@joyannreid.bsky.social is asking the right question.This may be the most dangerous period.When the dog catches the car & realizes he can’t open the doors or satisfy its hunger. Now there’s rage, snarling and vicious humiliation at having exhausted itself pursuing something that has no real meaning.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

The Washington Post now has no Black Opinion columnists - none - at a time when white nationalism is ascendant in our nation. I am grateful to Karen for the truth and fearlessness her work has always shown. Keep shining that light, my friend.

I’m telling you. It’s fabricated.

OMFG

I stand with Matthew Dowd.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

Since @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is so concerned about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social housing maybe he should address his own property tax bill of just $213 a year thanks to a sweetheart deal he supported when he served in the state Assembly that will last through 2032. nypost.com/2022/01/23/r...

Governor Newsom on the media’s feigned outrage over his Trump-style posts: What an admission! Where have they been not asking Donald Trump this?

🏆 because this will drive Trump bonkers.

Operation “Get him to stroke out” is in full swing.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson responds to Trump calling him incompetent. “The president has always been intimidated by the intellectual prowess of Black men, so of course he would speak in those petite and puerile terms. Because he’s small.”

They’re not saying it because msm has refused to report on the truth about racism & white supremacy in this country in any sustained manner. They will say “Democratic cities” over and over. But what of Portland, Seattle, Nashville, Jacksonville, Miami?

There were 34 church leaders & christian school employees who were arrested, pled guilty and/or were sentenced to prison for child sex crimes in the month of July.

Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”? You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.

Mind boggling and humiliating that CBS would permit this.

A recap of some of the horror committed by I.C.E. …This week

You're so close

Good morning, friends!!! Happy Taco Tuesday gang! Just a little chuckle to get the day started! Have a day, y'all! #SheShed

It ain't going away, no it ain't going away....

Sinclair Broadcast pushes right-wing propaganda into 40% of local news markets. Fox News is in 70M homes. The WaPo and Politico owners are Trump donors. CBS has a political bias monitor Our news is carefully curated by conservative billionaires. open.substack.com/pub/populari...

It’s Abu Ghraib all over again. But inside our borders.

When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.

Unmasking More ICE Agents...

Mystified as to why DOJ’s withholding of the Epstein files so upsets Trump’s base? It’s simple. 👉 A third of MAGA Republicans are QAnon. 👉 QAnon teaches that government, media, and financial elites are Satanic sex-trafficking pedophiles. prri.org/spotlight/th...

"Reich citizenship will not be laid in the cradle of every one born in Germany, but will be ceremoniously conferred on him after he has shown himself worthy of it through special accomplishments, through loyal services to the State." NY Times, July 6, 1933.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"

oh, we have some straightforward gutter racism. “the blacks and the browns are the reason white people can’t get ahead” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

I had a great conversation with @ninametz.bsky.social of the Chicago Tribune about my novel The Payback and why there should be more television where regular people band together to fight systems much bigger than themselves.

I would pay a boatload of money for someone to teach my corgi Clyde or Claudia’s corgi Gracie to do this. But I think only Gracie would be adventurous enough to take to it ht: @amazlngnature.bsky.social

BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. No grandma should be kicked out of her nursing home so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.

I feel like getting the phrase “George W. Trump” trending on social media is all it would take to deter him from going to war with Iran

When you realize that what you were taught in school was selected so it wouldn't inconvenience you.

every day i think they can’t get any worse. every day i’m wrong.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

The heartbreaking statement from Jonathan Joss’s husband about his death.

This is absolutely essential reading in case you’re wondering what the wholesale dismantling of civil service work has to do with you. data4democracy.substack.com/p/how-to-dis...

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

Oh, look, this Cybertruck got the aftermarket Roman customization package.

“Diversity is now described as ‘illegal.’ Equity is to be shunned. Inclusion is a dirty word.” Pelley never explicitly named Trump—but the message was clear. https://trib.al/QrJ2kxT

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

You don’t need disaster assistance, pull yourself up by those bootstraps! Thoughts and prayers! Daddy needs a big new plane! — The President

"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."
