Love David Byrne….hope the kids at Coachella were paying attention and appreciated the genius they were witnessing last night "Love and Kindness are a form of resistance"

Can never get over how tawdry the modern Right's view of Western Civilization is; nothing to build, nothing to aspire to, nothing even really to destroy or wage war against, just sullen resentment of their own children and seething hatred of the cities whose economics subsidies their regimes.

Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

highlight of my day is checking in with jackie and shadow to gauge their parenting skills

there’s so many bad guys

🔥 @rokhanna.bsky.social to Democratic leadership: “Get out. Let a new generation lead. You’ve been ineffective. The base doesn’t like you. The base wants fighters.”

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Could be worse. We could have had a woman president.

again I point out how strange it is that high-level diplomatic negotiations of war and peace are being conducted by freelancers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have egregious conflicts of interest, and not the actual secretary of state

In 2020, I argued every state must count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day. Today, the RNC argued no state can. That is how far the right has descended into voter suppression. And it is why I continue to fight.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

WTF 🗞️ Congresswoman Summer Lee walks out of a hearing with Pam Bondi because James Comer calls her a bih when she asks will the Committee hold Bondi in contempt. #Epstein

Here me out...

Dear World, Don’t help him. Oppose him. Defy him. Embarrass him. Arrest him, if you’d like. We’re not with him. Sincerely, Decent Americans

there is no greater proof of democracy's failure than the continued existence of daylight savings time, a thing no one likes

I know a lot of people who have been through some form of this and it is cruelty for cruelty’s sake, pure torture without even the fig leaf of lies about intel gathering

sure the pedophile felon president just illegally bombed a country that may have nukes while federal forces under his command murder and harass people in america and immigrants are tortured and he moves forward with plans to build concentration camps and sorry idk where i was going fuck all of this

I’m happy we got custody of the F word in the great divide.

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government. But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza. This is textbook censorship of the highest degree

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

Yes, #WSJ, study this

He's literally creating a war, the "I deserve the Nobel Peace prize" guy

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Impressive man. Terrific writing.

My statement on President Trump’s actions in Venezuela.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day. Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

But, of course, that’s a bridge too far for Gov. #KKKemp with his oh so proud $14b in surplus (no Medicaid expansion). But yet, we have a failing healthcare system where OB/GYNs are not in more than half of GA counties creating healthcare deserts. Gov. Brian Kemp can go fuck himself.

Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire. The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich. We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

listen I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

'People forget what Khashoggi was investigating when he was murdered. He was writing about Kushner turning over classified info to MBS, who used it to hunt down, arrest and murder his opponents.' h/t @cocacolakid

If Epstein’s claims are true, Trump lied about his involvement & knew about the abuse Bondi & Blanche, Trump’s former personal lawyers in DOJ, ignored their duties to the Constitution & victims This is corruption, plain & simple I broke it down on @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social👇 - TN

Is the American Gestapo's message that it's better to bleed out on a horse than on the ground? And note to the semi-literates in the Trump administration: It's "lay" when you place something, "lie" when you recline on your own.
