Abandoning this sort of courage under fire as the #OrangeKing is considering is atrocious.
I'm attending this event, “Defend Our Democracy, Protect Your Vote Fundraiser”! Sign up now to join me!
Wondering why @chipoltle.bsky.social has a national advertising campaign about new menu option, replete with website, that restaurants won’t fulfil? Just told this is “not available” at South Windsor location… What gives? www.chipotle.com/build-your-own
No one is safe from the #OrangeJesus Gestapo.
NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Hey academia: The lesson here is those who don’t appease are lauded. Those who do are tarnished forever.
University of Michigan Regents come out squarely and publicly in defense of academic freedom against political coercion and the role of higher education and research in making America prosperous, secure ... and well ... maybe even Great? www.michigandaily.com/opinion/op-e...

The abduction of #RumeysaOzturk for a thought crime did not happen in Iran, but in Massachusetts. All because the price of eggs in November 2024 was too damn high. Shame on us all.
As the season winds down in New England, Tim Sackbauer proves we must do the hard work to make sure skiing can be, and should be for everyone.

Every word. From our a senator of an ally dating back to the Revolutionary War. Merci, #ClaudeMalhuret for speaking the truth. Je suis désolé.
After watching this, I cannot imagine #JustinTrudeau leaving the world stage. Canada, America, and the world need him, now more than ever. #tradewar
“There’s no identifiable quality that makes Mr. Hackman stand out,” Janet Maslin wrote in The New York Times in 1988. “He simply makes himself outstandingly vital and real.” #GeneHackman
