CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical.
My ask: cancel your Paramount/Warner subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able.

🇺🇸 🏒 Captain hilary knight : “The joke was distasteful & unfortunate— Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior. It's not my responsibility… It’s a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats.”
Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."
“I’m doing this so my granddaughters will have the future that their grandmothers had.”
Retirees are mobilizing to defend democracy—and the benefits literally show up in their DNA.

“A curtain of darkness is settling over our nation. And it’s getting ever harder to avoid connecting the authoritarian dots,” Peter Wehner argues: https://theatln.tc/HCsgbCVd
Sen. Schumer: What's Trump doing? He's busy building his ballroom, dancing in Malaysia, sending $40 billion to Argentina, $170 million in luxury jets for Kristi Noem. They have money for that & not for healthcare. It's a disgrace.
Yes, it is!

The most vocal Christians never mention the Beatitudes. They demand the 10 Commandments be posted in public buildings. That's Moses; not Jesus. No one demands the Beatitudes be posted anywhere.

Giant copy of the Constitution being carried down Pennsylvania Avenue.
Trump was caught on a hot mic arranging a meeting between a foreign head of state and Eric Trump, who runs the Republican's family business.
Isn’t this exactly the sort of thing GOP members of Congress used to care about? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
New and illegal #ForeverWars and a hyperfocus on beards and weight seems to be supercharging the exodus of some of our best and brightest officers. The latest example:
Each of us swore an oath to the Constitution. We are all watching what President Trump is doing with the uniformed military.
As people who have served, it’s important to speak out.
So on 10/18, let's do what we do best. Wear the red, white & blue. Wave the flag. Peacefully.
"I believed the Constitution brought the country more success than failure, and I believed our presidents took their oaths to it seriously," writes Doug Krugman, who served for 24 years in the United States Marine Corps.
"With President Trump, I no longer believe that."
How fashy do you have to be for the Washington Post to refuse to sign your pre-clearance policy? www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Respect to those who got here first.
That @JoeBiden put out this magnanimous & gracious statement AFTER all the horrible, dishonest things Trump said about Biden today, says so much about who Joe Biden is as a person. And reminds us all once again of what an utterly horrible, small, bad, & insecure person Trump is.
Dr. Jane made an indelible mark on our understanding of chimpanzees and other species, and also of humankind and the environments we all share.
She inspired curiosity, hope, and compassion in countless people, and paved the way for many others.

Our troops didn't sign up to intimidate their fellow Americans and be pawns in Trump's political theater.
Shame on Republicans for being complicit in this abuse of our military.
All hail VICTOR!!! He's a real-life hero whose selflessness & courage is an inspiration to us all.
Wishing you a complete & speedy recovery.
I salute you, sir! 🫡
basically a generational cohort split here where certain younger people intuitively grasp the irony poisoned context, and if you aren't already up to speed, very hard to explain
a friend and I have been debating whether the alleged Kirk shooter was either a "dirtbag left cumtown chapo stupidpol poster" or if he was an "irony poisoned, terminally online, neonazi groyper type" given the gun casings, which shows just how impenetrable this is going to be for MSM
WATCH — Sen. @ossoff.senate.gov : "It's been extraordinary to see the Speaker of the House reduced to lying in order to cover up sex crimes.”
He adds that RFK JR. must resign.
This week’s actions are the latest in a pattern showing RFK Jr. disregard for science, public health, and the federal workers who keep this country safe from multiple health threats.
Nurses demand he resign or be fired immediately as head of HHS.

Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.
Judge Sooknanan: I am trying to do the best I can to fulfill my obligation as an Article III judge. I appreciate you all showing up today, and I particularly appreciate the government's representation. But I'm going to put it on the record again, just so there's absolutely no ambiguity...
Judge Sooknanan: "These children are going to be deplaned. They're going to be returned to ORR custody. And no attempts will be made to remove them from ORR custody and remove them to Guatemala, in light of my order, while these preliminary emergency proceedings are pending."
