I can envision a scenario where Maga/Trump blames Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil infrastructure for the high gas prices in the U.S.

So who’s got a projector for that #KennedyCenter tarp? I’m sure someone has those Epstein files projections.
I highly recommend watching the Livestream. It's a victory for our democracy and a historic moment.

My brilliant wife just made the astute observation that Murder She Wrote is just Scooby Doo for grown ups.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.
Witnessing southern states rush to dismantle black voting power is truly truly some heartbreaking shit to behold
Bianco keeps doing "all Californians believe... ' thing. Cheap little trick for a guy that doesn't appear to be in any way qualified to be the governor of the largest state in the country.
Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.
Great day for Democracy. Bad day for MAGA and Putin. Let's have a lot more of these.
Current mood on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Impossibly beautiful. I also found myself audibly telling someone in the crowd to STFU during LaFaro's solo on Alice in Wonderland. If only those people knew what they were witnessing and that he'd leave this world a week and a half later. #jazzsky
Even if you don’t normally stop what you’re doing to watch video, you’ll want to see Professor Scheppele explain what we can learn about protecting our own upcoming elections by watching Orbán’s machinations ahead of the Sunday election there. Essential viewing! open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Man Child is an under-appreciated Herbie Hancock album. And it comes with a free side of Stevie Wonder. You can't go wrong.

With more Epstein files hitting the street I'm guessing we can expect bombs dropping on Iran any minute now.
News cycles are being manipulated to make people think a problem has been solved when it hasn’t. Bovino removed didn’t change anything but people have been tricked into thinking it did, so they move on. Same as it was. Know this. The situation in MN is as bad as it’s always been. Don’t forget them.
Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.
If you have the means, please remotely support local businesses in Minneapolis. One way is to place an order from one of their many excellent independent bookstores (or make one of them the store you support on @libro.fm )

These words demand attention. “In a real sense this is holy ground, consecrated by blood spilled here. The cost is high, and so I had to be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurled… I think we’re at a defining moment for our country…” ~ Rev Warnock Take a moment, so much more…
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.
