Don't get it twisted. Those close-up Vanity Fair photos aren't mean. They're art. Hate corrodes the container it's carried in. Exposing evil and invoking a response is art.

Just a reminder that renewables like wind and solar are not dominating new energy investment due to subsidies or regulations. They are dominating because they are cheaper and more reliable.
Trump wants Americans to pay more, and fall behind in technology, in order to feed his ego. Nothing more.

Susie Wiles' open admission that Trump's prosecutions are about retribution will give his targets more ammo to argue in court that the prosecutions are vindictive, says @swin24.bsky.social. On the pod, he's fun and illuminating on this, on Leavitt's spin, and more:

You know the Vanity Fair article with Susie Wiles that everyone’s talking about?
Yeah. This is basically the audio version Narrated by Nicolle Wallace, and it’s not “taken out of context”. ☠️😭

I've been reporting on the criminal justice system for over a decade and have lived in an authoritarian country overseas, but I've never seen anything like the police presence in ICE-occupied Memphis. Here's my dispatch: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

This is one of those “support the troops” moments. It’s not about bumper stickers and flyovers at NFL games. It’s about not sending young men and women into an illegitimate war. Speak up, rise up if you can.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

Gallego: "This administration, since they started striking these boats illegally, has been very happy to show their snuff films . Now suddenly they're willing to show the first hit but not the second. Why? ... they're afraid the public is going to see the military killed 2 men that had surrendered."
