It really is amazing how much of political punditry, *especially* elite outfits in NYC and Washington, still embrace this bizarre idea that rural spaces represent the "Real America" while metropolitan areas, where most (presumably real) Americans actually live, should be held in contempt.

Remember: Everyone who says that athletes or artists should stay out of politics does not just fail to understand that in moments like these politics infuses every aspect of every life in our country--they are actually part of the problem. Silence is a position. Silence serves autocrats and thugs.

Those notorious hippie institutions MIT, Stanford, Princeton, and LSE. All well-known for subversiveness, with no contributions to defense, military tech, or intelligence services. NB the inclusion of Columbia, Penn, & Brown despite their having struck deals with the administration on other fronts.

I bet most people think they *would be able* to emigrate “the right way” to wherever they wantsd to whenever they wanted to. Most of us don’t have the freedom of movement we assume we do.

It’s interesting how we used to negotiate free trade agreements and now they’re just trade agreements. They are dropping the “free” from in front of lots of things these days: trade, speech, press, market, country.

You do not have to like Democrats, you do not even have to vote for Democrats if you really feel like that's helpful, but you are not entitled to your own set of facts, it is *objectively, measurably better for the climate and thus every fucking human on Earth* for Dems to set climate policy.

In a Minnesota town, Emily, a nurse who treats many immigrant patients, can’t locate a patient who just had a test result that shows they might have cancer. The patient was recently detained by ICE. Situations like these have forced the clinic to adapt. This week on @revealnews.org:

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Not to mention the environmental impacts. The industry produces 10% of global co2 emissions, 20% of waste water, and 35% of microplastics. A quarter of all clothing manufactured is never even sold. Mostly due to fast fashion. Fast fashion is a harmful industry and should be regulated into oblivion.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger.

Last night, Trump posted a video to his social media platform that contained a racist clip showing Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys. It's still up:

Spiking the Kamala Harris endorsement can be rationalized as something that was done on the opinion side of the newspaper so less dire, but management spiking a news story means the outlet is official dead.

Bad idea. ICE is pre-funded by the BBB. Also, CBP is just as bad if not worse and also pre-funded by the BBB. Severing ICE gives away any leverage we have to shut down the rest of DHS. We should be demanding to defund ICE/CBP of its BBB money and shut down ALL of DHS if they don’t agree.
