hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

Kash Patel has no business leading the FBI. I'll be voting NO on this dangerous pick.

Now is the time for our citizenry to fight for our federal workers and national programs. Let’s stand up to the power-mad autocrats, plutocrats and theocrats attacking democracy—at home and abroad. I spoke with @briantylercohen.bsky.social about our historic assignment today.

Holy shit. Senator Dick Durbin, the Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee, has proof suggesting Kash Patel may have LIED under oath when he said he did not know Stew Peters, a right wing extremist who worked with prominent Neo Nazis. See below: Vote NO on Kash Patel!

Is it true what I heard? PGA executive in Oval Office with tump on a phone to Saudi Arabia negotiating a merger with LIV? tump has financial gain in this. Can’t find it anywhere now. Did anyone else see this? Seems like a gross misuse of Oval Office and the presidency. Conflict of interest.

I know this is cheesy, but I’m going to say it anyway: Don’t forget to show up for yourself. For awhile I stopped doing my long weekend runs and I’ve been back at it for several weeks and it makes all the difference. Whatever your thing is, don’t stop doing it!

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.
