Some [concerning] media + antitrust news: If this bid is successful, CNN will fall in the hands of the same Republican megadonor who took over CBS, silenced Stephen Colbert, and empowered Bari Weiss. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/08/b...

The Supreme Court is indeed failing to check excesses of the Executive Branch. It consistently rubber-stamps the Trump admin’s most unlawful actions with little or no explanation. With no checks and balances among the branches, elections are the only accountability.

Three years ago, I was the PR person leading redistricting for the Brennan Center.

Now, with all these threats of retributive gerrymandering, I’m GLAD I’m no longer there! 😩🤭 I don’t envy my successor!

That work—and the fight for independent redistricting commissions—has just gotten 10x harder!

The gatekeeping Black political class miscalculated. They threw their full weight behind the sex pest they called on to resign four years ago instead of supporting the young, dynamic candidate who centered his campaign on the issues that affected *US.*

I don’t know why this isn’t happening already.
Heard earlier about a friend forced to move and find a new job bc his previous job got DOGEd and find myself thinking about how there are many, many such cases and, if I were a Dem campaigner, I would have them on TV and in local papers every day telling their story about how Trump/Musk harmed them

Nobody asked, but this is why I'm here.
