I started watching this full of hope, thinking maybe it would be the beginning of a restoration of a public editor like @sulliview.bsky.social. Instead @patrickhealy.bsky.social displayed shocking defensiveness. We are //still// arguing over the word “lie”??Enraging, tbh. JFC

🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

Sharing this because NYers who are unenthusiastic about casting a vote for Kathy Hochul need to know that the alternative, Bruce Blakeman, is a genuinely evil piece of shit. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/n...

I know it’s not a secret on here that the Prez and his cronies love the Nazi playbook, but the step-by-step descent into evil described in Rebecca Donner’s excellent book matches the current trajectory almost exactly. Just got to the part where the Nazis start behesding their political opponents

As we elders, our daughters, and our granddaughters continue the fight for power, equality, and respect, we hold you in our hearts with love and gratitude. Rest in peace and power, Gloria Steinem. 🤍

She challenged sexist assumptions, helping women develop a sense of self-worth and gain a measure of equality at work, at home and in society at large.

There’s so much awful stuff happening and I get that this isn’t the worst but kudos to @ronlieber.bsky.social for staying on this story about the latest institutions (Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab) caving to the corrupt regime.

UPDATE: Bank of America/Merrill Lynch and Daffy have NOT cut off the Southern Poverty Law Center the way Schwab/Fidelity/Vanguard did. BOA/ML stance: The IRS hasn't taken away SPLC's tax exempt status. S/F/V stance: Well, they've been indicted and that's our standard. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...
