How does a person like this sleep at night?
It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

New Washington Post editorial page motto: comfort the comfortable and afflict the afflicted.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
Look for large segments of the American news media, thirsty for war news, to instantly forget that the Trump regime lies to the public all the time.
Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win.
C'mon journalists. Do better. Part of the reason we're in the fix we're in is because journalism has too often not met the moment.
Pretty much the most important thing happening in the world right now.

I don’t like to romanticize the past but I think society was better when we shunned child molesters rather than make them president
Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests
This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”
It's straight from the fascist playbook to create chaos and then demand unquestioned authority to stop the chaos.
Yes, that's a pretty good summary of the situation.
“Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion.” It’s not a presidency – it’s a criminal heist after 77 million voters let him into the vault. (NYT gift link)
The University of Pennsylvania (Penn in Philly) should be thoroughly ashamed for admitting and graduating that man.
I'm attending Solar United Neighbors's event, “Plug-in Solar: Putting Power and Savings in the Hands of the People” - sign up now to j www.mobilize.us/solarunitedn...
The memorial speeches, both prepared and impromptu, were respectful, moving, and on target.
Eighty people lined up across the Toftrees overpass on Sunday, January 12th, in the bitter cold driving wind, to make our voices heard - ICE OUT! Travelers on I99 saw the sign: Be Brave Resist Tyranny.
My Stop the Presses newsletter calls for a dramatic change of tactics by major media to produce "radically truthful” news that defeats the right-wing disinformation industry. Right now, the media are getting slam-dunked by fascist liars. Here’s a thread with my 10 main points. 🧵🧵🧵
Refreshingly clear headlines from the WaPo, NYT
On Jan. 15, 1975, I and a partner founded The Observer, a weekly newspaper serving Mifflin County, PA. I was publisher and editor. I sold my share in 1978 and left but the paper kept on. On Dec. 31, 2025 it published its final issues, a run of 50 years and 50 weeks--2,650 issues.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, could you please establish an official NYC Mayor account on Bluesky and post everything your office is currently posting on X over here?
And please remove all city accounts from X, which has become a CSAM creation and distribution site?
No money for Musk, ever, please.
When the news media say the U.S. attack on Venezuela “raises legal questions,“ that’s code for “the president is violating the law, but no one is going to stop him.”
This is a big day for people who believe that might makes right. I am not one of those people.
Does a person who can't remember his user names and passwords really exist at all? Just asking for a friend.
The key question in American politics now is whether public disapproval of Trump will grow fast enough to save our democracy before Trump builds such a crushing dictatorship that public opinion no longer matters.
"Trump is an outright racist and he appeals to 10s of millions of US citizens who are also outright racists" is both fundamentally, obviously true ... and something that mainstream journalism has decided is impermissible to say.
“I think CNN should be sold,” Trump said. “Because the people that are running CNN right now are either corrupt or incompetent.”
A president doesn’t get to decide which news you watch.
But a dictator does.
