‘Fawning’ is a response where a person gives a servile display of exaggerated flattery in order to gain favor or advantage. AKA: ass-kisser, bootlicker, toady, suck-up brown-noser, etc.

"Finally, if you think this has nothing to do with you, good luck with that. The first use case of all new technology is to weaponise it against women. But Silicon Valley is itself a surveillance technology. Elon Musk knows that. And you should too: we are all prey now."

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Michael Gove used to ban teachers from their profession for life for drug use. He got caught taking cocaine and a few years later he's getting a peerage? It's as clear as day that drug laws are just there to punish the working class.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

Wow - how did I miss this at the time? Peter's study from 2020 is realllllyy interesting. Basically finds that (a) most ABC articles don't mention climate in 2020 fires coverage and (b) those that do bury it weirdly late in the article (weird enough that it's probably intentionally buried)

It's just extraordinary to me that the LNP are talking like every single issue we face started in May 22. LNP have played THE MOST significant role in creating the issues we face - and if elected on May 3 - will only make it so much worse #auspol #npc

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made. That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country. #StopTrumpsTerror
