Same here. Some days it is like an out of body experience, events are so hard to process. And yet, here we are. History will not be kind to any of them.
No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

There is a reason why Witkoff did not want any officials with the State Dept or anyone else present during his many meetings w/Putin - he didn’t want witnesses to his treasonous behavior. Highly unusual, but makes perfect sense when you consider that he only cared about Russia.

The world may be quite turbulent at the moment, but I think we can all take at least some solace in the fact that libraries, cafés, bookstores, bakeries, museums, and Oxford commas exist.

This is outrageous, but I am not surprised at all. My family was discussing book bans and libraries just last night, so I will pass this on to them. @juddlegum.bsky.social thank you for your great reporting.
1. In Tennessee, public libraries have closed for up to a week to facilitate a Trump-inspired book purge.
Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett (R) has ordered most of the state's public librarians to remove children's books with LGBTQ characters or themes.

It makes me laugh to see @sbg1.bsky.social & @peterbakernyt.bsky.social on @11thhourmsnow.bsky.social with @stephruhle.bsky.social at the same time. Do they meet in the kitchen to go over how they looked and sounded? Are they in rooms right next to each other? (She’s ok, he pisses me off so much.)

To recap:
•Universal healthcare would save 68,000 lives & $450B annually
•Every $1 spent on SNAP results in $1.80 boost to local economies & small businesses
•The child tax credit decreased child poverty to a historic low of 5.2%, abolishing it increased it by 45%

ALL THIS!! #nokings was HUGE! There were PLENTY of young people at the rallies and protests. They are at @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social actions across the US, but no there’s coverage from legacy media except to disparage the protesters.
The regime has been enabled by mainstream media from day one.

If there's one thing the mainstream news media love to overlook, it's the impact of the mainstream news media. The petite Tea Party in all its elite-backed astroturfiness was hailed like a sacred comet; the historically huge No Kings was played down by the NY Times, among other publications.

Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
