@ohheygreat.bsky.social so glad to allow-list your newsletter at its new ghost.io address, brava

I would be remiss, and even churlish, not to share this wonderful-in-every-way post from @cabel.panic.com. The Snacks & Cereals of 2024 cabel.com/2025/01/27/t...

@schumer.senate.gov here you go

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

This is how you’re failing us @nytimes.com. You’re not a cooking site or a games site. You’re the goddamn New York Times. Have some courage and tell the truth.

@schumer.senate.gov maybe we could devote some time to this if we’re not too busy confirming RFK and Tulsi. We need you to be all fight all the time.

The @nytimes.com and the @washingtonpost.com are worse than useless in this moment. They’ve completely given up and seem to feel that their role is to make normal and boring any craziness and destruction, no matter how crazy or destructive.

"Substack is, just as a reminder, a political project made by extremists with a goal of normalizing a radical, hateful agenda by co-opting well-intentioned creators' work in service of cross-promoting attacks on the vulnerable." -Anil Dash www.anildash.com/2024/11/19/d...

@schumer.senate.gov we should not participate in any confirmations, or anything else, until Trump shows he will follow the law.

@schumer.senate.gov this is what time it is. Talking about how Trump’s policies aren’t lowering prices or helping Americans misses the point entirely. They are destroying the government. Respond accordingly. kottke.org/25/01/was-an...

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify. The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips. Good job, friends.

imagine if you were going to interview for a job and your whole family contacted the employer to be like "he fucking sucks. he would be horrible for your company. he grinds up animals in our garage and he led several family members down a path of addiction that sometimes led to death."

Gm to everyone in NYC feeling overwhelmed/hopeless. Same! I left messages with Sens. Schumer & Gillibrand, as well as Rep. Nadler, and guess what: THEIR VOICEMAIL BOXES ARE NOT FULL Let's fill their inboxes and tell them to DO SOMETHING: Schumer (202) 224-6542 Gillibrand (202) 224-4451

@seancasten.bsky.social my whole feed this morning is full of activist Democrats wondering where their members of Congress are bsky.app/profile/kott...

Yes, @seancasten.bsky.social obstructionism all day, every day. I would love a muscular, ornery, pain-in-the-ass opposition Democratic Party.

Democrats: How can we go viral? (a pastor goes mega-viral for calling Trump a bigot to his face) Democrats: What if Tim Kaine made a BLT on Instagram Live

There are still plenty of people out there for you to be kind to.

So when all was said and done, the only country that opened it's prisons and sent crazy murderous criminals to prey upon innocent American citizens, was us.

want to be excruciatingly clear about this: TikTok didn't have to go dark last night and it didn't have to turn back on this morning. both of those were voluntary moves that the law does not directly touch.

The problem with TikTok, to me, is not that they have our data, but that they control what each user sees. It's a platform that allows the Chinese to manipulate public opinion in very subtle ways, without anyone being aware of it. This seems incredibly dangerous to me.
