Yet another grifter.

Sean Feucht’s political function is to recruit apolitical Christians into the MAGA movement where he molds them into a fighting force for anti-LGBTQ and anti-liberal hate, so it’s not that surprising that he’s remunerated himself quite handsomely for that work. open.substack.com/pub/friendly...

It's a never-ending source of astonishment and frustration that so many just assume brilliance on the part of tech bros who follow absolute losers like this guy. So few people have a working bullshit meter. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Graffiti left by DOGE-shit staffers: rats, roaches that were never there before; weed everywhere. Kind of shit hole condition the Trump just love to complain about? Are they going to arrest all the DOGE-shitters and make them pay?

Thix Maddow report on what staff of the National Institute of Peace found when they went back after Musk and his crew wrecked it is just astounding. Astounding. Efficiency my ass.

Haitian-born Pierre Toussaint was literate, intelligent, and a talented fiddler. He was apprenticed as a coiffeur and could keep some of his earnings. His enslaver, Mary Ann Schuyler, and her SIL, Eliza Hamilton — the wife of Alexander — were his 1st clients. Free Link: archive.ph/CTyLM #BlackSky

Cyber bullying is an extension of in person bullying (schools, etc.). So if they really wanted to make online use safer for children, they’d address where much of the bullying begins and hold schools accountable for not doing more to protect students. They wouldn’t ban SEL, but encourage it…

Holy f*ck! Where do they find these less-than-mediocre people?! We are so screwed. 🚨 The new head of FEMA just said he was unaware the country has a hurricane season—according to four sources familiar with the situation.

Can anyone name even one piece of legislation since 1981 originating from either a Republican POTUS or Congress that benefits the average American worker? Has the GOP passed ANYTHING since Reagan besides tax cuts for the wealthy & big corporations or deregulation?

Wait WHAT?! People are bracing for storms and this man just found out the weather exists?! This is what happens when you hire vibes over qualifications.

I am throwing down WTAF with abandon because every other post requires it. He did not know about hurricane season? How does any sentient being in the US NOT KNOW about hurricane season? Might as well just say he never, ever, ever reads.

Worth emphasizing that the PLO is doing everything possible to make Israel and the West feel as coddled and safe as ever and in exchange the Israelis tighten their grip on the occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health conducts critical research that workers rely on to stay safe on the job. But the Trump admin is gutting the agency, putting workers’ safety and health at risk. They must reinstate all NIOSH workers NOW!

I frequently watched Matt Miller lie through his teeth about Israel all last year. It was appalling and disgraceful. And to my knowledge, he has never owned up to it, or apologized. He, like others in the Biden State Dept. who carried those lies should never again work in Democratic politics.

Matt Miller says Israel has 'without doubt' committed war crimes in Gaza. But last year, @premthakker.bsky.social asked the State Dept why it wouldn’t enforce its own laws in response to Israeli war crimes. Miller responded by personally attacking him, suggesting he had ulterior motives.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Today: A fluff piece on Musk in NYT. It includes glamour photos, with the shirt and motto Musk chose, from the Bezos WaPo (via Getty). The Musk PR-run press rehab tour continues!

A thought: Perhaps more people should use podcasts to broadcast the voices and stories of victims of Trump's policies. It might be a good use of journalistic resources in the Trump era. Maybe even better than trying to be a "Joe Rogan of the left."

Trump promised mass deportation. Trump is trying to deliver mass deportation. Folks who want you to believe they didn't vote for this when they pulled the lever for Trump need to be asked what they're willing to do to stop it.

This is a simply stellar piece of journalism. @franciswilkinson.bsky.social spends time in Charleroi, a northern Pa town in decline. Haitian immigrants settled here (like countless Americans have done throughout this country's history) and helped revive the town. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/feat...
