Reminder: The case against Comey is sloppy, vague, and could fall apart with just one word.

How one word could make the difference in the troubling case against James Comey

The former FBI director didn't say what the indictment claims he did.

Trump is asking for names and bro is like yeah but he was one of ours so I can’t exactly remember

James Klüg- one of the participants- just insinuated that he was assaulted by “antifa” when in actuality he was hit by a right wing extremist named Aaron Simmons- who was prosecuted for his actions in Los Angeles. He knows it and acquiesced to it on Twitter at the time. Unreal.

It appears the man who assaulted me earlier was friends with the right wing organizer of the Wi Spa demonstration.

The artificial intelligence and robotics being developed by multi-billionaires will allow corporate America to wipe out tens of millions of decent-paying jobs, cut labor costs and boost profits.

What happens to working class people who can’t find jobs because they don’t exist?

One of the (many) legal gaps that needs to be filled after this nightmare is over is to prohibit federal law enforcement agencies from using federal funds to create propaganda videos with anyone in custody. This is all about spectacle and content creation, remove the incentive and the means

"Mother Jones has substantially more paid subscribers than Bari Weiss’ The Free Press, so perhaps someone should put us in charge of a TV network."

The latest from @monikab.bsky.social:

Nice little TV network you got there

How easily has Trump rolled corporate media? So much more easily than he probably expected.
