One of the greatest pieces of evidence that we haven't had a real news media for a very long time is the sheer degree to which media outlets turn themselves into promotional pawns for large corporations on Black Friday and the holiday season.
Whatever this is, it ain't subtle.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

So much symbolism.
A democratic sweep was the perfect way to honor Dick Cheney's death. Well done, everyone. See you tomorrow.

The fascists are not inevitable. They're not unstoppable. They're not all powerful. They want you to think that, but millions turned out last month to call their bluff. And millions turned out today to claim our power. We will win.

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

This broke me. She’s someone’s mama, and they have kidnapped her.
I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.
