Had no idea there was so much descriptive profanity in the English language. Sufficient for 2017 but now inadequate to meet the moment. Proud Mom, grandmom, retired R.N.. Keeping a stiff upper lip is becoming a heavy lift. We do not need Faux King Trump

We need to redo our hiring requirements and pre-employment questionnaires. How have we hired such terrible, corrupt, greedy people to run our country?

The threat is real and Musk is toxic. Light him up.

Democrats need to run hard against Elon Musk. They need to warn the public that the world's richest man is spending $276 million to attempt a hostile takeover of our government.

After another shooting and the raid on Ilhan Omar's home, Rep. Delia Ramirez says abolishing ICE isn't enough. She has introduced a bill to "dismantle" the entire Department of Homeland Security.

I completely agree. The execution and the raid on Omar’s house are meant to scare people into submission, & broadcast dominance. I discussed this on my Friday morning podcast. I also agree that it’s making people angry. It will backfire. m.youtube.com/watch?v=9wUY...

It didn't occur to me, but I think that Joanne and @hcrichardson.bsky.social are right that scaring people is part of it. The search of Ilhan Omar's house is also intended to scare. But I think they are making people angry more than they are scaring them.

A tiny bit of gentle advice for the men: before you try to explain or pontificate anything about the Cornell 7 to a woman, please remember chances are she’s already an expert 🙏🏻

If they deserve to be impeached — and so many of them do — then the House should impeach them. Maybe the Senate won‘t convict but it’s still worth the effort to remind people that laws still exist and that Democrats still defend it. Also, as noted here, make ‘em sweat.

ceej@ceej.online

impeach them all. fuck em. why should they get to fly around on our dime and hurt people? “they’ll never actually removed from office” who gives a shit? I want them miserable every day for the rest of the term. I hope they have nightmares. air their dirty laundry. make em sweat

If they truly believed in the fourth estate, if they truly believed what they do is pivotal to our democratic republic, every fucking last one of the reporters presently listening to the propaganda I'm seeing on C Span would walk the fuck out of the oval.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com What does the humanitarian crisis in Sudan look like on the ground? “Let me tell you about a very bright 13-year-old girl who asked not to be named, because then she might be killed along with her parents,” our columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social writes.

nyti.msOpinion | Biden and Trump Called It a Genocide and Then Turned AwayWe know how to stop the atrocities in Sudan. There’s just too little interest in doing so.

A third of today's Americans are too young to have any memory of 9/11. For them, the 9/11 Memorial is making a new digital learning experience available starting tomorrow. We said we'd never forget—and part of that charge is making sure the next generation remembers too. 911memorial.org/DLE

Not a fan of Hasan Piker but he's a guy who streams monologues to a small audience. Elon spends hundreds of millions of dollars trying to get Republicans elected and was for weeks the second most powerful member of the federal government, but oddly Republicans are rarely grilled about his views

Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social

Maybe some of those "why are you campaigning with an antisemite?" questions could go to Republicans backed by a Sieg Heiling white nationalist. The silence is especially deafening because Musk's involvement helped Republicans lose in WI in 2025, so the press even has its preferred horserace frame.

Bill Maher doesn’t grasp the concept of “beloved entertainer.” “But I’m too edgy to be beloved” George Carlin was edgy. So was Richard Pryor. They were beloved and deeply mourned. You’re just a dick, Bill. Only assholes will be sorry when you’re gone.
