We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

I'm sick of the media focusing only on the "who's to blame for the shutdown" tomfuckery. Your job is to accurately report the actual facts-- more importantly how the GOP is still LYING about the facts. Do that and people can decide for themselves who is responsible for this bullshit state of affairs

Third case of measles in South Carolina this year confirmed, officials say There was one confirmed case of measles in South Carolina in 2024, according to the CDC.

No Excuse!!! Get vaccinated! If not for you, do it for others. Measles and mumps can be deadly. Talk to your grandparents. They had both when they were children.

RFK JR: We're not going to recommend a product for which there's no clinical data for that indicationβ€”is that what I should be doing?

Warren: What you should be doing is honoring your promise that you made when you were looking to get confirmed in this job.

Regardless of any presidential "schedule", it is inappropriate for a "nation's leader" to be invisible after a horrific event like the school shooting today. Neither he nor Vance need lunch today.

FIFA should pull all of the 2026 World Cup matches scheduled to be played on US soil & reassign them to venues in Canada.

That includes the World Cup final scheduled to be played at the Meadowlands.

This is not a country suited to host an international event now & won’t be until 2029.

The Passionate, Progressive Politics of Julia Child The public Julia Childβ€”Julia Child the culinary titanβ€”looms so large that she often eclipses the person who existed outside the kitchen. A new collection of interviews captures another side of her.

Julia Child, who was born on this day, in 1912, was known as a titan of the culinary arts. But she was also highly politically engaged, speaking openly about her support for Planned Parenthood and her disgust with the Republican Party.

The Invention of β€œSesame Street” Renata Adler’s 1972 review of the program that revolutionized children’s television.

β€œSmall children from poor or middle-class families who watch β€˜Sesame Street’ do better on cognitive tests and in first grade than children who do not watch it,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

New rule: no criticizing the way others choose to resist unless you have a better, actionable idea and kind, constructive feedback. New ideas are good! Performative contrarianism is useless.

As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas

The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

To the β€œI voted for this” crowd:

You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters.

That’s what you voted for?
