I want to take a moment to thank Drew for taking an interest in my work and putting together such an excellent profile.

Most of what I do focuses on highlighting prominent figures and their statements, so being the subject of a profile is a new experience—and a meaningful one.
New: Here's a chart of the top conservative / liberal accounts on X. See that small blue dot? That's @acyn.bsky.social. His fast-cut clips of political combat get hundreds of millions more views than major news sources - and basically no one knows who he is. So I profiled him. wapo.st/3RpEvJ7

Elon Musk's DOGE just slashed millions in congressionally mandated grants for training women in trades and STEM.

Trump said he would "PROTECT WOMEN AT A LEVEL NEVER SEEN BEFORE." Apparently, he meant from a living wage.
DOGE killed dozens of grants that supported women workers
Advocates say the cancellations, which Mother Jones is first to report, will lock women out of construction and manufacturing jobs—and may violate the law.

I like Ben. And I like MTN.
Ben Meiselas at Milken Institute: They want to hear: Why are you bullying a marginalized community? Why are you punching down at human beings? We are the United States of America—why are you treating people like this?

Pritzker: I think all of us are deeply, deeply concerned about what's happening across the country, and of course, 100 days in, it's been, well, a disastrous administration for the American people

Putting aside his belief that Garcia's knuckles LITERALLY said MS13 ... did anyone else catch the way he said "You're not being very nice?"

"Honey, stop squirming, it'll be over quickly ... you're not being very nice."
I had to upload the clip here because it's frankly insane. Possibly the most insane trump clip yet. His brain is pudding

America is not a Christian nation.

America is a nation where the rich and powerful have reduced Christianity to just another tool to exploit for their own interests at the expense of the very people Jesus called us to serve: the poor, the hungry, the sick, the stranger, and the oppressed.

Other countries have watched their democracies slip away gradually, without tanks in the streets. That may be where we’re headed—or where we already are.
