I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I'm from one of the states on the west side of the map, but I'm really glad to get this bit of good news. Restore some sanity and genuine educational opportunities to the students of OK, and make accountability for Walters ring like a bell.

Spread the word, Rachel - this has to be massive. Seems more important than ever, and we may not have a lot of chances to do this again. Stay strong.

Does this mean you are actually IN San Diego, or just looking at a photo of the Star of India?

This is the way the government of the United States is behaving today, and it will only get worse. Do not delay, do not abandon your duty to your country - get out in the streets and make it clear how you feel. October 18 you MUST answer the call.

I couldn't agree more, and have been saying as much for months. The silence, the abject reticence of former high-ranking military and government leaders to speak to the moment, remains a mystery and a deeply disappointing behavior at a hyper-critical inflection point in our history.

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

The Roberts Court has given us a Gestapo that is above the law, and the regime has populated it with the worst of human behavior. One of the most significant challenges we've ever faced: how to turn this around.

Saw someone say, β€œStop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

This is the kind of impassioned and intelligent leadership I want at a time like this. She is speaking to both the situation as well as her constituents, the American people. Thank you, @aoc.bsky.social

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to πŸ‘‡

Vent away. Exploding humans, trying to contain it all inside, is not a pretty sight!

Seriously: I have no idea who 'you' are, but on a daily basis you help keep me (at least marginally) hopeful. ❀️

What I hate, above all, is the smirking. Just look at Johnson. I can't wait until he has jack to smirk about.

This guy is leading with action. Many times more worthwhile than Jeffries and Schumer and their ilk. We need the Democrats that are willing to speak, fight, and take a stand against the destruction of our Democracy.

I could not agree more with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social - these 'leaders' have been pathetically ineffective, whether you look at actionable strategies or plain old messaging. I get that Schumer is around the bend, but I am pissed and disappointed in Jeffries in a big way. Time for change.
