NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.
The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.
At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

"We took freedom of speech away" should be in every campaign ad moving forward.
Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Trump II never even tried to build the mass consent necessary for authoritarian consolidation, they just assumed it was there because they won the popular vote
again we’re seeing how the glide path toward authoritarian overreach here is disrupted by regular people than by big institutions or the powerful people who run them
this now brings us up to six (!) grand jury refusals to charge (that we know about), plus two cases filed as part of the dc surge dismissed on the us attorney's office's request

The other thing is that it is impossible to sanitize your own official language to satisfy right wingers, because their goal is to be upset by language. So they will just dig up an old Tumblr or fabricate something to get upset about
Again, the "democrats use too many woke words" thing is completely made up. It's gamergate bullshit that broke containment ten years ago

Settler colonialism and slavery are the twin sins on which this country is built
If your history museums don't make grappling with them a core part of their programming, it's not history. It's propaganda.

Everyone needs to see that these fuckos back down a LOT when they face resistance. Which is why it's SO maddening that so many institutions have capitulated.

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.

The Constitution dictates that the census is a count "all persons" conducted every "ten years." Donald Trump has no power to alter either the timing or who is counted.

Stop asking billionaires questions, recording their answers and sharing their uninformed and/or racist and/or otherwise bigoted and nonsense ideas as journalism. It’s ridiculous. They are the most boring people. Oh wah I am a white man who has more money than I can spend and I’m so mad about it!

“Murders spiked during the first Trump presidency, then started dropping dramatically during Biden’s presidency” is one of those straightforwardly true observations that illustrates how our perception of large scale social trends is so strongly mediated by narrative rather than fact.
"Murder rose at the fastest rate ever recorded in 2020 and largely stayed at that elevated level in 2021 and 2022. Since then, however, murder has been falling at the fastest rate ever recorded."
