Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

"yes we care for free" ❤️💯🫶🏼 thank you @moryan.bsky.social
We've been raised in a culture that tells us self interest is all. Every person is out only for themselves &their cronies. What we're seeing now is that a lot of us resisted that programming. Some can't quite believe that's what it is--that we just fucking CARE. yes we care for free u creepy freaks!

I wonder how much you’d have to pay someone to get them to go stand in Minneapolis, in January, and get shot in the face with pepper spray? You think minimum wage would do it? Do they have to fill out a 1099? Or is there someone just walking around with a bag of cash?

All these Republicans talking about paid protesters has me wondering one thing: How many paid protestors do Republicans have? Because I’ve never heard of a protester being paid, but they sure keep talking about it.

Shapiro: J.D. Vance is profoundly and pathetically a weak human being, and he does whatever he thinks his boss wants him to do.

What we need right now is not idiotic gaslighting from the sitting VP

He should be ashamed of himself—and he’s not. I think that speaks to the weakness of his character.

If, or goddess forbid when, what happened to Renee Good happens to your neighbor, friend, coworker, family member, or to you - you now know exactly how much justice and compassion Noem, Vance, and the whole regime will extend to those who survive. Any of us can be next.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…

Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered? you have to hear this.
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?

Sickening, and 100% true.
We have an administration that takes absolute glee out of murdering people. No safety, no good policy, no peace can come from people who go out of their way to cause this much harm.

Abusive people make abusive policies and engage in abusive practices. I wish more people had a lens on that.

Bill Kristol nails it: "... this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets."
If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

holy carp, Howard Lutnick misrepresenting on Face the Nation that *countries* are *paying* tariffs - so confident that we are too stupid to understand *tariffs are taxes* on US, American consumers. And Margaret Brennan just lets it slide 🤦🏼‍♀️

It's almost as if other nations don't conduct diplomacy via social media, and therefore may not have seen his petulant, childish, ranting posts about a ceasefire that never was agreed upon - he thinks being a bully is statecraft...he's never learned because no one has ever held him accountable

Marco Rubio on Meet the Press sounds over emotional and deranged. Whenever anyone in the trump administration says "it's simple"/"it's very simple" = gaslighting on steroids. War and foreign policy ARE. NOT. SIMPLE. They're just telling us we're simpletons. 😡
