I'm looking for a good curated list of news from slightly left/centrist news sources that may tilt my MAGA parents (in their 80s) a bit.
Suggestions? Anything?
A curated list of middle-of-the road is my best hope.

🧵 Our mutual aid hub has been a HUGE draw for our immense volunteer base, many of whom have never wanted to be involved politics before now.
This model isn’t just about the immediate impacts: It’s about showing our values, building a community, and reaching voters — without selling our soul!

Turning campaigns into mutual aid hubs isn’t good for campaigns or mutual aid! Your campaign manager should be entirely too busy to schlep around 5600 tampons!

Congratulations, those of you who decided to platform fringe voices and create a climate of fear and hate out of ignorance because those voices insisted a non-problem was a problem. They're now on an HHS stage trying to ruin children's lives. You will live with the harm you have done forever.

It's sad that I agree with this post.
Unpopular opinion but I’d much rather see Reed Hastings in charge of DC Comics, Looney Tunes, and the greatest and best-maintained film library on earth than Larry Ellison’s worst kid. Hope everybody at the cable networks finds a safe berth somewhere

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

All these grok questions have me thinking:
This all illustrates how the output of a LLM is easily affected by the desires/attitudes/immediate needs of the creator.
So if someone kills themself due the the suggestions of the LLM, the creators are more likely to be at fault.

The truth being that Larry Summers is an almost unbelievably disgusting and corrupt person, who also isn’t nearly as smart as he thinks he is. (Lot of that going around in The Meritocracy these days) ...
