I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

How a California prisoner allegedly ran Alaska’s fentanyl trade from inside his cell - Los Angeles Times i think it’s people like this guy who clearly are clever AF who fall through a system/society that doesn’t find a place for his level of strategy. what do you think?

They’re going to shutdown the government before they even have a chance to run it.

should be 200 years… not 20.

bummer. just had my first block on here. #BlockingIsSelfCare

A sense of defenselessness, of being unheard and unhelped, has become the common American culture, the thing that unites people on left and right. And we need to understand that deeply if we’re going to stop political violence from spreading further. youtu.be/_VaabzCALlQ?...

ICYMI, I proposed a bipartisan Stand Up To Trump Freedom Fund for lawyers, personal security, etc. so people can fight back if they are investigated, sued or fired. Should be set up now so people voting next month on Trump nominations know it's there. www.thebulwark.com/p/funders-sh...

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

Ugh FINE I'll show up to work "sober" to lead the department of defense. YES without "sexually assaulting" everyone, christ anything else?

Pete Hegseth was forced to step down from both of the nonprofit advocacy groups that he ran in the face of serious allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct, @janemayer.bsky.social reports.

Abbott elementary starts at 8pm this week with an hour long special. Please spread the word! 🎄 🫡

What could Biden do to protect abortion rights before he leaves office? Several things, as I reported last month: -Preemptively pardon abortion pill providers who could be charged under Comstock -Complete EMTALA investigations -Finalize repro-related regulations www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

…& now here I am

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

My mom, as many know, has said some truly unpleasant things to me over the years, but this far surpasses that. While this mother has apologized for that letter, it sounds pretty truthful to me. I cannot imagine ever writing such a thing to my sons unless they deserved it, even at a tense time.

ditto.

10yo me: Why does mom fall asleep on the couch at 7pm when we are watching TV ugh 44yo me: Oh

sometimes this app reminds me of a childhood story: when i was 6, i interviewed/tested at a school in LA (john thomas dye). i had to do a reading test, and it was about a bird in the sky. probably because i was nervous, i kept mis-pronouncing sky as “ski”… because of my last name. *curtsies*

I first tweeted this out almost a year ago and it’s unreal how often I’ve been able to reuse it #trumpindictment #lfg

a hill i will die on: the car company of a car which has a false alarm go off randomly before 7.30 am should be fined.

I wrote about the murder of Jordan Neely, scared men, and who gets to stand their ground https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/04/opinion/jordan-neely-killed.html

The way we build & grow social networks and apps can amplify and exacerbate the existing inequities in society. But it doesn’t have to be that way. (This piece is from 7 years ago; it’s about how networks are shaped by who gets access.) https://medium.com/humane-tech/network-inequality-3309fb1aac59
