One thing we've learned from the American judicial system: The first 34 felonies are on the house*. *Terms and conditions may apply. See prosecutors for details if you're not white. Or rich.

Pam Bondi is so transparent, you can see right through her

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Dear Department of Homeland Security: I gave this request almost a full second's worth of consideration, and my answer is an unequivocal no. I would have answered sooner, but I was laughing.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Join us for good food, great company, & a chat with League President, Dare Thompson. She’ll talk about League Moderating & answer your questions. With the Nov. 4 election around the corner (& midterms in 2026!), candidate forums are coming up— and nobody runs them better than the League.

I mean, we did knit hats and sing songs. Maybe this scares JD.

If you have a working heart, these days are hazardous to your health. Don't let the cruelty around you rob you of your compassion. Take care of yourself and those around you. Fight to stay human despite the inhumanity so many are choosing. Love, for the win...

Used to live 3 blocks from here. Logan circle, one of most fun (and safest) neighborhoods in DC…in America! Major problem? Merely loud and crowded on weekends bc there are more than a hundred places to eat, drink, listen to music and have fun. And all this was true before January 20, 2025, btw.

Why didn’t anyone immediately follow up with “what’s the population of the United States?”

hey the people that stormed the capitol and erected gallows to murder elected leaders want you to know that political violence is not ok

Micah Parsons opened up about his trade saga with the Cowboys, saying the past six months were "super draining, super toxic for everyone." "It's something that I don't think no player should have to go through." 🎥 @mattschneidman.bsky.social

This makes my blood boil‼️

Great news! The Baltimore Museum of Art is taking “Amy Sherald: American Sublime,” which was originally scheduled to take place at the National Portrait Gallery. artbma.org/exhibition/a...

Our League has proudly registered new citizens to vote at naturalization ceremonies for years. This latest action by the administration is another form of undermining our democracy.

All kidding about this nonsense answer aside: The regime is asserting the power to murder without trial a boat full of people suspected of drug trafficking, who easily could have been intercepted and arrested instead. That is unconscionable and horrifying even assuming everyone aboard was guilty.

Guess which network is ignoring the survivors? Fox isn’t news.

It's not normal for an American president to send troops to American cities in times of peace. Chicago, document what you see and be loud for America.

Here's looking at YOU, Trump...

My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."

As we should.

Chicago keeping art alive:

Learn to decipher the codespeak.

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

Shuler: Thirteen billionaires in one picture—four of whom now run agencies of our federal government. If you’ve ever met someone who says the word “oligarchy” is too confusing or too complicated, well, you can explain it with that one photo.

bsky.app/profile/tran... The Civil War never ended. Traitors returned to their homes, created vigilante groups, wrote oppressive laws, broke laws, built monuments, rewrote history, glorified another flag, and murdered black people without consequence. J6 was just a continuation.

if i were on this deployment i would be pissed. these people have actual jobs! and here they are, walking around picking upt rash.

August 26, otherwise known as Women's Equality Day, marks the anniversary of the certification of the 19th Amendment, which granted some women the right to vote. Yet today, women have fewer rights than they'd had in decades. To recognize this, we acknowledge Women's Inequality Day.

Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.
