Their aim is nothing short of a new Dark Ages. Anti-science, anti-education, anti-democracy, in favor of needless human suffering.

Tariffs without Congressional approval are taxation without representation. Time to throw tea into the harbor.
He was the last SS guard, about to be tried when he died at 100. Let this warn the ICE agents who think they are only guards, following orders. Your masked crimes against humans and humanity will mark you to the end of your days.

Good news since we're not going to Target anymore. Costco also raised wages for most workers to $30/hour, minimum $20/hour. A good company. And hot dogs.

No, #BrokenPost, you don't write this headline as a question, answering it below. You lead with the truth. This isn't hard. A rewrite:
Vitamin A cannot treat measles but children are overdosing on RFK Jr's anti-vaccination lie.
Yesterday, 1,400 protests were held to protest the Trump whose headlines fill this page. But to the #BrokenTimes this morning, they are a buried BTW. It has plenty of photos; none here. This is what they call "news judgment." To the Times, we are not news.

WTF, NYer. "If we agree that college primarily serves a credentialling process that stamps select young people as worthy of work..." We do not. So much for the bastion of erudite journalism. This is sensationalism, damaging our most vital institution: education.

No, Goddamnit, WashPost, it's not on her. It's on him and you. She faces nothing but racism and misogyny. You, as editors, face the test of how you will deal with that. You fail.
Why is this not front-page news? Where is the outrage and alarm?
Was about to write this but @julieroginsky.bsky.social did it first: "Any television network with an ounce of integrity should refuse to carry Trump’s address live." They should delay, then fact-check the hell out of it, providing context, i.e. journalism saltypolitics.substack.com/p/the-medias...
Of fuck off, #BrokenTimes. Children are dying because of his disinformation but because he wears jeans and hiking boots, he's "stoic," "nervous," and "hitting his stride." Save your empathy for those he is killing.
Disgusting. Immoral. Betrayal. Traitorous. Trump and his fascist henchmen planned to humiliate Zelenskyy. They humiliated themselves and our nation. Trump serves Putin, not the United States. He is the enemy of democracy. Will our institutional press cover fascism now?
#MurdochFox is not airing Van Hollen audio right now, talking over him, so their viewers do not hear what is being done in their name. What a piece of shit they are.
God Bless Paul Davies and the @PhillyInquirer: "The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump...There was only one person at the debate who does not deserve to be running for president. The sooner Trump exits the stage, the better off the country will be."
Oh, Lord. Joe and Mika went to Mar-a-lago. "What we did agree on," Mika said, "was to restart communications." Access. "He seemed interested in finding common ground with Democrats." Credulity. They revert to their mean.
It's the idiot's economy.
Worst April since Depression. Absolutely unnecessary. He did this all on his own. You wanted the "unitary executive," the king, and you installed an idiot in the throne.
Good work -- actual journalism -- from ABC News.
