As popes go, Francis has been quite a good one. I hope we have some more time with him.

Being a Black person and being a woman makes a person DEI, apparently. Not a DEI hire, but DEI itself. Per the NYT.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

If you’re going to avoid saying Trump lies because you can’t prove his state of mind, you should also avoid saying he’s just trolling when you can’t prove that state of mind.

The very idea that the only reason to celebrate Frederick Douglass is because of his 'immutable characteristics', as opposed to the ones he used to become one of the greatest Americans in our history, is absurd. Why not just stop celebrating people, period?

Only someone completely demented or completely in the pocket of the administration could look at what’s happening now and write that Trump has “raise[d] a populist, working-class revolt on the interests that once held sway in the capital.” I’m going to scream but what if I never stop.

AP's still banned and the rest of the White House press corps leaves them hanging. I honestly don't get it. Didn't they all rally around Fox News a couple years ago?

The uncomfortable truth is the "Trump campaigned on egg prices" thing is something Dems tell themselves to rationalize what happened in November. Trump actually campaigned on hate and abusing power -- and won! The sorry state of the American electorate is a difficult thing to come to terms with.

I don't even really know how to put this in words but one of the signal experiences of the last decade is being confronted, over and over again, with how weak this country is. How hollow. There was so much less substance to it, to its leaders & institutions, than anyone thought.

This is a choice the establishment press will have to make in ways large & small - whether to be an organ of propaganda in to preserve direct access to propagandists and liars or to be an independent source of reported information about reality that follows the facts and that it’s audience can trust

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

I'm struck by the near-total failure of leadership across civil society, in a country that fetishizes the concept. Whole sections of leadership books at every bookstore. Named, endowed "leadership" institutes and curricula across higher ed. Awards and special recognition for "leaders." AND YET

Donald Trump and Elon Musk believe their power is unchecked and unaccountable to Congress and the courts. The scary thing is at this point I’m not sure they’re wrong.

This assumes that the major polling firms a) bother to actually conduct & publish legitimate opinion polls and b) the same news outlets which are paying millions in tribute to Trump right now bother to report them.

Pew Research estimates that 79% of hetero married women change their surname on marriage. Approx 69 mil American women no longer have a birth certificate that matches their legal name -- and that would, under this bill, disqualify them from voting. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

I’d be curious to hear a defense or explanation of word choices like “legal niceties” It’s similar to other recent coverage, e.g., saying “appeared to stumble” or “lacked familiarity” when a nominees like RFK Jr. got basic facts wrong. Such word choice paints a dangerously inaccurate picture.
