There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

MSNow isn't a primary comms vector for my employer and my children's school. MSNow doesn't portray itself as "the public square" nor do institutions use it that way. Stop pretending you don't know things.

People demanding Zuck be hauled before Congress to explain why No Kings insta was suspended... how would you feel if MAGA GOP hauled MSNow execs to explain why they covered Trump the way they do? Both are editorial choices protected by the First Amendment. If this annoys you...

I'm listening to this for like the third time and he seems to be saying he's going to blackmail global bond markets into accepting a lower interest rate on US bonds or he'll impose trade embargoes of other major economies.

Trump was president when the Navy held a ceremony to announce the ship would be named after Doris Miller. Here's the Navy press release from January 2020: www.navy.mil/Press-Office... Trump 2 is far worse than Trump 1.

Dorie Miller was only allowed to work in a Navy mess due to segregation, but he leapt to work a gun when the attack happened. In sharp contrast, Donnie Trump got five medical deferments to keep from having to fight in Vietnam. The USS Bone Spurs doesn‘t really sing

Unspeakably disgraceful. Doris Miller was a mess attendant -- the only jobs open to Black sailors -- who won the Navy Cross at Pearl Harbor. With this, and reports USN leaders are considering changing the design of aircraft carriers *because Trump said so* -- the Navy is dishonoring itself.

Yes let’s name a ship after a draft dodger instead of an actual hero who served: Sounds like a great plan.

What makes this even more grotesque is that Doris Miller was denied the medal of honor when he was alive just because he was black. bsky.app/profile/carl...
