Thank god for Rolling Stone. Putting the NYT and others to shame for calling it what it is consistently.

Schiff is currently working tirelessly to pass pro-crypto legislation through congress right now, but he's also taking a little time off to send another Sternly Worded Letter to Trump

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys 46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

Good for Tim Walz. Especially powerful because he's probably the only governor in the country who has spent a substantial part of his career actually coaching high school sports. He knows how disgusting it is to separate and punish kids because of an adult moral panic

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Discworld QOTD, from Going Postal “There was no safety. There was no pride. All there was, was money. Everything became money, and money became everything. Money treated us as if we were things, and we died.”

It's okay to open criminal probes of people in politics when people in politics openly do crimes.

A lot of y’all’s brains are cooked from arguing with people on social media. “Liberals” are not a bigger threat to you than right-wingers, they just yelled at you on social media more. “Leftists” are not a bigger threat to you than right-wingers, they just yelled at you on social media more.

I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night. The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, *and* Palestinians.

Last night, two young people were murdered at an event for young Jews. The very online killer said he was doing it for Palestine, even though his actions will only harm real Palestinians. The tankies and trolls who celebrate violence online should feel ashamed. www.vox.com/politics/414...

how about we take tens of millions of dollars and fund a bunch of investigative reporters and local news stations across the country without the expectation that they will make a profit

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

when is the last time you wrote an article about the cognitive abilities of Donald Trump who is: 1) the current president 2) the oldest president ever elected 3) constantly posting insane conspiracy theories and threatening celebrities

Every so often, political media will go out of its way to create a story and then externalize it as though it happened naturally at the hands of some other party. "Continued questions" from whom? "Emerging" from where? This is police shooting-speak.

And both get far, far less coverage than “Trump and Musk pull aid to Africa, estimated death toll of over 20 million” because no South Sudanese refugee ever invited Jake Tapper to a cocktail party.

Again, they're trying to take away our vaccines. From the head of the FDA, a gross misrepresentation of the annual process of updating a proven vaccine to target new disease strains. His plan would make it impossible to get seasonal flu and Covid shots, and of course he knows this.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

Everyone should watch @repyassansari.bsky.social speaking truths about Abrego Garcia to Laura Ingraham last night. She told Fox viewers *five times* that Trump is defying SCOTUS and that his renditions are illegal/authoritarian, which they never hear. My new piece: newrepublic.com/article/1942...
