I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!

Trump's lawyers won't stop lying in court
It's past time for judges to stop giving them the benefit of the doubt.

I'm not kidding when I say you could teach an entire ethics course with this article.
Everything from character to integrity to parrhesia, from care and solidarity to the leap into faith demonstrated repeatedly by one family in the name of what's right.

Watching the “political violence has no place in America” language with interest.
I’m no historian, but our whole nation is founded on political violence. And has continued to be politically violent ever since.
Curious how “political violence” from a communication perspective shifts.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

A rambling and incoherent Trump wants to turn DC into his personal police state despite a 30-year low in crime.
He's a pathetic wannabe dictator who wants to distract you from his connection to the Epstein files, skyrocketing costs, and his weak job numbers.
Don't let him.

@riverstyxmag.bsky.social had to cancel its 50th anniversary plans due to NEA cuts. The arts will always survive times such as these, but it doesn’t mean I can’t be pissed about it in the meantime.

imo, if someone believes some races or ethnicities are genetically inferior to others, that person has revealed a weakness of mind and character that casts extreme if not irrefutable doubt on their other ideas. why would i expect them to use more rigor on, eg, housing than they do on human nature?

Can't wait for the day when all of the browsers and every other service that added "Al" to their product have to dig that shit back out of their code because the bubble burst and they lost a huge amount of their userbase when they thought their "Spongle the Al sloth" chatbot was a good idea.

Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."

Kristi Noem lied about this multiple times in press conferences & TV appearances. This confirms the 3 day delay was solely caused by her. It’s an absurdity that the person who leaves govt is this man & not her stupid, incompetent cosplaying ass traveling with her (alleged) lover.
