As usual, @sorayachemaly.bsky.social cuts through the noise and tells us like it is: "DARVO, in the Epstein case, has consistently made victims the face of the crimes and ensured that the network that enabled Epstein remains an abstract force." www.damemagazine.com/2026/02/12/i...
As usual @borowitzreport.bsky.social tells it like it is: open.substack.com/pub/borowitz...
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, David Rubenstein (whom he fired as head of the Kennedy Center) and Jerome H. Powell (the outgoing Fed chairman) celebrating confederate Robert E Lee.
The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

So, it's 2026. Things are scary but we can remember all of the good things that happened in 2025. @angushervey.com does a great job of re-orienting us. "Doom is dramatically satisfying in ways that incremental progress never can be." fixthenews.com/p/the-teleme...
Worried about falling birthrates? Apparently many Americans are. Here are some policy solutions: (1) make childcare affordable and (2) create Medicare for all. One of the reasons people don't have kids is that they are afraid they can't afford them. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 in the US say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014." news.gallup.com/poll/697382/...

“Their rhetoric — and the conventional wisdom that flows from it — suggests that we cannot talk about economic solutions without abandoning our commitment to the Black, Latino, gay, transgender and female poor that are the lifeblood of the Democratic Party’s base.”

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

If you weren't as lucky as me to know the incomparable Urvashi Vaid, you can still be part of her aura. She knew there was a place for everyone in the movement, that we had to build bridges to make change, that we didn't have to compromise our values to get things done. www.pbs.org/video/there-...
This is so good. Creating magnetic messaging, not "pollingism" and what the Democrats could be doing that they mainly are not. (But exceptions! @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, @govpritzker.illinois.gov, @govandybeshear.bsky.social)Attract people and don't be afraid to repel!

This was a fun and provocative conversation. Stephanie Wong asked great questions that allowed me to bust many myths! You'll hear a lot of "howevers" because there's nuance when it comes to understanding gender inequality and the parenthood penalty! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaaZ...

These transgender servicemembers and military candidates are ready and able to serve. Last night’s @thedailyshow.com segment highlights what’s at stake as legal challenges to Trump’s trans military ban continue.
Important to call these things what they are: concentration camps.
Canadians got the message.
I love adding this one data point to economic charts. It works every time.
