This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people. ICE is Gestapo trash.

We are a failed state if there isn’t some truth and reconciliation process on the other end of this that results in a lot of these people going to prison for a long time.

The Times saying last year they'd no longer endorse candidates in local elections, then immediately being like "oh but not THAT guy" 10 months later because the candidate wants free buses gives away the whole game. "Objectivity" means you break your own rules to punch left as much as you want.

I think a lot of the terror of the modern age can be understood by the fact that the Internet accelerated the development of the worst type of person, the "Anti-Intellectual Nerd."

Instant Pot is a horrible product that cannot reach the necessary, and industry standard, 15psi that almost all historic pressure cooker recipes are written to. This makes Instant Pot owners beholden to the company for recipes re-'optimized' for their lower-psi device.

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

Marching bands in Atlanta came prepared for a stand-off with the Proud Boys: playing the infamous Bella Ciao that became an anti-fascist anthem after World War 2. ✊ The lyrics are Italian but you can see the translation below 👇

Trump has not only pardoned insurrectionists who tried to violently overturn an election result but is now “settling” lawsuits by those insurrectionists, giving them multimillion dollar rewards for their political violence. There’s a straight line to the Minnesota assassin trying to seize…

An Army vet heading to the VA took a wrong turn—and was detained by Marines in LA. While they acted professionally, their detaining him was likely illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act. It’s another line being crossed—and it puts our Marines in a bad spot. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

This is a watershed moment. Senator Padilla getting thrown to the ground and handcuffed. Trump admitting his mass deportations are targeting hard-working people that are contributing vitally to the US economy. Trump sending troops into a US city that even local law enforcement didn't ask for. 1/

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

No, Trump will never ever ever go to prison. Stop it. The purpose of prison in the US is NOT to incarcerate former heads of state or rich and powerful people.

All the people I still know in LA laugh and laugh when they hear that "Los Angeles is burning." I made a couple of maps to show just how tiny and localized the protests are. GOPers are working really hard to make an excuse for declaring martial law. People should be very wary of that.

The Trump regime has charged their first Democratic member of Congress for the crime of political opposition. The Trump regime is trying to make it illegal to oppose them. They want to ban freedom of speech and end free and fair elections. This is what dictatorship looks like.

There's a lot to unpack here. But the "why do people in the developed world die from chronic diseases at higher rates than in poorer countries" is because we survive long enough to die from chronic rather than infectious disease. This is epidemiology 101. It's not a mystery.
