Grammarly declined my request to interview CEO Shishir Mehrotra today. But it told me that in response to criticisms, it will allow experts to opt out of the feature by emailing expertoptout@superhuman.com.

I've decided that instead of wasting my own time to see if Grammarly has stolen my name and writing for use their business, I'd just email them to opt out and make them waste some time cleaning up their own goddamn mess.

Just out @propublica.org: How did the Pentagon make the horrible mistake that left more than 150 school children dead? Perhaps because it cancelled an effort to limit such harm in favor of Hegseth’s lust for “lethality.”

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

As we know thru histories of genocide, slavery and ethnic cleansing in this country and around the world... it takes an industry build up over time to carry out these atrocities.

It never happens overnight nor with "a few bad apples". It happens with purpose and intentional moral decay.

I’m sure Iranians will be very open to a leader chosen by the people responsible for this.

The Killing Fields of El Mencho

The boss of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel is dead. But the pain of the families of the disappeared goes on.

Under Mencho's reign, Jalisco was the worst state for disappearances and filled with mass graves.

TO MY DAUGHTERS AND OTHER YOUNG WOMEN ABOUT TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET: This is the kind of man you should stay far away from.

ON POINT ABOUT CHALAMET HATING ON OPERA.

"Finally, someone who can mock an opera singer when he has clearly never spent a moment studying music is so arrogant and dumb that you don’t want to be in a room with him."

Donald Trump lowered our Flags to half-staff for Charlie Kirk but not for the 6 troops we lost in Kuwait.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

Justice for Ruben Ray Martinez. There needs to be a vast reckoning in this country, and it must include this young man’s murder by ICE.

We need to talk about Ruben Ray Martinez as much as we have and do talk about Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

If your response to our country participating in the bombing of school children starts with "Yeah, but..." your political ideologies are the least of my worries.

And here, if you're still following, the link.

I sprung for this insanely wasteful case bc it really needed to be public. Normally I'd ask for contributions. Instead, consider making a contribution to a bail fund or a mutual aid fund.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.
