I wish we were living in a different timeline, but in this one we have to have the courage to speak up and, as they say, "meet the moment." And I predict you will. www.niemanlab.org/2024/12/well...

We’ll draw the lines we will not cross

"This year, I predict that you — yes, <em>you</em> — will stand up, speak up, and do the right thing for the communities we aim to serve."

He dresses down the national conservative political party in Spain for climate denial and aligning with Trump.

Their “patriotic” stance is anti-Spain and its future, he says.

This response is 🔥🔥🔥.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Yeah!!

And while we’re at it, there is a little band that also deserves some respect. You probably never even heard of them.

Like the bug but spelled differently.

Put some respect on their name too!

NEW: Federal judge dismisses Drake's defamation case against Kendrick Lamar storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The issue in this case is whether "Not Like Us" can reasonably be understood to convey as a factual matter that Drake is a pedophile or that he has engaged in sexual relations with minors. In light of the overall context in which the statements in the Recording were made, the Court holds that it cannot.

I recently heard someone say if they were “god” they would make being stupid hurt.

Meaning, you can choose to be ignorant while there are undeniable facts, but that choice has to hurt you.

Stupidity already hurts us.

But if you CHOOSE to be stupid, you should feel some pain. I agree.
