Susan Rice is right. Now Netflix must choose. The institutions and individuals who betrayed democratic principles will bear that mark of shame well into the future.

NEW: Veteran foreign policy expert Susan Rice does not issue warnings lightly.

Yet last week she said “it’s not going to end well” for corporations bending the knee to Trump.

Now, Netflix faces a decision that will determine which side of history it wants to be on, Marc Elias writes.

Taking stock of the Roberts court at 20—and the shadowy forces that built it "Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice."

“Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice.”

But maybe this time the Democrats can make it clear to constituents that anyone who sides with Trump obviously condones child sex trafficking.

If a brown singer at a halftime show offends you enough to protest but white men raping young girls doesn’t, then it isn’t family values you defend it’s white supremacy and sexual abuse.

Or yet another distraction from the Epstein files.

Patty O'Keefe, who was violently arrested while monitoring ICE activity, says one agent told her, "You guys got to stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead," referring to Renee Good.

Wooden footbridge scattered with leaves and Pine needles With the quote: we who have means and a Voice must use them to help those who have neither.

I took a picture on a rainy day of a little bridge I crossed. This quote seemed appropriate. “We who have means and a voice must use them to help those who have neither.”

Bubble is not a flavor.

Nearly a dozen LifeWise Academy Ohio programs have taken public school students on field trips to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter in Kentucky, which claims humans lived alongside dinosaurs and the Earth is only 6,000 years old.

But “hundreds of millions” is too much to spend on healthcare.

Oh my God. Regurgitating the MAGA racist propaganda talking points. You’re an illegal. You’re taking away jobs. Really? Door dashing? If they only knew how stupid they sound.

I’m a New Yorker and @schumer.senate.gov is not adequately representing his constituents. “That’s the way it’s always been done” IS NOT GOING TO WORK. WHAT THE HELL IS HE THINKING?

Come see me tomorrow!

Reflection of branches in a mud puddle

We’ve had a lot of rain lately.

I often lose my cool, and things like that never even enter my head, let alone come out of my mouth.

AND they just scrapped their DEI policies.

Meanwhile, both NBC and PBS reported “tens of thousands” of protesters at more than 1,000 rallies across the country. Somebody explain THAT math to me.
