Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

"Mainstream media has a duty to inform its audience that Trump/Miller policies are in fact hateful. But it rarely does so. Moran is to be commended for speaking truth to power. Speaking truth to power is, after all, what journalists are supposed to do." — @nberlat.bsky.social

"Much of the mythmaking about our pandemic response — indeed, the global pandemic response — is rooted in the absurd conviction that everything we now know about COVID was self-evident from the outset. But COVID was a novel human pathogen." www.aol.com/news/hiltzik...

My therapist suggested some vent art.

Saw this on my way to another spot, but it was too perfect not to share.

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...

Public services shouldn't have to turn a profit. It's cool if they do, but that should never be the goal. EVER.

Sometimes it’s hard to live in a country that thinks fluoride is a greater threat than handguns

The parallels between this and Texas Gov Abbott’s ‘Operation Lonestar’ are myriad.

one of the cool things about mass protests is that when they are happening there are typically less cops in other places. 😘 Places where smaller groups of determined individuals might take more direct action against the infrastructure of empire and get away to do it again 👀

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

happy pride from tokyo!!!

They are weak, they are cowards, and exerting every possible pressure against them is not only guaranteed to work - it is the only thing that will work. Never back down and never listen to the chorus of comfortable centrist cowards telling you to quiet down and submit.

"Trump knows full well that the midterms are coming. He is worried. ...So far, the results [of his actions] must be gratifying to him—and deeply ominous to anyone who hopes to preserve free and fair elections in the United States under this corrupt, authoritarian, and lawless presidency."

"When conservatives destroy these public goods, it doesn’t necessarily lead to a Democratic backlash at the ballot box, and they see this as a long-term investment in a more ignorant population reliant on sources of information they can control — a docile population that can be easily manipulated."

New article in Rolling Stone www.rollingstone.com/p/trump-dest...

For Republicans, every government action is tyranny except for actual tyranny, which is good.

Russell Vought, acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has canceled plans to introduce new rules designed to limit the ability of US data brokers to sell Americans’ most sensitive data, credit history, and Social Security numbers.

BREAKING: Israel’s defense minister has vowed to prevent an aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg and other activists from reaching the Gaza Strip.

“This inital use of federal troops in a blue city should be understood as an effort to build pressure to help pass the bill. It should also be used as an example of the danger of passing the bill — the kind of authoritarianism that Miller intends to wield if the bill does pass.”

Karen Bass said "Everyone has the right to peacefully protest, but let me be clear: violence and destruction are unacceptable, and those responsible will be held accountable." It is detestable to put violence (which hurts people) on the same level as destruction (which harms stuff).
