Today in @bocksam.bsky.social‬ 's countdown to MLK Jr. Day The “On Tyranny” @timothysnyder.bsky.social quote resonates for me, but the phrase "culture of denunciation" in the illustrated text below describes exactly what we are living daily at this point. #DemVoice1 bsky.app/profile/bock...

Butker should step aside. Make his wife a sandwich. He should realize his life really started when he became a husband and a father. He should give up his day job. He should realize he’s been told diabolical lies — his place is in the home.

Agreed.

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

Good morning, When we stop seeking knowledge and understanding there’s only only result…

A good reference thread.

I was on the board of a nonprofit that received funding from MacKenzie Scott. Her no strings attached gift was game changing. More philanthropists need to adopt this model instead of capitalist brained ideas of efficiency that are ultimately counterproductive.

I love how Denmark isn’t taking any shit from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣

Should be in every newsagents window.

Today seems like a good day to debunk the 12 biggest myths about taxing the rich.

Last night Timothy Snyder talked with Rachel about the idea of a shadow government to serve as a model and reminder of what is possible from a government of qualified people instead of Fox guests and family members. It came up twice, actually. Here's 1 of 2.

This cartoon is from 1930. It could have been today.

I’m going to start writing Boiling Frog Skeets: BFS #1: It is not normal for a President to fire an FBI Director who hasn’t done anything wrong #BoilingFrogSkeets

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. — Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

I’m not currently reading Agatha Christie by a crackling fireplace on a snowy day whilst indulging in multiple cups of tea and freshly-baked scones, so no, I’m afraid your email didn’t “find me well”.

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

"Way to go, Joe!" Says Rep Jasmine Crockett about the pardon of Hunter Biden. "We have a 34 count convicted felon that's about to walk into the WH. So for anyone who wants to clutch their pearls now, I would say take a look in the mirror."

Thankful for getting to watch my team play on the weekend and not having pesky work get in the way. 6am on Saturday morning but still… 🤩 #chiefskingdom #AFC #CHIEFS #NFL #kcchiefs #arrowhead #blackfridayfootball

Einstein's blackboard, which was preserved after his 2nd lecture at Oxford University on May 16, 1931. Its equations connect the age, density and size of the universe. After the lecture, the blackboard was taken directly to the History of Science Museum, where it is on display today. #histsci

A third of us tried to save two thirds of us from themselves. They’re about to find out.

Please remember there are billionaires spending money on outrage media to make you mad at federal civil servants instead of the Supreme Court they bought. Please save your outrage for the actual fascists.

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries. Why am I telling you this? In case you're ever asked "what were the key contributors to the Great Depression?" The mo' you know

Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention

It’s hard not to appreciate this guy. on.forbes.com/6010tRh1I

Not that anyone’s going to do anything about it, but it might be good to remember that, as an adjudicated oath-breaking insurrectionist, Mr.Trump is constitutionally disqualified under Sec. 3 of 14th Am from taking the oath as president on 1/20/25 unless 2/3 of both houses lift the disqualification

Ukraine was the first thing that popped in my head after the the election…

As an immigrant, I concur.

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94. His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

Wow. This video is truly eye-opening. Take a couple minutes to watch this. A mind-boggling visual representation of wealth inequality in America. This sh*t ain’t workin’, folks. #TaxBillionaires #UnionsForAll

Just watched a video of two loving fathers meet their daughter for the first time, my tears are streaming at the unbridled beautiful moment and then next minute this juxtaposition of reading the words “a post-Constitutional time” has me shook. I’m terrified for that gorgeous new family.
