I wrote a post about the Klan 100 years ago and how the grip they held on the US seemed impossible to break, but people fought them anyway. And it’s been read by tens of thousands of you (!!!). I guess people want stories of hope right now. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Today would have been my dear friend John Lewis's 85th birthday. In times like these, we ought to look to John's example — his unflinching courage in standing up for what was right. I miss John every day. Let's honor him by continuing his fight.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Goddamnit, #BrokenPost, it's not "anti-woke." It's FASCISM. With this framing you only justify the FASCISTS' -- Putin's and Trump's -- propaganda. Putin raised the anti-woke banner long before it flew over Washington www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

I sincerely doubt any journalist of color I know would be allowed to write "I didn't know this important aspect of US history and read the Wikipedia summary of it to catch up" in a prominent newsletter read by every important person in the nation's capital

If this were France, farmers would be blocking every highway with tractors by now, teachers would be on strike, garbage wouldn't be picked up, unions would be on strike 24/7, there would be mass protests in every city, everything would be at a standstill.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

Look this sucks but news outlets need to start realizing there's limited journalistic value in sitting in a room and letting a person behind a podium lie to you. You're not holding anyone to account when you do that.

You know, the rest of the White House Press Corps could collectively decide to not attend briefings, pressers, or pools until their AP colleagues are reinstated with access, but that would take a modicum of courage and integrity in this moment, wouldn't it?

It should be a source of profound embarrassment that a bunch of FedSoc lifers are taking a more vocal and principled stand against the corrupt Eric Adams deal than most elected Dems.

Any news organization that relies on AP Style - but makes this exception to avoid conflict with POTUS ought to also feel bad about itself.

AP's still banned and the rest of the White House press corps leaves them hanging. I honestly don't get it. Didn't they all rally around Fox News a couple years ago?

The AP must refuse this but more importantly the rest of the White House Correspondents Association should back them. Boycott the press briefings until they relent, and if they refuse, walk out. There is no real use to them in any case. Trump craves attention. Deny him that and he’ll cave.

So stop trying to get in. Every self-respecting news org except pool video should boycott until White House retreats. There’s no honest q-and-a anyway. Watch the video, report if merited. apnews.com/article/trum...

Vaccines are good. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. Gender affirming care is good. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. "But big pharma!" misses the forest for the trees. The problem with big pharma isn't the medicines. Medicines and vaccines are good! It's the price they charge for them.
