MSNow: Your reporting on the situation in Washington DC is generally fine, except Michael Schmidt’s claim that this area has seen lots of violence in the past 5 years…that is not true. You’re perpetuating misinformation. Black Lives Matter was very peaceful; the violence was from the WH

Do better! This area - Farragut Square - has not seen lots of violence - Black Lives Matter was peaceful. Please don't perpetuate this misinformation. It just reinforces the Trumpian view. This is a very unusual situation

The Lost City of the Monkey God, Douglas Preston…search for archaeological sites in Honduras, inspired by rumors of La Ciudad Blanca, also known as the White City. Reads like fiction.

Kamala Harris lost because of racism and misogyny - from the news media and the voting public. Not because they didn’t pay attention to the “working class”. If anyone was listening, she and Walz talked a lot about the working class. His column is pure bullshit.

Trump fires Nat Park Service staff who maintain parks in DC. Then brings in National Guard to "clean up" DC, most of which is US Park Service property. Wasting money, putting people out of work, creating chaos

And it doesn’t discuss the economic impacts of “deregulation” - environmental impacts affecting the health of the country; market impacts; deregulating consumer protections, etc. OR of firing thousands of federal workers and not paying contractors across the country for work already done.

People whose entire worldview revolves around graft & favoritism simply cannot cognize the fact that there are people who approach government work in good faith & try to do a good job & help people.

Shitty people think everyone is shitty like them. That's crucial to understanding MAGA.

Until just a few years ago, many developing countries still used leaded gasoline. The global effort to remove lead from gasoline involved overcoming opposition, including bribery by leaded gasoline companies to maintain sales, and the final holdout, Algeria, banned leaded gasoline in 2021 - UNEP
