Thinking about the families who lost parents, children, and siblings in this attack today because of a convicted sexual assaulter who appears countless times in the Epstein files and is trying to redirect our attention from that fact. This is a war crime and a crime against humanity.

I’m so sick of people double downing on mediocre white men because they’re scared of how some people in this country perceives Black women in power. Maybe don’t normalize that behavior by saying “we’re just throwing that Senate seat away!” Crockett already won a congressional seat remember? JFC.
So tired of armchair quarterbacks like this. You may not like their policies and that’s fair but Kamala Harris and Jasmine Crockett have dedicated their lives to public service. You can respect that. Also, assuming that Jasmine Crockett would lose? Maybe investigate where that notion is coming from.
The base of the Democratic Party are Black women. That base loves both Kamala Harris and Jasmine Crockett. Every time someone complains about this, ask them who they think the base is.
The way people disrespect Black women in this country. Is so demoralizing.
My response to your post is: Ew.
It’s still Black History Month.
Put some respect on Black women.
Six years ago, @mayatcontreras.bsky.social wrote this for us. And today, consolidation has gotten so much worse and so much more in the interest of this admin.
She’s making it happen, y’all.
@jasmineforus.bsky.social is activating non-voters just like she said she would.
“55% of the people that showed up on day one don’t normally vote in a primary. In fact, 20% of those voters were first-time voters.” 💥
DHS shut down over demands to end masking, profiling, excessive force and use of admin warrants to enter homes. I’ll discuss at 11 pm on @msnownews.bsky.social
I feel like this is pretty key. Newsom is signaling that he wants to throw trans people under every available bus. that is a reason to denounce him, not to preemptively demand that trans people endorse him. 1
Our court system is largely working, with the exception of the most important court
Macbeth - Act 5, Scene 5:
In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD. Just some facts I think bear repeating.

He deleted it. These guys are gutless.
AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."
folks, this is some really weird shit. the president is not well.
NEW: "We shouldn’t even have an election,” Trump said as he complained about the possibility of his party losing the midterms. The remark is just the latest to suggest the president views elections as an obstacle rather than a constitutional requirement.
The gaslighting is not just off the charts - it's in whole another galaxy.
But, this is also a sign of desperation.
He knows. They know - except for their MAGA core just watching their edited frames, everyone else knows the objective reality.
More of this.
We need fighters.

If you are more interested in telling people what you think than you are in hearing what they think, you're not interested in news, you're interested in podcasting.
I'M NOTICING A PATTERN among certain people within my profession who've jumped to the defense of Bari Weiss, the oligarch functionary installed at CBS by new owner David Ellison to enforce ideological discipline upon its journalists. Caitlin Flanagan, Chris Cilizza—these are not people who produce investigative journalism. These are take-merchants and mouthpieces who publish what powerful people tell them over text and DM as if it's a transgressive secret and not a comms strategy. Such people would not understand what it means to censor the 60 Minutes piece about the CECOT torture prison, because they don't understand what it takes to produce it. As it happens, I do.
2/ These descriptions of Weiss are also spot on:
"the oligarch functionary"
"Weiss is not a reporter, let alone an investigative reporter"
"an editor who is both determined to kill a piece and, frankly, out of her depth"
This is quite a read about the BW attack on 60 Minutes. I'm glad it also highlights the incredibly solid reporting in the piece, a fact that has been largely overlooked in this red hot debate about Weiss' actions. Yes, what Sharyn Alfonsi & her team did here is journalism. Damn good journalism.
In the end, it was all a morally perverse spectacle to amuse his Christian Nationalist base on Christmas—It was late in the evening on Dec25 when residents of the mainly Muslim village of Jabo in Sokoto state, NW Nigeria, said they noticed an object resembling a small aircraft flying overhead.
Marc Elias is one of the heroes of our time, leaving Big Law to fight this assault on democracy at every level. Heather Cox Richardson is my second inspiration, using her deep history knowledge to show how these disparate attacks fit larger patterns—and to chart a path forward against all adversity.
