we fucking loved it, even when there was basically nothing on it, and let me tell you something else: we loved it because of human connection, human diversity, human creativity. WE DON'T NEED A SINGLE THING ANY OF THESE COMEMIERDAS HAVE MADE AND TRIED TO SELL US IN ORDER TO HAVE A GREAT INTERNET.

“I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired” – Fannie Lou Hamer. Today we celebrate Fannie Lou Hamer, a Mississippi sharecropper who lost her job and home for trying to register to vote. She dedicated her life to fighting for voting rights for Black Americans. We honor her by continuing that fight.

A 911 call from Salem, Oregon, describes a disturbing encounter in which a woman was screaming that she was a U.S. citizen as ICE goons broke her vehicle window and forcibly pulled her out. According to reporting on the call, the woman suffered a concussion, torn rotator cuff and bruised ribs.

It won't be a bankruptcy. It will be a slow dismantling, through spin-offs and sales presented as brilliant management decisions. Cf. the AT&T/Time Warner merger, de-merger.

They wont. Zaslav walked off even richer after destroying the company even further than it already had been. Get ready for a deluge if AI slop, media with a blatantly fascistic bent, and a metric ton of tax writeoffs for things that will never be seen again.

It's funny to me that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is casting Medicaid users as "freeloaders" when one of the only good things her dad did as Arkansas' governor was expand Medicaid coverage of children with ARKidsFirst.

In 2018, Bret Stephens had a column about how the Dems didn't do so well and they had to compromise with the right and then they kept having to edit his column as they won more and more seats as the votes were counted.

"Trump is capitulating to someone and that someone is not us and there’s no reason not to redouble the pressure, most importantly because forcing Trump to pay taxpayers back for his stolen money would be a critical precedent going forward."

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.
