If you were looking for a unified theory explaining the last 20 years of Supreme Court politics, you could do a lot worse than “Citizens United was a direct reaction to Obama winning, and Shelby County was a direct reaction to Obama winning again”

I’d rather wait a little to get rid of Adams if it means we avoid getting Cuomo.

I posted to their their “tips” submission page about Bob Jones University discriminating against non-Christian religions and members of the LGBTQ community (which it totally does), and uploaded this image. Now it’s your turn. Let’s flood the zone.

“That’s what the movie is about: How a privileged few rampage through the world as the rest of us desperately try to attend to their needs and keep our heads above water.” Ha, if that’s true, then it’s not just a well-shot romp that never tries to understand its main character, it’s a total failure.

Not sure what happened to the new, improved WaPo page. Maybe Bezos didn’t ask for same-day shipping.

"It is no exaggeration to say this will kill people—mainly people who are elderly, disabled and/or poor. Society’s most vulnerable sit in the crosshairs of our nation’s wealthiest people who have absolutely everything, but somehow always want more."

A 🧵 of very big questions. Some smaller news outlets (like @hellgatenyc.com) are trying new models, but can that happen at scale?

Ugh, this whole story is so disgusting, but you have to read it to believe the sheer amount of lies and corruption on display.

I think this is true, but I also think that most of the public is going to miss that this happened at all, so I would share the fact that Bezos has assumed full control to use his paper as an outright propaganda machine as far and wide as you can in your personal networks wherever they are.

This is disgusting. If it wasn’t 100% clear what a scumbag Bezos was before, there it is in black and white.

Coinbase was being investigated by the SEC so they: - gave $75M a to pro-Trump PAC - gave $1M to Trump’s inauguration - sponsored an inaugural party - hired Trump’s campaign manager - listed Trump’s meme coin And now the investigation is closed. These are called bribes.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

“He dropped people out of helicopters and others he tortured and killed and locked them away. He destroyed a country. But he was strong. He was tough. He wasn’t a pussy, that’s for sure. And there are people who loved him.“ Chilling and 100% right. By @laurenhough.bsky.social

Another useless coward. He should be ashamed (as I am, as a member of a union that works closely with the @teamsters) that this man claims to be part of organized labor.

And because Boeing had been doing SUCH a good job making planes already, and rushing them to market was TOTALLY not part of the problem, this is a truly excellent idea.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

A lot of women showing showing some backbone right now — even maybe Gov Hochul (though I’ll believe that when I see it). Not surprised, but love to see it.
