@thetnholler.bsky.social, I just followed @michaelafortn.bsky.social and @michaelabarnett.bsky.social. Thanks for the heads-up. I encourage others to do so as well.

Stephen A. Smith and the Performance of Neutrality How a credible sports journalist turned political tourist mistook balance for bravery.

Excellent post this morning (as usual) from @kmezdoesit.bsky.social on the "performative neutrality" of Stephen A. Smith.

My Chinese neighbors don’t speak a bit of English, and are incredibly nice people. I think it is “totally reasonable and acceptable“ to prefer living next door to them than anyone who is maga and supports this authoritarian regime.

Things are so mean-spirited right now, this made me tear up. In the gratuitously cruel age of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Mike Johnson, it's comforting to be reminded that there still are decent human beings that walk amongst us. Thank you, Heretic Coffee in Portland.

Check out @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social's post this morning on the elite that enabled Hitler, and the consequences they faced at Nuremberg.

"the international military tribunal had convicted 19 of 22 high-profile Nazi leaders and hanged 10 of them."

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about.

Would be a shame if it went viral.

The Chilling Memo Marking Trump’s War on Dissent It was released without fanfare. But NSPM-7 signals an alarming new phase in Trump's revenge tour.

Holy Crap! @newsunderground.bsky.social with a peek under the covers of the latest regime dictate.

"The raids provide spectacle; the memorandum provides structure. One is visible, the other procedural...make resistance administratively impossible."

The People Still Holding the Line In a time of fear and fatigue, courage is quieter—but strength is everywhere.

I always feel hopeful after reading a post from @oliviaoftroye.com. Today is no different.

"Belief in the people who keep this country afloat when its leaders fail it. Belief in the quiet, relentless goodness that power can’t buy or bulldoze."

The Psychology of Political Apathy We can’t keep pretending neutrality is noble. It’s just quiet complicity dressed up in politeness.

Great read this morning from @kmezdoesit.bsky.social on the affects of political apathy, with a few good chuckles thrown in as well.

"When people on the left sit out, the right throws a parade. Apathy always helps the side that depends on it most."
