The success of @pablo.show and @minakimes.bsky.social are the two of brightest spots in broadcast media for me right now. Just extraordinary talents, fantastic people who’ve been true to themselves and carved a path. Media is laughably far from a meritocracy so it’s great to see deserved success.

Trump is putting no effort into becoming less unpopular but a TON into putting elements of a coup in place. Some of them may remain invisible, but the ones we can see point to his general approach: violent intimidation + corrupt judges + executive branch and congressional coconspirators + bribes.

Dr. Sonya Sloan and Dr. Haydée Brown warn the Trump administration is “burying the evidence.” 1,800+ measles cases already in 2026. Reports say the FDA blocked studies showing COVID-19 and shingles vaccines are safe. “If the science exposes the truth, block it.”

Trump and his allies are doing everything they possibly can to strengthen the forces in the center-left that are urging Dems to embrace procedural Total War. Trump and the GOP are doing this to our country. Every last shred of damage that results from escalation is their fault.

Brett Meiselas says RFK Jr. blaming teenagers' sperm and Dr. Oz saying Americans are "under babied" are not only weird—they miss the point. The reason people aren't having kids is simple: income inequality has become so extreme that Americans can barely afford housing and food, let alone raise kids.

A core part of the Supreme Court’s stated rationale for gutting the Voting Rights Act is that racism isn’t a problem anymore, so former Confederate states would never disenfranchise Black voters the way those states are doing right now.

As a spouse of a Navy supply officer, there is probably more food available that this person isn’t taking. However, restocking the ship is done by what’s called an unrep. Navy supply ships bring food to other ships and if they can’t maneuver in the gulf. 🤷‍♀️ And that’s also how mail gets delivered.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.
