Yeah when the factual finding is that the administration is trying to make a political point and not thinking of people who need food, it's pretty hard to overcome that finding

Holy crap. MAGA diehard Danielle Jurinsky lost her city council seat in Aurora, Colorado. She more than anyone is responsible for ginning up the false claim that Tren de Aragua had "taken over" the city. She also repeatedly tried to dissolve the city's groundbreaking public defender office.

Affordability is the new groceries

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

One of the big ones.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Answer to every upcoming think piece asking whether Democrats can maintain this momentum: If the president and his party keep acting ~like this~ it's not even going to be hard

If anyone had any doubt that it was high time to primary Schumer... well... tonight should extinguish those doubts.

It turns out if you work really hard for 7 years and create hundreds of jobs and eliminate 9,000 years of incarceration, you also get to meet incredibly cool people and receive beautiful awards and be humbled by the rooms into which you are invited

this is blood libel gutter racism of the kind that you only encounter if you or your staff are spending a lot of time in online spaces that are avowedly white supremacist

I love kids. I have two of them. They’re amazing. However, kids are the absolute least self aware, clumsiest little puffins on the planet. Please don’t drive tonight unless you have to, and if you do drive, drive super slow and pay 100% attention at all times. Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 💀 #PublicHealth

Just incredibly, unnecessarily cruel. And I’d be shocked if there wasn’t wanton corruption going on here, too.

Sure fine whatever

I'm calling my local food bank today to figure out how I can help, because we have a president trying to starve people until the Democrats give up fighting to prevent health insurance costs from doubling. Let's figure out how to feed people and continue the good fight.

When people glorify ‘Tough On Crime’ they are just saying that they are gleefully punitive & nothing more. Being tough on crime isn’t the same as addressing crime. We know that the largest predictor for reducing crime is addressing need. Reducing benefits increases crime, endangering everyone.

I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.

The future!

You know I hear the critique that Americans should protest more like the French and shut down a major road or airport, but in a country with so many guns I hope the world realizes that our protests have to be joyous and even funny for everyone to survive

Obviously, I have a lot of thoughts about the reluctance of prosecutors to prosecute police misconduct generally, but no matter what this is a huge step in the right direction: accountability. Police May Arrest Federal Agents Who Violate California Law www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/u...

There is no difference between Trump destroying the East Wing and using a wrecking ball on the Washington Monument or Smithsonian. Just because he (temporarily) lives there doesn't give him the right to demolish the White House without Congressional approval.

OK yes I realize we're in the world of Nonstop Bad News, but here is something nice--a book that takes you inside all the horrible secrets of our criminal courts, offers fixes + data, and NOW maybe a free shirt if you register your preorder! Thanks @crownpublishing.bsky.social!!

Boston. Wow.

everything in here is correct--it *is* counter to the rule of law to basically decide someone is a 'criminal' first and then come up with a 'crime' later--but it also is always a lil darkly funny when some of these statements are like, 'more and more people are being treated like people of color'

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this* They don't give their opinion to the media They don't criticize how SCOTUS works This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Obviously if the defense made the prosecution aware of exonerating information (which...they would def be aware here if she testified before) and they didn't present it, the resulting indictment is, uh, "vulnerable"

If you're wondering how our official economic numbers got SO FAR OFF FROM HOW PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY DOING, I recommend The Mismeasurement of America, Gene Ludwig's new book. Hugely eye opening.
