@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Tonight's intro reminded me of "The Rewrite." Bring that back.

UPDATE The Congresswoman has deleted this post.

I taught a US citizenship class to South Sudanese refugees in Nebraska, 2006-2007. Fleeing civil war, they worked arduous jobs at a meat packing plant. Many had no literacy in any language. But they studied hard for a citizenship exam which many native-born Americans would not be able to pass.

Literally “up is down”

I love #ViolaDavis but l disagree. She is a supernova who elevates every project she's in. people.com/viola-davis-...

He fired the black chairman of the joint chiefs for being woke and hired his brother.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

🚨BREAKING: It seems very clear that the Administration decided not to abide by the court's order. The question now is what will the judge do. Does he proceed with contempt or something short of that to defuse. Upping the stakes is the fact that the AG and her senior staff signed this notice.

I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt. Democracy Docket members will receive my latest on this and more in their inboxes tomorrow. Join now. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

How is this prediction going so far?

Read civil rights history to see how people were blocked and erased. The WLBT case, for example: mississippiencyclopedia.org/entries/wlbt...

Surprise, surprise, there's mounting evidence that our IQs are falling. "The behaviors that have taken off in recent years affect everything from our ability to process verbal information, attention, working memory and self-regulation." My colleague @jburnmurdoch.ft.com www.ft.com/content/a801...

As this story is reported, journalists should be seeking a complete accounting of the review process that led to these determinations. Who did these reviews? What were their qualifications? How were they done? What metrics, standards and rigor were applied? Where is the paper trail?

"President Donald Trump honored a child cancer survivor during his joint address to Congress. Medical school faculty who helped treat him are facing potentially devastating federal funding cuts..." www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

just taking tonight to really appreciate all these years of journalistic tut-tut-tutting about how over-the-top it was for anyone to focus on trump's affinity for russia and putin.

Nebraska is going to get crushed between Tariffs and Medicaid cuts. They have to balance their state budget and it looks like at least a 200m shortfall this year. BEFORE tariff impacts. And Nebraska Republicans here ! Curious what you think www.1011now.com/2025/03/05/t...

You need this today. "The morning that Bishop Marvin Sapp came to NPR, he told me that it was his two kids who really emphasized how important it was for him to accept our invitation to perform: 'They told me, 'Dad, Tiny Desk is for the culture.' " www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVbZ...

Zelenskyy: "It's not just that the war began somewhere between our countries. The war began when Russia brought this war to our country. They're not right. They didn't respect our territorial integrity. They brought the war to our families. Ukrainians want to hear a position of the US on our side"

Trump White House staffers were seen loading around 15 boxes of documents onto the rear of Air Force One.   Team Trump says the boxes contain the classified documents the FBI seized  from Trump's Florida home in 2022.

Wow.

@edwardluce.bsky.social Good job on Joy tonight.

Shoutout to my childhood friend and fellow Crown Heights, Brooklyn Brotha #ChrisJarvis, a commercial pilot for more than two decades who EARNED his position through skill and hard work! #FWhatYouHeard

May #JohnMara never sleep again.

Full stop.

Pages of writings from 17-year-old Solomon Henderson, the alleged shooter at Antioch High School, reportedly read he "was ashamed to be Black," was inspired by Candace Owens and listed off racist and anti-Semitic slurs

Good morning to Kelly Rowland and Kelly Rowland ONLY. #IYKYK #KellyRowland

A new soap... Or a new BLACK soap?

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?

Lifting my dear sweet friend up in prayer. Y'all do the same. #SheinelleJones

Special counsel report says Trump would have been convicted in election case “But for Mr. Trump’s election and imminent return to the presidency, the office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial,” the report said

Really?! Let’s maybe thank all the immigrants and foreigners helping protect people right now. Thanks for shining the light @npr.org.

This is a moral disaster… www.axios.com/2025/01/11/t...

This is what Fox News chooses to speak about. Nitpicking at diversity & LGBTQ+ line items in the budget? Where the HELL is the information about how to help these people majorly impacted by the LA fires? Where’s the resources? Where are the emergency numbers? Any updated info? Absolutely sickening.🤬
