It was great to talk today with UFCW Local 7 in CO who recently ended a 12-day strike involving 10,000 King Soopers workers. Kroger: it’s time to do what’s right. Negotiate a fair contract with your workers. Stop ripping off consumers with high prices at your grocery stores.

MSNBC worries about the perception that they’re not fair to R’s while Fox eats an $800m libel settlement to preserve its ability to lie about Ds.
That’s the asymmetry that gives illiberalism a structural advantage.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

they just lied
they lied, and they lied, and they lied, and they won because of it and now they're claiming they had a mandate to do all of the things they lied about not doing and many more besides
the press bears an enormous amount of responsibility for all of this

This Politico story from last October shows how easy it is to launder lies through the press. It claimed Trump would ban anyone tied to Project 2025 from a job in a second Trump administration.
“Clearly people working on Project 2025 are blacklisted,” said an unidentified Trump insider. 1/4🧵

It's really disheartening that the tech media gets the urgency of the current moment and is reporting it like it is and our political media and big media institutions are just pretending like nothing is happening.
EMERGENCY PIECE: Previous reports that Musk's DOGE programmers only have "read only" access is inaccurate. I can confirm what @wired.com first reported at 1 AM today that they have Read & WRITE access with a source in BFS referring to this as "apocalyptic"

Many pro-recycling groups are calling plastic recycling in all of its forms a “false solution” that mainly serves to relieve consumer guilt, Karen Mockler writes.
Opinion: Time to end the lie of plastics recycling and get real about reducing their use
A 2016 behavioral economics study found that when consumers think their waste might be recycled, they worry less about the amount of trash they generate and produce more of it. Ideally, we’d do it …

Sometimes a Nazi salute is just a Nazi salute. Given that a longtime Nazi did it, no need to overthink that. For fuck’s sake.
