Joyce is one of the true warriors of this present time; indefatigable on her substack, on her podcast, on TV, and in her commitment to the belief that democracy depends on ordinary humans doing extraordinary things. Today is a great day to thank her for showing up for the rest of us, every day.

Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

corruption is such a helpful lens for understanding so much of what is broken right now. all of these people actually need accountability. allowing them to act with impunity just lets them make all manner of bad decisions. we need to help them rediscover boundaries
