I grew up mostly without TV, but even so, I knew the value of Public Broadcasting. On this dreary, stupid day when the Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been dissolved, I shout out some of its heroes — people who made us a little more conscious.

If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money. Famously, we know that's people working in child care.

Quoteposting to diverge here: Goddamn Google search is the most mansplaining experience these days. I saw this and thought 'glenn greenwald nazi prison' would be enough search terms to find out what this story is.
What I *GOT* was a lecture on how GG has never been in a Nazi Prison.

he called me a Nazi and told me that I was verging on libel. my response was "why would I take legal advice from you. the last Nazi you represented is going to die in prison."
say, remember when some guy on twitter smoked him? "the last Nazi you represented is going to die in prison", something like that.

Sometimes I just want a peek into Merrick Garland's finances and fears over the past decade. Was it really just gross incompetence?

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?

Look at how much stronger putting the "Maduro sucked" bit second makes this
Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.

Credit to WaPo for doing this story, when the NYT and WSJ haven't.
The only mention of Melissa Hortman over the last day or so is in stories today about Waltz not running for re-election.
Our national media is still, incredibly, after a fucking decade, not ready or capable to meet the moment.

I love this article, and I think there are threads of it that can apply to a larger issue of American business people wanting to treat women’s sports like a life style brand, with the nwsl being at a point of crisis with it
