Obama shouts out "those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who braved frigid temperatures, risked their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look our for their neighbors and sometimes for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do"

He signed an unconditional surrender at Versailles? Come the fuck on.

I think this captures the current moment of New York joy amidst federal angst in a way that is especially comprehensible to elder millennials like me Also, I would have absolutely watched this movie on WPIX every other weekend afternoon

another imposter syndrome meme? yes, i AM doing revisions this week. why do you ask? #romancelandia

i wish i were a billionaire so i could make imaginary businesses with my billionaire friends so we could all just invest in each other's vaporware & get even richer off the backs of the poors who actually work and create stuff.

I'm sometimes critical of cable news TV but this is programming I can get behind www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAhm...

"Here's the thing: I maxed out your credit card when you explicitly told me not to. I should not have done that."

Today, the New York Times joined Trump's attacks on California voting. I wrote in defense of California for Democracy Docket members. DD is sharing it more widely because it is now too important to keep behind a paywall. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/cali...

If you need a script for getting your company off Twitter, I WROTE YOU ONE. Multiple people have used it, successfully, to explain the legal liability your company incurs by forcing employees to be on a platform with child sexual abuse material. I will help you use it. anildash.com/2026/02/23/t...

Woot! Today and tomorrow, get tons of low-cost or free e-books as part of the JUNE BUZZFEST. Get romance, romantasy & paranormal, fantasy & paranormal w/o romance, horror, thriller, action, and more! (Though we all know romance is the best, right?) theindieauthorhive.com

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

NEWS: A @lawfaremedia.org report finds that *97* Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the attack were arrested, charged, or convicted of subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported. Incredible work by @katherinepomps.bsky.social www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

BREAKING: Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-MD, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, is calling for the resignation of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche after President Trump retreated on the $1.8 billion "slush fund" for January 6 rioters, according to a released statement.

Jake invites Dani to stay in his spare room when she breaks up with her boyfriend. He won't jeopardize their friendship for anything, even as he longs for more. Now Dani's the one afraid to mess things up, but somebody's gonna have to break the Roommate Promise!

This is what Trump's done to the people's house: A third of it is rubble. Another third is a cage match. What a metaphor.

This is a really ballsy speech by student reporter Santiago Campos, winner of the Mike Wallace Memorial Scholarship ($10,000) and worth watching in full.

We still have attorneys’ fees tho! Come join us on Saturday for a 12 hr livestream! bsky.app/profile/katm...

Please send this message to Schumer and Jeffries. Call them. Keep calling all your reps and senators and ask them to impeach AND introduce legislation to dissolve this fund.

Ken Paxton is one of the most corrupt people in politics. Texans should be sending him to prison — not the Senate.

this is a masterpiece

The “we don’t have the votes” excuse for refusing to force a vote on impeachment is conceding the point and saying even the opposition party doesn’t think this high crime merits removal from office. It’s not being politically astute and pragmatic, it’s self-defeating in its cowardice.

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

Six months ago, the federal government indicted me, my friend Andre, and four others for protesting ICE. Our trial is this month and we are facing up to $250k in legal debt. Please help us win our case and protect all of our rights by donating to our legal defense: tinyurl.com/katandre

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

I've been saying we need a progressive DOGE that actually focuses on making government work well rather than undermining it. But we need a better name. So how about DOPE: the Department of Public Excellence.

Republicans made clear they would not be deterred by Democrats simply matching them seat for seat. The only way to stop them was to make clear that Democrats will go further than they will — and mean it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/demo...

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tel everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Do Texans know about Paxton's views about child abusers? “Initially charged with Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child, Attorney General Ken Paxton offered a plea deal to Hoffman lowering a felony and life in prison to ... misdemeanors and 30 days in county jail. " www.yahoo.com/news/article...

My latest is a call to action. I make no apologies for supporting Democrats using every tool available to stop the the GOP. As Leader Jeffries said, “we are in an era of maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/demo...

it’s simple. Dems need to 1. prepare retaliatory gerrymanders in every blue state now that the VRA has been overturned 2. pack the court (and prosecute Thomas/alito) in 2029 I will only even *consider* primary candidates who support both of the above going forward

The Justice Department seems to be going out of its way to avoid saying that Cole Allen didn't fire any weapons at all inside the Washington Hilton — and that the officer hit was most likely hit by friendly fire. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/is-the-jus...

A “former Palantir executive recently confirmed what many have long suspected. In a public stmt, the whistleblower said it plainly: Palantir intended to take over the US government, & many of his former colleagues are now installed inside the federal apparatus. He called it an occupied nation.” 1/

This, combined with Lindsey Graham posting about a great call he had with POTUS about Iran five hours ago makes me really nervous.

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time. This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

"Those taxes you just paid? The money is going straight into Trump's pocket" would be good messaging

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks. The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Hungary lesson: Don’t debate Trump on policy. Name the corruption—and threat to democracy. Connect it to people’s lives. $3,800/household from tariffs. $2.5B gutted from the CDC. Billions in Trump family crypto profits while your grocery bill climbs and your kid’s school loses funding.

This just failed.

🚨FISA VOTE TONIGHT! 🚨 While you are sleeping, Republicans plan to jam a bill through the House tonight allowing the Admin to spy and collect data for the next FIVE YEARS. No warrants REQUIRED. No real assurances a shady AG, FBI, or DNI director will follow the law. I am a NO!
