A tale of two scandalous Justice Department firings, and how WaPo covered each. Which is to say: today, not at all. Democracy dies in broad daylight.

In 2004, I interviewed for a teaching position. The principal asked me how many kids I had. I answered. He asked if I was planning to have more —said he couldn’t afford to have another teacher out on maternity leave.

This is why women need protections, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

With so much abject capitulation to Trump by rich, scared men, it’s affirming and a high honor to highlight when women have stood up firmly against him this week. My write-up on three such women: https://buff.ly/4avog60

TV once shaped elections, but we are now in a new Digital Media age—and, as Tristan Snell explains, that's a major reason Trump won in 2024. In a guest piece for The Big Picture, Snell unpacks how the digital media revolution reshaped politics and why Democrats must evolve to succeed moving forward.

I never understood folks who believed Trump somehow would be better for peace or the cause of the Palestinians. This is a destabilizing move and an invitation to Bibi to go full force.

US women in 2025:

Get long acting birth control, don’t delay the divorce, make sure your finances are in order and you have cash on hand, make a “go bag”, make a list of trusted contacts, make sure your passports and IDs are up to date. What else?

Trump has NEVER CARED about protecting people, and we're supposed to believe he moved the inauguration indoors because it will be a few degrees colder than during Obama's 2009 inauguration?

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here

THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.

You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

Which is more powerful?

I’m sorry but the fact that Congress is about to throw immigrants under the bus at the very same time that countless immigrants in California are risking their lives to protect neighborhoods many of them could never aspire live in is breaking my brain in a whole new way.
