I've been waiting for a good voice to pick up the Argentina/Soybean scandal.

Dan Osborn now has.

I wrote about covering the aftermath of the immigration raids in Venture County this week. Most of what’s on my mind in this piece is dark and angry—none of this should be normal. A man shouldn’t have died running for his life

Thru all this, the community care in the county was a sight to behold.

The Twitter platform is built to keep people on it. It does not drive traffic virtually at all, even in its hayday, and it's even worse now.

There's no reason to stay on it.

The world is drowning in plastic. Experts say we need to stop making so much.

But the plastics industry is peddling a "solution" that works like magic.

Don't be fooled.

1. On Tuesday, Congresswoman Sarah McBride gave a interview with Ezra Klein at the New York Times.

It has been used to seed the ground for a rightward shift in the Democratic Party on trans rights.

Some allies have failed to grasp the problems with her approach.

Here's what McBride gets wrong.

The Bethesda Declaration people spoke out, despite the prohibition.

Stop asking marginalized populations to politely ask for basic human rights! Supreme Court just upheld the care ban for transgender youth today? A polite email ain't gonna cut it, Sarah.

hahaha

Many of the LA Sheriffs didn't have their gas masks on yet so the Sheriffs got gassed by LAPD

LAPD was on the radio crying about getting shot by rubber bullets by the sheriffs, so I'd say fair trade

Typical level of professional policing for Los Angeles. Waiting for CHP to join the fun.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Magic The Gathering event vs. Trump's Birthday Party

Ocean Beach San Francisco today. #NoKings We were there

When you spent $25 million on your birthday party but the tanks were old and the clown wasn’t funny and the taco bowls didn’t have enough cheese and all the cool kids went to a different party.

being able to hear the wheels on the Sherman tanks squeal on account of no one there is some incredible footage. A+ comedy.

Preach, Professor Snyder

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

I got to be an external reviewer for NEH summer stipends. 2 things I noticed:

1) There is an overwhelming surplus of groundbreaking research being conducted in the humanities by scholars at all employment levels. It was a nearly impossible task to say which projects were more "deserving" of support

Reverse Cassandraing, whispering, “Everybody predicted all of this.”

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

wild how he immediately raises his weapon as soon as she turns and he sees the microphone

they're shooting to maim the press on purpose y'all

Whimsy and play in the face of oppression! 💕
