Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Donald Trump has sent his DOJ cronies to file a bullshit lawsuit to try to steal a Senate election in Alaska. They will fail. When we fight, we win.🗳️⚖️💪

Ossoff: "Tech titans dig bunkers while warning us the AI they're creating risks human extinction. Meanwhile, our Congress debates youth sports and the president builds a ballroom ... I refuse to leave my girls a world as dark and dangerous and cruel as this one threatens to become"

Justin Wolfers: “What we have is a carnival barker as president, a reality TV show… a fake sort of boxer, a bloke who spends his life just provoking others because provocation yields attention.”

UNREAL: According to the Ellisons, opposing the Paramount merger that gives them control of CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, BET, CMT, Paramount, Warner Bros, HBO, CNN, DC Studios and Tik Tok's algorithm is anti-Semitic. Actually it's called opposing oligarchy! www.mediaite.com/media/entert...

I thought I was past shock after all the annexation talk, but 2 and 3 are real jaw-droppers.

David Ellison may think we are stupid, but we know who he is. We know what he has done to CBS. We know what he wants to do to CNN. Support independent media.

The bank also raises the prospect of TV coverage of the biggest events such as the World Cup being sold to subscription channels or streamers, by referring to a plan to “expand and optimize media rights monetization”. JP Morgan claims that Fifa is “undermonetized”

There is also a reference to more than doubling the number of global tournaments held each year, from 200 to 450, which if followed through would put a huge strain on player workload.

JP Morgan makes clear in the sales deck that such growth will come from “a growing tournament portfolio”, “third party sources of capital and debt financing”, and prioritising “high yield” partnerships and events.

FIFA and JP Morgan aren’t even bothering to hide the grift and greed. This is all about “monetization” of the sport. This isn’t just about selling the sport, it’s also about extracting the maximum possible from the athletes. It’s also sexist, because Women’s football doesn’t even warrant a line

Fun fact: the apartheid South African government’s refusal to allow Arthur Ashe to play in the country was one (of several) motivating factors behind the Stop the Seventy Tour campaign, which saw protesters deny the South African cricket team touring rights in the UK
