/2 The article and headline don’t arise in a vacuum, they arise on the front page of the New York Times, which has selected a very specific way to approach moral and political issues, characterized by detachment, both-sidesism, and trolling.

The clubby rich pedophile world they're so sad to see gone isn't even "lost" or "gone," it's alive and well in the White House.

Part of how it got there was by the NYTimes running interference for Trump while sitting on the story of a pedophile telling one of its reporters he could ruin Trump.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

A president who pulled every lever, jiggled every handle, and applied every kind of pressure he could think of, up to and including inciting a riot, to prevent his successor from taking office deserves no benefit of the doubt. ICYMI @monacharen.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/its-time-t...

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

@senangusking.bsky.social you don't have to be in the majority to haveca press conference and call out the corruption and abuse of power. Doing absolutely nothing then folding is just a waste of a Senate seat.

I usually don’t like linking to the NYT, but I think it’s important to know that they wrote and published an obituary immediately for Alice Wong. (It selectively left out parts of her disability activism that they didn’t like, of course.)
“One of the things that really gives me joy is the fact that there are so many amazing, brilliant, creative disabled people out there. But part of my rage — and it’s a very real rage — is that most people don’t really know about them.”

In the Obama White House we were so careful to follow the rules, including about use of the seal (which is regulated by statute), that we ran a legal process just to see if we could use the seal for fun on our White House softball team tee shirts!

No joke. The team was called STOTUS.

@cnn.com won't cover the abuse of power.
Here’s a story for every national news outlet:

In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.

“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”

The DNC Chair stands with House Dems to block this deal.

As always, it's feckless leadership and cowardice in the Senate that fucks everything up.
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

@senangusking.bsky.social I have done more to fight fascism than you have, and you're a damn Senator.
You might as well announce your retirement now if you aren't up for the job.
I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

These are the people who forged Electoral College vote certificates and tried to pass them off as real, right in front of the whole country.

Maybe the most insane crime of them all.
