Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."

This isn’t a conspiracy. It’s a cover-up.
Look at these maps.
Thousands of mound sites.
mapped, documented, erased.
Not taught in schools.
Not shown in museums.
Not protected. Not preserved.
They bulldozed civilizations and built parking lots.
And we’re just supposed to move on?

Goosebumps! People often ask, is Shakespeare still relevant? Here is a great example, from the Steven Colbert Show, in which Sir Ian McKellen delivers an extraordinary speech. Shakespeare’s words are timeless, urgent and important.

Some of you may be considering sitting this election out, or voting for a third-party candidate, because you strongly disagree with Kamala Harris about Gaza.
This thread is for you 🧵

Folks, we’ve been here before. We know how this will end. It’s no mystery what happens next.
I will never begrudge anyone who offers a good faith critique of elected officials, even ones I really love, because good faith criticism is essential to a healthy democracy.

A few years ago, I had a cool idea: what if I used Amazon wishlists to get homeless people in Vegas what they needed? I could create lists of things they needed and my followers on social media could buy it and it'd get shipped to my house so I could hand it out.

This Democratic ad by @WayToWinAF should air on primetime television nationwide.
This is what 2024 is about.

This man will never find back to his former life.
The war must be stopped soon and those who are responsible for it must be deleted from the surface of this earth as well as those who support it.

Republicans are so flabbergasted over their inability to connect with young voters it’s almost comical. You wanna know why they hate you and upwards of 90% of them will never vote for you @GOP? I’ll break it down for you (Thread)

I just found out one of my sources got killed.
I'm sad, but I'm not gonna wax poetic about how he was a good guy. I’m not sure he was.
But he was a great example of how broken the system is. And he did a lot to help expose that even without knowing it. THREAD:

2022 has been a lesson in never judging a book, nor a country, by its cover. At the end of February, while the city of Kharkiv was still under attack, I met 21 yo, Eugene Gromadskyi. At the time I had no idea what he, nor Ukraine, were capable of. bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-…

MAGA Republicans want women arrested for having an abortion. This is what that looks like.

🧵1. A post on FB…
“I am 14 and I’m struggling in algebra class. When I ask for help, the male teacher says, ‘I’m not surprised girls aren’t that good at algebra’.
I am 18 and go to my first fraternity party with girlfriends…

President Biden's announcement today about student loan debt relief has upset some people who believe it's unfair. I acknowledge that resentment, and also, while we're on the subject of unfairness, I have some thoughts for your consideration. (thread)
