We should reboot journalism completely. Start from scratch. They should get those old timey hats and a pencil and figure it out from there

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

As our nonprofits and foundations are beng hit hard, maintaining hope can be difficult - but also a lesson in the power of resilience. Extremely grateful for this week's webinars from Campaign for Grade-Level Reading and @annieecaseyfdn.bsky.social and every person in the trenches for our kids.

This is your occasional reminder that, contra the BS narrative that Trump is isolationist, his administration cares deeply about the domestic politics of other countries. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

While registering for this I had to agree to “not engage with counter-protestors”. …..In related news, we’re about to see how much I’ve grown in the “maturity and self-restraint” department.

I said it before & I'll say it again.

All of those 'DEI' brands should have sued Target for breach of contract & detrimental reliance. The reason why the decided to place their products w/Target, some solely, is bcuz of its DEI program. Removing is it is a breach.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much
