Slava Ukraini.

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

It is not "hard," it is unconstitutional.

‘Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.’ — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. On #MLKDay, we honor his legacy by choosing love over hate, justice over injustice, and hope over fear.

Marc Elias deserves encouragement for his amazing efforts. Folks, please support @democracydocket.com

The Washington Post calls January 6 and the events leading up to it "election-reversal efforts." It has gotten Orwellian over there. I will say again, support independent, pro-democracy media.

Everything stated in this post is a provable fact. You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts. Looking at YOU, 2020 election-deniers.

A real photo and perfect metaphor heading into 2025.

Well done, Bluesky!

We are saddened to learn of the death of President Carter. President Carter’s legacy extends beyond his 4 years serving in office, but also includes his post-Presidency work to build democratic institutions throughout the world. We offer our sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Well would you look at that.

He is exactly who we think he is.

CNN is hopelessly broken. 1. This "expansion" would require military invasions of several allies in violation of international law. 2. It would violate several treaties. 3. The Louisiana Purchase was the sale of land by a colonial power (France). These are sovereign nations.

I would be surprised if the government didn't shut down. It's the only way to find out what services people didn't know they were missing. Those are the ones Elon will say " see, no one noticed you were closed. Goodbye "

Land doesn’t vote. Stop pretending it does.

Satellite images appeared to show Russian forces dismantling military equipment at one of their key bases in Syria, suggesting that it may be preparing for a military withdrawal after former president Bashar Al-Assad was overthrown by Syrian rebels last week.

Nothing to see here, folks. No special favors to anyone we know.

“I won youth by 30%. All Republicans lose youth. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s changing. And last time, we were down 30% with youth. This time, we’re up 35% with youth." Trump on Meet the Press today just couldn't stop lying, as usual. He lost young voters by double digits.

Elon Musk’s rumoured $100m donation may fuel a fresh look at UK political funding. Ultra-rich fund parties, hire legislators, fuel corruption, subvert public choices. Make political donations a criminal offence. Must look at state funding of parties. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Hi, I listened to this on my flight home this morning and I am not feeling great

My piece on Patel is up. (Gifted here. Thanks, Bluesky folks.) www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

When your mother has no respect for you why should America.

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site. www.semafor.com/article/11/2...

Trump will not deport migrants working for the companies of his friends and donors, and he will grant tariff exemptions for the companies of his friends and donors. Watch.

Facts matter. Science saves lives. Anti-science destroys them.

This is like the least surprising news ever www.nytimes.com/2024/11/24/u...

Thank all that is holy for Bluesky 🦋

Lindsey Graham appears to be fresh off the golf course at [checks notes] nearly 10pm

Linda McMahon, President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for education secretary, has been accused in a lawsuit of failing to stop a ringside announcer for World Wrestling Entertainment from grooming and sexually abusing children in the 1980s and 1990s.

Three of President-elect Trump’s high-profile picks to join his Cabinet have faced serious allegations of sexual impropriety. Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. face questions about their personal actions as well as their professional qualifications. More: nbcnews.to/3CNyGRy

It’s difficult to overstate what a huge deal this is. Perhaps, dare we hope, justice is finally coming for the people of Gaza. A first, historic step.

JUST IN: ICC issues arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes.

Not a landslide. Not even a majority of the country.

Walmart CFO to CNBC: Look, as we have said before, our goal is to be the low price leader...but increased tariffs will increase prices for our customers.

Trump’s new Secretary of Education nominee Linda McMahon is being sued for allegedly enabling a pedophile to sexually abuse kids. The victims’ lawyers have released video testimonies describing the abuse.

A real mystery right here.

1.2 Millions Americans died because of his negligence, while he was sending our lifesaving supplies to Putin.

A veteran adviser to Donald Trump is proposing that the 60% tariffs that the President-elect has vowed to impose on Chinese goods also apply to goods from any country that pass through a new port that Beijing has built in Peru.

For Chancellor-hopeful Friedrich Merz, the keys to unlocking a new era of prosperity lie in revisiting the policies that helped drive Germany’s postwar economic miracle.
