SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26
NO - 41%
YES - 38%

Important insight. ALSO, I have no patience (and I mean ZERO) with people who say "they won't ban birth control." They will eventually try BECAUSE WHAT THEY WANT IS TO CONTROL YOUR BODILY AUTONOMY. We need to be proactive about BODILY AUTONOMY IN GENERAL.
MINNESOTA IS NOT OK. EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE TALKING ABOUT MINNESOTAโฆ THEY ARE LITERALLY FEEDING FAMILIES THROUGH UNDERGROUND RAILROAD STYLE ROUTES THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND APPARENTLY HELICOPTERS AND DRONES FLY OVERHEAD CONSTANTLY EVEN THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.
During the lockdown we started practicing The Interval, as in the period of time between too much coffee and cocktail time. This has a worthy application in the Time of Horrors as well. Over a martini we might say, for example, โwell, we survived The Interval once again"
Yes, sometimes I hear people say that cruelty is the point, but I donโt believe it. I think controlling any opposition is the point. By whatever means.
Pramila Jayapal was one of the minority of democrats who recently voted against the bill continuing to fund ICE. She is always on the right side of things. Glad to have her as my rep
I donโt want to hear anything from an elected official unless itโs a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.
If youโre not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.

Thatโs a garbage take. This shit is not inevitable. Nothing is. Donโt use it. Turn it off. Say no. Sabotage shit. Be the voice of dissent in every room pitching AI โsolutionsโ. Even the humans behind it know itโs trash.
When you focus on the regular people showing up magnificently in all of their flawed beauty, it helps you to keep going.
I just bought it at a bookstore this weekend! Canโt wait to read it. Soon

Everyone in America needs to watch this video: To fuck the American people, Trump-loving postmaster Louis DeJoy has changed what a postmarked date means. Listen to this video to learn the insidious consequences and how it's designed to screw you. ๐ณ๐
We condemn the scandalous US visa ban on former EU Commisioner Breton and digital activists. Protecting democracy isnโt censorship. โ๐ผ
Disinformation isnโt free speech. Europe wonโt take lessons from those undermining democracy and free speech.
Here in Europe we set our own laws. ๐ช๐บโ๐ผ

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we
have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.
We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn
Per NY Timesโs Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsiโs email to her โ60 Minutesโ colleagues in full:
Since Iโm getting โwhat did I missโ from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus
Censorship. Bari Weiss

The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney today was a vile act of antisemitic terror. I mourn those who were murdered and will be keeping their families, the Jewish community, and the Chabad movement in my prayers. May the memories of all those killed be a blessing. While we are still waiting for all the facts to emerge, what we already know is devastating. At least 11 dead, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who held deep ties to Crown Heights. At least 29 injured. Another Jewish community plunged into mourning and loss, a holiday of light so painfully reduced to a day of darkness. This attack is merely the latest, most horrifying iteration in a growing pattern of violence targeted at Jewish people across the world. Too many no longer feel safe to be themselves, to express their faith publicly, to worship in their synagogues without armed security stationed outside. What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too. On Bondi Beach today, as men with long guns targeted innocents, another man ran towards the gunfire and disarmed a shooter. Tonight, as Jewish New Yorkers light menorahs and usher in a first night of Hanukkah clouded by grief, let us look to his example and confront hatred with the urgency and action it demands. When I am Mayor, I will work every day to keep Jewish New Yorkers safeโon our streets, our subways, at shul, in every moment of every day. Let this be a purpose shared by every New Yorker, and let us banish this horrific violence to the past.
Thatโs the real question isnโt it
