Huh, I guess the whole strategy of cable news outlets not asking the Trump White House hard questions and failing to push back on weak answers in order to preserve their access to the Trump White House wasn't much of a great strategy.

Was the killing of Brian Thompson a crime? That’s the question that is being asked—demanded, even—in the halls of power and corridors of justice and on the platforms of influence. Answer: It was. The question never asked is, what type of crime was his life? www.the-reframe.com/peaceful-sol...

"When Washington sued Kalshi, the state pointed out that the company’s advertisements appeared to acknowledge the illicit nature of the app. One Kalshi ad showed someone texting, 'I found a way to bet on the NFL even though we live in Washington.'" (via @nytimes.com)

Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.

A 1 year old baby is dead because of suspicion of shoplifting a pack of diapers. A. Pack. Of. Diapers. I am ashamed to be part of the same species as anyone who makes excuses for this terrible act. God damn the person who killed that child.

1. Some progressives believe "the people" don't know the truth: since 2000, a Democratic president has handed off a pretty good or very good economy to a Republican, and that Republican has ruined it.

All this new medical technology seems really confusing to use
An obviously AI image of two prospective nursing students using a stethoscope that only has the ear parts, and is in both student's ears, as if they are listening to each other's ears?

It's highly confusing and wrong

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

I would respect pro-life people more if they'd hunted Elon Musk for cutting USAID and killing hundreds of thousands of children and were busy bullying every anti-vaxxer and woo-woo MAHA douchebag out of public life, not just killing doctors, burning down clinics & forcing birth on victims of rape.

I will never get rid of my CDs or vinyl. I even have some old cassettes of my college radio shows that I will never part with. For me, having something to hold in my hands and put into a machine is part of the experience. Reading liner notes, looking at album art and other pics. Priceless.

The collapse of American elites is precisely why this administration has been able to do as much as it has. The first line of defense is institutional friction and noncompliance, but the institutions (w/some exceptions Congress, the courts, industry, the media) have largely abandoned the fight.

Fellow journalists as soon as we find out a way to financially support Georgia Fort’s legal defense fund we need to boost it as much as possible. I doubt she has the resources Lemon might have. We need to support both of them but she’s not nearly as well known as Don Lemon.

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.

Only TWO DAYS until Jack Smith testifies publicly before Congress. Americans will hear directly about the historic Jan 6 case which led to an indictment of Trump. Smith believes he'd have proven guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Whatever distractions Trump engineers, let's not get distracted from this.

I'd like to think that someone with the right resources and tech skill could track and disable these...but that's probably naive. I agree that being discerning in where we get our information is needed but I think about those who don't know how to be discerning. There has to be a way to combat these

There is no low too low for MAGA. Every crying child, every assaulted woman, every m*rdered mom, and every bloodied non-white person gives them joy. They are unable to create their own happiness; they must extract terror, anxiety and hopelessness from those they deem unworthy.
