Platner wrote a ton about his political beliefs on Reddit. He didn’t think it’d be read. He was a woke BLM guy who talked about the struggles of LGBT marines & got into arguments with Holocaust revisionists. There is no Nazi on earth who would talk like this. It’s dispositive.
This settlement legalizes meat price-fixing — it just says you have to bring the giant retailers and distributors in on the game. Get ready for even higher prices for chicken, turkey, and pork.
Private equity took the Red Sox from one of the greatest teams in history (just eight years ago) to the basement.
From nursing homes to thriving businesses to baseball teams, there is nothing private equity won't run into the ground if given the chance.
Reminder that the Epstein Files are supposed to be released on Friday and every political development that you see between now until then should be viewed with that in mind.
I understand why this happened -- MSU chose not to fight, perhaps to bolster the "show cause" firing of Mel Tucker -- however the fact that:
1. By giving $10,000 to six players, MSU got stiffer penalties, including vacated wins, than Michigan in all of its various infractions cases and ...
2. Included among the vacated wins was the Central Michigan game where Connor Stalions was on the Chips sideline ...
... is so ridiculous it's kind of perfectly comical.

A truly cruel thing to do, moving money from the poorest people in America to the private equity owners of prison telephone services. https://t.co/LRmmZKeHl9
Data brokers collect your phone data, emails, social media then sell it to companies who use algorithms to charge you more when you need something most. The public deserves to own and control their personal data, not have it weaponized against them by billionaire monopolists.
One underlying goal of my work over the last 25 years has been to try to shake middle-aged liberal normies into realizing what's actually happening, in hopes that they'd become open to more transformative politics. My working theory was that they've been anesthetized by elite media, and that if they were exposed to a more authentic picture of reality, they'd wake up.
My theory was either wrong from the start or it's become outdated - at this point, many of their minds have been euthanized, not anesthetized.
So I'm now counting on younger generations who've always been more resistant to that elite media propaganda machine. They are going to have to save us.
Jack White responded to Governor Newsom’s Instagram post that used "Seven Nation Army" to highlight Newsom’s fight against Trump’s midterm-rigging efforts:
"Fans of this song and also democracy, notice that I'm ok with this track being used in this manner. Not so much when trump and his gestapo try to use one of my songs. Keep hitting him back Gavin!"
When I close my eyes, and dream of a small town main street in Nebraska, I don’t see Dollar Generals. I see family-owned grocery stores.
Our small businesses deserve a level playing field. We NEED to enforce the Robinson-Patman Act.
Three Republican-appointed judges just made it harder to cancel subscriptions you don’t want.
It's absurd that you can't just click to cancel.
@linamkhan fought for that change.
But now companies can trap you in subscriptions and squeeze you for every penny.
