Here's the post… and reading the thread it sounds like these are opinions based on pre-season interviews and trailers, not based on the actual episodes. 5 episodes in, though, and this thread is aging very poorly. Will be curious to see.
My wife who works in healthcare told me she's out on The Pitt because apparently they're both sidesing ICE in an ep this season and the new main character lady is trying to bring AI into the ER. I thought she was making it up to get me pissed off but no lol she was telling the truth

Someone posted a few weeks ago saying they didn't like the new season of The Pitt because it was trying to do "both sides" with ICE and was pro AI.
I don't know which episodes they saw, but the "rent a cop" was shown to be an incompetent hot head and the AI keeps fucking up.
So, no. (Thankfully!)

That the illegal destruction of USAID will kill more than *20 million people* in the next five years, & has ALREADY KILLED 600,000 in just one year, is a world-historical crime that Americans aren't being told about in the terms & with the repetition necessary for them to believe it.

it's like our entire sense of morality has been filtered through the act of consumption, and the highest good we can imagine is feeling good and clean and pure as individuals, unpolluted by the obvious evil are around us
meanwhile, real change requires the kind of work you need a drink after

Well they keep 'accidentally' detaining Americans so yeah they're going to need a fucking warrant
Ron Johnson: "Why would they to remove their masks? Because they want these officers exposed, they want them afraid, they don't want to carry out their enforcement actions. They want judicial warrants, which would completely neuter ICE's ability to apprehend"

"The larger lesson of Pretti’s murder is that when it comes to guns and gun rights, most defenders of Trump’s proto-fascist police state clearly believe the Second Amendment exists to protect conservatives but bind liberals."

DOJ's release of the Epstein files still does not comply with the law.
But even without the full release, we see why Trump has been so determined to cover them up: he’s all over them, including allegations that he sexually assaulted young girls.
Will Rs continue to support an apparent pedophile?

Trump has arrested Don Lemon & Georgia Fort—two Independent Black journalists who reported on a protest in Minneapolis—for their “crime” of reporting.
Fascists don’t want exposure. As corporate media happily capitulate to Trump, he’s targeting independent journalists who refuse to bend the knee.
