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?

Judge says Education Dept. partisan out-of-office emails violated First Amendment A federal judge says the Trump administration "overplayed its hand" by inserting partisan language into workers' out-of-office autoreplies.

β€œThis ridiculous ploy by the Trump administration was a clear violation of the First Amendment rights of the workers at the Education Department,” judge ruled after DOE replaced out of office emails with post blaming the Dems for the shutdown.

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 haven’t been able to fly home for Thanksgiving in many years, if ever, because cost of living is out of line with earnings, aka they’re the working poor. They can’t afford tripled insurance premiums. Hold fast Dems.

In my area we ran the idiot running for school board out of town. It was a resounding, loud, ass-kicking. Barely got 2,000 votes.

Turns out we like access to books, and truthful history in my district.

I don't feel safe in Germany because of death threats, so I'm moving to the United States to be with the people who stoke death threats among their armed followers.

My neighbors who told me β€œBut THAT (fill in atrocity blank) wouldn’t happen because (fill in rationalization)” have all asked me individually. β€œYou saw all this coming. How did you know?”

β€œ"It's almost as if X seeks to divide us, divide us as a country, divide us into the extremes and that is deeply unhealthy and wrong, frankly," Ed Davey said.”

Not just β€˜almost’, but I obviously understand his way of having to make the point.

Left over a year ago, it was utterly vile even then.

And so you, your friends and the fan art artists all help Musk with his far right ideology, whether you have an interest in politics or not. Sorry, I can't put it any other way.

Just being on it, regardless of how much you use it, rewards Musk and the far right.

I’ve deleted it once again for that very reason. I followed no one of that ilk but all I had was a stream full of anti-muslim hate coupled with incel posts. Absolutely pointless site to use now even for news etc. There’s no way any legitimate organisation should use it.

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.

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People β€œWhat Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

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
