Incredibly misleading @newsweek.com headline, bothsidesing so hard it would make @nytpitchbot.bsky.social blush.

The premise is false.
Californians & Virginians had the chance for voters to decide whether or not they approved redistricting.

Texas & FLA gave voters NO such chance.

I’m in #NJ7 and we’ve been asking that question every day since he first got into office. No town halls, no accountability, no shame.

They think you're stupid.

This is monstrous. Just profoundly shameful behavior by our government.

I am a student of Jensen Huang's Nvidia keynotes, for he is a master communicator and educator. In his Patel interview, he also proves to be an adept debater.

Carr’s Drive-Thru Dinner Donald Trump’s FCC chair Brendan Carr is set to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Status has learned, where he will mingle with journalists and news executives at an event ostensibly abou...

For years, I've called on the White House correspondents to cancel their conflict-ridden dinner. This year, they play host to those who'd destroy them: Trump plus Hegseth, Miller, & now Carr, each invited by state media mogul Ellison. Disgusting.

“Parents must realize that refusing vaccinations doesn’t just put your own child at risk. It puts other children at risk.”

This quote is literal nightmare fuel. I may splurge and get some copies of @seananmcguire.bsky.social's Kingdom of Needle and Bone, where the first part *did* cause me nightmares.

For the love of little children, especially babies too young to be vaccinated, impeach that mother fucker RFK before more babies get sick.

This heartbreaking story should never have happened. In the UK or in the US.

This Scammer Used an AI-Generated MAGA Girl to Grift ‘Super Dumb’ Men A med student says he’s made thousands of dollars selling photos and videos of a young conservative woman he created using generative tools. He’s not alone.

Basically Fox News.

remember that atlantic article that pretended to be a first person account of a mother's loss of a child from measles? this is the real thing and it's brutal.

In Article About Horrific Shooting That Killed Eight Children, Forbes Lets Readers Place Bets About Gun Control In a story about a mass shooting that left eight children dead, Forbes is encouraging readers to bet on the news with fake money.

Forbes has long been a joke (who wants to tell Mika?) but this is below even my low expectations for it. Thoughtless greed.

Losing a child is always a tragedy - losing a child because of exposure to a disease that is preventable thanks to safe, effective vaccines is an obscenity.

Fuck this was hard to read

Fuck every anti vax motherfucker who killed this child.

Vaccination isn’t a “personal choice.”

As this family’s story shows- vaccination is a choice to care about the people around you, too.

Vaccination is safe, effective, and life-saving.

They not only won’t cancel; they’ve handed the entire event over to the fascists.

Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth are sitting at CBS’ table.

FCC’s Brendan Carr has actually been invited, while he’s trying to take away press freedoms.

AI chatbots could be making you stupider As large language models take over more and more cognitive tasks, researchers are warning this mental outsourcing comes with a cost.

I hate this journalistic-Luddite trope. Google didn't make us stupid, nor the internet. Lack of education leaves one stupid.

It’s not media cluelessness – it’s cowardice and complicity But there’s another word starting with “C” that describes some journalists: courage.

Journalists might've once had the excuse that the didn’t realize how bad MAGA extremism would be. But they can't plead cluelessness now. What’s left are cowardice, complicity and courage. Pick one.
