You guys, we are living through a coup 2.0. Except this time it looks like it will be successful, and a puerile, right-wing billionaire, not even POTUS, is going to be in charge of the U.S. Treasury, government personnel, and basically all of our personal data.

For the next four years, if you’re on 5th Avenue wear a bullet proof vest.

If I ran MSNBC, I would: 1. Make the @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social a daily show; 2. Give @mollyjongfast.bsky.social a daily show; and 3. Beg @nicollewallace.bsky.social to add another hour. But, I don't run MSNBC.

I've known for a long time, now, that @meidastouch.bsky.social is the future. But Mika and Joe made it abundantly clear this past weekend they are untrustworthy. Never have I been more grateful for @meidasjordy.bsky.social @bmeiselas.bsky.social and @meiselasb.bsky.social. Now join me in doing this

What's behind Trump’s gonzo cabinet nominations? Flood the zone? Yes, but it's deeper than that. Trump wants to deflect our attention while he and his fellow billionaires loot America. He's on his way to creating a government of billionaires, by billionaires, for billionaires.

Joe Scarborough dismissed critics of his trip to MAL, saying they are disconnected from “the real world.” Dear Morning Joe, we are part of the Real World, and elitist condescension only makes this worse. Story. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Are we happy yet?

This week: Paying attention is going to be increasingly important, no matter how painful it is. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Release the Gaetz report. Pass it on.

An excellent starter pack:

Great background on Bluesky.

This is so heartbreaking and beautiful and hopeful. Thank you for sharing it here.

Just finished my several-week-long binge watch of all six seasons of The Resident. It was a commitment but if you like a medical drama with a little soap opera mixed in, I recommend it.

The best time of the year in the #desert.

Good morning everyone! Current mood.
