As someone who’s been a Democrat for only six weeks, I think this is such an important point. We’re either a big tent, or we aren’t. And if we are a big tent, that means progressives unite around a moderate nominee, and moderates unite around a progressive nominee. Period.👇

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

One last thing on this for the moment: Scorched Earth Conan was incredible TV for a few weeks, and Scorched Earth Conan's enemy was fucking Jay Leno. Scorched Earth Colbert should be really good TV.

I’m at the vet and they have a TV in the lobby. It has the Bob Ross channel on.
Imagine if airports and hotel lobbies all had the Bob Ross channel on instead of 24x7 news. Everyone would be chill, getting on planes and commenting on the happy little trees they fly over.

I’ve said it before, but given his starting point, Trump could have played golf for four years, done nothing of consequence, and probably retired relatively popular. He decided economic suicide and a multipronged campaign of human rights abuses would be more fun.
The extent to which Trump inherited a strong economy and has gone and wrecked each individual strength of it in record time….
Great work, everyone

“I first met Marco Rubio in a prison in Libya.”

@tommalinowski.bsky.social on how Trump's Secretary of State went from champion of dissidents to defunder of democracy programs.
Marco Rubio has abandoned his fight for freedoms
Once a stalwart defender of freedom everywhere, he has turned into another Trump sycophant.

NASA just won an Emmy for our live broadcast of the total solar eclipse last year. We produced a documentary film about the James Webb Space Telescope that's out in theaters and on Netflix. We have podcasts, we write feature stories. People wear the agency logo on t-shirts. We're still getting cut.
You hear this a lot on the left but it isn't true. USAID did not "fail to tell its story to Americans," the right targeted the agency with lies and misinformation.

Ultimately this narrative turns conservative attacks into even more calls for the left to reform.

The takeaway from the Tucker Carlson Ted Cruz interview is that the American public has been so badly cheated for so long by the people pretending to be the political media that when anyone asks a basic follow up that an 8th grade schoolpaper reporter would it feels like cutting edge journalism

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

I figure I need to explain how extreme and irresponsible is the June 7 Memorandum federalizing the National Guard and authorizing regular armed forces.

Those saying anything in support of this action may not realize what they’ve gotten into.

(It will also escalate from here.)
