Thank you @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social! It’s so nice to have an ex-Guardian colleague being so vocally supportive.
We desperately need more journalists, more outlets, more resource, more reporting. We’re not in competition with each other. We’re in competition with bullshit.

It has been a truly trying week here on the battle lines. A high-ranking insurgent perpetrated such vile disrespect for our great Commander-in-Chief on a comedy show, I cannot begin to describe the gruesomeness of it all, dear Martha.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

Virginia Giuffre’s brother: Calling it a hoax is a complete disgrace to everything that my sister has worked for, everything these survivors have worked for and continue to fight for… And that feels very uncompassionate coming from somebody that’s the leader of our country.
