People keep bemoaning the lack of leaders in the liberal democratic world - and I echo them. But we overlook Zelenskyy, who is as admirable a symbol of courage, resolve, clarity and righteousness as you will find.

Do you remember the crazy energy Kamala Harris got at the beginning of her campaign? All that energy is there for the taking by any Democrat who grabs the news cycle with consistent attack against Chump. Come on now

Pence calling-out Trump's lie about Ukraine is good, but before I get to celebrating Pence leaving the dark side, I have to ask where he was for the tens of thousands of lies Trump pushed in office last time and all those he's told since.

Among the few Dems who are rising to the moment, @govpritzker.illinois.gov stands out. He's clear, strong, pulls no punches. Among others who are doing a strong job: @aoc.bsky.social tops a list that also includes @raskin.house.gov @schatz.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social.

This really needed to be more than 30 minutes

Europeans, for their own sake and that of the world, need to play hardball with Russia and its new ally, the United States. That should include: rejecting any talks that do not involve Ukraine, providing new security guarantees to Ukraine--including troops on the ground...

Countries that support the international order that the U.S. helped cultivate since World War II, that are committed to democracy and the rule of law, that seek peace, stability and prosperity in the world must at this moment view this US admin not as a faltering ally but as an active opponent.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

This is the reason other news outlets need to put their foot down more. They need to show the leverage they have. At the end of the day, Trunp doesn't want to only communicate through Newsmax, OANN, and Breitbart.

This is, in no uncertain terms, a rout. The New York Times published an unfortunate op-ed trying to legally justify Trump administration's #Birthright citizenship order. Here, five leading scholars show, with analytic precision, how that op-ed was "fundamentally flawed and irresponsible."⬇️

I see a lot of trans folks scared that we're going to be exterminated right now. And you're right that they're going to try. So I want to say this: they tried before, from 1981-1989. And for most of you, every moment of queer joy you've ever had came in the shadow of that last effort to kill us.

“We are the checks and balances,” says federal worker Chris Dols, who is organizing protests against mass government layoffs. Dols calls on the broader labor movement to get involved in opposition to DOGE’s power grab.

Here’s the thing about the White House banishing the AP that makes me crazy How does the rest of the White House press corps not understand that the AP is a proxy for *all the rest of them?

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

“Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and redeem the soul of America.” - John Lewis Bravo, ex-NFL player Chris Kluwe for this act of civil disobedience against MAGA 🇺🇸

a new agency made of teenage neonazis and drug dealers is in charge of the entire government. the richest man in the world, who gave a nazi salute at the president's inauguration, says he is in charge. officially, he isn't. the government won't tell the courts who is in charge

Mike Lawler is a gutter racist.

Wow. Mike Lawler met with the Westchester County Legislature today and when JOSE ALVARADO - an elected County Legislator and Vice Chair - brought up concerns about ICE, Lawler actually wondered out loud whether Alvarado was a citizen or not! #NY17

SICKENING!!! My congressman, Mike Lawler, questioned the citizenship status of José Alvarado, a Latino county official, at a public meeting when he asked what documentation "somebody that looks like me" should provide if stopped by ICE. Alvarado has lived here since 1982. Lawler was born in 1986.

Incredible stuff in here: They ID'ed him, in part, by going to court hearings and watching him post

The fact that he is declaring himself a nondemocratic ruler is in fact an important piece of context about those actions.

How long do you think it will take before Trump starts calling Kathy Hochul ugly? #congestionpricing

My God, @politico.com. This is beyond embarrassing.
