John Boyd Jr, a Soybean Farmer just told Katy Tur on @msnowreports.bsky.social that the WH had a meeting of Farmers, and that he was denied entry because the WH was turning away from Black Farmers for "DEI" and that it was turning to Corporate Farms, and helping South African Farmers get citizenship

A fuck you to Jeff Bezos for demolishing one of America’s most iconic and important newspapers, The Washington Post. The paper I grew up with.

"And even as we produce much excellent work, we too often write from one perspective, for one slice of the audience."

The fact that WaPo's executive editor wrote this today illustrates that its leadership still does not understand that they are entirely responsible for destroying the Post.

@kenmartin.bsky.social Wanted to make sure you saw this study from Swarthmore just released today.

Extremely timely, given the DNC's just-announced initiative to target nonvoters.

This study could help you make sure you're doing the right things to bring people back to the polls.

Exactly—people need to understand the implicit threat here, especially given that we live in a society where we’re regularly told that unhoused, disabled, or out-of-work people don’t deserve to live.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

The "Roberts Court" is already stained forever. There's no walking that back.

The NDAs are just an attempt to contain the ongoing and intentional damage short term.
For a long time John Roberts was supposed to be the Supreme Court's savviest *politcian*, in terms of preserving its image while pushing his conservative agenda. But "I helped Trump win and now I'm locking this place down" is pretty good evidence he lost the thread www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...
