What’s worse is the impact just over the border in Mexico. They get none of the tourism money and face worse environmental and safety issues. One ton of launch debris had to be cleaned up from beaches after a recent launch.

The NYT covered but downplayed it A headline said "thousands" participated. And another article claimed they don't "count" protestors, despite having a record of tracking much smaller protests:
For ex, this 2009 NYT article covered the much smaller Tea Party protests was chock full of estimates

NYT this morning had a specific article saying they don’t count people in protests.
Below an excerpt from article on the Tea Party protests in 2009 which includes MANY estimates of each city where protests occurred.

Ellison’s son has a sneer rather than a smile. Like so many children of the ultra rich, likely emotionally scarred and with a perverted vision of the world

The whole bullshit "warrior ethos" is Hogseth’s sick view that the only point of the military is to kill people - not to accomplish an objective - but as the end in itself.

Yes! It’s unconscionable to see intergovernmental institutions like the World Bank, IMF, OECD and UN continue using X.

It was breezy yesterday so the shooter was quite a marksman. To be able to read wind and apply a wind hold or turret correction and hit a target (≈10 cm) at 150 m in a 20 km/h crosswind you need skilled marksman-level wind-calling & adjustment ability, plus a decent rifle/optic.

Another NYT article that normalizes Trump Kennedy policies on vaccines their dismantling of institutions, tolerance for disinformation, and personalist style of rule. It treats the relationship like palace intrigue — who gets along with whom, who gets fired, how the White House feels.

The NYT framing of Trump “displaying his volatile side” implies that he sometimes veers from normalcy. EVERYTHING he does is volatile. His “winning” an EU trade deal? The NYT ignores that only congress can legally ratify trade. It’s not normal nor a “win” - unless you frame it by Trump’s ego alone

Wait, I thought that was Giuliani? Maybe the same person?

Every tweet and quote from Vance should come with one of the many meme photos. We should not show a modicum of respect to such a smarmy opportunist.

This is a classic authoritarian playbook. Surround yourself with corrupt officials. If things go south, you can use their past transgressions against them. BTW: We need to stop using their best photoshopped photos.

This is another outrageously bad hiring. It wouldn’t matter if he were a genius, this type of role is about managing people and programs that can save lives of done well. No 22 year old has the experience. Period. But let’s not lose site of the most dangerous Trump hire

I agree! Every time any article posts a picture it should be one that ridicules and humiliates these thin skinned magats.
