After reading my early '80s Ladybird book version at bedtime last night we've been on a Little Mermaid extravaganza! Watched today: the 2023 live action version, a 1970s Readers Digest cartoon (narrated by no less than Dr Kildare!) and best of the bunch - the trippy 1968 Soviet animation #filmsky

Fox News hosts called out other media companies for promoting hateful propaganda. The network sows division, racism, bigotry while promoting fear and paranoia. Fox News has demonized transgender folks and promoted false stories. The network promotes hate for profit.

They're calling it "reorganization." Closing research stations in 30+ states, gutting 90% of wildfire staff, and dismantling the agency that protects our forests, watersheds, and rural communities — including right here in Ely, MN.

@whitehouse.senate.gov said it plainly: Callias exposes this Supreme Court for what it has become — a partisan institution. They’ve helped Republicans rig maps, helped fund the fossil fuel corporations, and now they want to make voters feel powerless. Bad news for them: angry voters show up.

Auswandern bleibt das Ass im Ärmel. Meine Fresse nochmal. Diese Nation muss endlich sterben! Deutschland muss sterben! Das Land der Richter und Henker muss sterben!

Today, I stood with Ranking Member Maxine Waters and House Democrats at the Supreme Court ahead of oral arguments on Trump’s attempt to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook. Our economy depends on an independent Fed guided by data, not political pressure, to protect businesses and family budgets.

Hope you’re enjoying your little break Congress. Maybe you could squeeze some time to, I don’t know, doing your fucking job?! #congress #trump #iran

A mother in Georgia is questioning why her 8-year-old son was suspended after bringing what she says was a small gun made out of LEGOs to school.

I just spoke to Don Lemon, in one of our recent weekly Substack Lives, about the Trump Admin targeting him. He was fearless and said he stood by his reporting and the First Amendment. We all have to speak out, especially journalists. This is unacceptable and unconstitutional.

It's not the reason the Spurs scored here but the mindset from Wemby just speaks volumes. Fox swings to Wemby he looks to go 1v1. Nothing there, he swings. Now Vassell gets a drive, ball movement gets the Spurs a 3. Just feel more settled in and decisive around him tonight.

People expect their local leaders to be innovating and pushing the status quo to help people, ESPECIALLY right now. I spent my morning at TriMet's Board of Director's meeting and at Portland City Hall. Here were some of my takeaways.

The moral line on AI killing machines is being broken down by Christian Brose of Anduril. Pentagon policy is NOT found to actually forbid automation of the kill chain. 😰
