I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

It's all asymmetrical, unfair and unbalanced, titled towards right wing grievance and Trump.

All of it.

Matthew Dowd fired for speaking the truth.

Brian Kilmeade still paid despite advocating for the murder of all homeless people.

They’re claiming the signature isn’t real but I’m going to remind everyone that 11000+ photographs and videos were removed from Epstein’s properties by the FBI and this is the tip of the fcking iceberg.

And I think everyone in the GOP knows it.

To spell some shit out unambiguously: fascism requires domestic abuse to propagate itself. Demands it. There is no way to humanely teach your children that might makes right. There is no way to gently love a spouse you think is your genetic intellectual inferior.

These are inextricably linked.

Right, rather than try to shame Republicans for their complicity here, Democrats should simply state -- loudly and repeatedly -- that the Republican Party clearly shields pedophiles.

They'll howl about it, but all of their actions to this point leave no other conclusion.

Today it was confirmed that the president told the world's most infamous pedophile and child sex trafficker: "We have certain things in common."

For any other president, it would be the biggest scandal of their lives, possibly career-ending.

For Trump, it's just Monday.

Boos of Donald Trump heard on ABC's broadcast of US Open. Good | Opinion ABC, ESPN refused to go along with the U.S. Tennis Association's censorship request and aired reaction to President Donald Trump at U.S. Open.

Column: #Florida dementia patient/convicted felon goes to U.S. Open, gets booed by the crowd. The USTA asked broadcasters not to show that -- but they suuuuuuure did. Good for them. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

It’s that time of year again. Back to school for the kids.

This ad should run during every NFL kickoff, every college football opener, every β€œFriday Night Lights.” Because school shootings are as American as football now.

Will the national parks survive Trump? From budget cuts to β€œideological” changes, the Trump administration is shaping the future of the National Park Service.

Budget cuts. Layoffs. Ideological mandates. The future of our public lands is on the line.

This week on Reveal, we investigate how the Trump administration is shaping the future of the National Park Service for the worse.

This is part of it; it’s a display of a kind of wealth. But it’s also meant to intimidate. Every old Trumpist dude I know from home who has this kind of arsenal talks a big game about what’s gonna happen the second somebody messes with him but is quietly terrified of anything new he encounters…

The β€œMake America Healthy” Party just set America’s public health back by decades. It’s shameful.

Caregiving can test you, body and soul. It can also unlock a new sense of self Helping a sick family member over months or years can be an enormous strain. It can also disrupt your identity. Psychologists say embracing this change can open up new ways for caregivers to cope.

Researching a piece on caregiving, and came across this gem by @mcgowankat.bsky.social. Grateful to find her work.

So the @nytimes tried to slime Zohran using hacked materials given to them by an admitted race scientist/eugenicist who they kept anonymous even though he is publicly known β€” about races he checked on an application to a school he didn’t get into?

Pathetic. A scandal in itself.

Trump’s trillions transfer has passed.
