Obviously!!

Clearly it would have been based on the unproduced Jodorowsky Alice in Wonderland project.

Some of those people are currently on the staff of elected Republicans, in fact. They’re part of the present of the GOP.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Dave. Dave. Dave.

You know the post-Goldwater GOP is just neo-Lost Cause-ism.

The elephant never forgets being made to look a fool.

I just keep thinking how it took Watchmen to get most people to know about the Tulsa Massacre.

1000%.

I think there is an incredible deficit in teaching the most basic elements of British empire and American empire, let alone colonialism from Columbus to Jamestown.

The whitewashing of the horrors is so pervasive there’s an ignorance of basal level caucasity that’s difficult to overcome.

oh one really fun idea i have is that the Supreme Court should resolve the issue before they go around making the whole country do what they say

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Sally Jenkins @sallyjenx.bsky.social · 2d

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Don’t Bet Against Bari Weiss

The new editor in chief of CBS News triumphs over her critics.

This is just so very, very illegal. And Republicans in Congress aren’t the least bit interested in controlling the purse. They’re just employees of trump org at taxpayer expense. This is a dictatorship.

Criminal kidnapping. straight up.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Collect a claim from one side, collect a claim from the other, present them both to the reader with an awkward shrug and a "who can say?"

And the photo choice -- Noem's looking down ... on what? The reverse angle showed a small crowd and a quiet street. But can't show that, it's biased to one side!

David Corn @davidcorn.bsky.social · 4d

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

“As someone who played a part in the compact’s initial formulation,” the financier Marc Rowan writes of the Trump administration’s plan for universities, “I would like to offer what insight I can into the motivation and need for the compact.”

Opinion | Trump’s ‘Compact’ With Universities Is Badly Needed

The government should not use public funds to support a system that fails to serve the public good.
