Why the fuck are we letting this asshole drag us into a war with Venezuela? Is anybody in that entire party home mentally? Are you guys okay? Do you guys ever have anything in the news that you want to respond to when this dipshit is doing stupid shit? Hello? Is anybody home?

Democrats now have a huge opening to go on the offensive. Between the RFK vaccine disaster, the Homan bribe, Trump's nakedly corrupt DM to Bondi, and Brendan Carr breaking the law, they should turn on the firehose. As should the press.

Doomers will be blocked. TY for your attention to this matter.

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries.

When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom.

I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.
weird that neither of these articles two main stories decrying censorship mention WaPo's firing of @karenattiah.bsky.social I guess democracy really does die in darkness

“well this is certainly a bold departure from political norms!” as they are marched to the gulag
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

If Democratic politicians do not fight this because it's a "distraction," it will simply happen. They need to get in front of every mic and say that we will not allow Trump to destroy American history. He wants a culture war? GIVE HIM ONE. There are no distractions. Have every fight.

New poll!
Mamdani 44
Cuomo 25
Sliwa 12
Adams 7

Pretty great news, and this is not the main takeaway, but do pause a moment to consider exactly how thoroughly you have to screw up to be the incumbent mayor of New York City and poll at 7 percent. patch.com/new-york/was...

He has now passed the all-important "Is your bagel order basically normal or are you a freak?" NYC candidate test.

(Also, not an accident, I think, that he did this in one of the least Mamdani-friendly nabes in Manhattan. Sends a good message that he is not conceding a single part of the city.)
Quick stop at Bagel Shop (yes, that’s the name of the store) on the Upper East Side this morning.

The order, as always: poppy seed bagel with scallion cream cheese.

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on.

It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

It will never be comprehensible or forgivable that the man who incited a deadly insurrection and attack on our Capitol was able to run again and retake the levers of power.

Yes. Expose the incompetence.
Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

As I said, they’re going step by step. A mayor now. Labor activists a few days ago. And we’re only a few months in.

The answer is not retreat, but further commitment to the fight. Or they will keep taking more.
They're arresting judges. It won't be long before they start arresting politicians, journalists, & educators.

Every single time any institution & leader that has backed down has led to this. Compliance won't protect you: it leads to worse.

We need them to stand up. And we need to show them how.
