A nuisance when it counts, an advocate for women and girls, semi-professional busybody, recovering resident of Florida. Woke is my factory setting. Also a fan of government transparency and accountability. Call me a dreamer. No DMs. Really,none.

There is something up at Logan airport (Boston). My flight was held on the ground awaiting a gate for 70 minutes, and I just talked to two other travelers from other destinations with the same story. A friend who arrived yesterday had the same experience. Sure wish Pete was still in charge.

I haven’t wanted to pile on the Fetterman thing, but f**k that guy. You can’t vote to restrain FOTUS’ blithely going to war for no reason? Shameful.

How can you help? Repost. We don't need money. We need channels to get our message out -- including BlueSky. So the easiest thing to do is repost this message (which includes a Starter Pack, including us, as well as groups similar to us). go.bsky.app/RXFLYri

Could somebody, anybody but preferably a mainstream reporter, put a microphone in Susan Collins’ face and ask her if she thinks Graham Platner has learned his lesson?? IYKYK

Is anyone an expert on Senate rules? If, for example, we were to be so fortunate (and hard-working) as to flip the Senate, would the new Majority Leader be required to seat an elected Senator who had, just spitballing, been credibly accused of multiple crimes?

On the same day that the Justice Department created a slush fund for the President, the NYTimes is concerned that the Secretary of Defense has breached decorum. Understatement of the week--but it's only Monday

His little heart, indeed

Our president talks about "bombing our little hearts out." He & his family aren't in harms way. Their homes won't be destroyed. He loves the raw power of being "commander-in-chief." But a true commander values the lives entrusted to his service as much as his own. That is not this man.

The SAVE Act is awful--straight up voter suppression aimed largely at women. I get the outrage. But it has NO path in the Senate. So make a call to register your disgust, but don't lose focus on ICE, Epstein, and all the other ways in which this administration is horrible.

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.** He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Epstein survivors released a powerful Super Bowl ad demanding justice from a Justice Department that has failed them for years. The crimes were real. The harm was real. The silence is deliberate. Survivors deserve answers, not cover-ups. Watch it. Share it. Demand justice.

David Brooks is leaving the @nytimes.com and heading to New Haven to do. . .things. Honestly, couldn't get through the whole explanation. Couple of thoughts: 1) Yale never fails to disappoint 2) The Epstein Files must be wiiiiild. Others??

Folks are upset at the silence from GW Bush on the latest FOTUS atrocities, but honestly, if being a dick at a funeral is his highest form of resistance, it's more than I ever expected from him.

How I know Black people know white people better than we know ourselves: Black people said we would set our privileges on fire rather than extend them to everyone. Now we have evidence. In 2024, white folks voted away our privilege of not being shot by the government. Equity woulda been easier.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

From my brief foray into elective politics, a couple of thoughts: 1) You can disagree with this poll or that poll, question the methodology, pounce on the crosstabs. Knock yourself out. 2) But if you can't come up with a credible poll that shows you aren't losing, you're toast.

The elaborately (and crookedly) financed political machine that surrounds FOTUS is 💯 polling, weekly, maybe daily. That they don't release their polling, or even leak it, tells you everything you need to know.

The world learned today that you absolutely have to bully this dumb old asshole as a collective. Better late than never for them, but we better get used to being aggressively humiliated for the next few years.

Sure. Hold the Clintons in contempt. Right after the Republicans who blew off Jan 6 subpoenas face the same thing. The system rewards defiance if you have enough political cover. Republicans learned it under trump; ignore subpoenas, stall in court, run out the clock. It works. #EqualJustice

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."
