If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

I heard that there was an earlier version of the Bible where the forbidden fruit was a vegetable but they had to change it because no one wanted to eat vegetables. They taste so frigging bad Adam and Eve wouldn't eat vegetables even if it did give them the knowledge of good and evil.

Women are watching abusive dynamics play out on the national stage and for many it feels very, very familiar to what they’ve experienced regularly— I hope midterms are a referendum

I could barely stand to listen to Trump address military brass yesterday. It was triggering. He sounded like an abuser. You can laugh if you want to. You can clap if you want to. You can leave if you want to, but you’ll lose your rank. I’m positive every woman recognized that language.

The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

Sometimes, I am absolutely shaken that important morning news airtime is devoted to covering pickleball while the White House is creating concentration camps, an oligarchy, a police state and fascism all around us. Shook. He’s killing us, but look at that pickleball.

I’m not a strategist, but I have been involved in GOP-dominated state politics for about a decade now. We can’t squeeze another blue vote out of Kansas City or St. Louis or Springfield. Democrats need to go into rural spaces and start organizing Democrats in those spaces.

If the Epstein files were actually finally released in full, it would not matter. We already know what’s in there. We already know WHO is in there. The victims would not get justice. The criminals would not be held accountable. The cult would close their eyes and ears as required.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

(1/3) A string of Northern CA counties have recently passed or called for emergency resolutions asking the state to give local sheriffs the power to kill wolves. These actions are concerning on many levels, + these counties continue to churn out misinformation (+ blatant lies) about wolves.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

We all know what the constitution says: 2 terms. The fascist regime knows it too. The real problem is that they don’t CARE. They’ve been so far beyond the constitution and the law for so long, without the media daring to utter “unconstitutional,” that they believe they are now 100% unaccountable.
