To every reporter who stands there as Trump shouts down one of your (almost always female) colleagues with insults and bullying behavior without standing up for them -- you know the rest of us can see and hear you, right?

The White House is actively beefing with military families and denouncing them as liars. And their supporters still let them get away with it. Imagine Obama calling Navy spouses lying communists or latte-sipping sissies for demanding better conditions during deployments, and Dems supporting it.

The lead for every network news broadcast should be the president falling asleep in the middle of a press conference in the Oval Office for the umpteenth time. But it won’t be and likely won’t be mentioned or shown. Again. What a joke network news is. bsky.app/profile/atru...

If you didn't object when Donald Trump gloated about Robert Mueller's death your scolding over responses to Lindsey Graham's death isn't about respect for the dead, it's about censorship of the living.

Terrible "customer service" from @hersheypark.bsky.social - bought 4 Summer Fun tix w/ 1 $60 parking "upgrade." Parking was auto-assigned to me w/ no option at checkout to choose who it's for. Now they say there's NO WAY to transfer parking to my spouse even though passes haven't yet been used. 🤬

"So what needs to happen now - and it needs to happen now - is that Democrat-led states need to set aside procedure and redraw the maps. New York, New Jersey, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, Maryland, and Colorado need to get it done. Do it in 2026 if possible. By 2028 is non-negotiable."

Please keep writing about Nurul Amin Shah Alam. They killed this man. It's a system wide problem that resulted in his death. Every step of the way it was a travesty of justice. This is how immigration law intersects with criminal law. ICE and CBP. Read this and ask why do we fund this? Why?

So basically Trump can post that he’s sending a hospital ship to Greenland for no reason, then do absolutely nothing to actually send a hospital ship to Greenland because it was all a lie, and not one single Republican gets asked about it. That’s where we’re at.

We mourn the loss of the Reverend Jesse Jackson, who played an extraordinarily consequential role not in only advancing our nation’s civil rights, but also strengthening our democracy.
Black graphic with a photo of a young Rev. Jesse Jackson in a suit speaking into a set of microphones with his fist in the air and white text reads "Hold your head high, stick your chest out. It gets dark sometimes, but morning comes. Keep hope alive." The quote is attributed to Reverend Jesse Jackson, civil rights activist
