KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true? HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart-- KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

"It'll never happen" and "stop being hysterical" is what they said about Roe. Misogynists and Christian nationalists are coming for the 19th. What are you going to do about it? #NYtimesiscomplicit #firedouthat

#NYtimes continued attempt at 'both sides'-ism by giving space to worthless hack #russdouthat is not seeking an objective balance, it's enabling oppression. This is especially true in context of a growing movement of Christian nationalists against the #19thamendment. #firedouthat #Defendthe19th

The Trump administration is laying the groundwork for what could be the most aggressive federal intervention in election administration in modern history.

Lol, same

Damn, I was so close.

Hello Bluesky! With our transition here, we felt it best to introduce ourselves, our program, and our values. We are excited to be able to connect and share what we're up to on this platform! To learn more about the Writers' League of Texas, and to become a member, head on over to our website!

This is how it’s done! 👊🏿👊🏾👊🏽👊🏼👊🏻

If you've been taking a 'wait and see' approach to this administration or hoping that things will somehow blow over, how much more do you need? Speak up IRL while we still can. #NoKings #StandUp

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

Hopefully someone at this Walz presser will ask "How can the public tell the difference between real lew enforcement vs an impersonator, especially when there are currently masked, un-IDed law enforcement pulling people off the streets every day?"

BREAKING NEWS: Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark, have both died. Democratic state senator John Hoffman and his wife were both shot & now out of surgery where they expect to make a recovery. The shooter was impersonating a police officer and is still at large.

6/14: No Kings rallies will be happening throughout the US on Saturday. This is not the time to sit this one out, we may not get another chance. Show up for those who can't. #NoKings #StopIce #StandwithDemocracy #StandUp mobilize.us/s/D32z7f/p

Clash between protesters and federal agents at ICE raid in Omaha

On June 14th, we show up. Coalition members will be present at all 1,800 events nationwide, over 90,000 strong, helping monitor local conditions. Many veterans have stepped forward to support protesters, stand in solidarity, and defend our right to be heard. We thank them.

If you stuck this on the front of a movie today I would be eight Reels deep in basketball highlights and fishing fails by the time Crocodile Dundee even started. We all used to have so much more /time/.

Dereliction of duty.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

buff.ly/vH1LIsc This is a series of articles on holding those difficult conversations we're all having these days. I highly recommend you you give them a read, start practicing and follow @jenpavich.bsky.social

NBC has confirmed what we have been saying for weeks. Hegseth clearly copied classified strike schedules from a secure device to his personal phones. This alone would get a line service member thrown in prison. But when it’s SecDef we are supposed to ignore it.

Wow, just finished #TheList by @yomiadegoke.bsky.social. #Feminist writer Ola finds her fiancé's name on a list of abusive media men a month before the wedding. What follows is an emotionally fraught and nuanced exploration through multiple viewpoints. Highly recommend! #BookSky

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Really enjoyed this conversation with @janetroper.bsky.social !

The fact that there might be a conclave so close to a movie about one has really motivated me to finish my screenplay "The Tech CEO Who Died of Diarrhea So Explosive The Coroner Said He Had No Lower Back to Speak Of"

My next project is a gritty homecoming story about family secrets and impermeable culture set in suburban Detroit. There's a mystery, but the story is more character driven. It's told in dual narratives from fraternal twins, one who left and one who stayed. #writingcommunity #WritingPrompts

It's up to all of us who care about the fate of our country to do something, but none of us can do everything. #writing #writingcommunity #resist #allofus
