another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

The new eugenics EO that is circulating stating things like autism, adhd, autoimmune disorders and such is the biggest threat to America is disgusting. And disgusting is not even a big enough word for it. When suddenly your child becomes "the biggest threat" simply for being born different...I cant.

There’s an underlying assumption that non-voters simply don’t enter into the equation here at play as well. Once you decide anyone who sat out isn’t someone worth talking to then you’re left with “how can we convince people actively supporting the opposition?” as your only option.

Not to flex but anyone who followed Elon's hyperloop arc saw this coming a mile away. He said he could save 90% over high speed rail by ... buying land cheaper. That was it, he never offered any further specifics and the media utterly failed to convey how much of a charlatan he was.

Abruptly firing people who work in air traffic control is like murdering your own soldiers in the middle of a war. Even if you think things now aren’t working as efficiently as they should there’s no clear path to recovering from this; it’s just a really extremely foolish and dangerous thing to do.
