"We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States" from @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Trump and Vance would NEVER, EVER, talk to Putin like that. And everyone knows it.

U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

This is probably the most accurate take.

More of this, America.

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment

I do not understand people who find a game like this boring. There is an art to an absolute trucking and this is a masterpiece

BLACK PEOPLE WON TONIGHT. NO, I WILL NOT BE EXPLAINING.

The ASL version of “Not Like Us” is magnificent.

I keep thinking about how the democratically elected mayor in s01 of Silo actually had no power; all the power resided with the head of IT.

Senator Schiff (as Dems filibuster the nomination of Project 2025 author Russ Vought): “The moment you say it’s ok to violate the law to shut down USAID you have said it is ok to violate the law and shut down anything.”

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Apparently “checks and balances” is a meaningless phrase, just like “thoughts and prayers”.

What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.

like if you wanna be a hero, you need to tell people who the villain is

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

……… welp

A mirror big enough to expose the hypocrisy, hate, and division being sown by those at the highest levels of our government.

My daughter & her 6th grade class in a white suburb just read this book. Her little bro & I followed along on audiobook, read by the great @levarburton.bsky.social. It’s an extraordinary, funny, touching book.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

And they call us DEI recipients

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

YELLING 👏 STILL 👏 WORKS

Heroes today, heroes tomorrow, heroes yesterday, heroes always. And, no orange turd and his kkansmen will ever be able to take that away. #TuskegeeAirmen

I'm putting together a list of little actions for Monday's newsletter. So far, I've got 1. Spamming the DEI snitch line 2. Calling Target and telling them to fall down a well 3. Find an alternative to your Amazon subscribe and saves 4. Downloading Libby and Hoopla apps Any other suggestions?
