I get the sense the void is not taking our screams seriously…

Brilliant idea, @nickkristof.bsky.social My next book is “Why Nothing Works” by Marc Dunkelman, about liberals/NIMBYS in the way of progress. Seems right in line with these. Maybe I’ll start a book club with my peers in west Michigan

“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.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

This is who Republicans just made FBI Director. Kash Patel calls for “offensive operations” to jail Americans who they consider “the enemy.” “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media”

"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Dark Pence is back.

Wow. Go Meidas Touch!

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

No administration is responsible for all these issues but having taken credit for “restoring aviation safety” makes you look like freaking idiots.

Thanks to the brilliant @joycewhitevance.bsky.social, I applied to #DOGE - not as myself, but I applied. You should too, read her newsletter. WE are the #resistance! #Democracy is US.

This is probably the most accurate take.

We’re done here. Right?

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate Kendrick: actually

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania successfully synchronised their electricity systems with the European energy network today. This is a key milestone for the Baltic States and for Europe strengthening energy resilience and independence across the region. ⚡️

Mindset reset: Right now, brave Ukrainians are defending their land & loved ones, at the cost of their sanity, limbs & lives. It’s an existential fight for their democracy & way of life. If the Russians lose, they go home. If the Ukrainians lose, they will be overrun & destroyed. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

I looked into this before sharing and…it’s true. An electric vehicle company getting a break isn’t exactly the problem. It’s that it’s musk who is trying to ripoff everyone else. Ugh. #ElonMusk #Tesla

“For whatever reason, people of color have a higher incidence of maternal mortality."

Reality TV actor Sean Duffy’s last 3 tweets as Secretary of Transportation are: -fighting with Hillary Clinton -more fighting with Hillary Clinton -lamenting the third(!) airline crash that's occurred since he was sworn in

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

Why.

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

I will never understand how people could vote for this man. This is utterly bewildering. #Gaza #Palestine Should always and forever be free.

Thank you senate democrats. Doing what you can 💙 @senatedem.bsky.social

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

THIS.

Here is the NYT doing its job, that it has always done. I will never stop promoting our free press. If you think it has no value, I say again, you’ve lost the game set up against you by those who would undo our freedoms - especially that of the free press. @nytimes.com #trump

Experts question whether Edward Coristine, a teenage DOGE staffer who has gone by “Big Balls” online, would pass the background check typically required for access to sensitive US government systems.

MORONS.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
