Reluctant cynic. It/That, unironically. I make instrumental music that you won’t like. on.soundcloud.com/aCaLhZObtP62HRAuxi on.soundcloud.com/Ddq4J7wogIaJJxl6Ah on.soundcloud.com/xEnZK2TO2osNaJ4K7A

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction. Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.

Graham Platner, the guy who had to cover his Nazi tattoo to save his senate campaign in Maine, went on the YouTube channel “Valhalla VFT” in January where he said he’s a “longtime fan of the show.” Check out these vile racist thumbnails from the channel & reporting on the antisemitic host.
Screenshot of news article printed in Yahoo from Jewish Insider: “Platner faced blowback this week for boosting a social media comment about a looming war with Iran by Stew Peters, a neo-Nazi influencer who has frequently espoused antisemitic tropes and engaged in Holocaust denial. Platner's team said the post was made in error and "immediately" removed it after learning it elevated a "despicable account."

In late January, however, Platner sat for a lengthy online interview with Nate Cornacchia, a retired Green Beret who has also promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories. Near the end of their hour-long conversation, Platner, a fellow military veteran, called himself "a longtime fan" of Cornacchia's YouTube channel, "Valhalla VFT," and said it was "an absolute pleasure being" on the show.”Screenshots of the Valhalla VFT YouTube channel thumbnails include vile racist images of the “Somali fraud scandal” and “robberies and looting” due to SNAP benefits being cut, depicting black people robbing stores

In this pic of Jeffrey Epstein with Steve Bannon, is that a photo on Epstein's desk of a victim or a video monitor of the room she is being held in? #Creepy

I am dealing with a “thorny problem” right now, today. It is hard and scary because IT IS ALWAYS HARD AND SCARY. But it is also where you do your best work. It is where stories go from “meh” to “WOW”. When I fix it - because that is the job - I will be that much closer to something worth reading.

A Leominster family who has lived in the US for more than 20 years says federal immigration agents held their 5-year-old US-citizen daughter in custody outside their home in an effort to pressure the parents to turn themselves over to agents.

Trump is launching a full blown attack on free speech while his harem of billionaires buys up every media platform. This is no coincidence. It’s a coordinated attack on your fundamental right to speak freely without worrying if you’ll lose your job or worse.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...
Who’s
running
this
country:
Donald Trump or
Elon Musk?
Since day one, Elon has created chaos and confusion and put our
livelihoods at risk. And he is accountable to no one but himself.
The Constitution only allows for one president at a time. Call Your
Senators and tell them it’s time Donald Trump fire Elon Musk

Elon Musk claims it’s a crime to publish the names of the young engineers who work for him who have access to systems they shouldn’t. Here they are: Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Come and arrest me.
