Perilously close to being a retired lawyer. Alternative facts are lies. Clean water, plumbing, a place to sleep and healthcare for all is more important than another yacht for anyone. Human rights are civil rights. Climate change, don't get me started. . .
goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024
Beautiful footage …The shadows of the giraffes...☺️💙😎

UPDATE: This man was just appointed Secretary of Homeland Security. No, really.
It’s not just that he’s the dumbest Senator in Congress. He might be the dumbest American in America.
Finished as a serious (and safe) country.
"No, we are not alone, we are the first. We are the first"
"And I'll tell you more, I'll tell you more, we are already seeing it"
"We are seeing how many other governments are already taking a stand against this war."
"The ones who will end up alone are those who defend the indefensible"
Israelis are now living in Hell, so they’re leaving.
Over 2,000,000 israelis have left Palestine.
The situation in Israel is worse than you can imagine.
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.
I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.
That’s what I’m talking about
Six years ago today I launched Democracy Docket to be unapologetically pro-democracy. Today, it has a staff of 22 and more than 400,000 subscribers and 60,000 paying members.
Its commitment remains: Never back down or obey and always stand tall. Sign-up and support it today. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

@markjacob.bsky.social on the role media plays in not just telling the story but explaining it, too.
"The rule of law needs to be explained to the public. People don’t have the Constitution memorized. Journalists need to explain that the Trump regime is repeatedly violating the law."
Republicans bad for your economy, bad for your security.
…Because, the story goes, we need the votes of people who *don’t* want full trans rights. Because THEY have that purity test, and must be catered to.
So trans people and the people who love them should just suck it up and watch their rights taken away. For some mythical voter’s (yep) purity test.
They killed him.
It takes a lot to infuriate me and break my heart only because you have to be able to tolerate a lot when covering Trump and fascism and try your best to stay centered and hopeful.
This story I can't let go.
They chose to let him just die.

This has nothing to do with fraud.
The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.
Democracy is dying in America.
ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.
We need real leaders - not career politicians.
BOYCOTT Trump’s SOTU tonight!
Join me & @joyannreid.bsky.social along with members of Congress, allies, & Americans impacted by Trump’s horrific policies.
We will be LIVE on the National Mall & LIVE on YouTube at the MeidasTouch network and MoveOn.org/Live.

Why does someone who overstayed their visa need to be held in shackles? Does any child belong in a prison camp? Does anybody deserve to be underfed, or brutalized, or denied medical care? presswatchers.org/2026/02/the-...

There’s a lot to investigate and report on from today’s stunning deposition of Les Wexner. But here’s something I can’t get over.
I asked Mr. Wexner if the DOJ or FBI ever contacted him to ask him about Epstein and his crimes. He said NO. That’s outrageous and unforgivable.
How does The Onion know what the Trump administration is going to do before it happens?
Clearly there must be a lot of leeks inside the White House
The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation
This trial will determine what happened that night in Texas—which is far from clear — but it will also test how far the Trump administration can push terrorism law to target its political opponents and how it may use the courts to punish dissent. As @rlevinsonwaldman.bsky.social told me:
Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.
It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water.
Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.
