New in PN: Transgender athletes are a red herring "None of this discourse happened bc there is a new high-profile trans athlete in the news. Instead, Republicans are starting a culture war to rile up their base, co-opt Dems into agreeing with them, & push trans people out of public life altogether"

Transgender athletes are a red herring
It's a non-problem meant to exclude people from public life.

From concrete thrown at kids to drive-bys, all the dispatch has to say is "Why didn't you report it sooner?" I reported as soon as I could. You have multiple calls. So let's ask the real question, "Why didn't you do your job and what good are you?"

Police are so great. How awesome is it to report a crime, when you feel unsafe because the criminals might beat you—but the pigs are just as corrupt—and so dispatch decides to hang up? Seems like "Fire em all." One might say, abolish the police. We deserve better.

Dictators DO have a habit of banning anyone who disagrees. Perverting CBS with Weiss for regulatory capture and giving Ellison media control wasn’t enough. Gotta throttle the First Amendment by removing it altogether. What happened to the “2A against tyranny” people? Oh, they support tyranny

What republicans call "actual peace negotiations" reminds me of Chamberlain giving Hitler land to achieve "peace in our time." How'd appeasement work out last time? Fuck appeasing Putin. He ordered the invasion of a sovereign nation and violated the international order.

I'd like it if this was only bad for Weiss, but she's intentionally destroying a once-flagship network to undermine trust in the news. Not a good sign with an admin that relies on "alternative facts" and blatantly lies to us daily to confuse the public on who they can trust.

“Doesn’t look happy”? Any facial expression can be taken out of context; how’d Boebert look when she got pulled out of ‘Beetlejuice’ giving a tugjob? I’d be pretty annoyed to ask for transparency, denied, and given a bunch of misleading questions for the millionth time by a group of assholes, too.

I have paid more, percentage wise, of my income both during my time employed in an Amazon warehouse and working for a subsidiary that means I pay 30% in taxes while Amazon got an 87% tax cut. 1099s. For comparison, one of us has a mega-yacht. One of us cannot comprehend that amount of wealth.

I wonder if these releases might overlap with what Trump’s DOJ is redacting in their files and Bondi is tracking which members of Congress are reading the undredacted files for. Certainly how I’d operate a conspiracy attempting to cover up crimes.

Seriously? The chemical weapons banned after WWI and WWII are DANGEROUS and the US shouldn't use them against civilians? I'm so glad that nearly a fucking century later, we have people cracking the case and figuring out the evil of "total war." Could've reported on this instead of "is Biden old?"

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer? You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators. So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

On this note, what was up with that bit the DOJ removed on how if a victim spoke up she'd become fertilizerr on a Trump gold course? Hm... makes a guy think. Or, maybe I should say, have nightmares.
