i dunno it's kind of weird and sad that i'm taking solace from being pandered to by a dictionary but i guess that's where we are and i must admit it is nice to be pandered to sometimes

House Democrats could force a vote on impeaching RFK any time they want. Of course it would fail. But do you want to make an issue of it or not?

Mark Harris @markharris.bsky.social · Aug 28

This is such a no-brainer that the lack of a coordinated response feels deeply damning. A Democratic leadership team that can't mobilize an instant all-hands-on-deck effort on RFK Jr. isn't a leadership team at all.

Schooley @schooley.bsky.social · Aug 28

I know Democrats are overwhelmed (or rudderless, if you are less charitable) by the sheer volume of Trump authoritarian moves, but I’d like to see them unified behind specific goals like “RFK Jr is a threat to public health and needs to go.”

NEWS: CVS, the largest pharmacy chain in the country, is currently not offering Covid vaccines in 16 states and DC — even to people who meet the new FDA criteria — because the CDC hasn't signed off and isn't expected to do so (if it does so) for at least three weeks.

Texas State System dissolves faculty senates, eroding professors' influence on campuses

While other universities move to preserve the advisory bodies, Texas State will abolish them under a new state law that curtails faculty’s influence on campuses.

This quiz going around is a great example of how the NYT launders right wing talking points through the zero-sum lens.

I care that millions of *other* people will get tossed into poverty—or concentration camps. The fact that *I* might get a SALT break is not an equivalent effect on the country!

One of the most helpful things when reading a news story is to notice which perspectives are treated as objective and which ones are not.

Young New Yorkers of every class, race and gender. This is truly your time. Come out tomorrow like you never have before and you'll have a much better shot of a future in this city if it's not run by Cuomo. You are needed to counter what Gen X and older are going to do.
