It's amazing how quickly White politicians in the South rushed to PROVE exactly why we needed the Voting Rights Act!

We live in a time dominated by deeply unserious people making deeply unserious arguments in support of tragically serious results that serious people would have both avoided and known to avoid.

“Greenblatt deliberately tries to obfuscate 🇮🇱 & AIPAC for the Jewish people.” MICHIGAN Senate candidate Dr. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social responds to ADL attacks by calling out the disingenuous dismissal of all 🇮🇱 criticism as “antisemitism”, which ultimately puts Jews everywhere at risk.

Wow did something happen in the US in January 2025?

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Smart policy!

I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.

I just watched Pete Hegseth’s speech. He is a dangerous unserious person with a lot of power. He is racist, misogynist, anti-LGBT, & transphobic and he can operationalize that, putting service members and our nation at risk. Theme song from Monty Python’s Flying Circus played as he left the stage.

Why the cover-up?

The long-term effects of Trump's policies are projected to translate into an 8% reduction in US GPD, a two-year loss in average life expectancy, and hundreds of thousands of deaths in the developing world annually. But at least he doesn't trip over his words the way Biden did.

he's right and he's right to say it

Before endorsing Andrew Cuomo, I sat him down for a long talk, and we agreed that any future sexual contact he has with interns will be far more consensual. by Bill Clinton

"According to our back-of-the-envelope math, that puts total attendance somewhere in the 4-6 million people range. That means roughly 1.2-1.8% of the U.S. population attended a No Kings Day event somewhere in the country yesterday."

No Kings Louisville. Many thousands.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

The benefit of cutting social programs was never about saving money. The “benefit” of cutting social programs is keeping “those” people in their place. Its about making sure lower status groups can’t move up the social hierarchy ladder and challenge the “real americans.”

Reading Theater Kid by Kefferey Seller. Memoir of the theatrical producer of Avenue Q, Rent, In the Heights, and Hamilton. Some list!

As a Louisvillian, I’m outraged.

Mainstream media needs to stop pointing out what "RFK Jr. gets right," because there are many, many trained public health officials who get the same things right without all the batshit crazy eugenics and woo.

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

Very proud to have received the Abolitionist/Ally of the Year award at the JCPS Educators of Color Award event this evening. I have always tried to incorporate my commitment to racial justice and LGBTQ justice in my policy work for the school district. So this recognition means a lot in my heart.

This made me tear up a little bit. How fucking beautiful and powerful.

An attack on women’s access to paid work.

A new report by the National Women's Law Center shows the alarming overlap of abortion deserts, broadband deserts, and pregnancy care deserts, at a time shows abortion seekers, esp in abortion-banned states, rely on internet access to order medication abortion online:

@sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social Come to Jamie Comer’s district in Kentucky. Tens of thousands of Kentuckians will join you.

He’s pulled the knife half way out of the economy’s back, but the injury (no longer a reliable trading partner) will take years to heal. #stupid

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

And DOGE is simultaneously closing Social Security offices. Fuckers hate everyday people.

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

“There are currently four people remaining over there to do the work of 15 people. The danger to the national airspace can’t be understated." "This is a very real threat to the American flying public.” EXCLUSIVE ⤵️

Bingo.

Got tickets for my oldest child and me to see Patti Smith perform Horses in Chicago in November. I am chuffed. Horses came out in 1975 when I was 13. Patti Smith is still relevant to my 25 year old art school student child in 2025.
