Shocker from Chris Murphy: We May Not Have a Democracy for Much Longer

open.spotify.com/episode/2QSL... Dems, do this!

There is nothing more American coded than taking a photo like this with the president's son, most famous for loving some hookers and blow, his massive hog, and his unexpected pardon. At the White House Christmas party.

America provided most of the 80 thousand tons of explosives to commit #GazaHolocaust.

A lot of politicians and businessmen should be prosecuted for this.

In any normal world, this would be a huge story and controversy given Walker's scandal-plagued background and total lack of qualifications. But we don't live in a normal world, we live in Trump's America where Walker is, like, the 27th or 33rd most controversial nomination from Trump.

Oligarchs aren't as much scared of "the people" (abstract concept) as much as they are of the thought of being subject to violence from below instead of being situated above the violence suffered by the poor and disenfranchised.

"Laws" only have lasting consequences for those of us nowhere near the levers of power

UnitedHealthcare's Leaked Talking Points UHC tells employee to dispute social media criticism, praise slain CEO

Got eclipsed by the manifesto but today I also published talking points UnitedHealthcare is giving employees to instruct them on how to defend the company:

Vertical integration is never in the interest of the consumer

Batman should use his tremendous wealth to have a wash, so he no longer smells bad during Christmas

That's unfortunate.

It isn't discussed enough how much insurance companies waste the time of the doctors themselves. It's one of the main reasons private practice psychiatrists don't take insurance: they don't have the time/resources to deal with all the randomly denied claims.

Let's get this War on Christmas started, folks

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”

We made a comic about Betsy Ross.

Early this morning, an autonomous group of New Yorkers reclaimed an F train car, replacing ads with signage reading “A MAN WAS LYNCHED HERE” and Jordan Neely’s name, as a jury deliberates over whether to convict Daniel Penny, Neely’s killer, with his death last May.

Should a Student Reporter Face Prosecution for Embedding with Protesters? Dilan Gohill won an award for his work at the Stanford Daily, but his coverage of campus protests has set university officials against him.

imagine being a university leader, clearing $500k a year, and pushing for the prosecution of a teenage reporter.

absolute cowards.

Opinion | Centrist Democrats lost the election. They should quit blaming the left. Whether to use he/she pronouns in emails wasn’t a factor in the Harris-Trump race.

I wrote about Seth Moulton, Rahm Emanuel, James Carville and other more centrist Democrats blaming progressives for Harris's defeat. Their arguments, in terms of election analysis, are weak. But we are in the midst of an intra-party conflict with high stakes. wapo.st/3ZGh5UV

A [FAKE] tweet from South Korea's soon-to-be-ex-President Yoon Su, reading "The haters said we couldn't do it. And they were correct. Honestly great call from the haters"

Response to coups by elected leaders:

- South Korea: blocked by mass mobilization of citizens

- Brazil: coup leader indicted, barred from politics

- United States: coup leader re-elected with majorities in the legislature and a compliant Supreme Court

They always get so offended when someone says this

Jeff Bezos Says He Is “Proud” of Decision to End Endorsements at Washington Post, “Very Optimistic” About Second Trump Term The Amazon founder said that he is working on a plan to turn around the Post: "We saved the Washington Post once, this will be the second time."

Jeff Bezos said he is "proud" of his decision to block the Washington Post's endorsement of Harris (which the publisher of the paper initially suggested he had nothing to do with) and "very optimistic" about the Trump presidency and Trump's plans "around reducing regulation"

pretty grim when health insurance company executives have to try to hide their identities online like they're public school history teachers, government employees or doctors who care for transgender people

wow, in japan they get all the stand names wrong! its supposed to be “shining diamond” 🤣🤣

Opinion | Harris’s advisers blame everything but themselves for their loss Their ‘Pod Save America’ interview, like the campaign they ran, was unconvincing and uninspiring.

I wrote about the interview Harris’s top campaign staffers did with Pod Save America and what their comments tell us about Democratic Party electoral strategy. wapo.st/3BcmJ7O

The scale of hypocrisy on display here is actually nuclear, absolutely nuclear

This piece made me wonder about the way some journalism is funded but not the OCCRP's

Cult in Festus? Some people ring alarms about new church Ex-members warn against St. Sophia’s Antecedent Orthodox Church leader Anthony Merseal and his practice, which is newly located in Festus.
