Columbia and Northwestern are the academic homes to the most prestigious journalism schools in the country and they are the two universities that caved to the Trump administration’s extortion demands that are directly connected to the First Amendment. Just gonna sit with that for a while.

When family starts arguing politics at Thanksgiving, remember to pause and take a deep breath. The extra oxygen will give you a little boost as you flip the table.

AM will be all the madder for that. It makes me a little happier. And yet ... AM has won, simply ... he has taken his revenge ...
I have no mouth. And I must scream, Charlie Brown.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

I find it shocking that Mickey Mouse co-creator "Ub Iwerks" is a real name and not, like, a secret anagram in a children's mystery chapter book.

Trying to find fact by comparing 1920s newspapers is like the "Blind Men and the Elephant" if a couple of the blind men were also just making shit up.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

This comes on the same day they're trying to pin felony charges on a guy who threw a sandwich at an ICE agent in DC.
Loevy gets into the feds' use of tear gas.
Loevy: "Tear gas is a serious weapon, do you agree?"
Hewson: "No."
Loevy: "Did you know that tear gas has been banned in warfare?"
Hewson: "I did not know that."

How is this real?
Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

A thread that starts with "Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy" and just keeps getting better is a true joy.
Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.
Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.
'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

War is Hellmann's.
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."
