I mean, is there any newspaper that is less trusted today vs a year ago? Does anyone think their coverage is "riveting"? He can't actually believe this, right?

I read @oliverdarcy.bsky.social's interview with WaPo's Matt Murray and I cannot believe he uttered these words: We’ve made great progress on an ambitious plan to reinvent The Post as the most trusted, accurate news organization in the world, with riveting and relevant information for all Americans.

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

You're either with ICE or with humanity and democracy.

idk man, if you’re getting to the point where you’re accusing prosecutors, judges, and metro police of being the enemy, i am skeptical you have achieved the kind of consolidation you need for this kind of a project

When I turned 30 I had not yet written my first published book or my first published novel and did not know (or know of) some of the most important people in my life. I didn't know how much my life could still change, and did, after the age of 30. There is so much your life still yet to live.

the fundamental problem of our age is that the internet broke containment. we should have built stronger firewalls, kept that shit cordoned off in obscure message boards.

In 2023, NY contributed $89 billion more to the federal government than we received. Undocumented immigrants in NYC contributed $3 billion. So in theory we could just stop giving Republicans federal subsidies and pay for that marginal $18 billion in infrastructure directly and have a big surplus.

Definitely did not expect to be working on a book where some of the bigger questions included:

-- will I ever be allowed to publish another one under an autocratic regime hostile to the first amendment?

-- will I get the book out before the country collapses into civil war?

as a wee lad in the early 90s who thought it would be fun to make cartoons for a living, I did not expect to chronicle the descent of the so called american experiment into blatant fascism, but I guess you play the hand you are dealt

Christian nationalist fascism: when they lower masked Gestapo goons from helicopters in the night to smash apartment windows, terrorize residents, and zip-tie and kidnap children for not being white looking enoughβ€” and then violate the 1st Amendment by reciting scripture from a government account.

To MAGA, the targeting of Chicago symbolizes both President Obama and the Black community as a whole.

By openly attacking Chicago, MAGA is attacking and desecrating the humanity of both Barack Obama and the entire Black community.

This has always been chiefly about Racism.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Who else thinks that everything we’re experiencing with Ice and the National guard is because there were no consequences for the man responsible for the January 6th Insurrection.
