Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.

This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

This was an excellent piece investigative journalism that’s been on my mind lately. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Yes, WaPo has myriad issues. But this is absolutely worth a read, or in my case, a reread.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

If reports are accurate, it’ll be a shame to bid farewell to OnePlus. A trailblazing brand that forgot its identity. Which, as Nothing is beginning to show, is a Carl Pei signature—both the rise and fall.

"ICE is not the problem, it's Joe Biden's open borders that caused this!"
Biden deported 1.1 million people. (and turned away 3 million during Covid.)
Obama deported 3.1 million.
Without any need for ICE to lose their shit.
This has nothing to do with deportation and everything to do with obedience.

How Much Worse Could the Internet Get?
Cory Doctorow’s “Enshittification” is premised on the idea that we created a technological marvel and then corporate greed ruined it. But what if that is not the case?
