House Democrats could force a vote on impeaching RFK any time they want. Of course it would fail. But do you want to make an issue of it or not?

NEWS: CVS, the largest pharmacy chain in the country, is currently not offering Covid vaccines in 16 states and DC — even to people who meet the new FDA criteria — because the CDC hasn't signed off and isn't expected to do so (if it does so) for at least three weeks.

This quiz going around is a great example of how the NYT launders right wing talking points through the zero-sum lens. I care that millions of *other* people will get tossed into poverty—or concentration camps. The fact that *I* might get a SALT break is not an equivalent effect on the country!

One of the most helpful things when reading a news story is to notice which perspectives are treated as objective and which ones are not.

Young New Yorkers of every class, race and gender. This is truly your time. Come out tomorrow like you never have before and you'll have a much better shot of a future in this city if it's not run by Cuomo. You are needed to counter what Gen X and older are going to do.

I spoke to my nephew late yesterday because he was was spiraling about the regime bombing Iran. I told him that what they did was a horror and unjust and that the fact that he felt both of these things means that the regime hasn't won. They haven't succeeded in numbing him to the horror of this.

The federal government is telling you they cannot afford to house you, feed you, educate you or heal you — but that they do have enough resources and scale to criminalize, assault, deport and incarcerate your neighbors simply going to work or taking their kids to graduation.

You can watch the manufacturing of consent happen in real time ANY social justice movement kicks off. Go back & watch cable news from the past 5 days and you'll find the bulk of the interviews/roundtables center on what folks in the streets are allegedly doing wrong & little about why people are out

Using the horse race coverage lens (is it a lens? It’s not a lens) to discuss the Marines rolling down the streets of LA is wild to me. (For some reason, been watching msm coverage of this.) (Will the boys in red or blue win the big game? The administration says team red allll the way, baby.)

@nytimes.com I don’t know what you thought you were doing here but there is a broad consensus TODAY. You are actively contributing to the possibility that unserious, broadly rejected arguments will be taken seriously.
