this article starts off "well of course" and veers to "holy shit" near the end

MAGA destroyed countless families since 2016. My own included, my siblings and I estranged our MAGA father in 2024. He cares more about his Russian puppet than his own children’s future.
Why am I running for Congress? To fight for the future that MAGA destroyed.

This article is absolutely incredible.
I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

This could also be about journalism. The idea of fighting back against the smears was rarely taken seriously, capitulation was widely accepted and treated as both inevitable and right
Few things bug me more than higher ed leaders saying that we lost our mission and lost the trust of the public, when we have actually been the target of a decades-long smear campaign by the right wing that worked. The moment we’re losing our mission is right now, in capitulation.

Climate change affects EVERYTHING. It’s mad that the issue has become left-coded when it should be just reality-coded
Climate change is a kitchen table issue. For most people a home is their largest investment, when climate change depresses their property values or makes their home uninsurable, it's a huge economic hit.
Rising Home Insurance Premiums Are Eating Into Home Values in Disaster-Prone Areas
Changes in the insurance market have started to affect home prices in the most disaster-prone areas, new research finds, pushing some homeowners’ finances to the breaking point.
