Just as the American West enters an abnormally warm spring and summer after an abnormally dry winter (and more of that pattern likely to continue).

Oh my good gods. First back to the war, and then back to the dark ages.

In every way, Pam Bondi placed Trump's interests above those of DOJ. She tried to bury Epstein files and wildly bent the law to prosecute Trump's enemies. She flattered him in public. His demands were impossible to meet. But he can't fail. He can only be failed. newrepublic.com/article/2086...

Christian nationalism watch

So much this. Also, the tech bro mafia doesn't really like reading. They don't *appreciate* reading. So just because *they* can't spot the difference between good writing and bad writing, they think most people can't either.

They talk about books they way they talk about women, with suspicious and uncomprehending contempt.

Every sentence is a future bestselling novel

President Donald Trump claims that he has eliminated inflation, but that is far from the case. The Labor Department’s consumer price index was up 2.4% in February compared with a year earlier. It’s still above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.

This is awful. What has happened to the US?

may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

John Calhoun said the U.S. was a "white man's government." John Bingham, one of the authors of the 14th Amendment, said that this was a "horrid blasphemy." The birthright citizenship case is ultimately about which America we are going to be. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The SAVE Act would be the most restrictive federal voting bill to ever be passed by Congress. Lawmakers should be protecting the freedom to vote — not restricting it. Watch: bit.ly/4dfPQrx

Speaking as a writer, a bookseller, and a reader, this is asking for a boycott.

Imagine your Fall 2026 elections had more sites, more days, and better functions. For North Carolinians, those decisions are happening now, in Rowan County and yours. #ncpol

ICE has no reason to be at or near the polls. It has no role in enforcing election laws. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

You can see pretty clearly when the President decided to reassure a worried nation.

This, but just on repeat

You have GOT to be kidding me. Mission Hospital in #Asheville snagged the 95 extra beds the state was awarding to the area, even after countless failures of HCA to effectively run this system. This is the worst possible outcome. #HCA #MissionHospital avlwatchdog.org/despite-mult...

Tonight! 💙

Start the fire. Walk away. Tell the world they’re on their own.

There's no escaping the consequences of their corruption.

🤦🏻‍♀️

Scream this from the rooftops.

Lib women are just like, "yeah, orange man is bad, we're going to go out and patiently organize people to fight him" and the US media is all 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

@chriscooperwcu.bsky.social Saw your quote in AVLWatchdog today, and laughed at your understatement about the poor communications. Had to explain to my neighbors (one a doc!) that the appraisal didn't mean that same % increase in the bill, as the millage would go down. Panic is a poor tactic. 😄

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

And the exact opposite is gonna happen

The United States hasn't executed an amphibious landing, extremely complex operations where a lot can go wrong, in an actual warzone since World War 2… and nearly all of those were bloodbaths.

the thing about this question is that the answer is so obvious to anyone who’s experienced real life that there’s no way to answer it without cursing, which is maybe fine

I have snacks with me but yes #NoKings

#NoKings #Asheville This was the most "Asheville" sign I saw today at the protest/march. A very large crowd, so pleased to be a part of it. I'll bet darth would appreciate this sign, but they're never here on weekends...

Making sure Jeremy Peters stays employed and in good standing at the New York Times no matter how shoddy and cynically partisan his reporting and writing get is one of the most political things the New York Times leadership does.

Billboard this.

HAPPENING NOW: A HUGE crowd has gathered in London, England for a protest against the far right in coordination with the No Kings day protests in the US

Today is #NoKings day across the US and many other places. Don't listen to the right trying to de-legitimize our protest, our voices. We are the majority. Let's act like it. Looking forward to your photos today. #Asheville

When people are dehumanized, we often go back to the most recent high profile tragedies (e.g., Nazi Germany, Rwanda, Israel). But lest we forget that sometimes it has another outcome. Tiered citizenship arguments like Miller’s are awfully reminiscent of a certain country’s “peculiar institution.”

There are a whole bunch of reasons to turn out for #nokings tomorrow but here are maybe the top two: 1) huge turnout is a signal to republicans edging away from Trump and puts steel in Dem spines. 2) least we can do to honor bravery of Minnesotans who turned the tide

#NoKings in #Germany Check out here:

We're officially up past 3,300 protests tomorrow. Happy No Kings Eve my friends. ❌👑

It’s been fun the past few years, having people lie or be useful idiots about how Anti DEI is just about merit and not a backdoor whites only policy and then insist those of us who saw that clearly are shrill or paranoid

Attacks on Transgender Americans Are Attacks on Health Care www.commondreams.org/opinion/atta... @brucemirken.mas.to.ap.brid.gy nails it.

Save PEPFAR to Save Lives! Please write to your members of Congress today and ask them to save this life-saving program. from @defendpublichealth.bsky.social, CDC Alumni & Friends Network and Health GAP actionnetwork.org/letters/save...

i said last year that these people were segregationists and that “merit” just meant “white and male” to these people

hello what did i miss tell me every thing

Criminal records can stop people from getting jobs and housing. This is not only bad for them, it can hurt the economy as well. Clean slate laws aim to fix this problem. bit.ly/4s11r0Z

This thread fits with a theme I've been writing, exasperatingly, for more than a year. Congress has decided not to exist, and with 2 years of abdication, even if Democrats win control, the new normal will be hard to reverse. Might as well sell the Capitol, who needs it prospect.org/politics/202...

This is brilliant. Pass it on.

This is ridiculous.
