The vigilante meme of Minneapolis: my latest for @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Jeff Bezos, journalistic supervillain: my latest for @thenation.com thenation.com/article/society/washington-post-layoffs-analysis-jeff-bezos/?nc=1

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

A DAY FOR GAZA The Nation, as part of its ongoing commitment to cover Gaza, devotes its entire Feb. 3 website to writers, photographers, thinkers who are in or from Gaza. “Collectively, the pieces embody an enduring affirmation of Gaza’s refusal, in the face of the world’s neglect, to be erased.”

Time for Dems to get vertebrate: my latest for @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

GOP runs BS investigations of Benghazi, servers, Hunter's laptop, etc. Dems confront the most serious scandals in postwar era and they're: "seems like a lot of work."

This is from the NYT masthead editorial about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The highlighted line invalidates not just the editorial, but the very idea of newspaper editorials crafted by the consensus of a board. Better to publish nothing at all than to publish a line like this.

Literally EVERYTHING else aside: Officers involved in shootings - even shootings that everybody agrees were justified - always take time off to emotionally process their experience, go to therapy, process it. Sending somebody right back out says "this is an everyday part of your job, expect it."

Really looking forward to the plague of frogs at the next JD Vance press conference.

Do you know how hard this is to do

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

For all the savvy Dem consultant types insisting that the response to Renee Good's murder should be a call for more ICE training: Shooter Jonathan Ross WAS A FIREARMS TRAINER

It's not a game, you fucking imbeciles

Among other things, the whole point of reporting is to convey information to people who were not in the room.

“As a reasonable centrist, I think the paramilitary death squads need better training.”
