In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

He was corrupt, he was callous, a wretched mayor, but you gotta hand it to Eric Adams: he got extremely far in politics for being one of the weirdest people ever.

Say it often, say it loud: "Overall, research has not supported the common-sense presumption that digital approaches to schooling are better than non-digital alternatives. At the broadest level, widespread computer use in education has been found to be associated with lower student achievement."

Why have we let this heinous man and his evil minions destroy all that was good about this country? We could have avoided fascism and I will never understand how people knowingly voted for this chaos and inhumanity.

Masked agents indiscriminately chasing random people on the street who are just doing their jobs and minding their own business provides further evidence that we no longer live in a democratic society governed by the rule of law

This is so heartbreaking. 💔

lol what on earth, man

These two gotta go! This is not leadership.

If you think Trump deploying troops in American cities is nothing more than an opportunity to pivot to a completely different subject, you do not belong in Democratic leadership.

Slowly losing your surviving parent while the country descends into fascism is downright awful. Feels like madness.

I had this set as a kid! My kids have some of my old Barbies (which my mom saved) but only the ice cream pieces from this set.

We are already there.

Universal childcare wouldn't just relieve working families of a massive cost burden. It improves the whole economy. "There are a lot of reasons building a child care system that works for everyone is important to our children, to parents, to employers and to economic growth."

Every day we reach new levels of stupidity. There are so many real problems to tackle and we are stuck in this painfully dumb timeline.

I don’t think any country in the history of the world has ever done anything as stupidly self destructive as what Trump and RFK jr are doing with vaccines.

No one has been more vindicated than normie resistance Dems, women’s marchers and never-Trump Republicans. They were right all along about the threat. The anti-anti-Trump Republicans and reactionary centrists, and the far left “it’s always been this bad” folks have been proved wrong over and over.

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

Love this!!!

More this please! From all Dems in power!

Relate to this deeply as a person who had to care for both of my parents who became disabled - one to Parkinson’s and one due to a brain injury.

It is genuinely humiliating as an America to have this sour, cowardly, narcissistic lout represent us and to know that so many Americans applaud conduct like this. Just deeply embarrassing.

Just sitting here thinking how weird it is that thinking all people should have access to childcare, paid leave, healthcare and affordable housing makes me a radical leftist.

“The Trump administration’s effort to prevent undocumented immigrant children from enrolling in Head Start … is on hold nationwide after [Republican-appointed] judges issued injunctions.” But harm has already been done. @ericameltzer.bsky.social for @chalkbeat.org www.chalkbeat.org/2025/09/11/j...

Personally I’d rather this money go to universal child care and free universal health care. Too bad we didn’t elect Warren when we had the chance.

Mourning a country--its land, ideals, and people--is like mourning the deaths of family, except no one comes to tell you they are sorry they are gone. There is no food, no memorial. I did not know I loved so many things. I did not know they were so vulnerable.

We are so screwed.

We invest 9X less per child-year in care & education in the first 5 years of life than the next 13. This gap in public investment is why K12 is free for parents & early care & education is expensive. www.hamiltonproject.org/publication/...

I believe @karenattiah.bsky.social practices politics the right way, actually.

All the people being fired for telling the truth about Charlie Kirk—many of them women—in the aftermath of his death demonstrates that his legacy was never one about universal free speech. It was only ever about about straight, white, conservative Christian men spouting bigotry without consequence.

I was shocked recently to see a handful of parents posting in our local parent group seeking “vaccine friendly pediatricians” who will change the vaccine schedule. This is in a super progressive NYC suburb.

What a time to be alive.

Charlie Kirk was a garden-variety bigot with a penchant for demeaning the "brain processing power" of Black women, but pointing this out in the face of a cynical effort to portray him as a virtuous model of civility and political debate was unacceptable.

The Washington Post is no more. Good journalism in the US has been scattered to the winds, and we now have to harness those winds ourselves.

I hate this reality so much.

Living with small children means always finding small delights like a bath baby doll wrapped up in a child size robe.

100% of people know Trump's signature on that disgusting birthday card is real, just as 100% of people knew that Christine Blasey Ford and Anita Hill were telling the truth. The right is a force for violent misogyny and the media is mired in terminal, nonsensical bothsides-ism. So here we are.

I really miss living in a country with a democratic government. Fascism is really horrible, already.

This is almost as bad as the We Work School: WeGrow.

In addition to gerrymandering Missouri's congressional map on Trump's orders, Republicans also gerrymandered ballot initiatives to require majority in every congressional district rather than statewide majority to pass “It’s minority rule on steroids” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We are so far from a democracy. Everyday there are at least five new reasons to scream and feel despair.

This is such great news! New Mexico is leading the way!

Proud to say I’ve always despised this man.

This is gross and deeply disappointing.

Excited to present this great essay by Ashanty Rosario, a talented young journalist who attends Newtown High School in Queens, about how she's experienced the arrival of AI in the classroom. "These programs have destroyed much of what tied us together as students."

This is truly insane. I have tons of family in Florida and what Republican leadership have done to the state is beyond dismaying.

Totally insane and wildly dangerous. Children will die, and Florida will export communicable diseases to the rest of the country and the world.

It’s wild how much shopping at Shop Rite makes me miss my mom. 3 years gone and Shop Rite just makes me heartsick for her.

What are we doing people? Our society has so deeply lost its way.

I know it’s all bad faith bs BUT I keep thinking about how the whole “reason” we apparently can’t pass any effective gun control legislation to prevent mass shootings is the idea that we need an armed populace in case the federal government decides to invade our cities and towns. Like??????????
