If Miami Could Speak...
"A reminder that this place we call America is made up of many countries, islands, and cultures, all moving to different rhythms. Iβve been living that truth since the beginning, and seeing it danced, sung, and shared with the world felt like home."

Our President is Truly the Ugliest American
When Donald Trump can find a way to do lasting damage, to create monuments to his vileness, he will most certainly do so.
OPINION | He is also the creepiest among us, the sleaziest, and, as we have seen with special clarity over the past few days, quite possibly the man with the worst, most vulgar taste in the country, writes @djrothkopf.bsky.social.

The level of blatant corruption here is unprecedented in American history.
Itβs so extreme weβre not even able to process it.
But every American needs to understand what happened here. Congress must conduct hearings. Media must remain focused on it.
And someday it better get prosecuted.
