I thought my protest days were over after Vietnam, Watergate, Roe v Wade, and the women’s movement. I was wrong. But I’m tired. Love dogs and books.

If you can't stand up for a fellow journalist when she's being ridiculously bullied and demeaned for asking a basic question of a public leader, you sure as hell aren't going stand up for anything as abstract as a national principle or ethos.

American journalism is dying. And with it, our republic.

Tom Homan: "My goal is a complete drawdown and end this surge [in Minneapolis] as soon as we can. But that is largely contingent upon the end of the illegal and threatening activities against ICE in the community."

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

Reminder: Palantir sells AI tools that help law enforcement agencies like ICE analyze massive amounts of personal data. It's a big reason why it is quickly becoming the most dangerous corporation in America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_VwyhErd88

Two days ago, we discovered Trump has engaged in the most corrupt behavior of any president in history—giving secret technology to China's ally in exchange for the Trump family getting half a billion dollars.

And nobody is still talking about it. #Corruption

there's something unholy about the Trump administration being laser focused on "fraud" while Trump pardons an endless clown car of fraudsters and bilks taxpayers at every opportunity. it's just transparently absurd.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.

Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Watch closely: Donald Trump is plotting to rig the midterms.

In just the past 2 weeks, his AG demanded that Minnesota turn over voter rolls, his DNI raided 2020 election ballots in Georgia, & he called to 'nationalize' our elections.

We must mobilize to protect our democracy.

Nope. She’s lying again. He specifically said they wanted to “take over the voting in at least 15 places.” That’s not the SAVE Act. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Q: Trump said specifically Republicans should 'take over' elections in 15 states. What did he mean?

LEAVITT: With the passage of the SAVE Act, voter ID will be implemented across all 50 states. He was referring to specific states in which we've seen a high degree of fraud like California & New York

Why do people report that Trump has shut down the Kennedy Center “for two years”?
