Acton: I’m running against a guy, Vivek Ramaswamy, who has said that people are struggling in Ohio because they’re lazy, they’re mediocre, they’re not working hard enough. And I can absolutely tell you that is not the Ohioans I know or see. I think he’s completely out of touch.

Hey Pam Bondi. This is John Mitchell. Gird your loins because you actually work for the people and not the president and you will eventually find out what that means.

I am even more incandescently furious about this heinous take by Megyn Kelly stack ranking levels of child sexual abuse. Take note: when a young person under 18 wants to begin transitioning with help of their doctor and parent, she loudly proclaims them children and attacks.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

This is so awesome. Hats off to these kids for brilliant perception of a market gap and a way to serve the public, teaching themselves to fix it, and even a great brand. I wish more adults in Silicon Valley were focused on these kinds of challenges

Thanks @backwardsriver.bsky.social for writing this, on 1850s Fugitive Slave Law resistance:
"The [slave-catchers] complained that some in 'the mob came up to us and told us to leave, saying that we, or anybody else, could not take a negro from Chicago.'”

Chicago has always defied kidnappings of our neighbors - Chicago Reader
Even after the passage of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act, local officials and everyday people resisted the legalized abductions of men, women, and children who had escaped slavery

Remember Woodward & Bernstein? Exposed a massive scandal, got a president impeached?
Bernstein's kid wrote this wretched piece of shit. I don't know where you can find a better symbol of American media's decline. Just nauseating.

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.
I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.
