We're doing these racists a big favor when we pretend their project is in any way based on actual grievance with modern DEI policy. They just want to promote the belief that no non-white person has ever been worthy of any praise or qualified for any honor or position

Fofana goes studs up into Trossard's ankle. He's now stamped on Declan Rice and cleated an opponent with a raised boot. He has not been shown a yellow card.

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

These are bold and wild allegations from the FBI, which is moving to criminalize organizations like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the EPA. In a court filing, Citibank disclosed that it had been directed by the FBI to freeze the bank accounts of these groups.

When you feel like you need to move from protesting outside of USAID to protesting outside of Chuck Schumer’s office it’s time for a change. Let’s stop playing games. Let’s be honest with each other and as a party. This is not working and it is not acceptable. And this cannot continue.

Creating a big tent is fine, great even. But that tent has to have a pole, a backbone, a set of values it believes in and policies it supports, otherwise it simply caves in and is no kind of shelter, gathering place or party at all.

Feels silly to think about the 2028 primary right now, but a quality I will be looking for is a willingness to move fast and rebuild with serious urgency

Just an unbelievable own goal that the party—and specifically Pelosi, who had great strengths as Speaker—put an ancient and not nimble messenger in this key public committee spot instead of @Aoc who is absolutely one of the best comms people in entire party.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

We’re all worried to some degree that Trump supporters are going to kill us or get us killed. It’s not going to get better for any of us unless good people resolve to stand up to them.

Lead story in @nytimes.com tonight speaks to one small way protests help shape national discussion: photos. Without protest, how would a news org visualize this debate? Treasury, computers, DOGE? Many feature Musk smiling. Here we see the drama of public opposition, which also helps justify story.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

Yeah, it's just one match in a 38-game schedule. But I can barely begin to express how good that win feels. This season has been a rough one for Arsenal, filled with bad luck. And to do THAT to THEM. Oh boy.
