I really loved Dónal Finn's performance in Wheel of Time so I'm glad that he's now seemingly everywhere, including Young Sherlock and The Other Bennett Sister. It's... nice to have an abundance of Cauthon.

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

I personally don't think the GOP should be able to repeal the Voting Rights Act without having any members of Congress vote to repeal the Voting Rights Act.

If the Voting Rights Act is rightly seen by many of us as the real beginning of American democracy, then it is fitting that a Court hell-bent on undoing democratic rule, including granting the president king-like powers, would seek to dismantle it.

Just wanna say for the record my relationship with NATO is strong as shit NATO and I have sleepovers and stay up way too late and we're tired all day Sunday but it was worth it 'cause we had so much fun at the sleepover and whatnot love you NATO.

For years and years, Pueblos, Diné (Navajo), Indé (Apache), archaeologists, green groups, Utah and New Mexico politicos, and recreation, water, and timber interests fought over the land around Chaco Canyon, one of the world's most important archaeological sites. In 2022, ... (1/5)

"Black women ...comprise 6 percent of the overall U.S. labor force and 12 percent of the federal labor force. But of the almost 300,000 federal jobs slashed in 2025, Black women were a stunning 33 percent of those cuts."

I’ve said this before but this also works for Morrisey

This is really bad.

@repescobar.bsky.social This seems like someone at DHS might have purposefully lied to you.

This is just astonishingly great reporting. All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them. And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

"This is an attempt on the part of the Trump administration to censor history for purely self-serving political purposes..."

@civilwarmemory.bsky.social I dumped my WaPo subscription sometime last year, so I can't send you a gift link.

The Board of Peace apparently isn't very good at its job.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit. Gentle Spades "I'm a veteran"

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

As someone not patient enough to wait for something like this, I can attest that all these books were great and $18 is an amazing deal.

With so much going on, everybody please just take a moment and remember to impeach Emil Bove.

Matthew Delmont has once again knocked it out of the park. The story of Dwight “Skip” Johnson is heartbreaking, but I was truly impressed with the story of Coretta Scott King--as important to the Vietnam War protests as her husband was to civil rights. 🗃️ www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/736800...

@kenwhite.bsky.social Sorry to bug you. But I was reading this and wondered if there would be a chance of success to sue Grok/twitter/et al for libel for making and publishing the nudes. I get damages would be an issue, but otherwise? bsky.app/profile/wire...
