The Rubio speech is incoherent and hypocritical. He denounces Soviet communism, the threat and division it sowed in Europe, yet has absolutely nothing to say about Ru's current attempt to restore restore the Soviet empire by re-invading and re-subordinating swaths of Europe. What's worse,...

So many more people gonna see this now

Ida Tarbell investigated the powerful, so that Katherine Graham could build a powerful media institution, so that Bari Weiss could destroy one. 🤡 @60minutes.bsky.social

It is tragic to see what figures like Mamdani are doing to a once great Democratic Party. by Andrew Cuomo, Larry Summers, Alan Dershowitz, Bob Menendez, and Rod Blagojevich

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

When the visual doesn’t match the chryron- or when the facts on the ground undermine your propaganda 😝

🔥 @mehdirhasan.bsky.social : “The great irony is Trump is the son of an immigrant, grandson of an immigrant, married to an immigrant… in fact, 2 of his 3 wives were immigrants— proving yet again immigrants will do the jobs even Americans aren’t willing to do.” 😬🙃

Wise.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Police who keep their identities secret are, quite literally, secret police. I don’t know why this is even controversial. You don’t get to yank people off the streets while hiding your face and identity and still retain the respectability of an accountable, democratic police force.

Trade letter for the Heard and McDonald Islands just dropped.

A recurring conversion among my friends is the horrifying collapse of U.S. based journalism’s willingness to explain and defend against the rise of autocracy here. Mike Brock perfectly explains why I’ve turned off the auto-renewal of my NYT subscription. I will not fund enablers of lawlessness.

Hey @dodai.bsky.social, maybe try just reporting on actual news instead of manufacturing it. I didn’t believe I was paying a premium subscription to The….National Enquirer. JFC 🤡 🎪

Hands down the smartest media platform today. In an era when opportunists of all stripes cave and compromise, thank you for standing tall and shining the light. Your fearless journalism is surely a path of of this mess.

Yes, they do now know his name.

James: His critics said that he should wait his turn. His critics said that he did not have the experience. His critics said they did not have the right name. Well, now all of them know his god damn name.

This is how you win. 💜 🇺🇸

I’m inspired by the words of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, the winner of last night’s mayoral primary election in New York City. Our system may be under attack by Big Money and demagogues, but let his victory serve as a reminder that power belongs to the people.

Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

lmaoo never gets old

Before our Free Andry fundraiser this Friday in DC, we’re going to get loud and mad on the steps of the Supreme Court at 5PM with @votesaveamerica.crooked.com. This injustice is an attack on the entire LGBTQ+ community and the right to seek refuge. Learn more: www.mobilize.us/vsa/event/79...

Putin has no ideology; he is, in fact, an intellectually unsophisticated person. His entire political worldview rests on two very simple narratives. 1/9

For those who tire of the interminable debates about whether Dems should tack to the center or to the left, @repcasar.bsky.social consistently models how progressives can advocate for kitchen table issues and neuter culture war distractions. He doesn’t write ‘strongly worded letters’; he calls BS.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

“Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

Fantastic piece from @dahlialithwick.bsky.social on the tide finally starting to turn: "But what really matters—what is measurable and knowable now in a way that was not a few weeks ago—is that standing up to Trump is going to be worth it." slate.com/news-and-pol...
