Y'all, I just imagined what it would be like to have an album (or three) a la Ella and Louie, but with Mavis Staples and Malford Milligan and now I don't want to keep living in a world where that doesn't exist. Who do I have to convince to make this happen?

The Jeffrey Epstein cover-up is an affront to US democracy | Rebecca Solnit Democracy means a society and system in which everyone’s rights matter. Rapists count on this being untrue – and Trump is proving them right

Rape is a crime against democracy in the most immediate sense of equality between individuals and the premise that we’re all endowed with certain inalienable rights. Most rapists operate on the premise that they can not only overpower the victim physically, but can do so socially and legally....

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

"I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment.” - Charlie Kirk

They're just installing Peter Thiel's minions, O'Neill was CEO of the Thiel Foundation. They have no intention of doing the work the CDC is meant for; it's all laid out in Project 2025

Sucks to be right, sometimes, dunnit?

Everyone has something to contribute

Democrats are good for the economy

My dad was there, working the summer break as a bank teller a couple blocks down Guadalupe. Met officer Speed that morning. I forget that August 1st is the anniversary. He was coming back from lunch, saw folks huddled by the corner of a building, who told him "someone is shooting..." and hurried on

Awesome! Will you and your fellow Democratic Senators break quorum if need be to prevent this travesty?

The Invention of “Sesame Street” Renata Adler’s 1972 review of the program that revolutionized children’s television.

“Small children from poor or middle-class families who watch ‘Sesame Street’ do better on cognitive tests and in first grade than children who do not watch it,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

Stephen Colbert on The Late Show during his monologue approaches the camera so low and close that his face appears only from his eyes up, though the limited view belies an obviously impish grin

I need this to be in the world for more than the moment it appeared on my screen.

Let's turn up and turn it up, y'all

‘Late Show’ Shocker: CBS Ending Late-Night Franchise in 2026 Host Stephen Colbert announced the news during the taping of Thursday’s show.

Welp, @stephencolbert.bsky.social called it in his monologue Monday night, and, verily, it is so. @colbertlateshow.bsky.social is officially doomed. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/c...

@kutx.bsky.social Will somebody please tell Jeff McCord that Cyril Neville is not dead and he does not need to be terrorizing us like that!?!?

This bill, y'all. Everything I learn about it is worse than the last

It sure would be nice if we had some new ideas around here.

Indeed

Pretty disgusted that @texasstandard.bsky.social reported on Trump phones without mentioning the Hatch Act, and compared the wireless brands of other celebrities who don't hold elected office. Y'all buried the "major conflict" lede. I'm hotter than boiled peanuts from Jimmy Carter's farm.

I feel this in my bones. May your suffering be brief, and your remedy be effervescent

We already knew it was a risk to come today before these warnings. My uncle came all the way from Lufkin; we will have our protective gear as planned, and we will peacefully assemble.

Nice! I'm still trying to come up with words for my sign, this is good inspiration

See you there!
