are a zillion groups organizing right now. Tell them about one.

There's basically three categories of people. People who know and are pissed/terrified. People who know and love it. and people who don't know. The latter category is HUGE rn.

And the other reason I know people don't know is graffiti. There's very little graffiti. I'm hardly seeing any graffiti. No fuck trump. No deport elon. nothing.

Putting up stickers has a side benefit too. It's a little illegal. It's kind of against the rules. and you need to get used to doing things against the rules. It's a little bit of anarchist calisthenics. harpers.org/archive/2012...

Look, you can shake your head. You can call them "idiots". You can shame them. You can blame the news. Or you can talk to people. It is YOUR job to get them to know. Make a little contribution with your friend group. Get some people together do some sidewalk fliering on a weekend. Put up stickers

I just reskeeted @prisonculture.bsky.social saying people don't know. I'm telling you people don't know. I keep having conversations, even conversations with people who are in media who are missing huge chunks of what's happening. People are busy and aren't directly impacted so they don't know

If I could speak to the heads of big law firms, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some clients worth betraying your oath to the rule of law? To everyone nodding but refusing to take a stand, I say: You are ignoring Martin Niemöller’s message. It is you that Martin Luther King Jr. was condemning.

last night a group of black leaders in the game industry came together to talk and support each other in our own peaceful space. these are the people you should be looking out for.

In this week’s episode of Serious Trouble I described Greg Gutfeld as what would happen if Gollum had a meth habit and a cable show. I want to let people know that I have heard, and take to heart, and will consider moving forward, their criticism that this characterization was unjustified to Gollum.

“look, this study says that if you feed mice nothing but canola oil they get sick” “yeah no shit sherlock”

i find the seed oil hysteria completely baffling. “if you use seed oils to fry foods it might be carcinogenic!” uh, you’re eating a plate of FRIED FOOD

you’re ineffable-you got this👍🏾
