IF some Republicans are scared to stand in for what they know is right, THEN what protections could be put in place? It seems like a realistic fear. We need their voices and votes! I’d like to see a show on that topic. @jenpsaki.msnbc.com @maddow.msnbc.com

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at [email protected].

In these dire times, I am deeply grateful for the well-informed commentary by @anneapplebaum.bsky.social #resist #thankyou #freedom #democracy

Just wondering where @stephruhle.bsky.social is these days? Used to be a prolific poster. Maybe still on the oligarch’s platform? I am wondering her observations on Scott Bessent giving Musk free rein at Treasury.

Listening to @joannacoles.bsky.social (Chief Content Officer @thedailybeast.bsky.social) deep misunderstanding of who Elon Musk is & what he’s up to, i question the value of that publication. He is dangerous. Period. My subscription is definitely at risk. youtu.be/MZ9xOG2AFOE

I appreciate @amnanawaz.bsky.social of @pbsnews.bsky.social focused & tenacious questioning of guests who try dodge difficult questions. Tonight’s example: Beth Van Schaack, Ambassador-At-Large for Global Criminal Justice, claiming genocide in Sudan but not Gaza — really? Humph. Keep it up, Amna!

With all the talk about Judge Merchan’s plan to impose a sentence without jail time or fine & with an unconditional discharge on January 10, I’d urge him instead to condition Trump’s discharge on obeying the presidential oath he will take on January 20. That’s a promise we know Trump won’t keep.

And subscribe to her Substack “Open Windows”. We need to support every investigative journalist.. and cartoonists standing up to power.

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

This is highly disconcerting. WaPo editors killed an editorial cartoon that mocked Bezos and other tech oligarchs. Will the Post respond to this? Democracy dies with accommodation. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Great minds, eh....In my latest OUR LAND newsletter, I looked at the interaction between voter ignorance and media fragmentation—and what this means for democracy. link.motherjones.com/public/37614... You can sign up for a FREE trial subscription at www.motherjones.com/ourlandnewsletter.
