Dear @nytimes.com DO BETTER. If the entire lede of your story on the latest shooting by ICE in Minneapolis is to quote and give the weight of unquestioned, unchallenged truth to the same DHS spokesperson who completely lied about the Renee Good shooting, perhaps that’s not REAL journalism. Shame.

Who benefits the most from the illegal invasion of Venezuela?

Great reporting this morning from @juddlegum.bsky.social. Read these screenshots in order.

@maddow.bsky.social - Yes, none of the 4 major oil companies were consulted. Paul Singer, on the other hand…

16 days ago, I wrote to my Congressman, Chuck Edwards (R - NC). His taxpayer-funded newsletter was so full of BS I felt it necessary to call him out (Photo 1). Today, I heard back from him…err…his intern…err…AI, with THE most generic BS imaginable (Photo 2).

Push BACK!

Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify

Spotify is now running ICE recruitment ads. We asked them to stop. They ignored us. Let's show them what we showed Disney. No Kings, No Collaborators, No Capitulators. indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

ALL of this, Karin. Well said and so many sad truths. And I’m with youβ€”no AI generated anything from me. If it’s a mistake, it’s mine. If it’s the best thing you’ve read since the beginning of time, also courtesy of moi. Also, authors, check to see if you’re part of the Anthropic class action suit.

Everyday citizensβ€”NOT paid protestersβ€”in West Asheville, NC, today, just trying to stand up for the America we all believe in… You know, the one that stands for freedom, liberty, due process, and respect for all.

I’ll be picking up the β€œreading” copy I pre-ordered from my local bookstore tomorrow. In the meantime, the signed version has arrived and now has been shelved along side our cherished 1st editions. Fitting, I think, that it rests between Leon Uris and Gore Vidal.

Congratulations, Joyce!

Been waiting patiently for former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance’s (@joycewhitevance.bsky.social) brand-new, must-read debut book. The signed version arrived and has been shelved along side our cherished 1st editions. Fitting that it rests between Leon Uris and Gore Vidal.

Congratulations, Joyce!

Finished off No Kings Day in our hometown, Asheville, NC, marching with thousands of neighbors and friends who love this country and are standing up and speaking out for our democracy.

Oh, and I was quoted on CNN. THIS is what democracy looks like!

Thanks so much for all you do, Ezra and Leah.

My wife and I attended two protests today. Started the day in ruby-red, small-town Hendersonville, NC, and bookended the day with a MASSIVE crowd in Asheville, NC.

Terrific energy, creative signs, joy-filled protesters, and the power of unity.

Massive turnout this morning in ruby-red Hendersonville, North Carolina.

Peaceful, joy-filled, powerful, and impactful. ORDINARY American citizens standing up for decency, democracy, and the power of the people.

P.S. Some excellent signs, too!

When the WH twists the arms of media NOT to interview an author with a new book out, it shows they fear the message. No wonder. I 1st met @rweingarten.bsky.social in 1987, when I was press secretary to the NYS Senate Dems. She was a force then. She still is. BUY the book, folks. The truth matters.
