This is why Weiss’s “it didn’t move the ball forward” excuse is bullshit. Yes, much of this was reported in the NYT and by Frontline.
But 60 Minutes averages 8 million viewers. It would have reached a massive audience that Frontline and the NYT didn’t.

Just watched the 60 Minutes segment. Basically it debunks the fundamental claim used by Trump admin that the detainees it sent there are “terrorists” and corroborates torture using clips from El Salvadorean influencers Bukele uses internally. Would be a shock to low information voters, probably

I am so sick of the way people in power across the ideological spectrum use Jewish people as pawns and completely ignore the fact that we exist in real life. “I stood up to some neo-Nazis” is a good start, but giving a shit means not following that with “here’s your swastika for Hanukkah.”

In case you need to hear it from someone who was raised Hindu: Usha is not a hostage, she is an accomplice. She is culpable. Fuck her and the fascists she colludes with. May she go down with all of them. As Zohran ably demonstrates, our communities do not aspire to whiteness & don’t seek to appease.
Vance's latest rant has set off another misguided round of "free Usha" rhetoric. This isn't just inaccurate--she's wholly a part of this fascist project--it's dangerous. We can no longer afford to imagine fascism as smaller than it is. Hindu fascism is vast, too. No religion is immune.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

JK Rowling is destroying children's lives. Stop buying her shit, watching her shows, playing her games. You're funding her hate campaign. Move on.
Article in the Times today.
JKR has set her pre action attack team on a school supporting trans youth.
A father is threatening to sue for allowing trans children to use the loo they‘ve always used.
“I don’t wish trans people any ill”, he says, after casting them as voyeurs and sexual predators.

Yes, you should mask everywhere, but if you won't, at least pay attention to when the risk if higher and act accordingly.

The point of accumulating political power ought to be to do what’s right. Otherwise you’re just hoarding power for its own sake.
Stopping the government from sending innocent people to a foreign prison where they were beaten, sexually assaulted, and tortured was the right thing to do.
