To Dare Is To Do.

He wore a blue suit and fell asleep. At the Pope’s funeral. Making us proud every day.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

I hope that today was the start of something, not a last gasp.

Hi, sending people to El Salvador, if they're not from El Salvador, is not deportation. It's human trafficking, and this entire regime is complicit in crimes against humanity. I hope I live long enough to see them all stand trial with the whole world arrayed against them.

Amazing.

Trump is a terrible gambler - he bankrupted two casinos. Now he’s gambling with the world economy and your financial future. It’s going to be worse than you think.

Cory Booker is doing the only thing we can do in the minority - stand up every day and yell about what’s going on. Be angry with us.

Making Davidson proud EVERY DAY. 🙄

I bet Pete Hegseth could use a drink about now…

Now that Trump has proven to be a ruthless autocrat, too many have grown timid and silent. That is simply not who I am. It is not what I believe, and it is not what I will do. Instead, I will worry. I will hope. And I will fight. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-wo...

True facts.

If they successfully defy his order and he can’t force them to comply, the US as a constitutional democracy is done.

This part.

I’m with her. We need leadership that’s prepared to meet the moment.

Protect your peace.

Serious question - what’s the ship model on the top shelf behind @jvl.bsky.social on The Bulwark? I recognize the Lego Starry Night, but the ship vexes me every time.

This part.

This part. Ukraine aid has been the most effective and efficient defense spending since the end of the Cold War, and maybe ever.

Not to repeat myself, but Hillary Clinton was right about everything.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

@joyannreid.bsky.social - what Mark said. We love you.

And the @msnbc.com purge continues. Add @katiephang.bsky.social, @ayman.msnbc.com, and @jonathancapehart.bsky.social to the list. Hell with that. So many important, smart voices being tossed to the curb. Would be great if an independent news org could pick them all up.

Also this part.

This part, 100%. Also, that’s a show I’d watch every day.

The first text I got from a "famous" person after I went public about January 6th, was @joyannreid.bsky.social Joy didn't want an interview, a statement or even a soundbyte...Joy simply said, Harry i want to be your friend and I'm here for you. She's as real as they come and I'm so thankful for her

After 25 years of loyal viewing, @joyannreid.bsky.social ‘s show and the A block on Deadline Whitehouse were the last bits of post-election @msnbc.com programming that I thought of as must-watch news/commentary. Now, like Joy, I’m afraid I’m out.

This is huge.

A little tranquility from Otis and Lucy. (Want to make your life measurably better, and have a constant source of joy and laughter in these dark times? Rescue a pit bull, folks. They never disappoint.)

I’m not George Takei, but I also approve of this message.

I’m worried about myself, because I would totally try this.

Yep.

Yes, this.

I’m going with “he doesn’t care what Congress thinks because he knows that they won’t stop him.”

Just to be clear, the moment they willfully ignore orders from a federal judge, the last functioning check on executive power will be gone, and we will have staggered into fascist autocracy. This tweet is a tell, setting up a righteous justification for it - “saving” the country.

Yes. These two things.
