I can’t be the only one wondering when a Christopher Dorner biopic is gonna be made. Starring LL Cool J.

Araghchi said Iran is not like Venezuela, where the US could kidnap one leader & everyone else backs down, so the neocolonial Venezuelan authorities summoned the Iranian Ambassador for "derogatory & inappropriate statements about Venezuela's institutions & authorities." Pathetic

Trump takes issue with the Lindsey Graham eulogy he's reading: "Virtually everyone liked Lindsey. Well, not everybody. But it sounds good. I have to be honest. I have to veer from this for a second."

This ain’t it. Just because IWW socialists of the early 20th century spoke fondly of the founding fathers doesn’t mean DSA has to make the same mistake.

[DSA @DemSocialists]

New in DemLeft: Far from rejecting the American Dream, today’s democratic socialists are reclaiming its deepest promise: that freedom requires economic security, and democracy must extend into the workplace.

counterpoint: no politician in any level of govt is better equipped or positioned than zohran to recast the obama years accurately and critically and to say otherwise is forfeiting a golden opportunity

The public library just keeps surprising me with these awesome books.

[skooks @skooks]

This is bad framing. Policing does not prevent murder... or any crime, really. Police *respond* to crime that has already happened. The crime rate goes up and down according to various social and economic factors many of which are beyond the mayor's control.

Ryan Clark confirms ESPN executives leaked his firing to Outkick (a MAGA website) so the MAGA cult can celebrate his firing.

He says ESPN executives didn’t like how he stood up for Black people, including Angel Reese.

People think incarceration does matter or doesn’t count if you didnt do 20 years standing on your head.

5 DAYS in jail can cost a person $30,000. 5 days. Not to mention years of fighting for their civil rights to be restored, the loss of work for no-showing, and loss of housing, food, and medical care access. Arrests ALONE destroy people’s lives.

The depth of cravenness by Mark Walters of the @Dodgers is stunning. But a thought occurred to me, so I checked. And yes:

"U.S. prosecutors and the SEC are investigating Mark Walter's insurance companies and Guggenheim Partners for possible financial improprieties."

Musk just has a hard time wrapping his head around a story where a man’s wife and child care if he comes home

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

Police DO NOT prevent crime; they respond to it. Crime is prevented by higher wages, guaranteed health care, food security, high-quality child care, housing, good schools, and addiction treatment.

BreakThrough News is under attack

Republican lawmakers are claiming our political views and @BTnewsroom reporting are part of some foreign plot.

The MAGA-dominated House Ways and Means Committee has issued us a subpoena – demanding internal communications, financial records and more. This is a flagrant abuse of power, and a direct attack on our work as journalists and on the First Amendment generally.

Add your name to our petition, defend independent media!
