Palestinian, black, trans lives matter. White people chose DEI instead of adhering to Civil Rights Act altogether. We’re still dealing w/after effects of Reconstruction & longstanding, feckless liberal class unwilling to confront fascists. MMT. Punch up.

Cognitive dissonances abound in the land of conservative fantasy land
The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Where is the MAHA outcry?

I wrote a book about US media’s complicity in the Gaza genocide. It's available for pre-order. It’s a data-driven and, I hope, thorough account of how center-left media sold the American public on mass death in Gaza.

Only way for people like carville to permanently go away is to Larry summers them, aka something truly seismic as the Epstein files is the extremely high bar in our society reserved for neoliberal reactionary centrists like carville and others. Sad statement but largely true
I see that NYT has published another inane op-ed from James Carville raging against "woke"

Surprise surprise The liberal members of the court respect stare decisis even when they disagree but the conservatives don’t - yet the liberals are the “activist” side. Messaging and framing matters. The courts ARE political entities but are treated by Dems and MSM as if they’re not
Sotomayor says she won't overturn Feres because of stare decisis, but urges Congress to repeal it by statute. Gorsuch would take up this case but doesn't write. Interesting split. Unfortunate result for service members. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

People with the emotional maturity and empathy of mean middle school bullies are in charge of most of the shit around us and that we rely on. You can’t respond to this with normal persuasive discourse and debates about “ideas” you have to foreground their bad faith, their stupidity about most things
Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

Scoop: As questions swirl around Olivia Nuzzi, I’ve learned she’s been relatively absent in the day-to-day at Vanity Fair, as the magazine continues to weather the storm the controversial hire brought through 1 World Trade Center

Mainstream press glowing up these MFs for decades & now mask off, chickens home to roosts. They were always like this but those glowing new Yorker, Atlantic, NYT, Wired coffee table pieces convinced enough mass audience otherwise & built these blue chip brands on the back of that broad ignorance

"Delila has not seen her father since his Oct. 21 arrest while working on a home improvement project in the West Ridge neighborhood. The 45-year-old remains in custody at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility more than 1,500 miles away in El Paso, Texas."
Her dad was taken by immigration agents. Now a 12-year-old girl fears she’s lost her only living parent.
The separation illustrates a tragic consequence of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown: children left behind after a parent is detained or deported.

After witnessing Operation Midway Blitz and the impact it had on Chicagoland, I traveled to Charlotte to observe Operation Charlotte's Web. I love my country, and that includes all of it.

Here are some of my observations and what you can expect if this comes to your city.

A longtime critique of MSM by inveterate press watchers not boxed in by tropes about liberal vs right wing press (there’s just one press, “corporate”), this is known simply as “horserace coverage,” a cousin to “bothsides” and “palace intrigue.” They’re all children of “blind neutrality.”
What a strange framing and characterization. How does one describe his blatantly dishonest, racist question about taxes as “press[ing] the Mayor-elect on his policy proposals”? In what way does this lying troll emerge as a “winner“?

Reactionary centrists can never just call the “bad thing” the name it actually is. I think part of it is that it implicates their entire career & worldview theve espoused the entire time: they’ve been assuring us these little tweaks @ the margins were all we needed to fix shit. They were wrong
Wow what a sentence from Matt Yglesias saying that we’re “witnessing extreme outlier presidency in terms of personalistic rule” 🤌🏽

$200K+ starting salary for a “deportation judge” but forgiving manufactured student loan debt is a line too far

DOJ is now recruiting for immigration judges by calling them “deportation judges.”

That’s seems really bad.

The direct correlation between literally every Trumpian charge against an illiberal, corrupt left boogeyman & his opponents and him actually doing the things he accuses them of doing is a factor of 1.
