Excellent post, and oh the replies, the replies... 👏👏👏

Six years ago I wrote in the Washington Post that police must not hide their face or name. Seems kind of pertinent now, right? Here’s a link to a free version of the piece I wrote. I was angry and sad then. I’m angry and sad now. Courage. Use it. Now. www.heraldnet.com/opinion/comm...

they want you to think minneapolis is dangerous. more of brass solidarity band performing today at powderhorn park at the anti ICE protest after their agent killed renee good. the band is made up of community members around george floyd square and they bring joy to every action they appear at

Hello. I've never done a *sale* for my newsletter to the general public because I am bad at business. Anyway, I'm now offering 25% off an annual subscription to The Long Game so you can see what our community of kind-hearted baseball sickos is all about: <3 mollyknight.substack.com/p/flash-sale...

My quick and dirty thoughts on Trump's short-sighted, stupid, and self-defeating ban on foreign made drones. Banning foreign drones won't make us safer. Instead, it'll encourage people to build their own drones - which are way harder to track and to control.

It all matters, yes, but this matters more than Susie Wiles, matters more, even, than the travel ban; more than all of Trump’s wars actual & looming (Venezuela, Ukraine, Somalia, Gaza) combined. It’s like the Cuban Missile Crisis, only U.S. is aiming it missiles at everyone, starting with itself.

When people die, we should tell good stories to remember them by. Here's one I know about Rob Reiner. It begins with "As you wish ..." www.esquire.com/entertainmen...

"there's a new serif in town"

This account is amazing - follow them if you aren't already 👏👏👏

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate

They're really having fun with it on tiktok.

Think about buying a car, a fun, stress-free negotiating process that everybody loves. Now imagine that if you don’t buy a car you die and if you buy the wrong car you also die

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

I love Rebecca DOWN. Known as Dollar Tree Dinners. Her “Meal in a Bag” is meant to provide ppl with a complete meal that is $8 or less, is shelf stable, & can be made without access to a full kitchen. I love this as a direct aid option. Good for neighbors & elders who can’t/wont go to a pantry.

I should probably have just published this in the morning, but I had some thoughts about the East Wing — particularly given something Trump said during his 2020 speech accepting the GOP nomination. www.pbump.net/o/the-presid...

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today issuu.com/idsnews/docs...

Oh, @rorycj.bsky.social forgot to mention he’d been interviewed by *People magazine *!! people.com/rescue-dog-s...

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

I can only hear the line "Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?" in the confused quiet voice my mom had went her dementia got really bad.

Interesting that both Robert Redford, who played Bob Woodward in 1976, and the real Bob Woodward outlived the Washington Post.

Good morning! This is your occasional depressing reminder that - in addition to all of the other horrible things - Musk, Trump, and some asshole who goes by "Big Balls" have certainly stolen our personal information - SSNs, addresses, birthdays, tax filings, health records, and all the rest. 1/?

all three left their farewell gift flowers at Officer Rose’s memorial in front of CDC. all three were deeply emotional, clearly heartbroken that it came to this and ready to fight like hell to fix it.

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

Sweet K-Pup needs some help 💖🐶🐾

The man predicted the future and he told you exactly how it was going to happen, too

Crouton could use our help! 🐮💖

@darthbluesky.bsky.social yesterday I helped rescue a puppers whose parents changed their mind on hiking all the way up the South Bubble in Acadia. This shall be written in lore as my crowning act of good in all the history books.

Even if you’re not a history person, please read this thread. All the way to the end

I need all of #lawsky to see this video from a Colorado appeals court livestream yesterday. I am in actual tears. Sound *incredibly* on, the subtitles will not help.
