“It just really is distressing to me that people can’t do the math and realize that Trump was the president when Paul was arrested—and that he was the president for the next two years." My interview with Paul Whelan's sister about politics and grief:

You tweeted a link to a homophobic conspiracy theory on a fake news website about an attack on the Speaker’s husband. You then quietly deleted the tweet, without explanation or apology. Does that count as something ‘in particular’?

No matter what happens in 2024, it is impossible to quantify how much damage Trump has done to America by constantly amplifying and bringing into the US conservative ‘mainstream’ such loathsome, far-right, once-fringe figures. The genies are out of the fascist bottles.

$1.2 billion for a Texas active shooter training facility and drill program. Zero dollars and zero new laws to actually prevent active shooters from getting a gun in the first place.

Every time I get an “up to ____ percent off” sale email I think I get a small taste of what nonpolitical people feel like when they see a political ad. Gotta fish for the truth somewhere on their site.

Iowa and New Hampshire are great states—but they have held their spot as first-in-the-nation since 1972. Our party and nation have changed a lot since then. It’s time our primary calendar reflects our diversity and values. (Thanks

As many have pointed out, Twitter serves as today’s “digital news wire” and recreating that is essential to a competitor platform’s success. Only if news organizations migrate to Mastodon (even if they keep posting on Twitter) will that platform truly grow.

Some good news from Arizona: voters approved a ballot initiative that will make Dreamers eligible for in-state tuition. Credit goes to the organizers who shared their families' stories and assembled a bipartisan coalition of supporters.

Donald Trump failed Americans in so many ways as president. He is not fit to hold public office, and if he runs in 2024, he will be defeated again.
