Are you seriously complaining that news outlets are reporting breaking news when it actually happens?
Like, just because powerful people or institutions dump unflattering news at 5 pm on Friday, should that preclude the press from making a judgment that it's important & they should take steps to ensure it doesn't slip past their readers/viewers?

I don't think most Americans have any idea how dangerous it is for a president to declare an entire ethnic group to be "garbage." This is how the worst atrocities in human history have begun.

A government that can officially declare that Jesus is your savior can just as easily declare the opposite.
Here’s the U.S. government being officially religious in a country with no official religion.

Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.

Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

There will come a time when people of good faith are empowered to uphold the law.

When that time comes, Illinois will have the testimony and records needed to pursue justice to its fullest extent.

The truth of what Trump and his masked agents are doing in Chicago will be told.
"They had done nothing wrong. They were not protesting. They were not chasing ICE vehicles. They were simply shopping."

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

Ninth Circuit just ended appeals from denial of anti-SLAPP motions in federal court, overturning 20+ years of precedent. From a practical standpoint, massively consequential case. From a principled standpoint, major blow to free expression. Bad.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

As much as possible, we should do things fascists cannot do.

As much as possible, we should not do things fascists want us to do and we should do things fascists don't want us to do.

Never accept the fascist offer.

Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.

Good. The COVID vaccine is safe and effective, yet RFK Jr. and Trump are pushing anti-science conspiracy theories.

Glad to see my state stepping up and keeping our residents healthy. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
No prescription needed in WA for updated COVID vaccine
The state standing order is not a requirement nor a directive, and instead aims to improve access to the vaccine for anyone who wants one.
