It’s even worse than that. Here’s the post she responded to, and if you read down to the third post, it’s someone else saying “shot an essayist just to watch him die” with 500 likes. I guess that’s… different? Somehow??
Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

And she literally posted it in response to an article about how Johnny Cash was—who would’ve known?—cool, actually. And not a dork, as the author originally thought

They're saying they suspended Sarah Kendzior because she jokingly referenced a Johnny Cash song.

And they're not...embarrassed by that choice...which is quite something.
The account owner of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social was suspended for 72 hours for expressing a desire to shoot the author of an article. The post, made 11/10, stated: "I want to shoot the author of this article just to watch him die." 1/2

She's finally been sworn in.

But the 50 days in limbo won't be forgotten:

“For Speaker Johnson to be so dismissive of 813,000 people in southern Arizona is not acceptable,” Grijalva says. “And it really highlights how corrupt this system can be under a certain kind of leader.”

Said it before, will say it again, the Epstein Files are THE story.

Not the only story, but it's the story which can and will weaken and possibly bring down Trump and now the GOP and even many powerful man who have escaped accountability for years.

Keep pushing and digging.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

Today's Epstein news reminds me that in 1994 the Washington Post called for an independent counsel investigation of Whitewater "even though -- and this should be stressed -- there has been no credible charge in this case that either the president or Mrs. Clinton did anything wrong."

i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.
