An appropriate day to read @msjpauly.bsky.social's piece on conversion therapy, which first came for gay people before it was trained on trans folk. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

First they tried to "cure" gayness. Now they're fixated on "healing" trans people.

Inside the movement to resurrect conversion therapy.

I wrote about the ascendance of Bari Weiss from a hack columnist to media royalty, and what it means for the future of CBS News.

ProPublica and @theassemblync.bsky.social found that in some North Carolina counties, homeowners with the highest incomes received two to three times as much FEMA housing assistance as those with lower incomes after Hurricane Helene.

Arduous and Unequal: The Fight to Get FEMA Housing Assistance After Helene

An analysis by ProPublica and The Assembly of the more rural counties in North Carolina hardest hit by Helene shows that the households that got the most aid tended to have the highest incomes.

I think Jamelle was a bit shocked when I started reading aloud his mean posts but he made his case for name-calling pretty well.

In this interview we also talk about Trump’s mental acuity, Hegseth’s authoritarian fantasies, learning from history, and regulating fear in politics and life.

After another 🙄 week @onthemedia.bsky.social does it again with another great ep this time with the wonderful @jamellebouie.net who had me laughing on my run. Thank god. Because otherwise I'd be crying on my run. Again. Jamelle's students are very blessed & I have that pigman song stuck in my head.

Loved this convo with @jamellebouie.net .

Yes, things are scary, but historical context gives (me) some comfort (things have been worse!), as well as courage to get out there and fight (October 18th is right around the corner and I need to make a new sign!)

I asked Jamelle about his posts calling

Antonin Scalia “a run of the mill gutter bigot”
JD Vance “a miserable little pig man, who no one respects, who almost certainly does not respect himself”
