I can't help but notice that the person who actually arrested Mayor Ras Baraka wasn't ICE. It was HSI, the same folks who dragged that woman and her daughters out of their home in Oklahoma. For a group no one has heard of, they are awfully visible lately.

Can someone like @kenmartin.bsky.social please explain to me why @jamestalarico.bsky.social is not on a speaking tour of every red and swing state in this country? I haven't seen a single person destroy MAGA as consistently and elegantly as Talarico's speeches.

Good Night World

Am I doing the Lorna Murray Bonnet look right? #hatofthesummer

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

Why is James Talarico not representing the Dems on a national platform? He is so clearly the real deal.

A picture paints a 1000 words! Our heroes of pro-democracy! #MomSky

The number of comments I'm seeing unconcerned about the erosion of due process is insane. It's not about coddling bad guys. It exists to protect all of us from government over reach and abuse. You'd think the Gadsden flag crowd would get that. Let due process go, and good luck keeping your guns.

Why is DHS spokesmodel Kristi Noem posing in front of Salvadoran MS13 gang members? Where are the people our government sent down there? Where are the deportees?

I think about this film a lot lately. youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4?...

Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

DOGE isn't just cutting vital government services. Each federal job loss could also result in the loss of at least one additional worker in the private sector. Working people having less money in their pockets to spend stifles local economies. What’s “efficient” about that?

If they won't lift em up We will SGT Melvin Morris. Single handedly advanced on enemy positions and despite being shot three times evacuated multiple wounded to safety. Thank you SGT Morris

I think all these protests at all the different agencies as well as every other issue are too spread out. They all should be in Lafayette Park all day every day until it out grows Lafayette and moves to the mall. Every group / issue united.

“In some cases, photos seemed to be flagged for removal simply because their file included the word ”gay,” including service members with that last name and an image of the B-29 aircraft Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II.”

Kaine: "You can talk about sending education back to the states. Yeah, that's where we were before Brown v. Board of Education. The states got to decide, and the states made a hell of a lot of decisions that were really awful."

For the rest of my life, I will never understand how a country full of people busting their asses, working paycheck to paycheck, allow the fucking richest guy on Earth to call them "parasites" while calling the Social Security we contributed to our entire lives "a Ponzi scheme." Un-fucking-real.

Tariffs are the new infrastructure week

So, the "Screw USAID we need to care for our own like the veterans" crowd is so quiet lately. Nothing to say about DOGE laying off veterans by the thousands while simultaneously cutting VA services? How odd.

I watched about 35 seconds. Can't do it.

Democratic lawmakers are expected to communicate their opposition to Donald Trump during the president’s joint address to Congress on Tuesday night by color-coordinating.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

CO-SIGN!!!

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

I've really struggled to understand how the DOGE team came up with such a stupidly ham-handed and damaging method for making cuts. I think I just figured it out.

I just can't with this nonsense. He's getting rid of EB5 visas, which are for people investing and creating jobs with specific set-asides for people investing in distressed communities and just replacing it with a cover charge for very rich people. Everything they do is stupid and unhelpful.

The only minority destroying America is the billionaires. Here in Texas, a group of billionaires are trying to dismantle our public schools with a private school voucher scam. If they want to close our schools, Texans have 4 words for them: Come and Take It.

@msnbc.com please explain why @joyannreid.bsky.social show is going off the air? She's the best show you've got. #weneedjoy

I hope he runs for governor

Just here to remind everyone that Luigi Mangione was charged with murder as an act of terrorism and Dylan Roof was not.

This is the most encouraging thing I've seen in weeks.

Greg Abbott calls his voucher scam “school choice.” But we already have school choice—neighborhood schools, charters, magnets, academies & more. Vouchers don’t give us choice. Vouchers give our tax dollars to unaccountable private schools that can discriminate against our kids.

Pete Hegseth isn’t DEI. Daniel Penny isn’t DEI. That’s not what DEI is. They’re just grossly unqualified for their jobs and add no value that any replacement legacy job applicant wouldn’t bring. So stop saying “it’s DEI” like it’s a clever commentary on the situation. It’s not.

What in the name of Good Morning America has happened to Morning Joe? Our government is collapsing, and Mika is doing cute entertainment segments.

If you're a Democratic member of Congress and currently at home and not in DC, you need to be primaried. Walk your ass down to Treasury immediately.

@repsuhas.bsky.social voted for the Laken Riley act? I bet Boysko wouldn't have done that crap.
