Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

On the left, my warning from September 2024 about what Trump 2.0 would look like. On the right, recent headlines.
I wish I'd been wrong. But because Trump is following a classic authoritarian playbook, it’s up to state and local governments to push back on this tyranny while it’s still possible.

@lesliekarst.bsky.social love your vivid portrait of RBG's time at HL. I did more digging ... then the math. 1957-58 HLR was 56 men & 2 women. Ergo 56 of the 491 men in her class to the 2 of the 9 women that you mentioned. Ergo 22% of the women in her class made HLR that year & only 11% of the men.

Chronicle restaurant critic MacKenzie Chung Fegan went to the French Laundry for dinner.
Then Thomas Keller, one of the world's most famous chefs, asked her to leave.
