That other place is becoming insufferable, so now I've migrated over here. I value empathy, compassion, democracy and my viewpoints are my own.

THREAD Here are a 20 quick points to remember the next time a loved one at the holiday party tries to make you fear the "illegals." 1. Trump is an illegal. $25 mil for education fraud, $2 mil for charity fraud, $364 mil civil fraud, $88 million for sex abuse & defamation, 34 felony convictions.

Elon said jump, Republicans said how high, and then threw their own bill in the shitter. They couldn't govern if Governing For Dummies was put right there in front of them and they tripped over it.

So Herschel Walker managed to snag one of those Black jobs Trump was talking about.

On Meet The Press Trump said that he "can't guarantee" prices won't go up because of his tariffs. But hey, it's what MAGA voted for. Right?

Look at that top line. VA Healthcare. That’s about 10 million veterans including elderly men and women in their 80’s.

SAD FACT: Majority of America hates women and Black people so much they’d rather have a white rapist racist in charge. Lame. Embarrassing. And fuck Hulk Hogan.

Meet the Ideologue of the “Post-Constitutional” Right Russell Vought, one of the architects behind Project 2025, believes there is nothing left to conserve. He desires revolution – and to burn down the system. Some thoughts from my new piece: 🧵

A friendly reminder: the ignorance of Trump voters is not our responsibility to fix. If they voted for him without understanding what a tariff was, that's on them.

Blue Sky team, you're building something special and great here. Keep at it. Stick with it. And please don't sell it to an evil billionaire who's going to come around waving a lot of money to gobble it up. Sincerely, a Happy Blue Sky user.

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all. Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

We tried to warn. And yet the press “fact checked” anyone who dared to say Trump was going to implement Project 2025—because he said he wouldn’t. Insane.

From what I understand, the Block feature on this app is lit. Which is good to know, since I suspect it won't be long before MAGA deplorables at the other place make their way over here.

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa. I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

This is what we could've had. An intelligent Black woman that was committed to moving the country forward. Instead racism and misogyny gave us a convicted felon that will drag us back by 60 years.

In the 5+ years since Chicago Police agreed to extensive oversight from a federal judge, police have fully complied with just 9% of the agreement’s requirements. New, @propublica.org @wttw.bsky.social

Prosecute criminals when you get a chance before they become vindictive Presidents with near unlimited power. But Democrats love decorum and civility and Merrick Garland. So here we are.

Too many people in America are willing to overlook racism and white supremacy. That's why we are where we are.

Well, that was quick. It's only 11 days past the election and already shit's getting real.

Don't let Trump play in your faces. He's meeting with Biden now as if his next run in the White House will be normal, but in reality it'll be anything but that.
