Whelp.... there goes her job. FCC commissioner calling out CBS.

It should not be lost amid the current idiocy of CBS kiboshing Colbert's interview over "equal time" that the current president *hosted SNL as a candidate* www.nytimes.com/2015/11/09/a...

that's a fish?!?!

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

A sick 2-month-old baby dumped back into danger with his terrified mother. They were practically abandoned with commissary scraps and a stranger’s phone to beg for help. If Juan Nicolás doesn’t break your heart, ask when we decided babies were expendable for politics. DHS=Deliberate Cruelty

Canada starts to carve out a tiny sliver of the massive U.S. LNG Export market. South Korea has established itself as the primary destination for Canadian LNG, with 10 shipments since the beginning of January. #EconSky #LNG #Canada #Korea

"There are so many moving parts to the terror the government is imposing. It’s hard to keep up! But it’s critical that we keep track of this underlying bureaucracy of harm, some of which predates Trump, and much of which will outlive him, if we don’t shut it all down."

In his famous Madison Garden speech of 1936 FDR declared war on “Government by organized money,” and he won that war. Progressive taxation and mass unionization drastically reduced the wealth and even more drastically diminished the power of big money.

Children have spent more time in prison than the child abusers named in the Epstein Files.

On March 26, I look forward to joining my friend and colleague @michaelemann.bsky.social @upenn.edu in beautiful Philadelphia for this important symposium on climate and disease discussing our book #ScienceUnderSiege web.sas.upenn.edu/pcssm/calend...

This guy (@glutelord.bsky.social) is correct about a lot of the discourse around "looksmaxxing" and so much of guys' ideas of what men should look like, and he should keep saying it.

Oh, I bet he's a huge fan of Matthew 19:21 'Jesus said to him, "If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."'

One of my former grad students was involved in this. Really cool.

Everyone knows that when the federal government deports a murderer, Wal Mart adds another 38 cents to the hourly wage of its cashiers. Come on, it's just basic economics!

For months I've banged the drum that "not sure" has become the safe harbor answer for "Republicans who know Trump's probably wrong, but don't want to admit it." Today's Economist/YouGov Poll: Is Donald Trump racist? 41% of Republicans have No Opinion. d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/ec...

At the same Texas concentration camp: “There were children in Dilley who were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, several mothers told me. Recently, two cases of measles were discovered in the center.“ Extreme child abuse as state policy. www.propublica.org/article/life...

James Talarico: No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes. The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%.

I'll say it again: the eternal focus on what hasn't been released has the effect of normalizing the horror of what we already know.

Yes.

Rev. Jesse Jackson, the fearless civil rights icon and trailblazing political leader who helped open the door for Barack Obama, has died, his family announced. Sen. Raphael Warnock joins The Takeout to reflect on Jackson’s enduring legacy. 🙏 #JesseJackson #CivilRights #BlackHistory 🙏

This Should Be The End Of MAGA And The Republican Party…. Not a single person implicated in the Epstein files is facing criminal charges, but DHS has subpoenaed the personal information of U.S. citizens that criticize ICE.

Jesse Jackson came and met with a group of young organizers, including myself, during the height of Occupy Wall Street to share his wisdom about movements. He sat with us for several hours answering questions and giving advice. He was a giant—but still made time for the little things.

Thank you, Victor. I spent a few weeks on this. As usual, it’s always a negotiation with length. So a few other bon mots: 1. The admin has issued DOJ guidance to challenge state laws that would regulate AI www.wired.com/story/ai-sup...

Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela. Which is 6X more than the cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, and heart disease cures they've cut to pay for it. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Today marks the first legislative session since our friend Melissa, her husband Mark, and their dog Gilbert were murdered. It will never be the same again. She accomplished so much as our beloved Speaker, and her legacy will benefit Minnesotans for generations to come.

The United States is a very young Country that exists on what was for many thousands of years a land occupied by Native Indian tribes that are not White. Like Australia white inhabitants have NO right to lecture others on how to live when we occupy traditionally NON WHITE lands.

“If this guy isn’t impeached and removed, what’s the point to the whole Constitution? You can’t have a fucking criminal running the government for his own benefit screwing the people. And that’s what we have.”

Last night I mentioned only 8% of hearing parents learn enough sign to have a 2-way conversation with their deaf child. Many reasons, but a lot of stems from misinfo. Here's a letter of mine where I busted some of the biggest ASL/ language acquisition myths: buttondown.com/signs+wonder...

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Can confirm. My father mainlined Rush Limbaugh (rot in piss!) his entire career and I was a captive audience in the back seat until I left home at 18. To say that Jesse Jackson was presented as a literal demon would be underselling it.

" But his campaigns for president in 1984 and 1988 helped create the image of what the modern Democratic Party seeks to be but rarely seems to achieve: a multiracial coalition of voters dedicated to economic fairness." RIP Jesse Jackson. www.huffpost.com/entry/jesse-...

I. AM. SOMEBODY. ✊🏽 Rest in Power, Reverend Jesse Jackson. youtu.be/NTVwT3j_zqY?...

Reverend Jesse Jackson is an ancestor now. The titans we studied in our history books are gone and we’re all we have left. We’re called to fight, but we’re also called to hope. We’re our only hope. Rest well, Reverend Jackson, and we’ll see you in the morning.

doctors, why haven't you thought of this

A bill to strengthen punishment for child sex trafficking is moving through the Colorado legislature with strong bipartisan support... as a GOP state rep claims there are pedophile rings in the Colorado legislature

Trump is rounding up innocent people while pedophiles are protected or given high-profile roles. The Epstein List alumni are held to a different standard. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

Nothing quite like a famous, influential, award-winning author calling you a poopy-Kleenex-head

Hm, guess what?

"The interview was conducted July 24, 2019, and entered into the FBI’s case files on August 9, the day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell."
