The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

I'd kill for news sites to have a chronological tab for stories. It's absurd in this age that they offer every organization option but this. Yes, I do want to read about Ratko Mladic's death right after the notice about the boil order! Just for subsbcribers, maybe? @nytimes.com @theguardian.com

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Rape is the core of the MAGA ideology, the metaphor of dominance and degradation that motivates all their actions, and their rhetoric descends very quickly from the symbolic register down into a literal one.

"One of the most important, and most overlooked, functions of protest is to prevent the dreaded 'spiral of silence,' which can begin when people wrongly believe that their own point of view is not widely shared," Betsy Levy Paluck writes:

The Most Overlooked Value of Political Protest

Small acts of staying quiet may seem merely polite or indifferent, but they can easily spiral.

KC-Saint Paul leg of holiday driving: This, by Anishinabe writer Marcie Rendon. The women of the Red Pine Reservation fight back against the erasure of the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, but they are flesh-and-blood and heart and brains. It's a character-driven suspense novel. Great! #booksky

The cover of Marcie R. Rendon's "Where They Last Saw Her," a gorgeous portrait of a beaten face backdropped by woods. Beside the cover is a bookmark with directions to Louise Erdrich's bookstore, Birchbark Books in Minneapolis.
