Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

A private citizen, with the backing of the President, illegally shut down a major government agency over the weekend and it is not on the front page of this morning's New York Times @peterbakernyt.bsky.social

Four years ago today my life changed when I had the first of three strokes in four months. The first clot hit behind my thalamus. The other two are on the right and left of my basal ganglia. I still have residual effects but I am thankful to be alive. I will always be at a higher risk for another

Some really good advice on how to deal with the challenging days now upon us. open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

I'm beginning to see the problem.

Since it's Christmas Eve, I'd like to drop this timely and poignant reminder: Jesus was WOKE. And so am I. Proudly.

CNN is hopelessly broken. 1. This "expansion" would require military invasions of several allies in violation of international law. 2. It would violate several treaties. 3. The Louisiana Purchase was the sale of land by a colonial power (France). These are sovereign nations.

The thing about the damning House Ethics report on Matt Gaetz, in which he is credibly accused of statutory rape and sex trafficking, is that Speaker Johnson tried to bury the report and prevent the public from ever learning about it.

I have a feeling these memes aren’t going away. 🤣 #PresidentMusk

Jessica: You say that people wanted this -- the richest man in the world wanted this. What's your problem with a bipartisan cancer research program?

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

People who've never been dependent on a paycheck should not get to decide how long you can go without yours.

Perhaps I've misunderstood all along and WaPo ownership views "Democracy dies in darkness" as aspirational.🤔

Larry Hogan lost so bad in Maryland that he’s seeing stars.

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist

Campbell’s witty response to this homophobe makes me want to enjoy some of their delicious chicken noodle soup right now! 🍜 🏳️‍🌈

They also deserve someone who isn't an actual felon sitting as president but here we are.

MAGA is losing its mind over at the old place...🥳

"Drinking is not a problem for me" - Pete Hegseth We know, dude. We know.

I think DeSantis would probably be okay as SecDef. He’s a jerk, but he’s not crazy. He’s a conventional guy; his problem as a GOP presidential candidate was that he couldn’t convincingly play a nut job on TV. But it’s sad that the best we can hope for these days is “not crazy.”

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

NEW: Rep. Jerry Nadler says he will NOT seek to remain as the House Judiciary Committee ranking member and is endorsing Rep. Jamie Raskin to succeed him.

December 1st: a day to honor Rosa Parks and her courageous stand for justice. Today in 1955, she refused to give up her seat on a bus in AL, sparking a movement that changed history. Let us carry her spirit of resistance with us. Thank you, Rosa, for showing us the power of standing firm. #Resist

There is no point in trolling if no one sees it. User control over our feeds is great. Including the ability to fully hide from everyone, unwanted replies, and block those people. If i hide a reply from a troll from everyone, no one sees it. Moderation is great Really helps engagement

Stop calling Trump’s nominees “loyalists.” They are henchmen.

Yup

When rumors of banning LGBTQ+ books hit the library board in a small Louisiana town, @librarianjones.com took action, facing death threats. For her, silence was never an option. “Hell hath no fury like a librarian scorned,” she writes. Join us at 11aET for the latest #VelshiBannedBookClub. #Velshi

Mexico is the leading supplier to America of produce like avocados & tomatoes, & the second largest importer of processed foods like dairy, food ingredients, sweeteners, prepared meats, snack foods, condiments…maybe settle for the seasonal guac at Chipotle next year. If you can afford to go out.

This is a great write-up by @barbmcquade.bsky.social www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

BREAKING: Many states are considering new tariffs on Florida to prevent the undesirable flow of Floridians into other parts of the country.

Funny because true.

One of the things I still don’t understand is how these tech bros can be pro-technology and anti science.
