Bunch of chickenshits is why.

Only the best people

Never again

This headline should be read and remembered by every news organization on the planet.

This made me snort laugh.

The decision of 250,000+ people to tell Jeff Bezos where to stick the Washington Post was further validated today.

And the opposition remains asleep for the most part.

Some brave people are standing up to Trump's goons in the "Justice" Department. They deserve our unflinching support.

Too good (and unfortunately, probably accurate) not to share.

It's stand on principal now -- or off to the gulags later. Not that much later.

As usual, Jen Rubin nails it.

lawless authoritarian government full of racist speed freaks -- vaguely rings a bell 🤔

Do not watch "the big game" today. Don't let your eyeballs help pay for Rupert Murdoch's Fox Network providing propaganda (and a public stage) to prop up Mango Mussolini. Murdoch has another network already doing that full time.

Please remember if you choose to watch the Superb Owl tomorrow that the Mango Menace will be there, one of his primary cheerleaders Tom Brady is calling the game, and Rupert Murdoch and Fox profit. Boycott.

Wow, it would be a damn shame if millions of viewers boycotted the Fox Superb Owl broadcast (with Mango Mussolini in attendance and Trump fluffer Tom Brady calling the game). Let's make Rupert Murdoch feel some financial pain.

Late boomers, early Gen X folks will get it.

Follow the money. Oldest say in the world for cops, prosecutors, journalists, etc.

I suspect that were are mere days always from former Speaker Pelosi quietly announcing her retirement.

I am not saying my stress level is high, but in the past month I've gone from "Self care is important, I am cooking a fresh, healthy meal" to "Frozen pizza and Scotch is a pretty balanced diet, right?"

Olympia, Washington.

Resist

Friends: I do not want to see any kvetching about people on the left who didn't vote for Harris. Those mistakes didn't decide this. White supremacists & whoever else wouldn't vote for a Black woman did this. Misogynoir. The enemy is WHITE SUPREMACY and FASCISM. Solidarity time. Now. Shore up.

To hell with Fox and the NFL. It would be a shame if the network had to reimburse millions to advertisers because a protest boycott cut viewership substantially.

The feckless D leadership in Congress need to step the feck up NOW. This is the bare minimum that should be done. Option 2 is sending Schumer to a farm upstate and unleashing Elizabeth Warren.

Now the whole country gets the experience of what it's like when private equity buys the place you work

"The irony of threatening violence in response to a plea for mercy perfectly encapsulates the nature of this ongoing coup: it’s not about conservative governance or even maintaining power — it’s about systematic destruction of democratic norms and institutions, laced with gleeful spite and hatred."

Amazing!!! From @deadder.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/deadder/...

Only the best people!

Yep. Sigh.

I shitcanned my LA Times subscription immediately after the endorsement fiasco. I've yet to see anything to make me change my mind.

The criminals are pardoned and career FBI agents fired. Welcome to Trump’s America.

I just permanently deleted my FacePlant/Feta account. Felt good. My last post: "Does telling Zuckerberg 'eat shit' violate community standards?"

Journalists past, present and future will enjoy the hell out this thread.
