Hello @support.bsky.team

I heard from Sarah Kendzior @sarahkendzior.bsky.social that her account was suspended.

Can you please look into this and reinstate her account? She’s a published author and scholar on authoritarianism. Her presence here is valuable.

Yo, @support.bsky.team, bring back @sarahkendzior.bsky.social.

#Steelers The standard is Tomlin’s. There should have been a coaching change in Pittsburgh after Tomlin failed to reach a SB with the killer B’s. Instead, the futility goes on, and on, and on. This is not on Tomlin, who has been outplayed in the playoffs for at least 10 years. This is on Rooney.

In a healthy democracy, these party leaders would have been out on their asses 20+ years ago instead of just forcing us to watch as they physically rot into decrepitude

Republicans are gonna table that ACA vote on the Friday before Christmas then fly with no ground delays to Harlan Crow's estate where they'll hunt cancer patients for sport.

Opinion | The sandwich thrower was wrong. But Jeanine Pirro was, too. To establish a forcible assault, jurors were required to find that Dunn caused “reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm.” That allegation was laughable.

Sandwich verdict wasn’t jury nullification. It was failure to prove the required “reasonable fear of physical injury” in a case where the agent was wearing A BULLETPROOF VEST. The only crime was the waste of resources on this case. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily.

Don’t nobody tell me that (white collar) crime doesn’t pay.

Another host, Eugene Daniels, asked Mr. Cuomo what he meant by diversity being a “weakness.” “Diversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan,” Mr. Cuomo said, mistaking Mr. Daniels for his co-host Jonathan Capehart, both of whom are Black.

You can't make this up.

Must read.

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

Next time a Republican claims this is a “Democrat Shutdown,” they should be reminded that Russell Vought, the president’s top budget adviser, encouraged the GOP in Congress to shut down the government because it’s easier to dismantle the government when it is closed. He's on record liking shutdowns.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

I saw Bad Boy Bill and Richard Vission b2b once and it was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

John Roberts and his miserable excuse for a high court of justice are presiding over a great disassembling of the United States and the rare American experiment in government by its people. It began with Citizens United and it continues relentlessly. This is a second civil war in slow motion.

It is, and thank you for highlighting it.

Why Trump would be perfect for an honorary U-M doctoral degree Awarding Trump an honorary doctoral degree would be an opportunity to recognize the long way the University has walked in less than two years. U-M juniors may still remember times when the campus code...

On the other hand a steak now costs 50% more than pre-pandemic, so…
I was window shopping for prime rib (for Christmas) a couple of weeks back and could not find a piece for less than $145 (used to spend about $100 a couple of years ago). So I have some trouble feeling bad for American ranchers.
