A product of my environment and education. News, technology, music, film, the big picture, and absurd observations. Will be the focus here from time to time.

Stauber voted against this project he’s now taking credit for, as Republicans do constantly.

When ICE acts like modern-day Brownshirts, clashing with faith leaders, you know the narrative is lost. Clergy marching against Vietnam proved it decades ago.

President Donald Trump on Friday directed Attorney General Pam Bondi and the FBI to investigate alleged links between Jeffrey Epstein and notable Democrats. He’s clearly trying to protect himself, and this situation is likely to become very intense.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Right, but it’s something we already had. It’s kind of a win.

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers β€œjust following orders” should not be exempted.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

quotes by Musk and Hannah Arendt

quotes by Musk and Hannah Arendt

β€œIn my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

- Captain G.M. Gilbert, US Army

Apparently, our system of checks and balances relies more on ethics and norms than on enforceable law.

dickerson is one of the best broadcast journalists in the game, and someone who would clearly be a real asset to a new leader interested in strengthening the network's journalism. but, of course, we know weiss isn't actually interested in journalism as such.

Some are mad because people are on SNAP and not working.

I’m mad because people are on SNAP even though they are working.
