Trump-free countries are so serene & peaceful.

This is entirely preventable. Science solved this problem more than 60 years ago.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Current mood

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Elon musing about prosecuting schiff isn’t mere politics, it’s a lot more than that. I wish Schiff would explain a little bit more of what a norms crusher this is.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 VoteVets stands with Ukraine. I stand with Ukraine. You?

It's impossible to fix a place that you hate. If we want America to live up to its promise, we need Americans of every stripe who are willing to put in the work to make this country a better place.

The truth that those who blame Democrats for "ignoring the working class" or "bad candidates" or any lie they tell themselves, don't want to see. White voters have voted for white supremacy since the Voting Rights Act was passed. Then they made sure it was gutted after Obama won a second term.

Explore our new report, Unreliable Verdicts: Racial Bias and Wrongful Convictions, which documents how the absence of diversity in juries can increase the chance of a wrongful conviction, especially in death penalty cases.

This is the question to keep asking. Especially Obama, Bush, and Clinton. Whatever norms you think you're respecting no longer exist. Where are you?

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Deport Musk. Fight for our country and our democracy now.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

It’s crazy to think this county was more tolerant of the differences among us 50 years ago than it is today.

@schumer.senate.gov it’s time to go. Please step aside. You can’t lead us out of this.

Zelensky is only half-right. The American people are still committed to our alliance with Europe, and specifically Ukraine. The US -- like Europe -- is under attack from Russia and has been partially captured by Russian collaborators. But we will defeat them.

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator

@axios What weak and pathetic excuse. #GulfofMexico

There’s no egg shortage in Germany.

On this day in 1945, an all-white, all-male grand jury in Alabama failed to indict any of the white men accused of raping Mrs. Recy Taylor, a Black woman. Despite a confession, the men were never prosecuted.

U.S. Dept of Veterans Affairs confirms it has dismissed more than 1,000 employees A once unthinkable concept for an agency that operates 100+ major hospitals and many hundreds more clinics And processes veterans benefits news.va.gov/press-room/v...

Dismantling the death penalty is a responsibility that belongs to all of us. Inspiring to see how a group of nuns are trying to save women on death row in Texas: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

DOJ lawyers should go on a mass nationwide strike.

And for the third straight day, the rest of the legacy media did nothing to stand up for the First Amendment. No boycott, no walkout, nothing but business as usual. Then, they wonder why people are canceling subscriptions and turning off their TV's while independent news outlets are thriving.

Bobby would be so damn ashamed of his son

I hope Zelensky wipes Putin from the face of the earth.

NYC, you coulda had @maya4rights.bsky.social. Alas.

When horrendous news comes at us as fast as it has in the last few weeks, the only way to process it is to come together and discuss what’s happening (and more importantly, talk about how we fight back). Join @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social tomorrow for their weekly discussion.

On this Valentine’s Day, I’m asking you to take a moment and think of Manny Oliver’s love for his son, Guac, who died in the Parkland school shooting. open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Pretty damn good framing for Dems

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

On this day in 1946, a white police chief brutally beat Sgt. Isaac Woodard, a Black World War II veteran, just hours after he was discharged. The attack left Sgt. Woodard permanently blind.

When the “parent of the problem” enters the chat & gets escorted out of the PTA meeting: That “you need to leave” is iconic.

Doug Mills is one of the greatest to ever do it.
