This is such a good example of "turn every page" journalism - nothing less fun/glam than clicking through every footnote. And it's roughly 10,000x more newsy than the thumbsucker RFK profiles reported with big travel budgets.

Christ. Just came downstairs to find my dad watching an entirely AI-generated YouTube video about an event that didn't happen involving the Pope. Had to convince him the whole think was fake. "How can you tell?" he asked. He has five degrees including a PhD.

Anyone engaged in transphobia or gender critical critical thinking is at fault for this. The democrats and republicans contributed to this. If you are anti trans this is on you.

This gets the story wrong on a fundamental level because it assumes DOGE was about what Musk claimed. DOGE was about stealing data, getting Musk contracts, shutting down investigations and regulations of Musk’s companies, and terrorizing federal workers. On that front, it succeeded.

One reason why universities have proven such a soft target for Trump is that they're so often run by idiots.

It is so hard for me to understand how people think that airborne vehicles, aka "flying cars" will be some kind of perfect solution where crashes will never happen. Not to mention the irritation of having the sky filled with buzzing large vehicles (electric or no). Sounds like hell to me.

Over 100,000 people are marching through The Hague against Israel's war on Gaza. Wearing red clothing and forming a line, they are demanding the government draw a red line in its stance against Israel. It's the largest protest in the Netherlands in 20 years.

It’s almost as if effective advocacy and leadership, whether for good or evil, can shape public opinion, and it’s possible to work to frame issues instead of passively responding to the way the opposition frames them and accepting their characterization of what is “moderate.”

There’s something almost religious, cultlike, about the bizarrely contrived language of the police talking about killing someone. The ritualistic passive voice with indistinct causality just popping up in there like a mantra. Dudes try “SO THE OFFICER SHOT HIM”

The Education Department’s civil rights office once helped push a South Dakota school district to treat its Native students equally. Under Trump, that same office decided that helping Indigenous students would discriminate against white students: propub.li/3GIdTRr

The week after Harvard filed a lawsuit against Trump they: gutted their DEI office, stopped affinity graduations, centralized their disciplinary process over protests, and handed over student records of international students to DHS. These were all demands by Trump. They're complying with all of it

It's pretty funny that Trump has engineered a geo-political game of chicken between two societies - the US and China - where the winner will be the society most willing to withstand economic pain and inconveience in furtherance of some future national collective goal. Not really a US strong suit!

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

If you imagine a scenario of victory over Trumpism, ask yourself if the image in your head might be related to a movie or a distant decade. If so, put it on the shelf. Make room for the harder work of thinking in the real and the present.
