Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

You can't pretend you love our country if you continued to support Trump after he repeatedly called the Free Press "the enemy of the people". That's Putin shit. Today at the White House, the AP was banned from covering the Trump/Vance/Zelensky meeting, but Russian state news was allowed in.

Trump is the first president to attend a Super Bowl game, a trip that will cost taxpayers millions of dollars—some estimates suggest as much as $15 million. What happened to "government efficiency"? From left to right: Donald Trump, a bottle of Diet Coke, and GOP Senator Katie Britt

This is an amazing quote, from a Jan 6 prisoner who is refusing Trump’s pardon. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

✅ NEW by me: Apple and Costco are not alone in taking a strong stand on diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI). The list of corporate giants pushing back on the 'anti-woke' #DEI backlash is growing in 2025. www.thequeenzone.com/dei-isnt-dyi... via @thequeenzone.bsky.social

New original reporting on bias at the New York Times: Evan Urquhart has the story of @billiejsweeney.bsky.social, once an editor on the NYT international desk, and how she tried, and ultimately failed, to improve the paper's coverage of trans issues from the inside.

Happy New Year!

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

we all need to hear this

You know, I’d maybe feel a little bad for them if not for the fact that my wife’s workplace (Advocates for Trans Equality) had to do this years ago, along with other LGBTQ+ nonprofits and abortion advocacy groups and clinics, due to the tidal waves of threats they receive constantly

Crazy idea. Stick with me. Politicians, but from unions. They already build coalitions, win elections, speak publicly, lead joint decision making, & negotiate for high stakes. Fewer lawyers & biz exec pols. More construction, health care, ed, manuf, transport... worker pols.

Even a broken clock…

Forgot about this

MAGA voters actually love progressive policies. They just don’t know it. This would be great for Democrats.

Things no one told me about #perimenopause part 487: How much time I spend exfoliating now. I should probably start listing it as a hobby at this point.

Mandate? Trump is now under 50% in the popular vote with his margin ranking 44th out of 51 elections since 1824. 4 Democrats won Senate seats in states Trump carried—compared to zero in 16 and 20. GOP poised for its smallest House majority since the U.S. had 50 states. - CNN’s Harry Enten reports

When you need an electorate dumb enough to believe that migrants are eating their dogs and kids are getting sex changes at school… it makes sense to go to war on colleges.

First of all, watch Somebody Somewhere. And then sign tge petition to keep it going . #max #tvshows chng.it/5DZ6VSHY2y

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

Well, this gets it exactly right, doesn’t it?

Who's fault is it that these voters were so disinformed? This demands an answer. If we're just going to say, "They actively resist knowing" or "They're too slovenly to know otherwise," we're cooked. I feel very comfortable saying the media disinformed us all as awfully as any of our enemies.

The reason Elie Weisel said "no one is illegal" is because declaring people as "illegal" is an early step to creating a permission structure for mass dehumanization and genocide. That's why it matters. We are in the business of words. Accuracy matters in the word business. Intent and context matter

So I heard that we got a lot of new people over lately- hi! I was @ triplezmom, aka vituperator, at the other place.

Dumbest show not on Bravo…but agreed. I’ll be so sad when it ends, which had better not be for a long time.

You should read this.

I’m so excited for the return of my favorite period drama, “MILFs Wearing Hats”

Wait, BU DID WHAT? Glad Alice Wong has remained a powerful advocate as always, and that PEN America recognizes the innate discrimination in exploiting accessibility needs to censor speech that wouldn’t otherwise be censored.

This is a Jenna Lyons Stan account.

Thanks for getting me on Blue Sky, @danieljohnson.bsky.social ! Am I doing this right?
