I’d like you @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social to speak w/ #tanehisicoates asap please. Hope you read his op-ed in @vanityfair?

Your piece last week and the opening to this episode really has given me pause.

@emilypeck.bsky.social I am from a town of 400 people in rural Colorado & fyi — travel (near & far, cheap & expensive) literally changed me, gave me perspective as to what was possible & broadened my horizons. It made me more curious, more empathetic & more willing to take risks & welcome discomfort

Anyone read American Gods? I know Gaiman is controversial. But seems like Trump is the epitome of the conceptual ‘media’ god character and explicitly a cringe/dangerous one in the book.

Thank you so much!

@dahlialithwick.bsky.social can you direct me to that gentleman you interviewed on bonus episode - struggling to find his new podcast

“Ideological capture” Ain’t that what the R’s are doin? lol

Both and

Elon got the data he wanted so he don’t need the prez no more

IMO more would be marching if police weren’t kitted out like the fucking military

Does the 25th even work anymore with SCOTUS ruling on presidential immunity?

@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social can you do a show on the #estherproject please

@karaswisher.bsky.social @profgalloway.com listening to you pod and really thinking it’s as simple as this 👆

My hot take no one asked for - Elon paid Trump $250MM in election support not to do anything with #DOGE other than gather unparalleled amounts of data & acquire more government contracts.

That was the deal. Nothing more

I’m fucking sick of opinion politics. I’d really like less podcasters and more expertise. It’s really bad for society am I wrong?

Clearest breakdown so far. Grateful for your pod, so bummed about where we are at as a country.

When you broke down what our REAL values are as a country I had to pause. I knew it, but said so frankly is just… gutting.

They moved fast under McConnell w/ scotus picks and now they’re doing it again. It’s a strategy long in the making a la federalist society & heritage foundation. Slow build to urgent moves. That’s their chess game, in full view now

This was literally a response a @thebulwark.com who comprehensively covers EVERYTHING.

To presume one only has thoughts and opinions about I single topic by simply commenting on a single topic post from a media company, in a pluralistic country w/ multidimensional crises going on is ridiculous.

Now this is what I’m talkin about!

Yes, of course I know that.

The new book ‘Original Sun’ from Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson articulates a pattern of dishonesty w/ constituents in regard to health.

The New Yorker interview w/ them this past week explicitly states a record of the family withholding pertinent information like this.

Given that the Biden’s hid Beau’s brain cancer from Delaware for quite some time while he remained in office as AG, makes me wonder if this has been going on for much longer than a recent diagnosis

I’m feeling like American culture has been completely usurped by creatures of tech bro + game theory + ADHD capitalists + Fox News.

Our culture is one built on toxic individualism, a lack of emotional intelligence, inability to focus, inhumane dominance & multidimensional addictions.

#Capitalism

I say this as a woman who grew up in a super rural town in Colorado where my K-12 school system totaled 200 children. Where my queer friends & self felt unsafe/unwelcome — at the same historical time #matthewsheppard was brutally beaten, #columbinschoolshooting locked us down. See the bigger picture

This @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social interview was infuriating. I support her supporting her constituents and rural life, but she seems to have no space to see a world view outside her own. She seems brittle, and uncompromising… not a representative willing to represent all types of Americans.

People are dumb. We’ve lost our ability to think critically. Most Americans can’t read above a 6th grade level and that means we can’t infer things.

Just watched @marcelias.bsky.social on @60minutes.bsky.social great articulate explanation how critical the rule of law is to society but especially to the corporations and the commerce system, otherwise we will be like China with a dictatorship

…a fucking desert. ERA not passed, no childcare passed, equal pay no bueno, dating is a mess, etc etc etc.

it’s like our sassy, bust, jez all sold millennial women on a life that’s still just a fantasy. So those rags kickin the bucket sorta makes sense no?

@eringloriaryan.bsky.social thoughts on your thoughts about progressive women’s pubs - perhaps they fell off a cliff because toxic masculinity a la brosphere has made for a rather blah reality for women.

All this chatter about boys & men falling behind/or not being ok, but for us lib gals it’s…
