When we get out the other side of this, we should think seriously about making signs like this permanent, like the plaques in Paris that tell you that you're standing on the exact spot where a resistance fighter was shot down by the Nazis in 1944.

as you watch all of the rah-rah pageantry of the Super Bowl it’s astounding to remember that MAGA is so weird and offputting that they’ve apparently given football to the libs in the national divorce

US authorities must immediately release journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. Journalism is not a crime. Reporting on protests is not a crime. Arresting journalists for their reporting is a clear example of an authoritarian practice.

At this point we have statements from IBEW, SEIU, and the TN AFL-CIO confirming that the rumors of union avoidance in recovery efforts are FALSE.

People are justifiably pissed. Misleading them will not help us recover.

The Era Of Pretend Powerlessness Is Over Trump's rampage has laid waste to the Obama Era's biggest lie.

The one silver lining in Trump's daily rampages is that they have exposed Democrats' most insidious lie - the lie claiming that Democrats' own presidents never had the power to change much.

It was always a lie. Now everyone can see that - and nobody will believe it next time.

No, it was a successful coup. None of the people who led it were punished, and are in fact back in power, rewarded for their efforts to break the system by running it. Donald Trump is currently the dictator he attempted to become 5 years ago, and it’s because nobody treated trying as a crime.

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

Read the CBS Report Bari Weiss Doesn’t Want You to See A transcript of the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, the notorious prison in El Salvador.

The 60 Minutes episode about CECOT was not only worth running, it was an exceptionally powerful work of journalism that made clear the US government has embraced torture. You can read the transcript here: www.thenation.com/article/soci...
