100%. The Times’ political reporting is generally terrible.

Gen Z is voting for Democrats. See Nov. 4 results.

AI is sucking up more and more energy every day. Not sustainable.

And not just Oakland. It would work anywhere there's a Home Depot store.

Great example of a creative resistance technique.

Even though that's exactly what they're doing.

They're right. The Supreme Court is out of control. Congress is acquiescent. Billionaires rule. It's impossible to amend the Constitution. Neither party (to different degrees) is working to fix the problems that vex most Americans. Major reforms are needed, quickly, in a system set up to be slow.

Trump support is cratering.

BREAKING: Judge Cobb rules that the Pentagon's National Guard deployment into D.C. was illegal.

However, she has stayed the effect of her order until Dec. 11 to prevent disorder while the matter is under appeal.

Trump is a traitor to the Constitution, the rule of law, and simple decency.

Apparently no one in the Trump regime has heard of the Nuremberg trials. Or perhaps they just supported the Nazi side. Following illegal orders is the path to untold horrors.

I remember vividly when I visited my then girlfriend (now wife) in Pasadena @ 1981 that the San Gabriel mountains weren't visible from just a few miles away.

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.

Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

Please read this wonderful essay by my friend Tom Debley about the moral crisis facing our nation, and the recent message from Catholic bishops about the need to protect and value those who have immigrated here.

The blame goes entirely to Trump and the Republicans, who are harming millions of innocent people, many of them their own voters and supporters.

So strange that academic freedom is only important to Republicans, or supposedly so, when it involves lefty professors in the Ivy League. But it's fine to be a right-wing blowhard at Texas A&M. Or a racist cop, apparently.

Senator Wyden, please support replacing Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader ASAP. We can't go into a crucial election year with Schumer as the voice/face of Senate Democrats.

Almost any leadership would be an improvement.

The USG and everyone involved should be horribly embarrassed for participating in this absurd prosecution. But in the end: Justice was … served.

Justice! Tossing a sandwich is not a felony.

Spotify is running ads to recruit ICE agents.

This must be so inspiring to the 42 million Americans losing their SNAP benefits.

Seems like an inefficient system.

It's very simple, really. What Trump and the GOP are doing, using starvation as a weapon against 42 million Americans and the Democratic Party, is the equivalent of a war crime.

Opinion | In Trump’s America, Are We Losing Our Democracy? (Gift Article) Donald Trump has wielded power as no previous president has.

Even the ultra-establishment NYT thinks we're increasingly close to losing our democracy.

Climate change is an economic issue. It's changing where we can grow crops and which ones, causing floods of refugees to flee hot dry areas to come to more moderate regions, creating devastating floods and hurricanes, and making other massive changes to our planet, where we live and create things.

Good corporate citizens shouldn't be running recruitment ads for ICE, aka Trump's secret police. This seems like a pretty low bar to me, but Spotify can't be bothered to care, apparently.

Inept (and intentionally cruel) authoritarianism is not making us great.
