@LastWeekTonight
Thank you for your June 2026 show on British politics and the upcoming by-election. Very unusual for a US show to so focus on British politics. It was extremely informative. And while it was off course funny, it was a wonderful learning experience for me.

@InvisiblesMuros What about liking a tweet? Does that work like a 4352335?

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

This @ProjectLincoln ad really rattled Donald Trump.

Please be nice to this 77-year-old who’s heading to prison. Do NOT retweet!

I was with the Milwaukee News Guild in the 80s and 90s (of the past century) and was thrilled to meet a dynamic, vibrant group from today's Local 51. Fruits of long-ago labors and they are beautiful.

Thanks to all who came out to our book club event on News for All the People last night, including former president/biz reporter @jacknorman100! We had a lively discussion with community members about racism in media, the consolidation of local news, and the fight to save it. ✊

@AdamMcCalvy Musical chairs. There are always more players available than there are seats

While Dane Co. went 82%-to-18% for Protasiewicz, she would have won even if you take away all of her Dane County votes (196K) and allow Kelly to keep his (43K). Narratives that the left’s wins are all Dane County are false.

[Jack Norman @jacknorman100]

Maybe not. With MAGA having two-thirds in the Senate, they can impeach and remove any state official including Supreme Court justices, governor, AG etc. Don’t put it past them.

This is, maybe not good

Is this the delayed re-emigration of Venezuelans?

[Joshua Collins @InvisiblesMuros]

547,000 Colombians left the country in 2022, a more than 100% increase from the previous 20 year average

@litwicki @InvisiblesMuros The 'liberals' are with the team that Biden is with. Not with Biden but with the team. It's being a part of the team despite all the a-holes on the team. There's a "practical realization" that "solidarity with a camp" is demanded. In USA that means choosing Camp R or Camp D.

Terrific piece on how Petro's attempt to move away from the militaristic strategies of his presidential predecessors hasn't yet reduced Colombia's awful rural violence:
How peace efforts are making a difference (or not) in Colombia: https://t.co/HnPVQ09qUE (@newhumanitarian)

@natevomhof Looks like Colombia.

@gaufre @newsguild Without Bruce Nelson there would not be a NewsGuild at Milw. Journal Sentinel. I was the founding president for the union in the 80s and 90s and Bruce was our constant mentor, inspiration and bargainer for our first contracts. A gentle giant with wit, grace, generosity and smarts

@Adita_Ferrer And a splendid book it is.

U.S. local newspapers are dying at a rate of 2 per week. By 2025, a third of them will be gone. If you’re not convinced that’s a doomsday-level threat to democracy, read this state-by-state list of what local reporters uncovered in 2022. It’s a sample of what we stand to lose.

Mastodons lived in herds and were predominantly forest-dwelling animals.
