@maddow.bsky.social Sorry, Rachel, but what's also "repulsive" is you not mentioning that Jared is representing Israel in the Mideast. "Countries"? Really? BREAK THE TABBOO, RACHEL! It's in the national interest and the human interest.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

@adriannefblack.bsky.social Hello Adrianne, I'm Sandy Tolan. I'm a professor at USC in LA. I was doing research for a book when I came across your moving and brave memoir. I am hoping I could talk to you about a book I'm working on - it would be easier to explain in a call. atolan@usc.edu thanks. -

"Throughout history, authoritarian regimes have scapegoated Jews in order to impose tyrannical rule...Trump is implementing an authoritarian plan to squash dissent and bring universities to their knees — in the name of protecting American Jews." My piece: www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

As attacks mount on #universities, the survival of free speech and academic freedom hangs in the balance. For universities, the response should be obvious: no more buckling under repressive pressures from narrow-minded autocrats. My piece in The Guardian www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The fact that I know more about Fani Willis’ and Nathan Wade’s relationship than I do about the crimes committed by Ginni Thomas and Clarence Thomas shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Of all the dreams I have imagined in my 68 years, here's one: That Bobby Kennedy lived and was elected president in 1968. Instead, we have his son. H/T unknown bsky user

I love this.

A lot of people spent a lot of time over the last year pretending that Biden was either being deceived or was personally against the things that Israel and Bibi were doing. And all of those people have been embarrassed by Biden showing over and over that he is in fact their biggest supporter.
