β€œI know the threat Iran poses” = I also love pointless war, bullying other countries & slaughtering innocent people for fun & profit, but would furrow my brow deeper when I do it

Healey has not said one single word about war on Iran & slaughtering children being illegal & monstrous, but she’s here to perform security theater

We deserve a better governor & it’s so disappointing not a single progressive would primary Healey & take on our wealthy centrist Dem establishment

Feeble Criticism of War With Iran Echoes the Lead-Up to War With Iraq We need to take a firm stand against this reckless and pointless war, not fixate on whether or not it was done the "right way."

β€œWe have been here before. A look back at the lead-up to the 2003 Iraq War shows that many politicians and intellectuals fell into the same pitfalls: a focus on means rather than ends, a refusal to take firm positions against reckless, unnecessary wars, a fixation on image and rather than substance”

Functioning democracies place anti-corruption regulation and enforcement as a high priority.

Not enforcing against corruption allows malign opportunists to garner outsized wealth and influence that helps steer policy and choose leaders. Corruption exacerbates democratic decline.

I own multiple Danhausen products & thought TK’s idea of having him be adorable but terrible at wrestling & slowly improve was spot on

Mr. Hs giving him an entrance that’s 1) for huge established star 2) way campier than appropriate for this audience … it just sets him up to completely bomb

The differences in attribution between Benghazi - when the US was attacked but it was all Obama & Hillary’s fault - vs Trump’s air strikes killing 100+ kids & we apparently can’t figure out if it happened never mind whose fault it was

If you’re anti-war, or anti-fossil fuels, or anti-billionaire, you have no political party in America

Always makes me want to text ABOLISH to 8647 to donate $3 (7x match today only) when I see our deep blue state police forces coordinating with Trump’s thugs in skull masks on how best to thump the skulls of progressive protesters

Remember the promise of the Information Age was, sure we’ll steal & profit from all your data, but at least ads won’t be so bad because they’ll be microtargeted at your interests

But here we are 20 years later & even the corporations I shop at are like meh targeting’s expensive eat your slop piggie

Keep trying to explain to The Kids Today that when Reagan had polyps removed, there was live minute by minute coverage & explainers … but now Trump is clearly receiving constant medical treatment for ??? and today’s White House press corps is happy to help cover it up

Here’s how far our media has shifted right

In 2003, warmonger Dick Cheney said we’d be greeted as liberators in Iraq & we all remember it because it was so stupid at the time & obviously wrong in hindsight

In 2026, that’s the NYT’s unattributed, β€œobjective” statement of fact

Stop Digging Unproductive Land Use Spreads Us Thin

"The rules created to preserve the character of our town are forcing it to grow outward in a way that all but guarantees we’ll continue to face budget shortfalls & calls for higher taxes well into the future."

Another revealing result: AI in the workplace is treated as an unstoppable runaway freight train, but that’s marketing - 3+ years after ChatGPT came out, most workplaces & workers still aren’t using it or its competitors

Much like Bezos has done with the WaPo & the Ellisons have already done with CBS News, it’ll destroy their audiences but the billionaires won’t care - the oligarch propaganda is the point & they’re so rich they don’t care about turning a profit, killing beloved institutions, etc
