Happy International Women's Day to this classic banger

I feel like the Democrats arguing they should abandon trans rights are missing the broader problem, which is (if you accept their framing) that their milquetoast messaging allowed a topic with zero impact on the vast majority of voters' lives to somehow become electorally salient.

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life. But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

Black people whose job it is not are carrying the election conversation in ways that as journalists we should be ashamed. It was Taraji P. Henson who put project 2025 front and center

Hot take but telling your citizens to evacuate because you have advance notice of danger and after a certain point you can't justify sending emergency workers to their likely deaths is very different, morally speaking, from telling people to evacuate or you will bomb them.

Trump is seriously trying to claim that he'd do a better job of helping North Carolina out after a hurricane, huh? Oh hey, what's this? www.wbtv.com/story/353984...

Don’t you fucking dare blame Mexico for guns. Where the fuck do you think they’re manufactured? Where do you think they’re sold? The four goddamn border states on the US you soulless ghoul. American guns are slaughtering Americans and Mexicans alike and you think the answer is mass deportation?!

it’s really, really dangerous when otherwise well-meaning people assume that things are already pretty much as bad as they can get

YOUR HISTORY TEACHER NEVER TOLD YOU- *me, checks lecture notes* I definitely told you. YOUR TEXTBOOK LEFT OUT- Me: It is on page 37 and again on 54. HISTORIANS NEVER ADMIT- Me: Look will you just admit already that you slept through class?

“From 2019 to 2022, the rate of maternal mortality cases in Texas rose by 56%, compared with just 11% nationwide during the same time period.” Heartless pandering to the far right is killing Texas women. www.nbcnews.com/health/women...

I am often critical of the House GOP for their incompetence, absence of any abiding moral compass and hostility to democracy. But this week, they deserve praise for their nationwide message discipline during “anti-woke week”. Thread:

"McDonald's ruling notes that the revenue agency assessed 423 news reports from Rebel News and found that only 10 were original." Rebel News just regurgitates right-wing propaganda while it pretends to be journalism. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/far-r...

"The democrats say 'please don't call [immigrants] animals; they're humans.' I said, 'no, they're not humans, they're not humans; they're animals.'" Trump is reaching new levels of evil.

I need you to read every word. A young woman with immense potential and a family that loved her is dead—died a prolonged, painful death—because the residual, nonviable “fetal tissue” in her body was worth more than her life in the eyes of the law.
