Howie Roseman says the #Eagles won't even scout players who have ever been violent with women: “I won’t even watch them. I don't even want to talk. I can't go 'He’s really good, he did it 10 years ago and he learned from it.” It just doesn't work for us." #FlyEaglesFly (🎥: The McShay Show)

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

How does anybody whose watched Elon give millions, Thiel spend BILLIONS and Trump decimate TRILLIONS handle being told “We don’t have enough to give you a living wage “ “ can you take 250 from a billionaire to explain things to someone making 350k who doesn’t think you’re human?

The most frustrating thing about this whole manufacturing bullshit tariff debacle is that there ARE good jobs that we need to be funding here have here that can’t be outsourced. It’s called the Green New Deal.

Every so often, it just comes back to me in full force. The political and economic order that allowed this man to come to power is obviously no longer tenable. The leaders who let it happen obviously have to be replaced. This is an epoch defining failure and we have to turn the page completely.

This was a choice. Fine won by 8 pts in the district Mike Waltz won by 30 pts just 5 months ago. That the NYT frames it as “easily won” is a leading reason we are where we are. Headlines matter. Framing matters.

if there's one thing Evangelical Christians know it's that having the state execute a beloved dissident always stops that dissident's message from spreading so yeah seeking the death penalty for Luigi Mangione seems smart

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to all the trans and nonbinary folks out there living boldy and unapologetically + the ones who dream of doing the same but can't. Visibility won’t necessary lead us to liberation, but let’s commit to using it as a tool to get us closer.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment. Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

This is the most openly corrupt act by a sitting President in the history of America. It is now 4.40 PM - and Politico, WaPo and NYT are simply refusing to cover it. NYT wrote 35 articles speculating on the POSSIBLE corruption of Clinton Foundation. Which was never found.

Do people realize how many Black women ended up broke after sacrificing so much for the civil rights movement? We don't make a coin from any of it. We go broke. We die broke. Y'all write about it and make millions. We can no longer be bullied into sacrifice we cannot afford.

one great mystery of our age is how the only way to motivate rich people to work is to give them loads of money for no reason but the only way to motivate poor people to work is to take away loads of their money for no reason

"Matt Murray, The Post’s executive editor, said...the changes would affect the opinion section only and not change the newsroom’s mission 'to pursue engaging, impactful journalism without fear or favor.'” At least for now, fear and favor will be limited to the opinion section.

The fallout will poison everyone’s life and future in the end. But it’s very clear that the poisoned arrow’s tip is aimed specifically at African-Americans. Trump couldn’t get the Central Park Five killed so now, he’s gonna try and kill the country.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.
