Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

@warnock.senate.gov just got Leo's Lunch Box for my grandson (and me). Was delighted to read it as the story of loaves and fishes which I have always interpreted as a generosity miracle (Im a baptist preacher too and heard you preach once)Loved what you had to say with @chrishayes.msnbc.com tonight

Nice @chrislhayes.bsky.social "More red flags than a may day parade!🤣😍

“These are normal, everyday people who are saying I’ve had enough. I’ve seen institutions fall. I’ve seen universities, I’ve seen businesses, I’ve seen law firms not stand up, not support our liberal democracy. So what am I going to do as an individual?” “That’s what tomorrow is about.” - Ezra

I have been a supporter of @gavinnewsom.bsky.social since his very first public campaign but with hia new choice of direction and after the 25 hour speech of @booker.senate.gov I know who I want to vote for in 2018 and it ain't my gov in CA.

A Pentagon-wide advisory that went out one week ago warns against using the Signal, the messaging app, even for unclassified information.

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

@esglaude.bsky.social Indeed you ARE NOT an egghead.

@maddow.msnbc.com just an fyi @maxinefororegon.bsky.social is not from Maryland... jus sayin

I seem to remember something about "... your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free..." and another one about whenever you did it to the least of these you did it unto me." Never before heard about a 5 million dollar "gold card" for citizenship as the #BOTUS has just proposed.

FANTASTIC piece on the firing of @joyannreid.bsky.social from msnbc by @elienyc.bsky.social in The Nation. Absolutely agree 100%... and I've always loved your hair Eliw. For me I thought from.the git go that "this guy MUST be worth paying attention to" and I was right. THANK YOU

@joyannreid.bsky.social Will miss your show so very much! I look forward to seeing what comes next. 🥰

@maddow.msnbc.com I like the fact that you're on every night during this time... but I thought that @itsalexwags.bsky.social was going to be making reports from the road . I miss that and wish she had a segment and not just a podcast (though the podcast is great).

Singing The Battle Hymn of the Republic in the same building where insurrectionists flew the Confederate Battle Flag 4 years ago. Trump has a glow for himself while clearly understanding nothing of the song's meaning.

Oh you can say it, but be warned if you say it in front of me. I bite.

@hawksneststudios.bsky.social Hi there :-)

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image. All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

@eddsmitty.bsky.social Is that the origin of New Year's Eve "watch night"?

@michaelsteele.bsky.social Not to get picky(but to get picky) it was @aliciamenendez.bsky.social that used the term "screed" to describe that rant yesterday. Jus sayin.
