A good example and a horrible warning.

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.
The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

Today's official crowd count estimate from #NoKings coalition:

7 million people turned out nationwide

That's 2 million more than the #NoKings peaceful protests in June

this is a tacit admission that the administration is not confident in the legal arguments it would have to make in order to detain them, which should also cast into question the legality of the operation in the first place
Those men are super dangerous drug smuggling terrorists, which is why . . . we are letting them go.

This is likely for the No Kings protest at the Capital.
Love seeing bands at the protests. More of this!
Happy No Kings Day! ATL is in the house! #nokings

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

the declaration of independence is cringe.

so is the gettysburg address.

FDR’s four freedoms: also cringe.

ditto king’s “dream” speech.

ditto LBJ declaring, as president, “we shall overcome”

cringe, for lack of a better word, is good.

irony is a luxury. it’s a reflection of decadence.
After 2024, pundits brushed off the Resistance as cringe. I submit: Yes, it was. And cringe is good. Cringe, in fact, will save democracy.
Resistance Is Cringe
But it’s also effective.

This reminded me of how, before it was announced, the Segway was supposed to be the greatest invention in human history that would fundamentally change what it meant to be a person.
Seems to me like "revolutionary" is a label which should be applied retrospectively and not in the moment of its supposed revolution

Many "revolutionary" inventions fail to live up to the hype, many inventions not hailed as revolutionary wind up being revolutionary in hindsight.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

This isn't the bumbling, directionless Trump first term. This time, they are implementing a plan to let Trump and his people rule forever.

But it's not too late to stop them.

i do firmly believe in the end, we will win, but the dread and the loss of watching this nightmare unfold is really something. These assholes are undermining everything we've taken for granted as a democratic and open society (however imperfect) with such vile hubris
SCOTUS killing VRA would really be the culmination of a Second Redemption

I feel like Ben Gvir personally being in the room when Greta Thunberg was being tortured should be bigger news
I don't think I know anyone in #Georgia here, but hoping this will help get this info out there. This can have an impact in sustainable power generation for Georgia and beyond.

This is good to hear. The good work done before - a lot already undone - did not go far enough. This can be an opportunity to build something much better.
Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

i was surprised to learn that bc most protein powders are considered dietary supplements, they basically fall into a regulatory grey area

there's no federal limit on the amount of lead they can contain and neither manufacturers nor the FDA have to prove these products are safe before they're sold

an incontestable fact of the second trump administration is it is actively trying to sicken and kill as many americans as it can
NEW: @CDCgov hit hard by massive firings that several staff describe to me as a “bloodbath.”
Among those RIFd:

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
