1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

⚠️ PSA to anyone posting to YouTube ⚠️ Definitely go in and turn this off!! I don’t think it even needs explaining at this point!! Please let everyone know

There's a bizarre and ongoing mainstream effort to launder RFK Jr into someone who just wants to get Americans eating nutritious food and exercising again but that is not evidenced anywhere in his public statements or career in public life. He is a liar and conspiracist.

Blue Cross Blue Shield in Connecticut, New York and Missouri has declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia for the full length of some surgeries. It the procedure goes over a certain time, anesthesia will not be covered for the duration. www.asahq.org/about-asa/ne...

This is the rallying call that I've needed to hear since November 6th. From Roxane Gay in today's New York Times www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

150 billionaire families spent $1.9B on the 2024 election through October. It's a huge amount of money — but it represents just 0.07% of their overall wealth. It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in cash. We must get big money out of our politics.

Once more, just in case "There is no angle to climate policy that a second Trump term would not make worse. It won’t happen by neglect or as an ancillary effect of some other policy or plan, but by specific design — drill more, pollute more, emit more, warm more."

In Texas, maternal mortality last year was up *56%*... and among *white women,* it doubled. It was already so high among Black women, they still have higher rate than white women. But, yes, women who thought they were "safe" are not safe. www.nbcnews.com/health/women...

I love it!

Guess I'll just post this week's comic now since it's already being shared. Looking back at the past several years, the cascade of institutional failures leading up to this moment is nothing short of breathtaking.

Sat down tonight and wrote the case for your Harris vote - I need Harris to win because I can't go through the next four years wondering fi today's the day they come and try to deport my wife, even though she's a citizen.

This is, unfortunately, real — Danielle Allen of Harvard, who has thought a lot about ethics and democracy

Trump is a liar, a fascist, a rapist, and a fraud. I'm voting for Kamala Harris with all my heart—not because I think she'll bring about a perfect future, but because the alternative is no future at all.

if this election has proven anything at all it is the danger of allowing anyone to have a billion dollars

This is the entirety of the Willamette Week’s presidential endorsement, and to be honest it does the job just fine.

Several WaPo columnists have published a letter responding to the paper’s decision not to endorse a presidential candidate. wapo.st/3YBAy8E

He's a weak, miserable gutter racist and no person of color in this country is safe from him. Please never vote for him or anyone who has ever supported him.

“If Donald Trump is so dangerous, then how come the consequences of his presidency weren’t worse?”

Reckoning will never knowingly publish work made using generative AI because generative AI is inherently environmentally unjust. - It's made of stolen art - It's made by wasting a gobsmackingly stupid amount of energy - It takes agency away from the individual and gives it to corporations

I will remember this exchange for as long as I live.
