Right-wing billionaires now own the Washington Post, the LA Times, CNN, CBS News, virtually every local TV station, virtually every news radio station, most local newspapers, X, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok. (Did I miss any?) They own almost the entire information environment.

some deranged lunatic is going to storm an elementary school with an ar15 looking for the schools surgical center and the media is going to pretend we have no idea where they got that idea from
Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

So you used AI to check for AI, and then without bothering to verify the facts, you decided to commit an act of libel and defame an author. Shouldn’t @theatlantic.com have higher standards than to simply allow someone to lie on their behalf?

SIROTA: “Did Gaza cost Kamala the White House?” GOV. WALZ: "We did the most terrible thing you can do in politics — We tried to walk the middle… the idea that criticizing 🇮🇱 is antisemitic is untrue… Palestinian protestors had a point…” (H/T @levernews.com )

Can I just say because it probably isn't said enough: @timnitgebru.blacksky.app @emilymbender.bsky.social were specifically extremely correct in their "stochastic parrots" paper on their environmental risk warnings and narrowly, on the unjust burden of impacts: s10251.pcdn.co/pdf/2021-ben...

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.
Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

After reviewing the brutal invasions of US metro areas, Amnesty International now officially calls for abolishing ICE. While the grassroots has said #AbolishICE for years, support from the global human rights org signals a significant momentum shift as public support for mass deportations plummets

Remember that repentance, atonement + attaining forgiveness are not the same thing. Focus on the first. 1) Own the harm, fully + completely 2) Begin to work to change for real, addressing root causes via therapy + education 3) AMENDS in convo w/SA experts* cot'd + *DON'T APPROACH VICTIM UNPROMPTED

If you have a hard time empathizing with people unlike yourself but call yourself a fiscal conservative then you should be for SAVING taxpayer dollars by housing the houseless.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

The State AGs were on pace to kill the Paramount/Warner Bros by litigation and delay until Gavin Newsom stepped in and turned the tide. Now the Trump loyalist Ellisons will control CNN and HBO. Don't ever, ever forget that Newsom stabbed us in the back www.wsj.com/business/med...

He's always been a real one. And like yeah he's cringey, sure. But I'll always fuck more with people who are cringey and unashamed about it than people who sneer at cringyness. And he never claimed to be more than he is, a guy with some fun songs who got a lucky moment in the spotlight.
