Since Covid started, it became unfortunately apparent to me that this is a much crueler country than I knew. That we will sacrifice the vulnerable, we will abandon those in need, we will accept lies over truth for almost nothing in return. For the right to be cruel.
The sun rose where I am. I spent the night not sleeping in my hotel room. It was dark and slow and lonely.
I had thought if it happened it wouldn’t be as hard as last time. Because it would be less of a shock. But it was harder, actually, and for the same reason. No one went into this naively. This was chosen.
But now my people are checking in with me, and vice versa. The sun is up. I already feel less alone.
This is me checking in with you: you’re not alone and you’re NOT wrong. This is going to feel bad. It’s going to BE bad. But the sun rose. You deserve its warmth, every day, and we are already closer to a future in which this will be the fucked up past.
Take care of one another and yourself. See you tonight if that’s helpful to you.
My heart is breaking. 😭 Everything this woman said is spot-fucking-on. If America is going to survive and be "the shining city upon the hill" — the greed, selfishness, nihilism and hatred that is the ideology of Trump and MAGA fascism needs to be crushed. 🥺👇
@SethAbramson For what it’s worth, I live in Oklahoma City, and I’ve NEVER seen this many Dem political signs proudly displayed in front yards. I get it…this is somewhat-of-a-metro area…and things probably swing wildly the other way in more rural communities…but this feels like progress!

WATCH: "The term ‘misinformation’ doesn’t quite do enough to capture what is happening with one half of the American two-party system. Outright brazen, dangerous, ludicrous lies in denial of the most obvious reality, the one you can see before you," says @chrislhayes.
Fighting for kids to get free Bibles while fighting against those same kids getting free lunch is exactly the kind of religious hypocrisy Christians are called to stand against.
This is what it looks like to take the Lord’s name in vain.
Five years ago today, Scout became the First Dog of Minnesota.
We like to say he rescued us as much as we rescued him.
Let this be your reminder that there are lots of pets out there waiting to find their forever homes!

I. mean the asymmetry is obvious and stunning! There was literally NOTHING like this when Trump was convicted of 34 felonies! When a jury found him LIABLE FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT! Zero zip zilch nada. The big takeway from this last week is just how different things are.
Wow. A must-watch from Joy Reid on the immunity decision. “It’s above Joe Biden for me. I don’t care about his age…You’re now voting for your life. You must vote. Y’all better vote for your lives.” This is perfect. Everyone should watch & share this.
