This country desperately needs good journalists holding this administration to account, especially as major media institutions are failing the moment badly. If you ever bitch on here about a goddamn article being paywalled, I will block you on sight.

We're doing these racists a big favor when we pretend their project is in any way based on actual grievance with modern DEI policy. They just want to promote the belief that no non-white person has ever been worthy of any praise or qualified for any honor or position

Cannot stress Amy's second point enough. It's both morally wrong and unbelievably dangerous for Jews to allow ourselves to be used as the wedge to overturn basic civil liberties in this country.

Last week, Facebook abruptly took down my account of 17 years due to “violating community standards.” I have no idea what that means and have received no response (through $15/month Meta Verified) to my questions. Several appeals have failed. Oh well, bye Facebook, I guess.

Powerful. @algreen.house.gov: "There are times when it is better to stand alone, than not stand at all. This president is disrupting the healthcare system. He is all but defying court orders. At some point, we're all going to have to stand up."

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

Don’t let Trump’s flurry of executive orders overshadow his effort to rewrite history by pardoning Jan 6 attackers. They were not “hostages.” They are criminals convicted of committing political violence after receiving due process in court. https://buff.ly/4hqvnPx
