(2)Before joining Meta, Powell McCormick served as a deputy national security advisor to Trump. The president applauded her appointment on Truth Social: "A great choice by Mark Z!”I can see where it’s easy to be reactionary and announce, “I’m outta here.”

Today’s news that Meta/Facebook is under new leadership, and that of a MAGA acolyte is frustrating and annoying.

I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.

This is just magnificent. Absolutely perfect.

Overcrowded classrooms.
Peeling walls.
One overworked teacher for 30+ students.

This isn’t “preparing kids for the future.”

The only regime change the world needs right now is in the USA.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers.

Easy money, no risk.

Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime.
