Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences.

The modern American right in 2025, folks.

When we say we want Democrats in the fight—this is it.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social hit the Senate floor blasting Trump for selling out U.S. security for billion-dollar bribes and a private jet.

Then he took to the airwaves, not to sell a book, but to sound the alarm and call us to action.

It's a fantastic book - download it - buy it - or just borrow it and read it. The Dust Bowl Triolgy are worth the effort.

The best way to keep high schoolers abstinent is to have them watch old episodes of Real Sex on HBO.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.

If you’re stupid enough to think that you can build automobile plants within 6-12 months there’s no point in asking you what you’ll do with them when you find out that most of the material you need to build cars still comes from countries that are being heavily tariffed.

Many are saying that it sucks to be Elise Stefanik today. I’d argue that it sucks to be Elise Stefanik every day.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Just a reminder that America will in fact crush fascism.

It will take a while and it will be messy.
But bet on it.

This is an example of how nostalgia for the old days is simply nostalgia for when you were younger.

The idea that America was a post-racial society in the 1970s/1980s only makes sense if you were literally a child at that time and couldn’t observe what any adult was experiencing.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Been reading a little mythology and it seems like one of the main cross-cultural themes is, “do not, under any circumstances, get on a boat.”

If my greatest contribution to society is to be the medical frontline - correcting RFK’s nonsense at every step - then I will do it.

For the vast majority, measles vaccination confers lifelong protection.

This isn’t complicated or debated.

Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show:

They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirt—“Let’s see where it’s made.”

Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag…

Made in Nicaragua.

They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee.

Legendary.

Per @jbendery.bsky.social:

“Public health experts and web developers have teamed up to create a new website, RestoredCDC.org, to restore public health data that was on the CDC's website pre-Trump -- before his anti-science, anti-diversity purge of data.”
