4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.

The richest man owns X. The second richest man owns The Washington Post. The third and fifth richest men control Google. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And the eighth richest man now owns both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Something that shouldn’t be forgotten when the Trump 2 era ends is how many people with power and influence showed themselves to be completely craven

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

The NYT is ok with extremist ideology as an anecdote in a profile—but highly allergic to any deeper examination of the ideology itself. No one gets to write an op-ed explaining any of this. That’s not allowed. But a billionaire can drop it in a quote as a passing comment.

Years ago I used to say that Elon would be remembered as one of history's greatest monsters because he knew he could solve world hunger and chose not to. Then he decided to make everything so much worse, deliberately. The scale of death he is responsible for is difficult to grasp.

A product like this has no pro-social function, and it doesn't need to be reliable. The existence of the tech creates plausible deniability to violate rights even when there is extensive evidence that it is wrong. This is the system working as intended.

Democrats caved and/or facilitated this monopolization of practically every major media property in the US into the hands of a MAGA fascist psychopath. If the US had an opposition party, each of its presidential contenders would would vow to dissolve this monopoly by any means necessary.

what keeps me up at night is these guys have basically never received real pushback and they still lost their minds and shredded the federal government's regulatory capacity when employees started griping too much in the company slack. What if you actually arrested one of them for their crimes

Cornell University treating Gaza protestors more harshly than gang rapists is a real statement of values. It’s almost like violent domination by the powerful is the core belief of leadership.

this is it, the single worst take on music i’ve ever read in my life
Yep. It's fine to have not heard Choosin' Texas or any other song. But too many think it's a cool cognoscente move to profess ignorance of/disdain for "country crap"
The Nashville industrial complex makes the smartest pop music, period. Wit & craft are the defining Music Row values. Don't be a rube

Marissa's Rolling Stone piece made clear she knew why you may not have heard
"Choosin' Texas," 2026's biggest hit.
Her question was, why be aggressively
*proud of it? Sadly, she overstated it in that out-of-context quote. But all the over-the-top/"country sucks" reactions mostly support her point.

it might be take a few election cycles to find someone who can rally everyone like trump did but it doesn't really matter, there's no "fever" to "break," this is just who the party is now. it's why you can't simply "turn the page" on trump or whatever dumb bullshit the losers are pushing now

“Jeffrey Clemmons, Ramos' campaign manager, told KVUE's media partners at the Austin American-Statesman that Ramos was detained while walking his dog at around 8:50 a.m. According to Clemmons, the state troopers, many who arrived in unmarked vehicles, did not show Ramos a warrant for his arrest.”

Twitter not laughing at your jokes, buy Twitter. HBO owns streaming rights to an unflattering exposé, buy a piece of HBO. Government regulations threaten your businesses, buy the government. Elon Musk seems determined to be a case study in the problem with unfettered wealth.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

ICE cannot do what it’s doing without local law enforcement. They need their manpower and infrastructure. That means if you want to stop ICE you are going to have to confront police collaboration and police power. I’m sorry but progressive hopes of avoiding this conflict are a recipe for failure.
