little known fact: In 2020, Republicans lost the White House and the Senate.

The Washington post
Democracy Dies in Darkness The murder of George Floyd under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer, in 2020, brought about another turn in the racial justice movement, with liberal activists chanting "Defund the police!" The idea was that the money should be reallocated to other uses, such as social
services. Though most Democrats, including Joe Biden, rejected the slogan, Republicans used it as an effective weapon in that year's election,
claiming it was an invitation to lawlessness.

also, what do you think people conclude when they hear you say Donald Trump is a "wannabe king" who is "attacking the American people" (both true things Jeffries has said) and also that you want to find common ground with him? Probably that your criticisms are insincere or that you're weak or both

This is an extraordinary article in many ways. But: 1) “it left unarmed North Koreans dead” is a polite way of phrasing “SEALS killed them.” 2) It isn’t until paragraph 59 that the NYT tells us the people the seals killed were civilians. They were fishing, and America killed them.

NYT: “How a Dop Secret SEAL Team 6 Mission Into North Korea Fell Apart / The 2019 operation, greenlit by President Trump, sought a strategic edge. It left unarmed North Koreans dead.”

This is asinine and betrays Khanna's complete lack of understanding of the conservative movement's intentional strategy of lying about elections in order to destroy democracy. There are ways to improve CA vote counting but the current system does not "spawn conspiracy theories." Liars lie.

the stuff that divides us is pretty big things like whether we recognize that our fellow Americans are fully human and the entire list of things I have in common with Donald Trump is our shared hatred for his children so this pablum is not really doing it for me

this hunter walker meltdown is particularly hilarious in light of his attempt to make himself The Decider about who is really who they say they are on this site

This “feature” where Apple will vandalize your photos by applying event tags that are often wrong and that you can neither edit nor turn off is a pretty perfect illustration of how thoroughly tech companies just do not give a shit about their customers.

Apple thinks this photo I took of Bruce Springsteen was at the “Tom Morello concert.” Morello is fucking awesome but no.

there is so much here that would be absolutely hilarious were it no for the civilization-ruining potential "why would I pull over to text?" "fair point"

I moderated that "Why Media Matters" panel. At dinner I asked Eric Boehlert, who had just written Lapdogs, what he was up to next. He wasn't sure, so (assuming it an extreme long shot) I asked if he'd be interested in joining us at MMFA. Turns out he was. So that's how that happened.
