The cowardice of the GOP has been astounding 👇 #TraitorTrump

If you're a white dude with some flexibility in your life, get a group of your like-minded bros together & go to these events to act as counterbalance to these "private security forces." Get in their way. Occupy space. Ask for their IDs. Outnumber them. Make their fascism difficult.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Looks like somebody has ADS: Acosta Derangement Syndrome.

Could @mcuban.bsky.social and @karaswisher.bsky.social please create a news network and hire @jimacosta.bsky.social as the lead anchor? Pretty please?

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

whoa wow can't believe other countries have their own economic interests and tools of leverage to respond to threats, gosh if only this was somehow knowable via 5 seconds of brain activity oh well let's plow ahead anyway, the median voter clearly said, "I've had it too good, I want to suffer"

The administration took down the reproductive rights website that women need access to. So The Skimm bought a url and brought the content back. Pass this on! Go to reproductiverightsdotgov.com

“In light of anti-democratic actions taken by the American owners of the Meta and X social media platforms, I encourage the Commissioner to recommend banning these platforms in advance of upcoming elections for the acute threat they pose to our democracy. Thank you for your time”

This is absolutely chilling. He truly is a sociopath.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked." She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

They really are.

Rachel @maddow.msnbc.com told me to join Bluesky last night and it only took me 24 hours to figure it out.

Mark Cuban is ready to fund a TikTok alternative built on Bluesky’s AT Protocol

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

I don’t know who did this, but thank you 🤣

Hope the LA Times is being sure to print the fire’s point of view too.

“We reaffirm our commitment to defending cartoonists & their right to create without fear. A society without the freedom to laugh, question, or criticize is no society at all.” Marking the Charlie Hebdo attack 10yrs on, with visuals from @anntelnaes.bsky.social cartoonistsrights.org/10th-anniver...

I have now seen the Ann Telnaes cartoon of Jeff Bezos's supplication before Donald Trump more often today than I've seen any other cartoon during the entire rest of the year. So, well played, Washington Post.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky

Ann Telnaes, a longtime political cartoonist for the Washington Post, resigned yesterday after owner Jeff Bezos blocked her cartoon criticizing Trump and the billionaires supporting him from being published. ❤️ if you stand with Ann!

Enter the year you turned 10ish into the gif bar and see what was popular back then…

If you take it literally, “Last Christmas” by Wham! is a song about organ donation from the POV of a ghost.

President-elect Musk is really setting down the marker of how he wants to run his administration. VP Trump better pay attention.

lol

If your plan to counter antisemitism actually advances the very same antisemitic conspiracy theories that have repeatedly fueled antisemitic mass violence — including the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history — it’s not a plan to counter antisemitism.

I’m not a Syrian refugee anymore. I’m Syrian. Just Syrian.

But how will they remember their heritage?

Seriously. Just try, for one moment, to imagine Elizabeth Warren saying on tv “I promise I’ll stop drinking if you give me the treasury.” Or a woman of color saying it about literally any job

The most outrageous thing is that he was citing NBC's OWN reporting about Hegseth's drinking, which quoted 10 current or former Fox employees. So is Mika apologizing for that, too?

Gangnam style went gangsta 🔥🔥🔥

Scoop: After the LA Times published a piece about Elon Musk that carried a headline owner Patrick Soon-Shiong didn't like, a new rule was implemented: Prior to publishing opinion stories, headlines must be emailed to Soon-Shiong, where he can then choose to weigh in. www.status.news/p/los-angele...
