"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

White House official pushes to axe Canada from Five Eyes intelligence group. Alienating our friends and courting our enemies. This is straight out of Orwell.

💥 BREAKING: At Apple's 2025 annual meeting of shareholders today, proposal entitled “Request to Cease DEI Efforts" is rejected by shareholders. Right-wing nonprofit National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) proposal was also rejected by Costco shareholders 98-2 percent.

Some sound advice:

The "unanimously" elected is a nice touch. Makes it even more North Korea-like.

🚨 SecDef Hegseth handed Putin a gift—blocking Ukraine from NATO and denying its right to reclaim land Putin illegally seized. This emboldens Russian aggression and puts American Troops at risk. Hegseth cheered the Iraq War, costing 3K+ American lives. Now he’s setting up another disaster.

There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.

I haven’t lived through the collapse of a civilisation before I study history so I have read the guidebooks, but they don’t quite capture the experience of being there

Since tariffs are a tax on U.S. importers, why do we permit the President to impose them unilaterally without authorization from Congress? Asking for a nation.

Hey Jim- You were the best that @cnn.com had to offer & will be deeply missed! I look forward to the next chapter in your career & I'm not just saying that because of the killer Yoda impression you did when I was on your show.

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy's letter so everyone is informed about RFK Jr. Please repost far and wide.

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.

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

Trump ordered the National Institutes of Health to cancel their review panels on cancer research. If you or someone you know has cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or one of many countless illnesses that needs a cure — this could have devastating effects.

Dear members of the press, Can one of you, PLEASE just ONE: When Trump says we deleted all the evidence, please for the love of God, push back. The evidence is all here: www.govinfo.gov/collection/j...

Over time we tend to forget the severity of an untenable situation. I watched 45 in an Oval Office signing of Exec. Orders. It’s always amazing to me the barrage of lies that can come out of one demented mind. Hardly a second between them. Warning: watching 45 can boil your brain.

Phil Rucker leaving Post means newsroom emptied. Bezos has/is destroying a great American paper.

This is correct.

South Dakota’s tribes barred Gov. Kristi L. Noem from setting foot on their land after she said drug cartels operate there — an allegation the nations’ leaders deny.

This is a lesser issue. Cabinet appointee routinely change their positions to get in line with the administration that picked them. The issue is whether these three nominees are qualified (they are not) and belong anywhere near a cabinet post. (They do not.)

This New Yorker cover by Barry Blitt, “Tightrope,” is dated Nov. 11, 2024, but I think it’ll age well . . .

Make America Good Again.

It's an old song. But I think it has a vibe for today's stress. youtu.be/gp5JCrSXkJY?...

Here’s a version that I found printed in Germany around a decade ago, ahead of its time. . .

Musk is just that pathetic.

NOW a warning?!

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

So today is a good moment to pause and remind yourselves: You are not the crazy ones for remembering what actually happened. And it is up to us to keep the historical record intact. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

This stream of Kash Patel’s baseless conspiracy theories about FBI on Jan 6 should disqualify him from leading the agency. Thanks to @normeisen.bsky.social and @tomjoscelyn.bsky.social for their work to compile it. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a “day of love.” The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, it’s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/defending-...

Virgin Islands Delegate Stacey Plaskett rises to forcefully speak for the 4 million citizens in Guam, the Marianna Islands, Puerto Rico & DC who have no voice in selecting a speaker & mostly can't vote for POTUS. She points out they include the highest concentration of military voters.

He’s not the world’s best businessman.

Hi Blueskyers. I run the organization @protectdemocracy.org which aims to do just that. Over the past decade we’ve won countless cases to protect voters and truth, helped pass legislation, and unfortunately predicted much of what’s happened. Follow and repost so we can keep doing that here.

They are offsetting the cost of lower taxes for billionaires by slashing programs for the most needy. So much for Christian charity toward the poor.

A pin cushion I stitched awhile ago. One of my faves.

One of my favorite stitches. Designed by Theresa Baird. Virginia.

I finished this some time ago, however, neglected to post. The Elizabethan coif by The Crewel Work Company. A joy to stitch.
