in so much news coverage there’s still this sense of propriety and decorum in the face of an outright assault on our civil and human rights. i just want to remind journalists that your politeness will not save you—so you might as well say what you really mean.

From Media PA today

Firing 10,000 of our nation's top scientists, doctors, and public health experts is not reform—it’s sabotage.

“Polestar wants to deliver the final blow. … Polestar is offering anyone who owns or leases a Tesla $5,000 off a lease on a brand new Polestar 3. Combined with their latest $15,000 Polestar Clean Vehicle Incentive, any Tesla driver can buy a Polestar 3 for a whopping $20,000 off.”

Overall impression of the @wyden.senate.gov and @repbynum.bsky.social town hall. This is a Blue district with Blue electeds: people are angry. Real angry. I honestly think that's a good thing. We need to get angry. We need to use our anger to stop this coup because no one but us can do it.

A federal judge ordered DOGE must open its records to the public under federal law.

Chuck, you should call your Congressman or Senator. Give your ZIP code. US Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121. Let us know how it turns out! @schumer.senate.gov

Been thinking about the loss of faith in legacy media and how the new indie outlets are largely run by white dudes. You know what news network I would watch the absolute fuck out of every day? One led by @joyannreid.bsky.social , @tiffanydcross.bsky.social , @katiephang.bsky.social (/1)

THIS. A huge part of the job of high ranking electeds is communicating their policy goals in a clear & convincing way. You don’t just *follow* the voters, you have to lead them too.
