ICYMI — an exiting news producer essentially confirmed everyone’s suspicions about what Bari Weiss is doing to CBS. www.thewrap.com/media-platfo...

On the one hand, the presidency is a fundamentally broken institution. On the other hand, Congress is a fundamentally broken institution. On the third hand, the Supreme Court is a fundamentally broken institution.

With none of Trump’s public rationales making any sense, the most compelling reason to start a war seems to be to distract from the growing Epstein files scandal. trib.al/v8UtCni

Donald Trump’s plans to throw the 2026 midterms into chaos are already under way. @dgraham.bsky.social reported on the coming election mayhem in our December issue:

WHO THE FUCK COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING YOU ANTIVAX CONCENTRATION CAMP GHOULS did you know that Anne Frank died of typhus maybe don't have people in concentration camps to begin with

The conservatives used to shut down the government over a few hundred million dollars. Seriously. Yet Trump blows billions and sues the govt for billions and gets a “free” jet from Qatar that the govt will spend a billion on then let him take it with him… and not a peep.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

ON DAY 38 of Trump’s Federal Shutdown Here are three new actions we’re taking to rush support to people: 1️⃣ We’re launching a second round of loans for essential federal employees working without pay.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Under European human rights law, someone who enters custody in good health and is seriously injured when released is presumed to have been tortured unless the detaining state can explain the change of health status. Let's hope that the Inter-American system can apply the same standards to ICE.

ICYMI — @gallego.senate.gov : "The only reason Adelita Grijalva is not being sworn in right now is because he wants to protect whatever is in those files. Arizona does not have a congresswoman right now, during flooding, because Speaker Johnson is covering for pedophiles."

"I do feel, both for the sake of political hygiene and the historical record, that someone should tell the simple truth: Donald Trump is a vulgar bigot and a reprehensible human being." Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

OBAMA: 3 TRUMP: 0 This is *really* get under Donald's thin-skin. Good. deadline.com/2025/09/pres...

We condemn the Supreme Court’s decision to allow federal agents to profile people based on how we look, the language we speak, and the type of work we do. This is a dangerous attack on workers’ freedoms in Los Angeles and across the country, and our solidarity will not waver!

As I’ve said a few times now, with Trump’s war on career civil servants and replacing them with partisan hacks, and their penchant for lying about every number, the time will come when smart people are going to have to question the data coming out of Trump’s Labor & Commerce.

And it begins. Republicans haven't passed their bill yet, but if you live in Lincoln Nebraska you can thank them for making you less healthy. There will be many more. www.klkntv.com/rural-southw...

This is the definition of patriotism 👏🏼👏🏼👊🏻✊🇺🇸 Marine officer in LA speaks out against the rise of fascism in our country!! 🇺🇸💙

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom just posted this mocking Trump’s military parade.

This Father’s Day, I’m thinking of the families torn apart by Trump’s cruel deportation policies. Innocent kids are paying the price — simply because their dads showed up for work, were near a Home Depot, or were in the wrong place at the wrong time. This cruelty must end.

The Trump sycophants just keep proving there is no humanity among them. Mike Lee should be ashamed.

💥 Target Board urges shareholders to vote to reject an anti-DEI proposal at its annual meeting today. Despite Target DEI rollback and ensuing foot traffic decline, proposal asks TGT to report on how "affirmative action initiatives" impact "risks related to actual and perceived discrimination."

The right to peacefully protest is protected by the Constitution. But no one has the right to destroy property or commit violence. These are crimes and they will be prosecuted.

💯 this

It’s crazy how much open corruption and nepotism is accepted as normal in this administration. It’s completely unacceptable that Trump accepts lavish gifts while getting ready to kick millions of Americans off their health care.

This is what brain drain looks like in practice. Highly educated, highly skilled people in the sciences who will now be working minimum wage to make ends meet. A net loss for society.

Closing Saturday. #photography

What horseshit from DOD that they "mistakenly" deleted pages on the Navajo Code Talkers, black Medal of Honor recipients, Jackie Robinson, and more. They labeled them DEI and deleted them and then got caught and now they're scrambling. Nobody changes a URL by mistake. Constant lies.

THIS

See you all out there. Pretty sure I’ll be speaking at the LA one

“You sad, shitty human,” said Lincoln Project founder Rick Wilson. “You know the damage to America this will do in the world, but can’t resist the lure of power and Trump’s approval.”

So Romania, Serbia, Hungary. People rising up against authoritarianism. Clearly, we’re up soon.

Companies with a representation of women exceeding 30% (which puts them in the top quartile) are significantly more likely to perform well financially than those with 30% or fewer, and top quartile for ethnic diversity show an average “financial advantage” of 27% over others.

I'm giving a ZOOM talk about the work in my exhibition currently on view at The Photographer's Eye Gallery in Escondido. March 19. 2pm HI time, 5 pm PDT, 8pm EDT. Info here: bit.ly/41ZWL1I #artisttalk #contemporaryphotography #photography #femalesinphotography #womanphotographer

Please take some time to look at this feature I wrote for @analogforever.bsky.social. It's filled with amazing work by women who are working with film and analog process photography. www.analogforevermagazine.com/features-int... #photography #womeninphotography #filmphotography

Today is #InternationalWomensDay, and today and every day, we celebrate and honor women. We tell the stories of incredible women who have fought for equality and blazed a trail. We fight side-by-side for equality and women’s rights.

That is exactly true.

In Minnesota, we value the people who care for our veterans, even if DOGE doesn’t. If Trump fired you, come work for the State of Minnesota and help take care of our vets.

Going on the record on this: everybody having civil rights is good

PHOTOS: Democrats protested President Trump throughout his address to Congress in a variety of ways tonight.

I walked out of Trump’s Joint Address. I couldn’t listen to the incessant lies anymore. Trump’s actions have demonstrated nothing but contempt for our Constitution, our country and its people. He’s corrupting our government, selling it to billionaires, and making hard-working Americans pay for it.

If you want to see Dems fight back, celebrate the Dems who are fighting back like this.

Trump is saying “America is back” but he’s putting America last. Now more than ever we must come together to demand our elected leaders stand up for our communities and stand up to Trump’s billionaires-first agenda.

This is an embarrassment. If you are a Virginian and don't like this, let your senator who is up for reelection know.

Two market meltdowns. One common denominator.

Every single Democrat should be doing this.
