Welcome back!

Jasmine Crockett for Attorney General in 2028.

Lindsey Halligan, the attorney selected by Donald Trump to bring criminal charges against James Comey, has never prosecuted a case.

But, like Trump, she did get her start in reality TV — with a brief cameo on South Beach Tow.

Here is Halligan’s newly resurfaced TV moment:

The hardest part about the past decade for me has been realizing just how many people will simply never care. Your neighbors could get hauled away and you’d just shrug and carry on. We’re on a razor thin edge right now, soldiers are patrolling our streets, every speech is a declaration of war against our own citizens, and as long as nothing changes for you in the immediate, you don’t care. Our culture taught you selfishness, algorithms taught you hate and apathy, and history taught you nothing.

THIS.

The Washington Post Accused Me of “Gross Misconduct.” Here's My Response. This fight isn’t just about my job — it’s about who gets punished for telling the truth, and who gets protected for spreading hate and violence.

My latest in my fight against the Washington Post.

I’ve filed a grievance against the Post through the WaPo Guild— and have sent a letter to Washington Post challenging my firing.

Proud to have @normeisen.bsky.social + @katiephang.bsky.social in my corner.

They found 38 unmarked graves of Indigenous children at Immaculate Conception Mission in South Dakota and it didn't make the news outside of Indian Country.

"i’ve been getting a little bit of flak just because my dad died in 9/11” is an awesome line

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Find your local NO KINGS protest this Oct. 18th. There are more protests registered for this one than any protests in the past. These are desperate times. The regime has co-opted the military & we need to show them that there are more of us than them. Get involved.

This needs to become a huge story

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”

This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

America is now a shithole brutal dictatorship. Government thugs attacking pastors. Time to organise and Resist

#Mets fans: This hurts me FAR worse than '07 or '08. This has been a torturous death by 1,000 cuts since June 13. For the Marlins to knock us out for a third year in Game 162, to have gotten the help we needed from another team, and have our three biggest stars have phenomenal years is UNBEARABLE.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Typical Mets. Beat LA!

These folks showed more restraint than I ever could.

What’s wrong with people like this woman, who think the world revolves around them and lose it when they find out it doesn’t?

No, immigrants are not bad. No, a person is not evil or violent just because the government and media blasts their face all over.

🤣

Thanks, Annette!
