Our job today and tomorrow is the same as it’s always been—to be good, to be wise, to stand up for what’s right, to resist what is wrong and evil. Nothing changes that. Nothing exempts us from that. Nothing prevents us from doing that.
Probably because to Cuomo they all look the same.
I should also point out that Cuomo confused one black MSNBC host for another here as he talked about diversity being a weakness.

And when questioned on it, just pull a Republican:

"Look, I don't know, I understand there are videos and people are asking questions, lots of questions, and I think the American people demand answers."
Democrats should just start insisting that they saw very real videos of people rioting at Mar-a-Lago -- overturning golf carts, setting fire to the brunch buffet, stabbing busboys with carving knives, whatever -- and calling on Trump to send the Illinois National Guard there to restore order.

Ahh, but Trump and his auxiliaries believes it to be a “Noble Lie.” Which makes it OK.

Naw, that’s not true. Sometimes a lie is just a plain old lie. @queenofthinair.bsky.social
Every word he says here is a lie. Every single word. But way too many people don’t care that he lies as he breathes. That’s a really bad thing that people don’t care. A people who do not care about being lied to like this deserve the tyranny they live under.

I’ve been away for a while. I hear that Bluesky is blowing up over something Ezra Klein said or did. C’mon people. This is Bluesky not Twitter. Keep it civil or go back to X.

I am afraid I have fallen down the rabbit hole of moral philosophy in my new class on Leadership Ethics. I have read the preface and first two sections of Kant’s Gounding for the Metaphyics of Morals at least 10 times in the past week. @queenofthinair.bsky.social

I can hear the conversation now: “Be all that you can be, the recruiter said. The guard will teach you a skill, the recruiter said. If you do deploy it will be right here at home where you will be helping people, the recruiter said.”
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
National Guard is now tasked with picking up garbage in DC

It’s important to see that Trump didn’t have to push these people too hard to become fully fascist thugs.

You should be mad about the FBI raiding John Bolton’s house not because you love John Bolton but because you’re opposed to Trump using the FBI to intimidate his critics

This is like saying it's counterproductive for coaches to yell at their own players
It is so freaking counterproductive to yell at Dems every time the Republicans do shitty stuff.
Not a word about this from Democratic leaders today

I desperately hope anyone in command is proactively thinking about how to protect their people from moral injury.

Well, it’s a well known fact that MTG keeps Arby’s sandwiches in her pants. How else would she keep them warm all day?
Right-wing activist Laura Loomer had a disastrous deposition in her lawsuit against HBO's Bill Maher.

Among the mishaps: Loomer tries to evade a question by claiming MTG keeps Arby's sandwiches in her pants.
