Black women are making history again — this time by taking strides to step into the U.S. Senate in 2026. And if early momentum is any indication of potential success, these candidates are ready to shake up the status quo and pave the way for a lasting legacy... www.theroot.com/these-7-blac...

The Heritage Foundation is cracking

You don't understand, he's not racist, it's just that he, like many Americans, believes that black people are inferior.

I love when injunctions are bangers. Judge Breyer can be very funny while cutting your heart out! @joycewhitevance.bsky.social 🎈

I've had to have uncomfortable conversations like this with it as well. It sadly assures me it's not feeding me a line consistently. And thank you @hcrichardson.bsky.social for your public nudge yesterday for us to move our substack support from you to others who need $. 👍

I’m starting to love this guy. So smart! “We need to find common ground.” Could not agree more… +++ Hope you can listen to #GavinNewsom and #EzraKlien @ezraklein.bsky.social excellent interview. This is why he’s become the #Democrats ‘ 2028 Frontrunner

What an outstanding thread (and legacy) @beijingpalmer.bsky.social wow

Our bipartisan @democracydefendersfund.org complaint calls for an ethics investigation of the lawyers sanctioning Trump’s boat strikes The American people have to know if their tax dollars are being spent on what experts warn is MURDER At 8 pm ET joining @allinwithchris.bsky.social to discuss

Republicans just wrapped a meeting on healthcare and not even pretending to have a plan. They’re blaming Dems for the shutdown, as if that stopped them from doing the job. They were still getting paid, they could have been working the entire time. 15 years of whining about Obamacare—still nothing!

Millions are struggling with the cost of food, housing, and other basic necessities. 70% of U.S. adults say the American Dream is dead. How does Trump respond? By saying "affordability" is a "Democrat scam" and a "hoax." Hello?

Remember, as Sean Duffy keeps telling us his ideas for air travel -- dress up nice for your flight! do a little workout before you get on too! -- this is an actual Good Thing We Wanted that Democrats secured for us before these assholes took it away

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

NEW: The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans. We found that Trump once did the very thing he claimed could be a crime.

This Amazon driver should be commended for his patience and politeness. I feel an #SNL skit coming. Who will play #RacistGrandpa? #Wyoming

Polish Foreign Minister replies to Musk: 🇵🇱

This thread has important suggestions to add to Mike Levin’s @levin.house.gov amendment to presidential pardon system.

Every new word in this sentence is worse than the last

Show me kind of rhymes with Xiaomi 💕 thanks for sharing this Gil @gpfriend.bsky.social

“.. Federal data shows corporate investment levels are roughly in line with last year, with companies on track to invest over $5 trillion in 2025. The $20 trillion surge Mr. Trump has claimed does not appear in the available data.” @cbsnews.com www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-2...

@amandamarcotte.bsky.social is SO FUNNY and right on. Listen to Amanda who also does great video cuts…

I love #Caterday. ZoZo the cat is not as sweet as she looks, except with me, and even then you never know.

Such a New York state of mind, Whaddaya gonna do about it?” and attitude. I was born and raised in Queens, and only recently moved out of #NYC, its real and generally I love it, but this guy “fuhgeddaboudit”

Supine is putting it mildly, so risky to depend upon any #SCOTUS

So well written @mollyroberts.bsky.social @lawfaremedia.org and fun to read 🫶❤️ thanks 😊

Great opening line for the #Bluesky bunch: “IF YOU CAN PUT DOWN YOUR IPHONE long enough to notice, there seems to be a backlash against social media and tech growing all around us.” Read on… love @thebulwark.com

5 minutes after FIFA gives him a fake medal Trump wants to rename American football.

She does a good job of explaining and cutting the video clips /quotes together. I had not seen some of them.

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

#JackConte is building an Algorithm That Doesn’t Rot Your Brain - I Hope So! great video #CEO #Patreon @jackconte.bsky.social

I’m here for all of this‼️

Making an ‘enemy’ out of Sabrina Carpenter is not recommended. After White House uses her song “Juno” in one of its many pro-mass-deportation videos. She says: “This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda”

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

I’d be happy never to hear her voice ever again

Decades ago, Kris Hansen showed 3M that its PFAS chemicals were in people's bodies. Her bosses halted her work. Now she wrestles with the secrets that 3M kept from her and the world. (Published May 2024)

Nice thread, fab picture of Haarlem. 🦋💕🦋

Rightwing MAGA Christianity has about as much relation to the gospels as MAGA politics does to the Constitution. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Very creative and organized.

Yes Christopher @cwebbonline.com I support Congressman #AlGreen (D-TX) filing articles of impeachment before Christmas. The list of impeachable offenses would be mind blowing to consider, and to see in one place. 👍💥

What a relief this will be for civility and the arts. 💚

🚨 JUST PUBLISHED: CARBON BRIEF’S #COP30 SUMMARY 🚨 It's an EPIC 20,000 words of top-notch, plain-english reporting… –Global mutirão –Adaptation finance –Fossil-fuel roadmap –China +Much more Very proud of team CB for getting this out so fast www.carbonbrief.org/...

Why isn’t this the top story today. #G20 Leaders Push Back on U.S. Peace Plan for #Ukraine ?

Not AI generated

Smart woman. Former #FinnishPrimeMinister #SannaMarin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave #Ukrainian territory.” Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

Great song. And I'm thinking I might like to have Jesse's babies. 🤓 #JoinICE #JesseWelles #TheLateShow

#JesseWelles singing “Red.” He’s so good, a little John Prine-ish, Dylan-ish, Guthrie-ish. What do you think? Also love his song “Join ICE 🧊“ but only if you have all the right credentials. 😉

COP30 "overshoot": The latest draft "mutirão" text makes what would be a first-ever COP reference to limiting "overshoot" of 1.5C "reiterates its resolve to pursue efforts to limit [warming] to 1.5C [and] to limit both the magnitude and the duration of any temperature overshoot"
