"I honestly don’t care especially if the president insults a governor. It’s unbecoming of what the presidency should be, but that ship’s long since sailed. But by making bigotry explicit, Trump and his closest imitators create a permission structure for people to be their worst selves."

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

I heard a bird sing In the dark of December A beautiful thing A sweet to remember "We are closer to Spring than we were in September." I heard a bird sing In the dark of December

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Happy Solstice everyone!!

Glad Rolling Stone published this, especially given the loud silence from the rest of the media on this grim watershed moment in US political history.

meanwhile, the US attorney general also wants to categorize trans equality activists as belonging to “designated terrorist organizations”. a leaked Justice Department memo from December 9th added “radical gender ideology” as part of its definition of “domestic terrorism”.

He'll start a war to: 1. Distract from the Epstein Files 2. Steal oil 3. Justify emergency powers 4. Justify use of the AEA for deportation/internment 5. Help the drug lord he just pardoned

Trump sued the Pulitzer Prize Board for defamation Now the defendants are demanding his tax returns, psych records, and prescription history as part of discovery

Inspired by an exchange here yesterday, I wrote up a short piece at CAMPAIGN TRAILS about an infamous Lee Atwater quotation that just about everyone gets wrong.

HELLLOOOOOO PLEASE ORDER OATHBREAKERS I HAVE TRIED NOT TO BE A BOTHER ABOUT IT BUT ITS PRETTY GOOD AND NOW IN PAPERBACK AND A PERFECT GIFT AND PLEASE

Ask everyone you know to share this far and wide and if you are in a position to chip in to her campaign directly please do!!!

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

Don’t forget: this is what Jesus wanted

Anyone defending execution as a reasonable punishment for drug smuggling is a Nazi. Pass it on.

Canadian publisher Kids Can Press "strongly condemns any denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin's name or image" following Pete Hegseth's post:

@profanity.accountant Hmmm

Last night, the FBI's Counterterrorism Division appeared to open an inquiry into me in response to a video President Trump did not like.

Missouri AG, seeing petition signature gatherers having success in challenging the latest Gop gerrymandering of the state, baselessly tells ICE the petition workers are illegal immigrants, so they'll go jump them and interrupt their work. www.kansascity.com/news/politic...

I think it’s time to put this one back out into the ether, friends Come and learn about how the tropes undergirding anti-Jewish hatred and conspiracy theories as they exist today came to be…

Gorgeous colorizations of trans history images, and a lot of incredible stories, including many lesser-known to many (A Zapatista colonel, a "transvestite pass" issued in 1928, the Scottish nobleman who the courts ruled should inherit his baronetcy in the 60s... for example...)

Cowardly fools. Damned us all for nothing. Didn’t get naught but a cheap song. If they were gonna cave they could’ve just done it at the start and saved folks some pain. But now they did nothing and got nothing and wasted time.

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

Tagging helps. It drives me nuts when "Big Accounts" send out messages like, "Don't cave, Senators!" without tagging, you know, senators. How is that making a difference? So, thank you @bradleywhitford.bsky.social

You think THIS is the time to take the pressure off Trump, @schumer.senate.gov?
