Our campaign held a town hall in Houston — and it was packed.
Anyone was able to show up and ask me any question they wanted.
Unlike our current Senator, I’ll never hide from Texans.

Thread of stories run by Bari Weiss's group blog that did not ask the targets of (frequently uncorroborated) accusations for comment, let alone give them a preemptive veto over the story:
In 2022, Bari Weiss ran this viral first-person piece by a top Levi’s executive. She claimed she was hounded out of the company because of her vocal stance on COVID restrictions.
There are no quotes from the company. Or her colleagues.
Not even a “no comment.”

Worth revisiting this @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social piece in light of the Waymo meltdown over the weekend.
Automated vehicles ignore social contracts and are only beholden to their corporate bosses. Humans are much better equipped to deal with unforeseen situations, and to prioritize human values.

This articulates my exact feelings about San Francisco, the tech industry, & the entire social crisis of Capitalism we are all facing. Ms. Solnit writes with fierce precision & grace, connecting the dots with damning evidence rather than hyperbole.

It's important to remember that, in these arrangements, neither the government nor the owners of the media orgs care whether those put in charge of the media orgs are unethical, incompetent, or run them into the ground by losing all their audience. No one cares, as long as they get quiescence.
Wash Post, CBS News, next CNN?, etc are not money makers. The owners give the Trumpists what they want and get favorable treatment for their other businesses in exchange. Owners make money that way. The regime wants quiescence. No one in this exchange cares if the outlets have audience or profits.

Releasing “heavily redacted” files does not follow the law…
It violates it, and serves no purpose whatsoever.
