Remember everyone, that the Left are the snowflakes who want their safe spaces, protected from ideas that "trigger" them, while the Right are the bold alpha males who want us all to engage with their tremendous analysis and rhetoric.

🚨BREAKING: Arizona’s 7th District is certified — Adelita Grijalva is now U.S. Rep. Mike Johnson’s last excuse is gone. No more lies. No more delays. Swear her in NOW so she can do her job. They can delay, lie, and hide—but the Epstein files aren’t going anywhere. The cover-up is cracking.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

A huge landmark in journalism history seems to have come to pass a while ago: when @hcrichardson.bsky.social outstripped the Washington Post in online readership. An old world is dying, a new world is being born [Jeff Bezos is a monster].

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

The Washington Post Is Running Out Of Readers Willing To Pay

Once a titan of American journalism, The Washington Post now struggles to reach even 100,000 print subscribers most days.

It's just more projection, anyway. They pay their "protesters," so they assume we pay ours.

EMpire 3-2012 was the number in my first home, in the 1950s

(anybody remember when they stopped bothering to use “exchanges” and just went all-numbers?)

Not to my knowledge, but I only socialized with Weir and Lesh for a few years in the early ‘80s so I don’t really know what they did with themselves otherwise.

Any police officer who vows to quit depending on the results of an election is openly admitting that they are partisan, that they swore an oath but it was conditional, and that they believe the work they do as law enforcement is tied to a particular political party.

All of these are damning.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Sally Jenkins @sallyjenx.bsky.social · 2d

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Attention San Francisco Bay Area: Don’t let today’s sunshine fool you. Monday is going to be the stormiest day since last winter, with thunderstorms capable of generating rainfall rates up to a half inch per hour. Afternoon looks wettest. Clear your gutters and drains in the meantime! #CAwx

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

I was in Chicago.
There is no violence except by ICE & Border patrol.
People are just going about their business of living.
Trumps’ bullshit about Chicago is pure fiction.
Stay strong Chicago. You have a lovely city & we plan on returning!

They will never accept responsibility for what they do wrong(and it’s a lot in this administration), it’s always someone else‘s fault, always. However, when something goes well that they have nothing to do with, they take the credit, don’t they? They are incompetent and vindictive liars.

The Trump administration wants us to believe that they are all-powerful forces who control everything and can be reined in by neither Congress nor the Supreme Court, but if anything goes wrong, it's Mastermind Chuck Schumer's fault.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision
