Anyone who recognizes the existential threat to US Constitutional democracy and wants Democrats to take a stand should listen to this conversation between @chrismurphyct.bsky.social and @gregsargent.bsky.social. I found it heartening to hear a Democratic Senator with eyes open to the moment.

Who on earth thinks it's ever acceptable to refer to anything other than an actual woman abuser as a "wife-beater"? #Amazon, get your act together! www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

The President of the United States claims to have authorized the military to use lethal force on US citizens, and there’s not a single Republican who has the balls to tell him that’s both illegal and morally wrong.

Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and now Noel Clarke - slowly, exhaustingly, sexual predators in the entertainment industry are being outed. But it's still a systemic problem that needs systemic solutions, not risk-taking by individual whistleblowers. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Important read to show what a news organisation not owned by big business in subservience to a powerful politician can and will do. Congratulations to Katharine Viner and @theguardian.com. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
