This piece has some really cool insights into how @democraticags.bsky.social prepared (as much as they could -- Trump 2.0 has been full of terrible surprises) to meet the awful, frightening moment we find ourselves in as a nation. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

"It's kind of been sad, because I've been trying to prove to people that it's a really awesome truck that's not falling apart, and then mine starts to fall apart, so it's just... Yeah, it's kind of unfortunate and sad." Unfortunate AND sad? In this economy? www.roadandtrack.com/news/a638572...

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

When people cheer Mangione, watch for tons of pearl-clutching about norms from people who absolutely reject and ignore both norms and actual laws. They seek to impose standards they don’t follow. They’d never apply those norms and standards to Trumpism.

Sliding in here to remind everyone that Maine Gov. Janet Mills was state AG during part of Trump's first term, so he should absolutely take this seriously Also current Maine AG Aaron Frey is doing it already

Guess I'm going to NYC for opera from now on -- I love the place, and I know the takeover isn't its fault, but if this proves true, the Kennedy Center will be promoting domestic terrorists and I will not be able to give them my money any more consequence.net/2025/02/j6-c...

Lousy way to describe legislation that does nothing more than criminalize homelessness -- "address" suggests the measure actually does something to remedy homelessness, which it extremely does not

I really hate the "put up with the grime, it's a city" mindset, but I hate this sort of declinism more. A country that gives up on public transit bc it's scary, and crams more people into cars, is a failure.
