She is all of us.

…. and then it is going to make people say I’ll keep applauding what the fürer says until I drop because I’m scared I’ll be sent to the GULAG if I stop applauding… These guys are so f***g stupid and ignorant of history, they don’t realize they are usually the first to go.

More of this, please.

“Trump’s demand that Smith’s report be suppressed is a useful reminder that he really hates truthful accounts of January 6th, even if—especially if—they are based on testimony under oath from many different individuals, including many who worked for him.“

Release the damn report already.

Zuckerberg: "We're going to move content moderation to Texas, a hotbed of white supremacy, LGBTQ hatred, anti-abortion zealotry, and all-around right-wing kookiness, because it will ensure a more even-handed tone. Kidding. It's so Trump won't break up the company."

At the VERY LEAST, since he accomplished nothing else to hold the leaders of this accountable, Merrick Garland needs to release the damn report and stop being afraid of his own shadow. Weak people all over this Admin is part of what got us here.

He’s the only candidate for president in American history who refused to accept the will of the people. He committed crimes trying to overthrow the election. He incited a violent attempt to overthrow the election. A people that truly cared about democracy would’ve made him a pariah. Shame on us.

At the time, everyone, including Republicans, understood how bad it was. Then, brick by brick, they built a foundation of lies to justify doing what they know, deep down, to be wrong. Trump betrayed the country. And so do they.

CJR asked some of us what we’re watching for (or worrying about) in 2025. After noting a few of Trump’s meritless lawsuits, and ABC’s $15MM settlement, here’s my conclusion: 1/2

President Biden has awarded Liz Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson (chaired the Jan. 6 Committee) Presidential Citizen Medals.

Canadian MP Angus is not afraid to tell Americans the hard truths as Trump attacks his nation.

In a devastating rebuke for Democrats, polling shows they lost by double digits among voters whose megachurch preachers declared they were agents of Satan.

Soon enough, Trump will start to execute his agenda. He will continue to lie about the 2020 election. Those of us who call him out for what he is — a deranged election-denying autocrat — will be vilified and threatened. That is how we know we are doing the right thing. That we are effective.

As the second Trump administration takes form, many seek to understand what motivates the incoming president. Happily, James Thurber provided us the answer in advance in his story, The 13 Clocks, where a character explains: "We all have flaws, and mine is being wicked."

This is how you headline. Masterclass.

Gaetz : shame on Rs for bottling this up; shame on any R who gives any nominee the benefit of doubt; shame on any Senator who voted for any nominee without full FBI examination; shame on Fetterman for treating Trump nominees as legitimate; shame on media for using euphemisms for child rape

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So, this week I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

instead of the Monroe Doctrine, we now have the Moron Doctrine

@karaswisher.bsky.social, git r dun! www.thedailybeast.com/kara-swisher...

We stopped extreme MAGA Republicans from shutting down the government and crashing the economy. The American people have won this round. Far right billionaires have lost. The struggle continues in the new year.

Earlier this week, Bret Stephens, a house conservative at the New York Times wrote a particularly terrible piece titled “Done With Never Trump.” @therickwilson.bsky.social wrote a reply to Bret. Never Trump means Never Trump. If you agree, please share it widely. bit.ly/4fq8ytB

I was the Senior Technical Advisor for the January 6th Select Committee. I don’t want a pardon I want a bar fight.

Tired of media outlets that leave you angry at their groveling owners? Or cringing with embarrassment at dumb editorials? Want to hang out with writers and thinkers who will annoy you 60% less? Maybe 65% less on a good day. Who will help you see around corners? Well have I got a magazine for you:

Honestly, if I can stand up to Trump's bullying in court, shouldn't a multibillion dollar company be able to? Perhaps the difference is that I wear his scorn like a badge of honor and Disney is too frightened not to put on a stupid red hat.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

Kevin: "  The only thing I would take from all this discussion, and Van tell me if I'm right or wrong: When Republicans lose, we never say we have to have therapy." Sarah: "You just say you didn't lose." Kevin: "I never knew who she was until today."

I'd like to report a homicide.

I’m almost sure we’ll have a good chance to witness something very close to that @gtconway.bsky.social

If we all find 100 posts to like every day, engagement and good will on @bsky.app grows exponentially. Is it worth a few minutes to make the platform stronger ?

I’m starting to think—I don’t want to go out on a limb prejudging here, so I’m just tossing this out for consideration—that Trump is full of shit.

“Donald Trump’s suggestion that members of Congress who investigated his illegal and unconstitutional actions should be jailed is a continuation of his assault on the rule of law and the foundations of our republic.” — Rep. Liz Cheney www.nytimes.com/2024/12/08/u...

This is just wrong.

Some say arsenic is poisonous to drink and could kill you, while others claim it’s delicious and nutritious. In today’s @latimes.com we look at #bothsides of this debate… 😬🙄

DOGE is nothing more than two billionaires cosplaying as government officials. I’m all for making government for efficient, but these guys just want to slash resources for agencies that help working people. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

This is how you do it. Tell the truth. Expose the fakery meant to scare people into submission. Well done, @maxwellfrost.bsky.social

Imagine going to a job interview and telling your potential employer that if you get the job you'll stop drinking.
