Free speech is more than me being allowed to say what I want. Everyone also has to like it and tell me I'm a smart and handsome boy

Increasingly we need candidates who'd be comfortable cutting a wrestling promo
Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:

Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.
It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”

Evidence is growing that some HIV-infected infants, if given antiretroviral drugs early in life, are able to suppress their viral loads to undetectable levels and then come off the medicine. www.wired.com/story/the-fi...

I don’t think there’s ever been a more irresponsible act in US history than putting RFK in charge of public health. You’d rather have Manson.

The real enemy of this administration is cosmopolitanism. Whether in Los Angeles or South Africa, multiracial pluralistic democracy is a threat to them because it means their “us or them” model of the world is wrong. So they stir up trouble on purpose and gleefully lie.
Kristi Noem calls Los Angeles a “city of criminals”

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns

los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

incredible thread of all the criminal scum Trump has released onto our streets who continue to commit crimes
Trump pardoned the violent J6 insurrectionist freaks and they walk among us, thirsting for revenge. One of them, Zach Alam, did a home invasion the other day.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

well it has certainly been an amusing prank to let the worst people alive take over the american government for a few weeks, but I think it's probably gone on long enough

“Today, DEI has become the new N-word; the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism.”

My latest for the Guardian, in which I cite Lee Atwater, and bring lots of receipts.

Sorry, but it has to be said:

Sorry let me get Geno’s Super Bowl pick first and then let’s talk the end of democracy
If your senator is calling it a constitutional crisis, and if anything he's understating the situation, maybe that qualifies as the top story?

Maybe?
