IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE: What I have not seen anyone discussing is that Nexstar pulling Kimmel, forcing ABC’s hand, comes as Nexstar is leading the way for the industry on trying to get FCC approval for media consolidation. www.poynter.org/business-wor...

Nexstar’s takeover of Tegna would require an overhaul of FCC ownership rules - Poynter
The proposed sale would exceed the FCC’s 39% cap, igniting debate among broadcasters, unions and press groups

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

"As a political and moral matter, however, it is monstrous. There is no defending this. So maybe we shouldn’t be surprised the administration is barely trying. They’re arguing anyone who has the gall to ask is a subversive who is carrying water for gang members." www.thebulwark.com/p/innocent-b...

Innocent (In a Brutal Prison) Abroad
The Trump administration’s latest stain on our values: sending a man without a conviction to a country where a judge ruled he couldn’t be sent.

An ‘Administrative Error’ Sends a Maryland Father to a Salvadoran Prison
The Trump administration says it mistakenly deported an immigrant with protected status but that courts are powerless to order his return.

Imagine going about your life and getting abducted by ICE. Imagine they admit you shouldn’t have been deported but abandon you in a concentration camp in El Salvador anyway. We have become more evil than fictional villains.

This HAS to be resolved or due process is meaningless. This article is the best I’ve read so far.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.   An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

These Republicans and others like them need to be inundated with calls and protests about what Elon Musk and Donald Trump are doing. They know it’s wrong. They are feeling the heat. So keep the pressure on.

“And you’re looking tired, but you don’t look scared.” I’ve been thinking about the song “The Joke” by Brandi Carlile a lot lately. It’s so important to ensure those who are marginalized feel seen, supported and encouraged to hope even as the world … <waves wildly at the state of things>. 1/X

if a major politician held an emergency rally about the current ongoing coup by the richest man in the world, I think people would go to it. Shit is well and truly fucked. I can think of a couple of people who should do that right now.

Just deleted Twitter, but wanted to preserve the contents of my pinned post, courtesy of @dianabutlerbass.bsky.social from 4+ years ago. Still fighting to keep this perspective, maybe now more than ever.
A quote from Frederick Buechner

Listen to your life.
See...the fathomless mystery that it is.
In the boredom & pain of it
no less than in the excitement & gladness:
touch, taste, smell your way to the holy & hidden heart of it
because...all moments are key moments,
& life itself is grace.
