All this craven ass-kissing in corporate media for someone who's perhaps the least popular and most divisive president in modern history.
Their coverage -- presenting Trump as an unstoppable force riding a huge mandate -- is just bizarre. Almost seems like they're trying to convince themselves.

New Marist poll: Trump starts with a net-negative favorability rating, 44% favorable, 49% unfavorable. This destroys the idea Trump has a mandate. Wish Democratic leaders would see these polls and realize Trump is not popular. Stop talking common ground and start fighting!

I hope that the ceasefire deal truly means an end to the vicious, murderous bombardment of Palestine and I also know that there are not enough ceasefire deals to cover the dead.
The United States supplied the weapons and Israel used them.
Never forget.

kinda funny that all it took to defeat traffic in the most crowded city in the country was only a simple $9 congestion relief zone

After 24 years, that the TSA's false positive rate is so high and false negative rate is so low is a huge failure of policy implementation.

I spent most of my adult life watching schools say they can't expel professors for sexually assaulting and harassing students and colleagues only to see how quickly they react over social media posts against genocide
Maura Finkelstein, a former tenured professor at Muhlenberg College, was fired for sharing a post by Palestinian poet Remi Kenazi on her Instagram story.
She was fired for pro-Palestine speech. She's a Jewish professor.

Colleges are not required to respond to protests with crackdowns the way that NYU, Yale and so many others have. This is a choice--and a terrible one.
