She is a survivor, she was raped and impregnated at 19 by a music producer and is now an advocate. This is how leaders act! They don’t call 12 year old victims liars!

“So it appears the “Tommy” who questioned El-Sayed was no ordinary citizen of small-town Caro, Michigan, but a long-serving right-wing operative tied to Josh Hawley, Bobby Jindal, & one of the most influential Christian Nationalists in the country.” Excellent reporting from @marisakabas.bsky.social
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · last wk.SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.
A record crowd at the #IndianaNativePlantSociety annual conference yesterday to hear Doug Talamy speak!
Marion County Clerk Kate Sweeney Bell announced that county election officials are pushing back against viral social media posts falsely claiming that ballots marked by poll workers will be disqualified. ⛓️💥: https://tinyurl.com/m63uek5e
This answer is fantastic and I’m glad to see the reference to Kennedy.
Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · last wk.This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.
Today, during the peak of our national day of action, the No Kings Coalition Instagram account was taken down and is no longer accessible. This is a clear attempt to silence the No Kings Coalition & prevent future communications. Don't let them silence No Kings. Spread the word.
Tim Snyder: The term that I came up with… is superpower suicide. I just can’t see an example of a major country losing so much power so quickly as the United States under Trump. We’ve encouraged our enemies and we’ve made our allies not trust us.
"Your IQ test came back negative" made me choke on my coffee...🤣🤣🤣
9 years ago, 60 people went to a concert in Las Vegas and never came home. The pain hasn’t faded and neither has the inaction. As the Supreme Court considers challenges to assault weapons bans, remember this: Doing nothing costs lives. We cannot afford more tragedy.
I served in multiple authoritarian states, both communist and otherwise--Russia, Vietnam, Iraq, the Sultanate of Oman, and Ukraine before the Orange Revolution brought in democracy. One common thread among all of them is government spending on propaganda to glorify the dictator/sultan.
White House airs another government-funded ad, this time with Trump warning of ‘final battle’ | CNN Politics
The Trump administration is set to launch another overtly political campaign ad funded by taxpayer dollars, attacking the “fake news media” and “the sick political class that hates our country.”

Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister: "In 2015, we had a deal, we remained committed to that deal, it was the US that withdrew with zero justification"
Other news organizations should leave the White House. They can of course still cover the administration--almost none of their coverage depends on being there physically. But they shouldn't stay there, raising their hands dutifully in the briefing room, as if it's business as usual.

Dr. Mar@boldnewme.bsky.social · last mo.More than anything, I’m profoundly disappointed. This whole situation is just so disgraceful.
Congress can’t indict people. They can have hearings and impeachment trials. But not criminal trials. Please don’t expect criminal trials and then blame democrats when you don’t get them. Midterms are step one. We have to win in 2028 and add seats to SCOTUS to hold people criminally accountable.
