So it’s not the weirdest thing that has happened recently, but I just opened a fully sealed package of Philly cream cheese I bought yesterday and instead of cream cheese it contains four sticks of unwrapped butter?

Patriot Front crashed Springfield, MO Pride festival. Driving a Penske truck. U-Haul banned Patriot Front from renting their vehicles. It’s time for people to tell Penske to do the same.

Mother to child transmission of HIV is completely preventable with antiretroviral drugs. We cannot go back to the 80s and 90s of the HIV epidemic.

New this week: how New Orleans dramatically improved response times despite having a shrunken/shrinking police force and why other cities should take note! jasher.substack.com/p/new-orlean...

Anyone still on Twitter wanna let Mike Lee and Bernie Moreno know? Anyone at the NYT wanna write the story about senators straight up lying to their constituents?

It's pretty telling that the second part of the "Mamdani is a danger to Jewish new yorkers" pitch is always "so vote for sexual harasser shitbag Italian Catholic Andrew Cuomo" and not "so vote for Jewish Progressive Brad Lander"

Here’s the thing, I’m reasonably certain we are.

A free lifetime supply of everything to the first journalist who just flat out asks Trump if Stephen Miller is the president.

I know there were a lot of things about yesterday's election that were (choose your adjective 🤬) and there's going to have to be some real changes made, but also let's take a minute to celebrate Erica's VICTORY and the part that so many of you played in making it happen! #NOLAsky #Geauxvote

Seriously

Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, a 39-year-old Utah resident, died Saturday night after being shot during Salt Lake City’s “No Kings” protest. Police said a member of a peacekeeping team fired shots trying to contain a man pointing a rifle at demonstrators, hitting Folasa Ah Loo.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

I would love to see a 50-state campaign to pass free school lunch and anti-gun measures in tribute.

This assassination makes the Minnesota house even. I'm waiting for the first Republican Minnesota state legislator to commit to sit out votes until Rep. Hortman is replaced - otherwise Republicans are hugely benefiting from and complicit in this sort of political violence.

This.

Just covered the New Orleans installment of the No Kings protest, which was peaceful and celebratory ahead of the scheduled Pride parade, and with minimal police presence www.nola.com/gambit/news/...

Ok, *this* is best comparative stat, members of media: The DC Pride parade one week ago had a bigger turnout.

It’s true. Irritating, but true.

Over the next 25 years, if proposed cuts in NIH funding are made real, “In a population of more than 340 million, this reflects **82 million** fewer years of life.” In the US alone. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

Breaking: Shots fired at No Kings protest in Salt Lake City. Live updates here.

👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

Please keep your eyes on Portland Oregon right now There's a riot declared near the ice facility in Portland and DHS agents have pulled lethal guns on protesters with live ammo at least four times the last half hour

I really appreciate a major news source not just acknowledging but emphasizing that these were overall peaceful protests, and that the response was severely out of proportion.

Hehehe

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

I noted this often during the monument take downs, but among the many benefits of being on the right side of history is the simple fact that we are A LOT MORE FUN!

NEW: In the last few hours, Minnesota authorities warned people against attending protests, with a killer on the loose. This is the current view of the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. DEFIANCE. 👏 #NoKings #50501Movement (📸 Daviss)
