Send me your mailing address in the chat and I'll mail you this postcard. My wife's late uncle left tons of unused old stamps. This is not just about you getting it, but about all of the postal workers who'll see it. And if you live in a super fucking Republican area, I really want to send you one!

Surviving a #measles infection doesn't always mean a return to full health. From blindness and hearing loss to immune amnesia and neurological damage, read more about the importance of preventing one of the most contagious viruses: bit.ly/3ZaBdfp #WorldMeaslesDay

1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed. Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance. My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

MEDIA ADVISORY: Congressman Al Green Calls for a Congressional Hearing Prior to the Possible DOGE Elimination of the Oversight Watchdog Created by Congress. A copy of Rep. Green’s letter is accessible here: algreen.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

“Are we focusing too much on Elon Musk? @mehdirhasan.bsky.social talks with Senator @smith.senate.gov on the threat Elon Musk poses on American democracy and if he is the one who is leading Trump’s administration. Watch the full conversation at zeteo.com/p/a-dick-a-j...

STRESS KILLS. 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, struggling every day to keep their families going.   The result: working class people die 7 years earlier than the rich. We need an economy that works for all, not just the few.

Watch the whole town hall. It’s worth it. Democrats really did Tim Walz a disservice and contributed to the collapse of our democracy. We knew Democrats in the Senate wouldn’t have the backs of the American people.

NEWS: After an emergency meeting of Indivisible groups across the country, Indivisible is officially calling on Senate Minority Leader Schumer to step down from his leadership position. indivisible.org/statements/i...

Good for you, Ma’am. You should be proud of yourself.

Did your Democratic senator betray you yesterday by voting to give Trump more power to dismantle the federal government? Let them know you’re outraged by their decision to cave to extreme GOP demands, and that they’ve got some work to do to win back your trust: indivisible.org/resource/tel...

Why are so many Democrats playing dead as Donald Trump runs roughshod over the entire country? I cover this (and more) on the latest Coffee Klatch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPj1...

Mehdi Hasan is abducted by the aliens to help them probe this week of news.

Aren’t we actually supposed to be at war and isn’t it the job of congress to declare that? Not just Chump randomly bleating about his personal quixotic vendettas? Wait, right, doormats.

Unfortunately, I will be working. I will be thinking about you all, though. Be safe.

Minor edit: [when] Chump tanks the economy. I feel better now.

Recent protest signs

“The law is repugnant – & should be repealed or struck down as unconstitutional – because it allows the government to target noncitizens based purely on their identity.” @kimwehle.bsky.social reports on the Alien Enemies Act that will allow Trump to deport noncitizens without out a due process.

Our Democratic senators need to step up and call for new leadership. Send your senators an email and urge them to publicly demand that Sen. Schumer steps aside.

Just saw a Kristi Noem commercial spending taxpayer money to promote herself and thank Trump. If we want to DOGE something how about that corrupt garbage?

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

America has never been a country where politicians have extra- or quasi-legal security "guys" around them. Trump is changing that. ICYMI @hollybfletcher.bsky.social:

Elon Musk claims "the leftists" are bad-mouthing his company. This isn't true. It's ordinary car buyers who are fed the fuck up.

"It wasn’t al Qaeda, or ISIS, or Hezbollah, or any other designated terrorist organization. It was Russia." ICYMI @alexzfinley.bsky.social on the planned terrorist attacks you may not have heard about, and the Russian threat to American lives:
