Either this ends with some sort of truth and reconciliation process where a very large number of people go to prison for a very long time or we will take a short pause and then start doing it again, but worse.

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

NEW: A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to interview one of my favorite new artists! 54 Ultra is one of the freshest voices in the rising Latin soul wave, and we talked about how he got here, the authenticity of his style, eclectic musical inspirations, and more! www.latimes.com/delos/story/...

NEW: If "Cosa Nuestra" was another side of the coin to what "DTmF" offered, "Capítulo 0" raises the value of that currency even more. It’s an excellent expansion of the conversation that, to no one’s surprise, Rauw manages to make great music too. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

All my best to this FEMA employee, and may they succeed in their mission:

TIL there's a huge major comedy show in Saudi Arabia happening and also that Zach Woods remains a king

ah, well

There’s a way to be respectful in reporting on Charlie Kirk being shot while also refusing to whitewash who he was and what consequences his political activism has had. Obituaries for public figures are a part of history.

I think it’s totally consistent with an information environment in which attention, not the ballot, gets treated as the purest representation of the public will.

This. A true accounting of where a lot of the responsibility lies.

I don’t disagree with the point being made here, but also they do this like every three weeks. They were calling for Civil War about the Cracker Barrel logo.

Nice to see that the relationship has gone public

this is the way rich people think about health insurance

NEW: I went to the opening night show of Bad Bunny's San Juan residency and wrote about about witnessing an artist in full command of his talents. He entertained thousands and fearlessly weaved a message about identity, history, and culture. www.latimes.com/delos/story/...

the fact that these people can only write like they're losing when they're winning huge reveals such a sad inner life, man. shunned by who, you miserable fuck!!!!

♥️

"We have to pull back on palestine support" "we have to pull back on trans rights" "Dems should be more centrist" EAT HOT ASPHALT YOU FUCKING LOSERS!!!

i just find this so bizarre. searching through texts and doing the reading for myself is how i actually think through ideas! trying to put together a sentence is how i figure out what i actually want to say!

This is like watching gangrene work its way up a limb and consume a cancerous tumor.

It doesn’t solve anything and it definitely doesn’t change anything but it is kind of nice to know that he knows that his big macho honk honk birthday parade sucked

this is such a good representation of American Christianity

lmao get her

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

We’re now seeing paramilitary ICE raids in LA — with full on military garb, military tanks, flash bang grenades & the arrest of a major labor leader. This is a core manifestation of fascism — using federal forces to put down dissent. If we don’t stop this now, this is the future everywhere.

Someone defaced the Silverlake Disney billboard and Mickey is telling people to read Marx

True of writing books too.

And what are Dems doing now? They're pushing out all the younger members like David Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta for actually trying to bring young people into the party. It's political suicide.

This passed 215-214. We're going to lose our healthcare because 3 senior Dems have died this year. We lost Roe because Ginsburg didn't retire. We lost the election because Joe ran for reelection. Our country is being destroyed because geriatric Dems can't retire and let go of power.

ai has already kind of materially ruined the basic act of looking at pictures

i haven’t seen technology this forced on all of us in my life time. they’re trying to make it so we have no choice to use this shit

Everything the Trump regime accuses others of is a projection and confession. “The media is fake news” — they establish a propaganda arm in Fox News. “Kamala will cause a Great Depression” — they destroy the economy. “Woke liberals are indoctrinating kids” — they literally indoctrinate children:

This is... one of the saddest things I've ever had the misfortune to read. Like if the sound of Eeyore saying, "Pathetic" was somehow transliterated into a full paragraph.

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

"falsely claim" instead of "lie" is a thing we're still doing 10 years in

it couldn’t ever be more clear that real classic nazi antisemitism is alright for the trump administrstion, what they have a problem with is criticizing the state of israel about how many kids they’re killing

Abolish the DNC

Of all the awful stuff in this reprehensible bill, the fact that your children stop being considered dependents at SEVEN may be the most horrifying detail.

If you had to take out a loan to afford college, you’re “pampered, elitist”

I don’t know man, what could it possibly be?

i literally think a public service would be every fucking tv reporter seeing who can make him stomp his little rumplefeet and rip his body in half and storm off the set in two directions at once. you’re not getting the pulitzer for a regular interview. but you might at least be respected again.

true, the president has betrayed everyone he works with and destroyed everything he touches, but you fail to understand that I'm built different

NEW: Bad Bunny's Tiny Desk Concert has already broken records after just three days, but who are the young musicians behind the music and what is the importance of bringing Puerto Rican folk music to the forefront on such a large stage? Check it out here: remezcla.com/music/meet-l...

Die fighting back rather than die giving them what they want

NEW: I got an exclusive invite to attend the recording of Bad Bunny's first Tiny Desk Concert at NPR's offices in D.C. back in February and wrote about it for Rolling Stone! How did the superstar's first appearance on the fan favorite show go? www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

as students are being thrown into vans and deported for school paper op eds I can’t help but think about the years many of the most well compensated and secure intellectuals in the US had the courage to sign so many letters about the dangerous climate of left wing censoriousness

I think there’s probably power in being up against people who simply can’t conceive of anyone caring enough to act without being bribed to do so. It means that they cannot imagine, or thereby prepare themselves for, a driven opposition.
