It is abhorrent that the President just threatened death upon members of Congress.
We must condemn all threats of political violence, especially when they come from someone who has incited a violent attack on the Capitol.

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”
The cuts:
📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)
📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)
📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)
📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in.
Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol.

A US President threatening to use the military against civilians in an American city is not normal and journalists who choose to ignore or normalize this should explain their choice to the communities they serve.
