Re: @hcrichardson.bsky.social Feb22 Letter, if the US military defends Trump (not the Constitution), the “best military in the world” image is dead. @malcolmnance.bsky.social @katiecouric.bsky.social heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/february-2...

Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer monster on the world scene 🙄 #karma @jayrosen.bsky.social @katiecouric.bsky.social

‘We’re clearly heading towards collapse’: why the Murdoch empire is about to go bang

Tell me you’ve never studied management theory but are just a domineering POS without telling me any of that. 🙄🤮 @rickladd.bsky.social @mcuban.bsky.social @katiecouric.bsky.social @danrather.bsky.social

BREAKING: The Associated Press sues three Trump administration officials over access to presidential events, citing the First Amendment.

Notice how the AP is suing the White House on freedom of speech, not freedom of the press. I hope @dbauder.bsky.social will say more about this as the story unfolds. Meanwhile here is something to read on the difference between the two. www.cjr.org/analysis/thi...

Who is going to tell Elon that he does NOT get to interpret people ignoring one of his emails as meaning they are resigning from the Fed Gov? @marcelias.bsky.social @glennkirschner.bsky.social @tribelaw.bsky.social @katiecouric.bsky.social @timothysnyder.bsky.social @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

Can we just make Yosemite, Sequoia, Joshua Tree, Lassen, Pinnacles and all the National Parks in California into Cal State parks? We can hire the rangers back and take care of our lands. We have 9 of the 63 National Parks here. The park rangers were treated so cruelly, and our lands are forever.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Read this measured but heartbreaking account of the disastrous Musk/Trump destruction of USAID and what its devastation portends for the world and our nation’s indispensable role in relieving global suffering www.thebulwark.com/p/the-human-...

@jayrosen.bsky.social What do you think of those who control the CBS Evening News choosing to report news it makes it sound like everything is normal in America? (Causing viewership to crater) @oliverdarcy.bsky.social report is shocking! 😱

Scoop: 40 news orgs have signed on to a letter circulated by the WHCA supporting the AP and denouncing Trump's move to block them from official events. The WHCA has gone through great pains to keep the letter from leaking, but I obtained a copy. Read it in Status: www.status.news/p/associated...

One of my tools as a critic had been a Twitter list called, "Top Journalism Linkers." Designed so that I could survey the space. It was the first thing I read in the morning. When I left it had 6.8K users. Over the weekend I rebuilt it for Bluesky. You can subscribe. bsky.app/profile/jayr...

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

Re: @hcrichardson.bsky.social Feb20: The truth will soon die. We must fight GOP lies: truth telling, incl like Hollywood’s efforts during WWII! @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social @markhamillofficial.bsky.social @beschlossdc1776.bsky.social @variety.com heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/february-2...

I should just give up, but… Democrats should imagine what Republicans would have said and done if Merrick Garland had gone to, like, Netroots Nation, called Don Jr a crackhead, and mused about fabricating criminal charges against Joe Biden's enemies, and then say and do that.

Gods dammit Oklahoma, we're literally freezing right now and can't afford groceries

Men, it's on all of us. You see this shit, step up and shut it down. SPEAK UP I don't know about you, but I am angry about this and I REFUSE to let this become the new normal. We're going to have to collectively inform this generation and the next that this, this is NOT OKAY

Rest In Peace, Anne Marie Hochhalter. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 #ColumbineShooting @katiecouric.bsky.social

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."
