Absolutely beautiful tribute. #SNL50 #50Years youtu.be/fXAbLeJyB0o?...

NEW: The Washington Post has pulled out of an agreement to run an ad in its newspaper criticising Elon Musk. This is despite signing an agreement to publish it. Democracy dies in darkness. Here is the ad. Let’s share it far and wide! Screw the Post.

Just as relevant today… “The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” - Malcom X (1963)

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare.

Some guy in front of me on this dance floor is wearing a “Daddy’s Home” shirt and a black MAGA hat. I’m just disgusted. Like how is that what you put on to go outside?

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Thou shalt not tolerate fascists. Thou shalt rip them out of thy society by root and stem.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

This is the cowardice of The New York Times. Legacy media is failing.
