I dunno if any legislators follow me on here, but if you do: Can we please have some laws forbidding this? With teeth? Penalties that hurt the people who ignore them?

This is how NY Times covered Karoline Leavitt joining Fox News today: "Ms. Leavitt, 29 and a steely and nimble presence at the White House lectern". Steely and nimble??? Never once did they mention her constant lies and awful treatment of journalists.

I can imagine non-critics not knowing Rectify because I believe we were the only ones who saw it. But what a beautiful thing it was.

What I want white folks to understand is when you let your friends, business partners, elected officials, consultants talk about us this way, we don’t trust you either. So ask Walmart & Hewlett Packard about the ppl they pay as lobbyists.

Did you read the piece? She tried, repeatedly, to see her daughter’s work, tried to reach teachers, etc. I might disagree with her choice, but there’s no way I’d say she didn’t put in the effort.

You can tell we're a country of idiots by how easily we're convinced to debate the 1% of trans people who want the right to live their lives authentically and safely and don't negatively impact our lives instead of the billionaires who spend every day making our lives genuinely tangibly worse.

Equatorial Guinea is a dictatorship run by the same man since 1978, with his children running large portions of the state now. We paid this dictatorship millions of dollars to let us deport random people there. Our money was used for this inhumanity.

I spend too much time pondering what act from Trump would be so insane that the NYT would have a front page story about the president's insanity. But given all that hasn't gotten that response yet, it gets dark.

Trump told 9/11 families that he was rescued from the rubble of the World Trade Center -- an obvious and shocking lie. Here's how the New York Times reports it. This is like reporting George Wallace's "segregation forever" speech as "Governor speaks at inauguration. Some remarks controversial."

New York Times:
Trump Honors 9/11
Emergency Personnel in
Washington
President Trump awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously to a volunter firefighter who saved numerous people. He also added to a disputed account of his actions that day.

You know how an armed man attacked Amy Acton, the Dem nominee for governor in Ohio? ABC World News Tonight Sunday devoted a minute to the story, but even during a slow Labor Day weekend, the producers of CBS and NBC's Sunday night newscasts didn't think the assault was worth covering--at all.

I can’t wait to read the NYT op-ed from Renee Good’s wife about grief on the one year anniversary of her death. Surely the NYT will extend the same grace to Becca Good—whose partner died protesting against state power—as it has to Erica Kirk—whose partner died defending white supremacy

Watching Furious, blown away by the lead actors. Must quibble, however, with Catherine’s weapon of choice. AFAIK there is no injectable sedative that, stabbed randomly thru trousers into thigh, would immediately incapacitate a large adult.
