my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Did you read the book about Joe’s decline? Big Bill: No because he’s not the president anymore and he did a good job when he was the president.

Please read this from @jenrubin.bsky.social. Every sentence is catharsis. THIS is why the Tapper book feels obscene. Because it has to be squared with the media’s “cover-up” of Trump’s lunacy. And only one of these threatens our democracy. contrarian.substack.com/p/trump-and-...

DEMOCRACY: “We need to become a powerful majority to turn back bigotry & inhumanity amid this fierce urgency of now—not as a coalition of humanity that agrees all the time, but one united to save democracy & to finally realize the dream of so many who gave their lives to save us,” Donna Ladd writes.

It's possible she may be guilty of this crime, but it's unreasonable for her to pay too high a price for 20 seconds of action. Think of her future! Girls will be girls.

This has been a frightening week. Right here in our city, ICE is kidnapping school children and locking people up without due process. I'll be a Mayor who stands up and fights to protect New Yorkers from Donald Trump—not one who aids and abets his cruelty.

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

Great news! I'm told a few moments ago US Institute of Peace Board Chair Amb. George Moose went to the USIP building where he and legal counsel were able to retake possession after the recent court decision. They were accompanied by a small team securing the building and assessing maintenance needs.

She was a new voter. A young Hispanic woman in rural Georgia stood in line for hours — and was told her right to vote had been challenged. She was one of 250,000 Georgians targeted. I wrote about our lawsuit fighting back: @fairfightaction.bsky.social v. True the Vote.

Georgia’s challenge law dates back to 1908, when a Jim Crow–era “pure registration” law was passed to suppress Black political participation…One Black Army veteran who was challenged likened it to those old tactics meant to discourage and exhaust voters into giving up. www.ajc.com/opinion/fair...

It is an understatement to call these acts of censorship and violations of academic freedom “culture wars.” The Trump administration is determining what can be taught, dictating what students can read, saying what ideas are acceptable, and disallowing inconvenient facts and texts.
