Please read the second chapter of my book about Hollywood misconduct & enabling, Burn It Down. I put the chapter on Rudin up front because .. this is a thing the media & Hollywood have done for 30+ years. Talk about how Rudin "has changed" & is "a different man" www.harpercollins.com/products/bur...

Aber, a W&M alum who investigated Russian spies, found dead under mysterious circumstances. I hate that instead of mourning and waiting for clarity my mind goes straight to “oh so Putin has free reign here now too” www.newsweek.com/jessica-aber...

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen? We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

Tonight, ABC World News with David Muir played a clip of RFK Jr saying “We have measles outbreaks every year” with zero correction. They just broadcasted his lie with no added context or fact check. It’s journalistic malpractice.

This is a letter I did not want to write. There is a WWII-era saying: “If there’s a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis.” If you voted for #Trump, you are a #Nazi. brandy-schillace.medium.com/the-letter-b...

It is honestly ludicrous how much New York Shit has now become everyone's problem. The president (convicted felon, corrupt) strong arming mayor (indicted on felony corruption) into carrying out his immigration cruelty via DOJ quid pro quo worse than Watergate. Democratic primary is in months.

Saying "don't worry, they'll stop it, our scientific research is valuable and profitable and important to tuition-paying students" suggests you've misunderstood that it has been an ideological project all along. The humanities were all those things too! It was never just about profit and loss.

No one elected Elon Musk. As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences. We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

Bhattacharya has gone under the radar but would be a disaster. He spread disinformation about COVID, opposed lifesaving public health measures, and encouraged mass infection. As Trump’s NIH head he plans to cut research on vaccines and infectious diseases.

Billionaire Bezos dined w Trump & the richest man on Earth, President Elon Musk. This is a lay up for Democrats. You need to rinse, repeat, & hammer the message of how Republicans represent the 1% who are stealing the country from the rest of us. Don't use kleptocracy or oligarchy. Keep it simple.

This is exactly how a bike lane network should be conceptualized…in the same design language and typology of that city’s public transportation network and with connectivity to subways, busses, LRT etc. Once again, Paris is leading the way.

I heard this is a good place to talk about taxing the rich, breaking up big tech, and ending Washington corruption.

Here’s the most charitable reading I can offer: The tech barons behaved as though they were atop a social hierarchy, and expected mass adoration for their generosity+forgiveness for mistakes. Instead, Elizabeth Warren, Lina Khan et al treated them like the heads of massive corporations.
