It only took them 19 paragraphs to get to the significant part of the story. Trumpies now control the most influential social media platform.

When Trump bullies/bribes/threatens/blackmails the winner of this year's World Cup into giving him the trophy, will be believe that he was the star player or the coach of the team?

At 5 years old, my son understood that stealing a trophy didn't make you the actual winner.

Just came across this line in David Sedaris's piece in the latest issue, and the social studies teacher in me feels compelled to point out that AA didn't come up with that line. It was Fannie Lou Hamer.

Poor Larry. It seems Epstein had him on speed dial. And the House Dems who released the photo decided to redact some names, but not his!

If your faith prevents you from taking a stand against an apartheid state carrying out genocide, you have no business representing anyone in Congress.

Denmark's Social Democrats held as proof of Pollingism's core thesis: take up what polls as "popular" & ignore or echo oppo on scapegoating. And, yes, this can win you battles but as Danes (& Dutch) show - it moves electorate toward oppo long term.

It's time for reporters, like this one at Politico, to stop asserting Epstein's suicide as fact.

We now have 2:53 of excised jailhouse video and allegedly oversleeping guards to give us strong reasons to suspect he was murdered.

If there was any use to Tapper’s dumb book, it would have been for it to come out before the Dems made the same mistake again.

Hello my NYC electeds (on Bluesky). How about a little pressure on the NYPD to charge some of the folks chanting "death to Arabs" while assaulting a woman and her police escort with hate crimes?

Or do white folks in Brooklyn get a pass?
