CBS turned their news operation into propaganda, kicked Colbert off the air for making too much trouble, and all that just to have Charles Barkley go on the air on one of their most-watched telecasts of the year and say this lmao

The New York Times positively comparing Trump to FDR should really be the nail in the coffin on the idea that it’s anything but a hard right wing paper

jesus christ man you're supposed to at least pretend the subject of your profile didn't write the lede himself

good lord I hadn’t actually read the article this is embarrassing

yeah I hate Newsom and think he's going to flame out in the primary but the man does have some shooters online; the best you're going to get for Rahm is someone who posted Rahmbo memes in December 2008 and has been in a coma for 18 years

honestly funny they're even trying with Rahm, if you want a smarmy shithead Newsom is right there

firmly convinced the Rahm campaign is going to show the limits of being the media darling in the modern era because he is going to get a pile of these articles and he is going to get one percent in New Hampshire

“I just want one to see one star-govt’s military advancing the interests of their star-govt by fighting another star-govt’s military, none of this “politics” stuff!”

I don't like the politics of "Animal Farm". I just wanna see farm animals selling turnips.

Boiling Star Trek down into, "Romulans and the Federation shoot at each other," says you're not actually a fan, not by any great measure anyway. These idiots are ruining everything for everyone because they're the loudest, most obnoxious voices, thanks to a POLITICALLY-bought media system.

"As a...'Star Trek' fan, it's always bothered me that there is a presumed 'responsibility' within 'Star Trek' shows to talk about social issues. I just want to watch Romulans and the Federation shoot at each other." By Weir always claiming he's not political, he's making a political statement.

yeah, bro, why would you need to consider social and cultural issues on voyages of exploration and contact, its all pew pew pew

This is gonna look so insane once it’s finished www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Reminds me of my college paper, where we’d suddenly run ads 2x as big as the advertiser asked because a student-council story fell through at the last minute

Brick by brick, Jeff Bezos is dismantling the Washpost. With no stated game plan for how to turn it around.

Sometimes people who happen to be poor also want to buy their kids Doritos so they don't feel like weirdos.

We find that low-income parents are more likely than high-income parents to give in to kids' requests for food treats. Not because of a lack of nutrition knowledge or because they don't value health, but because food treats are a low-cost way to give dignity and joy. www.emerald.com/books/edited...

Food policing poor families isn't a win for nutrition--it's a loss for dignity and joy. As Brea Perry and I find in our research (see reply), low-income parents buy food treats for their kids because they want their kids to feel happy and normal--and they can't afford to do so in bigger ways.

"...the way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace."

"The way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace... I think what’s going on in our country — what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it’s really sad." - Charles Barkley on CBS

Has anyone asked Homan why the ICE agents are armed when TSA agents are not?

Just had to pay like $500 because my Ghost newsletter has more than 1000 subscribers now so uh... here's a cool deal to get a short term sub to some cool people for really cheap. trustfnd.com/katelynburns...

Look I’m an old leftist punk that brawled with nazi skins and I have literally nothing in common with these people but when I see a soccer mom with a Trans Kids Belong sign screaming FUCK ICE at the top of her lungs I whole heartedly welcome my unlikely new comrade

I hope you grabbed all the cheap USB flash drives and SD cards you could and you know exactly where they are because these fuckers are ruining everything.

We're going to face almost every other part of the economy buckling under the weight of losing vital components. It's approaching the point where people won't be able to buy cars and appliances because manufacturers siphoned all excess NAND flash and DRAM production to "AI" companies.

Has the NYT ever quoted an “independent” critical of Trump who turned out to be a Democratic Party county chair or some such? These “mistakes” and “oversights” pretty much only happen in one direction.

The second thing happening here is that the AMA is being chickenshit. Rather than clearly state and defend its position, it is trying to appeal to all sides of this "debate."

Jeremy Peters and other members of the anti-trans braintrust have covered this issue for *years* and are still so poorly informed about the basic empirics and actors on this beat that they see this statement as a shift rather than a reiteration. Think about how disqualifying that is.

In reality, the medical field is extremely conservative. Every medical body recommends thorough assessment for minors and practitioners have moved slowly and carefully as they gather evidence on this emerging field.

What's really going on here is twofold. First, the anti-trans "reporters" on this issue do not know their own beat. As I've said before, the anti-trans argument is a conspiracy theory. It posits that the medical field is handing out surgeries to kids at the slightest hint of gender nonconformity.

The NYT is being disingenuous here. The AMA has *always* said that gender-affirming surgeries should generally be reserved for adults. That's part of why so few kids get them! The AMA reiterated this position and the NYT is characterizing it as a policy change. It's not.

"Centrist groups like Third Way are trying to cancel the popular progressive streamer as part of their campaign to ‘reduce far-left influence and infrastructure.’ Why are top Democrats joining in?" Read here, by @andrewperez.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/third-way-...

Norwegian Hanne Engan arrested at immigration appt “I'm lucky everything ended up being OK for me, but it was just - it's scary how they treat people" ICE officers counting the “bodies” they'd arrested: “It was insane just talking about us like we were a quota not human beings" #ICE #ThisIsAmerica

Having seen first hand what accredited medical care my clients have received in jails and prisons, I believe every word she has to say about her care. ICE's claim they provided needed care rings hollow, because what passes for care in custody is just not acceptable.

This is very much worth a read, and aligns with what rapid response networks are hearing from folks who have been released from detention.

if ICE agents aren't raping and murdering, then they're stealing

So if you fall in love with an American, nowadays, they have to move your country, or you have to be willing to potentially die in an ICE prison??? Wild. bsky.app/profile/comm...

Wow. So craven. bsky.app/profile/rand...

This is what they are doing to NORWEGIANS, y’all — the very immigrants Trump claims to want more of. Imagine what they are doing to everyone else.

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...
