I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

Got wrapped up in election stuff, but have a new piece at @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social about an NWSL coach unabashedly using Chat GPT to craft her defensive strategy--and how much I fucking hate that it worked.

In March, Bethany Balcer stepped away from soccer to focus on her mental health and rediscover her love of the game. Tonight, on World Mental Health Day, she scored in extra time to split points & keep Louisville’s playoff dreams alive ❤️

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to:

•admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states
•abolish ICE
•grant citizenship to any immigrant
•disband the 5th Circuit
•expand the Supreme Court

Seriously: Why the hell not?

Trump’s corruption is staggering - there is no real comparable example in U.S. history.

Estimating the scale of his grift is difficult, but it’s at least in the hundreds of millions of dollars (cash) - all the way up to billions (cash + assets).

Since January.

Why do major outlets continue to characterize Fox News as a "news" organization? New court documents—again—expose how it is really the heart of the Trump propaganda machine.

The NHL's Dallas Stars bought up all the ice rinks in the Dallas metro area, in several cases got taxpayer money to build the rinks, and now control ice time for youth hockey, jacking up club fees and forcing leagues to play by their rules. Wild story.
