The problem is, Dems treat norms like laws, which they observe, and Republicans treat laws like norms, which they break.

Also, to my friends who struggle with their writing, and think they aren’t good enough, please know that whatever else, at least you can’t be as bad/contrived as Olivia Nuzzi.
(Also a note to myself)
Vanity Fair's West Coast Editor Olivia Nuzzi was a star political correspondent until scandal led her into exile—and to a California up in flames.

In an excerpt from her book, ‘American Canto,’ she takes stock of scorched earth.
Olivia Nuzzi's 'American Canto': Read the Exclusive Excerpt
She flamed out and she faded away. 'Vanity Fair'’s West Coast Editor returns to the written word to survey scorched earth.

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

Socialist candidate: here are a series of small-bore, quality of life proposals financed by slightly higher taxes on the rich

Editorial board all the way across the country: this will destroy the city and perhaps the world, the only good idea is data centers

Liberalism believes in the technological reproduction of an individualist middle class. Revolution is an ask that we stop the capitalist cycle of eternal return and history repetition that we are locked into by defining politics in terms of thermostatic parliamentarianisms! Refuse the cyclical!

the “five administrations” part really hits. playing political football with Epstein like it’s a gotcha on Trump does such an injustice to how long this network of abusers has been protected by secrecy
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza

It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias

Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations

She fought for the people of Gaza

She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

I actually do think it may be important to explain to men that there is a difference between their attractions/desires and their actions. You can have all kinds of fucked up stuff in your head and it does no one any harm. The second you act in a way that crosses someone's boundaries you're shit.

This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country

A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

It used to be so much easier on the internet. You’d have a video of a dramatic chipmunk and everyone would agree it was perfect but then you could add a little lightsaber to him and everyone would go huzzah now the text is even richer

Hey the Nazis did this to my grandparents so this sounds cool @teamlabouruk.bsky.social
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs

This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

AP: "With most of Gaza's schools destroyed, hundreds of thousands of children struggle to get education."

My dear friend Tasneem and her family in Gaza have lost their home, their livelihood, their security. They rely on our donations.

Please give to Tasneem. And to others. ❤️

If anyone in your life is justifying this coverup by saying 15 year olds are legal. Do. Not. Let. Them. Around. Your. Children. 🗣️

I had the delightful experience of teaching high school for about a year, which is how I know that 14-year-olds are kids, 15-year-olds are kids, 16-year-olds are kids, and 17-year-olds are kids. 18-year-olds? In my experience, usually kids

What we're seeing with Republicans turning on Trump is in no way a repudiation of Trumpism and the Republican white nationalist project, but instead the effect of these people realizing the regime failed to consolidate power as promised and Trump is physically deteriorating in public view.
Massie: "I would remind my Republican colleagues who are decided how to vote, Donald Trump can protect you in red districts right now by giving you an endorsement, but by 2030, he's not gonna be the president and you will have voted to protect pedophiles if you don't vote to release those files."
