"I recently wrote that Trump was behaving like a mob boss. That comparison turns out to have been insulting to mob bosses everywhere.

Andrew Weissmann, a former lead prosecutor in Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel’s office, was asked on MSNBC about Trump’s attack on Judge Merchan and his family."

What’s your plans for the weekend?

Tell your kids about Ruby Bridges, the first black child at an all-white public elementary school in Louisiana.

She turned 66 this year.

She’s only 66.

66.

Thank you Elie Mystal.

He tweeted:

There's not going to be a change of venue. Certainly not to Staten Island. Shut up.

Jesus Christ, if #Trump posted "We can't get a fair trial unless we have it on the Moon" the media would start asking about the logistics of having an extraterrestrial trial.

Feel free to leave our beautiful city, Marjorie.

Speaking of Gotham City, you are not the joker, but you are a joke.

Sitting here 2.5 weeks after laparoscopic surgery admiring the prodigious glue in these surgical tape things called steri-strips that they put over stitches.

I suspect these things will still be stuck to me next winter. Could be handy to tape some spare change or keys to your body for emergencies. Maybe some snacks too.

Thank you, #Maddow, for covering the #nashville student walkout.

More like this please.

"I had stopped leaving my bed. I had stopped eating. I was dropping weight," Sen. Fetterman says in CBS interview. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sen-john-fetterman-on-depression-recovery-and-making-up-any-lost-time/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab8c&linkId=208098716

I know mastodon.social sometimes takes some hell for spammers/bad actors, but I have to recognize the great work the moderators have been doing lately. It’s a tough job on that large of an instance.

@mafeesh
There are many who are monitoring the fascists surfacing worldwide. They're all playing off of each other while we're still busy trying to get the American press to notice.
I'm convinced we're going to have to spread our message ourselves. No more waiting for the press to spread the word.
We're fighting for democracy. That's a battle we can't afford to lose.
A fucking big deal.

My friend Evan #Gershkovich is no spy. Just a brave reporter jailed in moscow

by Pjotr Sauer

Extract
As the immediate media storm following his arrest passes, it will be of paramount importance to keep Evan in the spotlight and to push for his immediate release.

For years, Evan did everything he could to tell the story of modern russia. It is now our turn to keep the light shining on him. I want to have my friend back.

Wait a minute! No one mentioned #Asstodon to me? Nor #Saturbray ? Pulling this one from the files. A days-old Allie excited about her new life. #LifeOnTheFarm #Donkey

Sprained my ankle a couple days ago while walking dogs in the woods. Tripped over a stupid rock, ruptured one or two ligaments, and ate dirt. Farm hands were off at the bar, and I was in a cellular dead zone, so nobody could hear my pitiful calls for help. Ended up hobbling a mile back to the bunkhouse on pure chutzpah (and the fact that I knew there was a bottle of champagne on ice in the kitchen). My takeaway is this: always have a bottle of champagne chilling in your kitchen. You never know when it might save your life.

All of Evan Gershkovich’s reporting is now free to read on The #WSJ

He was arrested in russia while on a reporting trip and accused of spying, making him the first #American #journalist detained in russia on espionage charges since the Cold War.

His last article was

russia’s Economy Is Starting to Come Undone

Investment is down, labor is scarce, budget is squeezed. Oligarch: ‘There will be no money next year’

A breathless world waits to find out whether Donald Trump can spell “indictment.”
