“Woke just means you give a damn about other people.” - Jane Fonda, receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award at the SAG-AFTRA Awards.

Count me in for efficiency. Count me in for slashing government waste. But blanket layoffs at the FAA, or the folks that safeguard our nuclear arsenal, or the IRS employees making sure YOU get your tax refund… there’s nothing efficient about it.

Public service is not a “lower productivity” endeavor. It is the foundation of our democracy, and its value is incalculable. #holdtheline #forkoff

Anecdote: equal opportunity initiatives made them feel like they were forced to hire a person of color & that person didn’t work out - instead of seeming to indicate that only a white person could do the job to ur satisfaction, why not consider hiring process didn’t provide broadest candidate pool?

@jimacosta.bsky.social Thank you. For being logical, earnest and straightforward, and for speaking truth to power on behalf of the American people. This kind of simple bravery is what we need to help offset the waves of misinformation.

Smart take on my interview with Burchett on Jan. 6. We can’t let the truth about that day be destroyed. newrepublic.com/article/1905...

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” - Dr. Martin Luther King

Today, as the American flag flies at half mast to honor the passing of an extraordinary public servant, President Carter, I recognize the good works of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and recognize feminist leader, Cecile Richards. May these 3 honorable & inspirational Americans Rest in Peace & Power.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. Rest in Peace and Power, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

I loved and admired this woman. She was one I would follow into battle. A true fighter and ally in every way. God bless you Cecile Richards. Rest in Peace and Power. www.cnn.com/2025/01/20/u...

I’ve been so impressed with her. Just brilliant.

Incredibly illuminating post. One of the points that stood out the most to me? “Between 1981 & 2021, deregulation, tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations, offshoring of manufacturing, and weakening of unions moved $50 TRILLION from bottom 90% of Americans to top 1%.”

Mexico & Canada sending firefighters to help in California really says it all about who we are and who we must resist becoming.

I strongly encourage you to read this op-ed by Peter Thiel. He is considered the true brain of the Paypal mafia. The incoherence, paranoia & self-absorption, the meandering, impenetrable prose, the paper-thin thesis & logic… These are the men who want to run the world. www.ft.com/content/a46c...

@michaelsteele.bsky.social Thank you for standing up to respectfully represent your perspective @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social this morning. It is rare to see someone hold their own and push back at Mr. Scarborough and his diatribes which appear to run roughshod over his guests at times.

Before people politicize the tragic terror attack in NOLA this morning, let's please worry less about which party can score political points & more about making the community & the country safe now, and preventing future attacks.

Rest in peace, President Jimmy Carter. Your faith and vision illuminated our world.

I waited as long as I could to watch the finale of #Shrinking. So deeply, elementally good. Bravo to all involved.

This by @ryanlcooper.com article is still the most important election postmortem you will read. prospect.org/politics/202...

This holiday season, House Republicans want to break a bipartisan deal and furlough millions of hardworking federal workers— including 50,000 in my district—to placate the richest man in the world, President-Elect Elon Musk and his VP JD Vance. I voted NO.

These people eliminated 190 million dollars in childhood cancer research money to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest corporations in human history. I’m a no.

Like Conan has a SiriusXM channel that shares podcasts or Howard with his radio show, is there an engaging panel type news discussion channel on Sirius? Like create Air America redux or Morning Joe’ish content as a #SiriusXM channel. With multiple hosts and guests. We need more outlets.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social If you post a link every day on Bluesky of your latest piece, then we can all share it easily. I follow you in FB so I see when you post there. But I only see your coverage on here when you repost someone else who posted it. Thank you for your work! We need this.

The economy. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Steve Kornacki sharing data on dogs during the National Dog Show is everything.

With clear eyes, we face the future. Always seeking common ground, always welcoming debate, and ever vigilant against manifestos like P25.

Strong words, strongly spoken. Thank you for letting your voice be heard, Congresswoman Crockett.

Vaccines are healthcare.
