A president who refuses to send aid to states that didn’t vote for him, is a literally enemy of the state and the nation.

Former President Obama breaks out the tan suit once again.
More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are trans athletes in youth sports.
For teachers looking for the best writing project ever -- challenging my students to write a novel in a month was a total game changer. But how does one prepare for something rather daunting and so outside the norm of school projects? Here you go: nano2.org/posts/2026/n...
NaNoWriMo in the Classroom: Prep Tips for Teachers
“Write a WHAT, Mrs. Bradley?” “How long does it have to be?” “Can we write ANY story? Like, ANYTHING we want?!?” “Wait, what’s a novel?” It was early October, my students were well into our school rou...

Because some people apparently need reminding: politics is a game of addition, not subtraction. You will never win by purity testing people out of your coalition until you’re the only one left.
I love novel revision and I'm terrible at novel revision. For the NaNo 2.0 blog, I shared the 3 biggest mistakes I (repeatedly) make when trying to finish my fiction. nano2.org/posts/2026/m...
El-Sayed on Islamophobia: "That's the only play they got. They're gonna point at me, they're gonna point at my name, like, 'Wow, he's different.' That's the best you got? You can't actually talk about what you want to do? My name is not raising your gas prices. My name is now taking us to war."
Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
At the risk of ruining my mentions, I want to remind my centrist friends that “vote blue no matter who” also applies when Dems nominate a leftist. We need to be single focused on winning back the Senate. We cannot do that without Michigan.
OK so don't get me wrong-- I very much appreciate our national teachers union getting all members the meditation app Calm, for free --BUT --if your profession screams OMG THESE PEOPLE NEED AN ANTI-ANXIETY APP BECAUSE THEIR JOBS ARE BONKERS .. then the problem cannot just be solved by "breathing"
BREAKING: In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche for the Epstein Files, Judge Sullivan has just ordered Blanche to produce, in camera (in chambers), the UNREDACTED emails & documents, and Blanche must bring documentation supporting his representations the DOJ’s redactions are what he claims they are.
A federal judge just ordered all of the Epstein files to be turned over to him and DOJ must defend each redaction. This is solely because of Katie Phang’s lawsuit. Yay independent journalism! 👏

Holy shit. If you would have given me a million guesses I would not have guessed "USA Today sports opinion piece invokes Emmett Till."
Parker Molloy@parkermolloy.com · last mo.There's a paragraph in this piece that made my jaw drop www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
This should be a lightbulb moment for Democrats: You are free to run on this platform because Republicans are going to accuse you of it whether you do or not!
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Trump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."
once again I am asking for a democratic party that actually does what republicans claim they will do

$100 to any reporter who asks him, "so you're saying Capitol Police should've shot dead everyone who breached the Capitol on January 6?"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Homan on people getting killed by ICE: "It comes down to one simple fact -- these people failed to comply with law enforcement ... all they had to do is comply. If they did, they'd be alive today."
Something akin to the Nuremberg trials is basically the starting point to court my vote from here.
Ilhan Omar@ilhanmn.bsky.social · last mo.ICE has fatally shot 11 people since Donald Trump's second term began. These are not isolated incidents. They are the predictable result of a cruel, violent system. Abolish ICE.
Good for you. The rest of us have no choice but to remember the horrors this man inflicted on everyday Americans as he gleefully chipped away our rights. He’s played a huge role in trying to destroy this country. White washing history is not “putting things in perspective.”
Remember, after the Allies defeated Nazism, the very first person they hung for inciting genocide was Julius Streicher, the multimillionaire owner of a popular propaganda newspaper that chose "the Jews are our misfortune" as its slogan. I don't see how that language is different from Lyman Stone's.
Mark Joseph Stern@mjsdc.bsky.social · last mo.And by the way, it’s not an ad hominem attack to question whether NYT should publish someone who condemns an entire ethnic group as a “scourge on the republic.” It’s a fair question about why media helps launder and mainstream the views of a bigot who spreads disgusting, unapologetic racism.
where have all the gifs gone. Are we just not doing gifs anymore? Let's bring gifs back.
Cowards. That’s what they have in common with those in white hoods. Cowards, every one.
