"You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.” Fucking SAVAGE for him to invoke Mario Cuomo.

Let them know you're filming them and keep asking the key questions: "Do you have a warrant signed by a judge? Show me." "Do you have a badge? Show me." "Do you know how pathetic you are? You showed me."

Only two days left to see “The Clock” at MoMa

“Extraordinary” Drop Dead City doc opens today at the IFC in NY. Don’t miss!

Sulzberger believes, as a matter of moral principle, that the ideal role of the American newspaper is to be the orchestra playing on the deck of the Titanic.

This presidential administration has my 70-something mother writing emails to me in the tones of a Civil War bride writing to her husband in Chattanooga.

Are you listening? It’s the least you can do. Powerful, substantive, passionate. A clarion call to stand. www.youtube.com/live/rCUK2Vb...

jason carter is a star - wow #jimmycarter

Italy's "There's Still Tomorrow" is not to be missed. Writer/director/star Paola Cortellesi's low-budget homage to Neo-Realism made more $ than "Barbie" and is in the top 10 successes in Italian history. 👏 Also, brilliant.

Obama on how things used to be: we all watched the same news and we all watched Gilligan's Island #2024DemocracyForum

Last called US House race was won by 187-vote margin. Candidates in the still-going-through-recount (but incumbent Democrat Allison Riggs in lead) North Carolina Supreme Court race are separated by 734 votes. Sometimes it’s easy to feel like showing up to vote doesn’t matter. It does.

Justice Kagan characterizes the Tennessee law as: “We want boys to be boys and girls to be girls.” The law says the state has an interest in preventing minors from becoming “disdainful of their sex.” #supremecourt #tennessee

deeply depressing watching the six unelected rulers of America debate how many of my friends’ rights to take away because none of them believe my friends are real people trans rights are human rights

My guess is that a lot of trans people will be feeling a ton of stress and worry over SCOTUS today. If you are a cis person, quote this and say why you support trans people and what you are willing to do to support us if the government comes for us.

#Harris to supporters: “the fight did not end on November 5th.”

from a friend abroad: so martha stewart can’t run her company because she’s a convicted felon but HE can run the country?!

This!

shared by my brother: “21 white dudes, five women and Vivek. Not a single black person, Hispanic or Asian. Quite something in 2024.”

Harris has the biggest “I told you so” in history!

From a 19 year old female friend: “I mean, Trump is two for three. Who did he beat? Who beat him? I feel like America hates women.” I cannot argue with this as I feel it as strongly as I feel anything.

Highly recommend "The Apprentice" movie - exquisite filmmaking, writing, performances, and producing. In theatres and streaming now.

A friend just sent this excellent piece by @cjrobichaud.bsky.social need to figure out how to share over 4k words. Here goes: "I'll say this, and then I likely won't be saying much more on here for quite some time, to the relief of some, I'm sure. But my farewell warning is this.

Circling back to this: Non-white non-college grads voted Dem 65%. White non-college grads 32%.

Make a list. Get your vaccinations. Make sure your passports are up to date. Women make a plan for your birth control.

Like guys, this isn't a matter of political preference, there's a guy with Nazi tattoos getting ready to run our military

As a former RBBB employee, though, I gotta say:

i made a starter pack of people who make bluesky great. follow them!

Great piece by @mjtoma.bsky.social newrepublic.com/post/188197/...

Where’s the best place to go for useful info on the 2026 #midterms ?

I find both the "Kamala Harris lost because she's too wokety-woke" and the "Kamala Harris lost because she didn't say she's a Communist and then clarify that she's the same kind of Communist I am" takes to be beneath contempt
