Bari Weiss, and her GOP supporters, have gone after DEI for years. But isn't Weiss a DEI hire herself? She wasn't hired at CBS because of her experience/competency in broadcasting, she wasn't hired for her strategic tv ability, and she wasn't hired for her years of working in news media.

The Next Terrorist Attack And What Comes After (Updated)

Is it just me or do these proclamations sound more and more like the work of Dement AI?

Keep an eye out for your neighbors and community.
Be generous when you can.

He’s a cuck-a-doodle-do.

AMEN!!

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.

Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

The East Wing Obscenity Trump's Ballroom Is a Tumor On The People's House

The East Wing Obscenity

This piece is on the free side of the paywall, and I have to admit that writing it made me more sad than I could have imagined. The ugly destruction isn’t just to a building, but to memory, history, and American grace.

And how we even got to this point is beyond me. Did no one see the cliff we were coming to years ago????

It’s a desecration is right. Just awful. I can’t stand to see this beautiful house destroyed like this.

omg!

Yes.

Facts don’t care about the GOP’s feelings — there’s nothing more American than rejecting a mad king. Please join us tomorrow: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

For generations, people around the world have used color to show collective strength in the face of oppression. The #NoKings movement is no different. Yellow is our shared signal, bright, bold and impossible to ignore, a reminder that America's power belongs to our people, not to kings.

Three More Universities Reject Trump’s “Compact” It seems that universities have a stronger spine than large law firms or media conglomerates. Trump offered nine prestigious universities a deal: Adopt the Trumpian rightwing policies and you won&#…

Epstein Shutdown.

Be part of this, show up for #NoKings on Saturday — and join up with an organization afterwards — do what you can, it matters.

Rachel Is Absolutely 💯 Correct !

Symbolic of the GOP tripping and falling all over the place crippling America.

Congress?? So much for checks and balances. It’s shameful what the GOP has become.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

The GOP budget is going to be the single most unpopular and destructive budget in modern American history - tariffs/higher prices, exploding deficits, gutting health care, slashing clean energy/higher electricity costs, huge ICE expansion.

Going to be a parade of horrors and they are scared of it.

He’s angry, vile, and hateful.

The whole regime is batshit crazy.
