This is just one of those things...

Well this is something to ponder. It's the best 'PSA' for this moment. @ellecordova.bsky.social

One of my fav Elle Cordova's ever. It's perfect in it's execution. We always say we need more of this or that to amplify. This is one of those.

What can one say...this is beyond comprehension...it is evil. The journalists represent us all. Thank you @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for amplifying this violent incident.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

A comment on Robert Hubbell's substack this morning inspired me to post there for the first time. The topic was really set in motion within me from a recent listen to a Reveal two-part episode of the inherent trauma of being a black journalist in America.

This is eloquence and I marvel at the words so carefully chosen.

In this case promoting anything he says is only promoting him, not Ukraine. That is my humble opinion as an American.

Impressive...

I am once again asking you to stop sending us money.

But we do need your time. ⏰

Lovely. @kenmartin.bsky.social I know you are an enthusiastic supporter of Mamdami. Please keep encouraging volunteers to support him.

And occasionally we need to even take breaks from each other. Never you guys. But we all only have so much heart. So much bandwidth. And so we let certain allies go and embrace others. It's nothing personal. It is healthy and demonstrates humanity.

To lose joy/humor is a symptom.

He has some great updates, but he must also specifically address the Mothership controversy. Yes he has fired all their consultants and banned PAC contributions for 2028.

Hearing more vocally from the DNC helps me amplify their work and steps already taken.

Yes and the interview with DNC Chair Ken Martin by Jess Craven in the park last week is great. I have repeatedly emailed Ken and,/or his staff since I saw him speak at a DNC event two weeks ago.

I love to employ the descriptor 'missive'.

Kudos!

Awful awful awful decision.

Almost as bad as Harvard capitulating.

Maher bent the knee to the dear leader. And now supposedly a voice that was another generation of Pakman or Parnas has bent the knee.

So goodbye to thee!

How interesting. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov have been OOO on this topic.

Hope it helps.

We caused a good ruckus on I95 from Benson to south Fayetteville on Sunday...yours truly has a cameo or two.

I don't say this lightly, but I am tired of the main NPR news acting like corporate media. It makes me sick inside so I don't listen. If through this crucible they finally find truth, then maybe that is necessary.

Again it breaks my heart. I will be helping run events on Thurs/Sun just saying.

It is something Thune wanted. I am sorry but I don't consider this a win.

Unfortunately the Big Bird Bill will pass. But just listening to apologist @steveinskeep.bsky.social today on Morning Edition, maybe it's the medicine needed.

And I am a fan of so much about NPR and local programming.
