My childhood memory: Sunday mornings, family, hung out and read the paper... LA Times, M Guardian, NYTimes, Esquire, New Yorker, etc. Illustrator. Owned by cats. Old, but still ready to stand up.

What kind of man works aggressively to flex his power and deny nearly 42 million Americans food benefits intended to stave off hunger just weeks before Thanksgiving?

If Republicans couldn't hold up legislation, obstruct justice to protect Trump, sabotage Obamacare, help Trump destroy democracy, and had to stop inflicting unnecessary cruelty on people struggling to survive, what would they do with all their free time?

Uhhh, guys, there are millions of Americans who havenβt been able to fly home for Thanksgiving in many years, if ever, because cost of living is out of line with earnings, aka theyβre the working poor. They canβt afford tripled insurance premiums. Hold fast Dems.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol
