Thank you so much Van Jones. Such a wonderful real life cautionary tale of how catching even the slightest wind of power can sail you off into the land of banality of evil. To all young activists, just follow this one rule:

"Don't be like Van Jones" and you should be alright.

#DontBeLikeVanJones

You know it's bad when the return of KFC's potato wedges (best fast food potato product ever, fight me) doesn't even spark any joy.

Deeply disturbing to see @propublica.org publish a piece glorifying Israeli intelligence in the midst of an ongoing genocide. This is not journalism—it’s propaganda. It’s racist, harmful, and completely unacceptable. Retract the article and issue an apology.

That people are protesting the #Mavericks for trading #Luka Dončić rather than their vile, racist, genocidal, owner Miriam Adelson reveals quite clearly the covert ways the rich and powerful use shiny objects to distract us. #NBA

Random escapism opinion of the day that no one cares about: Gen V is astoundingly better than The Boys.

Biden continuing his policy of punishing activists for opposing genocide. If he doesn’t unlock that money to the Climate Justice Alliance, Trump will simply never grant it and CJA loses a lot of money. Amazing how much Biden has in common with Trump on this.
