Woodrow Wilson pardoned his brother-in-law, Hunter deButts.

Bill Clinton pardoned his brother, Roger.

Donald Trump pardoned his daughter’s father-in-law, Charlie Kushner. And just appointed him Ambassador to France.

But tell me again how Joe Biden “is setting precedent”? 🤣🤣

The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos.

Everyone I know who's had a baby has said it made them even *more* pro-choice because pregnancy and birth is so difficult even when the pregnancy is wanted.

President Biden continues to call on Congress to give public school teachers a raise.

They deserve it.

Holy cow. Seth Meyers spent 90 seconds on his show last night reminding his viewers everything that Donald Trump has said I done & it is absolutely perfect. This is how it’s done & we need so much more of it. Watch & share this.

The same state of Alabama which just executed Kenneth Smith via nitrogen gas asphyxiation would like you to know that frozen embryos are “children” because as per the Bible, human life cannot be destroyed without incurring the wrath of a Holy God.

As the horrific details come in about victims killed and wounded by a white man with a semiautomatic rifle in a college town in Maine tonight, remember that THIS IS TERRORISM. We're giving weapons of war to civilians with no guardrails and then setting them loose on society.

If you'd like to see how absolutely nothing has changed in the conversation around Israel & Palestine despite decades of violence, here's Jon Stewart doing a bit that could literally air today without a single change.

Good afternoon (or morning, or evening). I went dark yesterday, really dark. But I managed to sleep and I have some clarity about the Al Ahli hospital massacre that I want to share with you. I'll only tweet this rambling thread today and then log off. Please read and share.

How can we memorialize the story of American slavery at a time when the teaching of this history is increasingly under attack? Check out this new idea from Bryan Stevenson of @eji_org, who is building a new space for "truth telling." https://t.co/i16kXJ3ZzX
