While you were over here trying to figure out how you were going to cover the rent and food—this guy was over there using $5.1 million in taxpayer money YOU paid into the system to cover these statues in 23 karat gold. Yeah, he did that.

The Williamsburg needs to be renamed the Sonny Rollins Bridge.

Wow.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

My full statement on Trump’s unconstitutional military operations in Venezuela:

Bari Weiss is really bad at her job, until you realize it's her job to be really bad at her job, in which case she is excellent at her job

This is the ultimate “bring back a past I’m nostalgic for without recreating any of the material conditions that made that possible.” Peak MAGA brain.

People are constantly asking me — what can I do? Between now and the 2026 midterm elections, here are five practical steps you can take to make a difference.

Happy Yaz’s birthday to everyone especially @joshwilker.bsky.social

Stand For the things you know are right It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight Stand

The reason civil rights activists called their marches and protests “demonstrations” was because they were staged to demonstrate the evils of discrimination and anti-democratic rule. It’s an essential step in effecting change.

Ossoff: This is what happens when you have Fox News personalities cosplaying as government officials.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

One columnist, a professional pundit, is living in a paranoid delusion. The other, a sociologist, is living in America.

I know people will take advantage of the Q&A to mock him, I’d recommend getting creative at the book signing. They’re at the end of the event; the author is a little tired and off guard. “And who should I make this out to?” “Go fuck yourself. G-O F-U-C-…”

Even if you agree with Schumer that voting for cloture was the lesser of two evils, he handled this with such total ineptitude, in a way that could not have angered and demoralized Democratic voters more if it had been designed to, that it's impossible to justify his leadership role.>

With his permission, I'm sharing Dean Treanor's response to Ed Martin's letter:

Next thing you know, Trump will expect Jews to stop saying negative things about Hitler.

Veep and President relaxing together after the press conference

UC Berkeley Chancellor Rich Lyons responds to recent changes in federal policies and funding. Watch the full video on Berkeley News. news.berkeley.edu/2025/02/28/a...

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

That press conference was choreographed for an audience of one and he sits in Moscow. Once, we fought tyrants. Today Trump and Vance are bending America’s knee. And that weakens us.

you're free to cover whatever topic you wish, as long as it's the topic I want. that topic? freedom

"...genuine esprit de corps on display here, there's delight in hearing 2 fine musicians spend an enjoyable hour in the studio strutting their stuff." - Troy Dostert, All About Jazz @wallmann.bsky.social @shiftingparadigm.bsky.social @allaboutjazz.bsky.social www.allaboutjazz.com/holding-spac...

Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power. (2/2)

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community. No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality. Hate has no home here.

I know I’m not the first to notice but @wired.com is turning out to be indispensable at this moment.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson has formally dismissed the case of Jan. 6 defendant DJ Rodriguez, who drove a taser into the neck of MPD officer Michael Fanone and had been sentenced to 12 years in prison "Michael Fanone's heroism will never be moot," she says. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

No foreign power has ever posed as massive and immediate a threat to the United States as the current administration.

I'm no graphic designer but I think this does the trick, sending 100 copies of this to my local print shop tomorrow morning and putting them in my backpack docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Saying goodbye to Dr. King. I climbed a pole for a better view. Remember that truth and light can't die. It lives inside y'all, and they can't take it away.

It all feels like a family with a genuinely abusive family member choosing to just carry on with the holiday traditions, hoping to create normalcy through sheer will and denial.

We know Donald Trump will betray his promise to working people. He’s done it before and he’ll do it again. Democrats are the ones fighting for working people against the billionaires trying to rig this country. It’s our job to make sure voters hear this message everywhere.

Also: “This country is not ready for motor carriages. You can’t breath at above horse speed”

Elon Musk and Pete Hesgeth are the kind of tough alpha males that America needs, according to their mommies

Pretty much 🤷🏻

I have covered both Musk and Alex a lot, and only one of them is a useful idiot for Putin and also a heinous person. The other is a patriot who did his job with distinction and is a very good man. Guess which is which: thehill.com/policy/techn...

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.
