Newspack publisher @atavist.com inspired another @netflix.com documentary series! Congratulations to the Atavist Magazine team on a successful investigation that illuminates the realities we all need to face about social media's negative impacts on children.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

Ooo this is a good one ☺️

Trust me, bro.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Quotable Quotes: Stillness in Uncertainty Well-being of body is like a mountain. A lot happens on a mountain. It hails, and the winds come up, and it rains and snows. The sun gets very hot, clouds cross over, animals shit and piss on the mountain, and so do people. People leave their trash, and…

At this rate a US collapse is imminent. This isn’t sustainable, some states will have to choose to secede to stay afloat.

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

I think it already is. But seriously. Don’t call them names. We want the door open for them when they realize the mistake they made. We are for a better America. Not a vindictive America

Kevin Can F**k Himself: A Deep Dive into Dark Comedy At first glance, Kevin Can F**k Himself appears to be your run-of-the-mill bright lights, laugh-tracked sitcom, complete with the goofy, possibly problematic husband, Kevin, and his long-suffering, nagging wife, Allison. But here’s the twist:…

We could have had Tim.

It’s not about Trump supporters. It’s about giving the 75m people who DIDNT VOTE something to vote for Legitimate discussions on this platform offer that path

It’s important to be clear that TikTok could have stayed up through the inauguration. Joe Biden said he’d not enforce the law. They made a choice to shut down and display a pro-Trump message. They weren’t forced to.

They’re gonna rip families apart and the headlines will read “Trump saves TikTok”. I hate this place

For over 500 years colonial entities have justified genocide, repression, and subjugation by their religious (Christian) boundaries. The argument in this upcoming case is fully in line with that tradition. One more step in a long march...

@violaine.bsky.social I wanted to make sure you saw this follow up to the extremely infuriating news re:the r@p1st named Gaiman: youtu.be/0Rw7uUiuv_s?... I value this creator so much and love their take!

Two senators have introduced a constitutional amendment that would establish term limits for Supreme Court justices, a long-shot escalation of the congressional effort to overhaul the nation’s highest court amid ethics scandals and sinking public approval.

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

This man still doesn’t know what a rundown is. Neither do I.

Want something delicious? Soy Sauce, brown sugar, something sour (lime juice or rice wine vinegar), and rooster sauce to spice level -- add it to just about everything. Except tortellini. Do not be like human male partner and try to add it to tortellini and think it will work.

Adam Schiff on Matt Gaetz: "I think he's not only unqualified. He's disqualified ... the whole point with these nominees, several of them, is their unqualification, is their affirmative disqualification ... if they will confirm Matt Gaetz, they will do anything he wants."

If we didn’t believe the US was worth saving we’d simply move on and ignore you. Believe in the you that we believe you can be, not the you they are telling you to be. Being brave doesn’t mean not being afraid, it means standing up to evil and injustice even when you are afraid.

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
