You friend me, I friend you, we collaborate, share, meme, editorialize. Understand that all of it is extraordinarily powerful. Stick together, crew. Stick together. Every one of us is key and crux in this moment. You propagate my media, I propagate yours. Together we are a leftist resistance.

@markey.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov I know it's not your states involved, but c'mon! Could you do something about this? In Massachusetts, one of things we pay you for is to do something, including about manifest injustices.

This line from Ross Douthat’s final NYT column is something you see all the time from the soft-MAGA right. Sure, Trump’s *most* alarmist critics weren’t correct, but that’s basically true of every president. Trump’s *median* critic did in fact predict his presidency pretty accurately.

Trumpism has flailed and failed, it hasn't consolidated the kind of authoritarian power anticipated by its most alarmed opponents.

JKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.

2/ The biggest Muslim population on earth isn’t in the Middle East. It’s in South Asia: Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, over 500 million people combined. Indonesia alone is the largest Muslim majority country on the planet. The map most people carry in their head is just wrong.
