Alums should be suing the university for devaluing their degrees.

Danish guy gets it

Always read David Berri.

Okay, so, need some advice. What's the best way to restrict an audience on a podcast? Like, if you want subscribers to get early access to it?

. @CBSNews on Sunday: "We work for you. That means you come first. Not our advertisers. Not politicians. Not corporate interests, including the corporate owners of CBS News." CBS News on Tuesday: "Marco Rubio, we salute you."

Every year @erininthemorning.com puts together a list of trans Girl Scouts that sell cookies. If you’d like to purchase some, please consider these girls. Trans youth have been under a vicious attack so it would be nice to show some support. Thanks 🩵🤍🩷 www.erininthemorning.com/p/2026-trans...

A reminder that conservatives who hate Trump and post a lot about hating Trump are still conservatives.

I posted about The Accountant of Auschwitz recently, and I'm doing it again because it's as important a film as I've ever seen. Holding people accountable for their wrongs is the only way for a country to heal. Streaming on Netflix.

White House: "Since January 6, 2021, Nancy Pelosi spent over 3 years and nearly $20 million in taxpayer funds on her partisan Select Committee..." Trump: (spends $110M of taxpayer money on golf trips)

The financial elite are morally bankrupt.* I know that's not news, but ... wow. (*excluding MacKenzie Scott)

The war on women continues. Samantha is being dishonorably discharged because SHE reported sexual behaviors. Trust is broken when survivors are not believed. #Pinks

It hasn’t hit PACER, but Judge Hellerstein ordered medical attention for Nicolas Maduro’s wife, Cilia Flores, following her arraignment.

Berwyn Cicero Rapid Response reports just now that a significant number of federal agents have returned to Chicago this afternoon. Widespread community alert has been issued:

One thing the left needs to prioritize in the mid-terms and 2028 are candidates who vow to hold Republicans accountable for all the illegal acts of this administration. Letting everyone off the hook for bad behavior is how we wound up here in the first place.

Copy Editing Matters, from HHS's release on the new childhood vaccine schedule: All the diseases will still be available to anyone who wants them

For the first time in a while, I'm seriously looking at reactivating my law license - which means I'm going to have about 10,000 hours of CLE to catch up on. Bleh. I just don't know if working in media is ever going to be a stable job again.

I consider Sam Rockwell's Oscar for Three Billboards to be an acknowledgement that the Oscars erred in not recognizing his work in Galaxy Quest.

Glory to the Republic and those who defended her

This is exactly the same as whatever they think "antifa" is.

We stan our "liberal Chicago democrat Pope."

How do we get @govpritzker.illinois.gov to do this in Illinois?

The gov't has filed a motion to dismiss the class action Broadview ICE facility lawsuit for containing too many "impertinent" details about detainees. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71832...

10/10. No notes.

Derp- Be Like Mike was Gatorade. As an aside, I did a podcast about the murder of James Jordan, and while everyone was stingy about letting us use their news/game footage audio, the guy who wrote Be Like Mike let us use the jingle for free and was super-nice about it. His name is Ira Antelis.

Sometimes I think we sleep on how great Nike commercials were in the 90s. Mars Blackmon Be Like Mike Instant Karma A bunch of bangers.

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

The bots are stepping up their game…

God, trying to make sense of any of this for a daily newsletter is absolutely impossible right now. There's no connective tissue between any of these actions; it's all just murderous insanity.

See, also: "ARE YOU CRAZY?", "No one cares," and all posts that try to make out Russia and China as "the good guys."

If you haven't read this book, I urge you to do so. Part of the reason I recognize so much of the Nazi playbook in the Trump administration is because of this work. Yes, it's fiction, but based on real stories and seemingly meticulously researched.

Heads up, Chicago.

Of all the stupid arguments I've seen on this site, "Leave the Democrats alone, they are doing everything they can!" has to be the dumbest. They are not, by any stretch of the imagination, doing "all they can.

Goddammit. Parker deactivated her account. Congrats on chasing an important voice off Bluesky, jerks. Fire social media into the sun.

“The Emperor has the most beautiful clothes in the world! Look at how incredible his new clothes are!”

I just want everyone to step back and realize how often it's a trans woman getting bullied off social media.

They tried to fix it. I'm sobbing. 😂 www.courtlistener.com/docket/69741...

Twitter is owned by a fascist, Facebook and the Washington Post have gone MAGA, and now CBS News is about to be turned into far-right state TV. Here’s why America has a liberal media bias problem.

NEW: The First Circuit GRANTS the govenment’s Motion for Stay Pending Appeal in the case to withhold Medicaid funds from Planned Parenthood. Judge Talwani granted a preliminary injunction in December.

I've written and deleted posts about this about 10 x already. I'll just say this: People are struggling right now for many reasons. There's been a real shift in how people reply to each other on this site over the last few weeks. Please be kind. You never know what someone is going through.

No, Trump's incursion into Venezuela is not legal. Here's why.

THIS. When I was a public defender, every client I represented had a story, a reason, a path that led them to the criminal justice system. Many of them were tragic and understandable. Lumping them all together as "criminals" dehumanizes them all.

NEW: In the Alien Enemies Act case, Judge Boasberg DENIES the government's motion for an extension of time to file its proposal either to facilitate the return of Plaintiffs to the United States or to otherwise provide them with hearings that satisfy the requirements of due process by today.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Wow. Watch them argue that Maduro is not entitled to the protection of the Constitution because he's not American.

No, Trump's incursion into Venezuela is not legal. Here's why.

My kid stormed off in a huff to walk the dogs whe the #Bears were down 13-0, so now he has to stay out there until they complete the comeback.

Even when Brady is saying complimentary things about my team, there’s just something about his voice, and his general ….existence.
