I am so ready for this election to be over - Vote straight ticket Blue!
The 1 thing I’m going to miss is that any time Ciattarelli’s closing ad comes on I say out loud “Go F*ck Yourself” to the professional candidate
We all have our own coping mechanisms 🤷🏼♂️

@joyannreid.bsky.social so frustrating to see your last ReidOut @ MSNBC. Whatever you do next, I hope you won’t stay quiet. (I’d put good money down you’ll come through). We need your voice out there, especially during upcoming election cycles. I hope you land somewhere that makes your heart happy 💖

"Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.”
Amen!!

Thank you to @jackschlossberg.bsky.social and Ambassador Kennedy for speaking out when they could have maintained their family’s privacy. I hope the Senate will take these words to heart and reject this highly unqualified nominee.

This has really summed up how I feel as a recovering news junkie. It’s worth the read
For @slate.bsky.social I wrote about why I'm suddenly scared to read the news (even though writing it used to be my full-time job).
But this piece is also about how we might reevaluate for the better our relationship to news — and to the act of living — under Trump 2.0 slate.com/life/2025/01...

Millions of People Have a Controversial Approach to the News Right Now. Don’t Feel Guilty If You’re One of Them.
If 2016 taught us anything, it’s that outrage isn’t enough. It's time for a different tactic—one that might not involve the news.
