@BenWeiserNYT@WRashbaum Your reporting normalizes Trump admin’s violation of intl law when you write “ousted” and “captured” rather than “kidnapped” suggesting that the invasion of a sovereign nation is a legitimate exercise of power rather than the naked display of force by a superpower run amok.

There’s a lesson there.
WATCH Rep. Melanie Stansbury issue a fantastic, full-throated repudiation of Trump's mostly unqualified clown car cabinet, and Republicans' attempt at modern day McCarthyism.
No, the gentlelady will NOT yield. 🔥🔥🔥
🧵My heart is truly heavy right now in regards to a large swath of the Church in this nation. You may not like hearing me talk about it so much, but it is the greatest crisis of the faith I've seen in my lifetime. We have always fallen short in areas, no doubt. But what...
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
One thing I do worry about, is that the “solidarity” between “people of color” has been significantly damaged.
Watching Latinos chase model minority status has never sat *well* with black people, but this is a wound the Black community won’t soon forget.
White supremacy cannot be defeated unless we’re all in it together (obviously, a majority of white people are not gonna help).
But… this election *really shows* that a lot of other “people of color” do not want to defeat white supremacy, they want to join it.
Latino voters did not vote against their interests, if you understand that the person who gets into a treehouse has an “interest” in pulling up the ladder behind them.
Trump only promised to push the “bad” Latinos out of the tree… and they’re confident that doesn’t mean them.
I believe that the vast majority of people in this country are good and generous and honest and fair – and whether they are Democrats or Republicans or independents, they want those values reflected in their politics. That’s what we’ll get with @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz – two leaders who will work every day to make your lives better.
Former WaPost Executive Editor Marty Baron on paper's decision not to endorse in WH race:
"This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty. "

Gov. Walz: We just found out Trump had his branded Bibles printed in China. This dude will even outsource God. But hey, I don’t blame Trump for not noticing the ‘Made in China’ sticker. They put them on the inside, a part of the Bible that he’s never looked at

Nessel: By the way, I got a message for the Republicans and justices of the United States Supreme Court. You can pry this wedding band from my cold dead gay hand.
