A collaboration with @lizadonnelly.bsky.social tonight...
Trump’s rolling campaign of shakedown censorship, blackmail and purge has now felled the Late Show. But Stephen Colbert, a true-blue patriot and comic genius who skewers dunce-tyrants for a living, is irrepressible and invincible.
I’ll watch Stephen Colbert wherever he lands.
Have the audiobook…great reminder to start listening today. Thank you
Nailed it…sadly…
“Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
Let’s hope these words continue to ring true…
The cruelty is abhorrent and it is unfathomable that so many are willing participants.
Horrific
Thinking of the scene where Joslyn takes the hit and they talk out how she will resign in disgrace the following day. With this crew, it is all a performance and everyone has their part.
Both movies would make a great double header.
Oh this absolutely sucks. Carla Hayden was an amazing Librarian of Congress, and a *massive* improvement over her predecessor who was there forever and was terrible.
Important.
If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.
Robert Wolf on Fox News: "This big beautiful economy that actually was rolling pretty good with jobs and inflation coming down feels more like the Game of Thrones red wedding. I mean, it's not going well."
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
Their silence is deafening and telling.
This week the Trump Administration has threatened to shut down all Social Security offices and told seniors that if checks don't show up, they should shut up and not complain.
This is a plan. To destroy Social Security. Pay attention.

Walz: "It's so obscene that he would put a mock classroom -- we all know he's never been in one. He wouldn't last for a minute. He's surrounded by people who know nothing about education. They want to make this about bureaucracy and cutting. This is about children."
Jeffries: "The average Social Security recipient in the US receives about $65 a day in benefits. Elon Musk in his contracts with the federal government gets about $8 million a day. If they were really interested in waste, fraud, and abuse, they would start there ... but they're going after grandma"
Today, we honor the bravery and sacrifice of those who, 60 years ago, marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, risking everything for the right to vote and the promise of true freedom. Their courage paved the way, and it’s on us to keep pushing forward.
