Strong agree. Americans are so silly. Wearing masks when you're sick or in crowded areas or just because you want to is fine. Pretend its a gun if it makes Americans feel better
Wrote about how disappointing it is that Jon Stewart punched down on people masking at @motherjones.com, when people should mind their own business and leave mask wearers be. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Hey Jon Stewart, jokes about wearing masks aren't funny
Critics of the Daily Show host say he's a hypocrite.

It's funny IMO that Berkeley, California was one of very first jurisdictions to ban straws/plastic bags -- you know, for the environment --

But soon as we learned the actual leading source of plastic pollution?

One of the biggest microplastic pollution sources isn’t straws or grocery bags – it’s your tires
Every few years, the tires on your car wear thin and need to be replaced. But where does that lost tire material go? The answer, unfortunately, is often waterways, where the tiny microplastic particle...

Devoting $1.8 BILLION of public money to an NFL stadium (60% of $3 billion) is indefensible public policy.
Kansas City Chiefs are moving to Kansas. Details of stadium package announced
The news came shortly before a council of top Kansas lawmakers voted unanimously to approve an incentive package that would allow the Kansas City Chiefs to move to Kansas.

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public
Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.

Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

The realest mf around.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Why would the NYT publish such hateful garbage? Why elevate this man with a history of writing anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian hate?

Again, using a tragedy to promote extremism, hate, and justify Israel's genocide.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

If you're in San Francisco, there's a pop-up market this Saturday at 1 Columbus Ave. A bunch of menswear guys, along with shop owners, are selling stuff from their private wardrobes. Some of my stuff will be there. Ticket prices are $30 for 12pm-1pm preview hour, then $5 after 1pm.
