He nails it.

I've been seeing lots of super compelling videos of park rangers and federal lawyers and other federal workers telling their stories. Talking about what they did at their job, how it helped the American people, and why they want to keep doing those jobs. This is the way.

A reliable voice. If you've never seen Jonathan Pie, then...brace yourself. youtu.be/Jk0nUUqG_Ag?...

Spot on.

It may be a bit late in the game for this but

If she can do it, we can all do it.

Show me someone pretending that Prince Harry hasn't kicked Rupert Murdoch's arse from here to eternity & I'll show you a Murdoch lackey/Trump apologist/bare-faced liar. Some people may even fit all three categories!

I dedicated years of my life to reporting on January 6 and exposing what happened. I was there that day, co-wrote a book, and published a series of major stories on my own, for Rolling Stone, and for TPM. I hope it mattered. I hope history will remember and understand what happened.

My husband has started calling cybertrucks "Deploreans", so I'm petitioning Merriam-Webster to add that to the English language permanently.

I wrote a thing about aging at work. As a woman in tech, the window between being too young to take seriously and past your prime is an incredibly small one. Why is that? And what would happen if we refused to become invisible at work? www.reworked.co/employee-exp...

just gonna say that, whatever comes of this scandal, Mark Robinson is as of now the sitting Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina and none of this stuff prevented him from rising that high. please fund local journalism everywhere i'm fucking begging you

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #6,095,592!

Maybe after 14 truly dismal years of Tory government, it would be better to think about the *many* ways that you broke it in the first place and then consider why the hell anyone would trust you to fix it after that? #TooSimple #TooSmug #TooSoon

Trump and Vance are going to escalate more as things get worse.

This is the energy I want to bring to Bluesky.

Lots of takeaways from the Russia-funding-a-right-wing-social-media-site story, but one important one is that it euthanized the delusional idea that Russia wasn’t trying to influence our politics. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Given the news from the US, can we pretty please now see the unredacted version of the Russia Report in the UK? If not, is it *finally* time to allow the security services to properly investigate?
