Greta Thunberg annoys the right because she's a reminder that it's possible to stay true to your moral principles even when it's inconvenient, and they fucking hate that

She was then, as she is now, on the front line of the final defence of the American Republic.
Maybe it's time to have some humility and fucking fall in behind her?

It’s so annoying that we all have to just continually point out how rules around/between decorum and violation are applied asymmetrically to vulnerable groups versus the people who are always hassling them, and it’s extra insulting that the people in charge are trying to lol it away.

"We're losing because there are always moments when we lose" is a lesson that Ta-Nahisi Coates understands intuitively, and that Ezra Klein has never had to, and that difference speaks volumes about American history.

Huntington's progression slowed by experimental gene therapy
An experimental gene therapy slowed Huntington’s by up to 75 percent in a small clinical trial. While not a cure, it may give patients longer lives.

It took just three days to get Sinclair to back down, and what it got in exchange for agreeing to put Kimmel back on the air was...nothing. This is not what happens every time you stand up to a bully, but if you don't fight back, you'll never know if you would have won.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

I've said this before, but IMO we need to spend less time OBSERVING that Trump is engaged in authoritarian corruption and more trying to use language to build pressure to stop it.
Same with Tom Homan's bribe. Yes, it was a bribe. Who can we embarrass politically for letting it happen.

Trump’s directive to Pam Bondi should be seen for what it effectively was: a confession in which he acknowledged his guilt in a corrupt and authoritarian scheme. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Why Trump’s directive to AG Bondi should be seen as an impeachment-level scandal
The president isn’t just being accused of trying to weaponize federal law enforcement, he’s now publicly flaunting his corrupt and authoritarian efforts.
