Stop heinously terrorizing communities and there's no need to wear masks.

Of course, whenever we're chastised about not upsetting the "working class," there's always a silent modifier they're leaving out.

Hillary was right.

Should, but don't.

The poorly educated and lazy are the most strident about having their opinions treated equally with scientifically researched facts.

There are two versions of reality: one based on facts and the interpretation of experts who have made careers out of understanding complex issues, and the other based on the opinions of people who are uncomfortable with -- and therefore resent -- the former.

CBS News will dutifully present both.

NYT Editorial: Does this simply make Trump even more relatable to the critical young male voting demographic?

Walking it back would be too embarrassing so they have to double down.

They don't care if they're right, they just want to look "tough."

The sad thing is, the shamelessness of their lies and their indifference to truth actually *does* look strong to the average ignorant voter.

I can't imagine how small it must be for him to need to compensate like this.

These fucking morons really think that "asylum" means "insane asylum."

In the last 10 years we've crossed the Rubicon where it's more common to say "I don't care if he's wrong, I like that he has the balls to say it" than "let's see what the facts show."

Society isn't coming back from this.

These fucking morons really think that "asylum" means "insane asylum."

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Well I'm glad they've told us how to spam and tie up the phone lines for their snitching/harassment service.

This is the problem with the asymmetry of Democrats appointing impartial "rule of law" judges and Republicans appointing overt partisan hacks.

People don't care about rules, norms, and process, hey want to see us using whatever power we have to uphold our values.

Trump is, first and foremost, a huge pussy.

Silencing reporters isn’t strength.

It’s fear.

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

Activists gonna activist. Smfh

The imperfection is the goal.

More embarrassing that we thought Americans gave a shit about democracy.

Brother calls Ilhan Omar suspect ‘right-wing extremist,’ has hated Somalis for years Exclusive: ‘In my mind, he’s a piece of s**t,’ Anthony Kazmierczak’s brother told The Independent

I think both calling for abolishing ICE is fine and casting what ICE is doing as inherent to immigration enforcement is an extremely bad idea because if you frame the choice as "open borders or this" lots of people will choose this. It also just isn't true, Canada has borders and IRCC don't do this

Trump is a bug light for the absolute stupidest people in society.

The news used to be to inform people, to bring educated perspectives that may not align with popular trends.

Bari Weiss instead sees news as a vehicle for reinforcing the absolute dumbest impulses in popular belief under the guise of balance.

Trump is a bug light for the absolute stupidest people in society.

Why the fuck does he need to trash Biden here?
