Am in Scotland RN. I am surprised @jack-e-smith.bsky.social did not note the Scots’ favorite insult for him: wee nibbly-fingered mcstuffin. They say it with a wry smile and a knowing look. And then they say: and you thought brexit was BAD! Ha!!!
BREAKING: Trump threatens tariffs on Scotland unless they immediately outlaw their national pastime of hurling insults at him.

In particular:

"Mangled apricot hellbeast"

"Clueless numpty"

"Weapons-grade plum"

"Toupeed fucktrumpet"

"Witless cocksplat"

For all you dwarf planet fans, the mystery of CERES’ origin revealed!!!
Mystery of dwarf planet Ceres' origin may finally be solved, thanks to retired NASA spacecraft
Was Ceres born in the main asteroid belt, or did it migrate there from the outer solar system?

End Family Fire.
Grief is a heavy burden. On #SurvivorsofSuicideLossDay, my heart is with those who’ve lost loved ones to suicide.

@bradybuzz.bsky.social & @endfamilyfire.org work to promote safe storage of firearms. Suicide is often impulsive, so easy access to guns turn temporary crises into permanent tragedies.
Today on #SurvivorsofSuicideLossDay, we're honoring the friends and family of those who have died by suicide. Approximately 74 people die by gun suicide every day. No one should experience the pain of losing a loved one this way. #SafeStorageSavesLives

The gun lobby’s playbook is simple: prioritize profits over lives, spread fear, and block common-sense laws. I see through their lies, and I won’t stop fighting with @bradybuzz.bsky.social to free America from gun violence.

All of this.

Also, it isn't simply campaign organizing, but authentic community organizing that focuses on places that are written off in cycle.

Horrific damage will be inflicted on many of the states that just put this incoming admin in power.

Long term victory requires earning those votes too.
We need a real organizer and machine builder. Laser focused.

Yes, fundraising is crucial, but we need someone who can build the infrastructure for resources to be deployed effectively.

I want someone with a record of knowing how to WIN with working people and preserving our values. They exist!
What are you looking for in the next DNC chairperson, that can help us win in 2026 and beyond?

Dr. Fauci is a hero who did so much good in his life. The hate spewed toward him because of Trump is emlematic of the MAGA cult mentality where regular folks just doing their jobs to try to save lives are somehow the villains. This is exactly what he is doing against all civil servants.
Why do they hate Dr. Fauci, when the worst thing he ever did was try to keep them alive?

Seems like a great idea to post questions as @nicollewallace.bsky.social suggests below and she will check and may address in on air. She is such a great interviewer. Let’s support and keep our key MSNBC talent going! Right?!?
I’m here not just because I’m not “there” anymore but because this seems like a good place. I used to love seeing people’s thoughts during my show so if any of you are watching shoot me a note with any q’s.

Listened all the way through. I like Chris Murphy. It is not as hopeless as the title sounds. Decent prescription for what Dems should do better. Messaging 101.
NEW: from me

My neo-liberal friends love to talk about the institutions and the norms. “They must hold,” I see and hear them say quite frequently.

I always do that kind of head nod in response, kind of to the side with that look of, “Well…I guess?”

Republicans have mastered the art of gaming the refs in this country. The only thing worse than the GOP's misdirection is the mainstream media's inability to ever catch on.
Trump just named to architect of Project 2025, Russ Vought, to his Cabinet. But hey, thank God mainstream media didn't just take Trump's tepid denials at face value and slap them in their headlines before the election!

Nazi sympathizer; Muslim ban zealot; 2A extremist. You know, just the kind of rational, fair minded person to put in charge of deciding what, whom (and, oh…, which political leaning) constitutes a terrorist threat.
BREAKING

Donald Trump named MAGA radio host Sebastian Gorka to serve as Deputy Assistant to the President & Senior Director for Counterterrorism
November 23, 2024 at 1:49 AM
This is what we are up against. A cabinet and key apptmts loaded with these extremists. They do not care about the rule of law. They have one fealty and it is to Trump. We have to hold the light up and make sure nobody is fooled about who they are or what they want—raw and total power.
I once had the mind-bending experience of debating the surprise guest-Seb Gorka-on gun policy on a local TV station. Even in the world of rightwing disinfo land, his unhinged extremist views on 2A & guns stood out. So I’ve watched him since. He is highly problematic.
Seb Gorka. Trump’s new National Director for Counterterrorism. God help us.

Thanks to these Members of Congress for standing up for non-profits!
Yesterday, the House of Representatives had a choice: protect nonprofits or support a harmful bill.

THANK YOU to those who chose to stand with their communities and lead with courage by voting NO on #HR9495, or the "nonprofit killer" bill. Your leadership is needed now more than ever.

I think these are all in the category of being a decent, kind human being.
I'm totally OK with being called woke. It just means that I'm showing off my green flags. Happy to follow others with green flags.

Every. Bit. Of. This.
I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.

We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.

It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.

At this point, democrats have to concentrate on stopping the ones that will do the most damage.

Forget the distraction nominees. Focus on the serious threats.

Gaetz, Gabbard and Hegseth remain the most problematic.

Oh wow. That just made my stomach drop. Yes. Succinct truth.
I read something that basically said "Had we won we would be celebrating all the improvements we would make to their lives. They won and are celebrating all the ways they're going to kill us." And it haunts me so.

That latter part seemed to be the differentiator in this election, with the winning side seeming to inexplicably lack it. Can we even call them human beings at this point?
