Honestly don't care about Biden pardoning his son. Norms are wrecked right now and Trump is nominating people who he literally and openly has said will go after political rivals and the media. Anyone outraged over it is living in a prior time when America was functional and norms existed.

Imagine if, thanks to Kash Patel, we as a country accidentally manage to abolish police at a federal level

This is what it boils down to. The norms were never gonna stop Trump anyway. Never have, never will. So i's pretty silly to complain about Biden setting a bad example for Trump when it comes to norm keeping or breaking.

There are lots of norms I WISH Biden had broken, and this does kind of rub salt in the wound re: him being so ostentatiously high-minded about norms that he didn't do more to counter the threat of fascism until it was too late.

But also, again, even if I did care about norms? There's never really been a "don't do pardons to save your buds" norm. When I was a kid everyone was complaining about Clinton doing that with his brother and his donors.

SJSU has lost the championship tonight to Colorado State. SJSU has come under fire for having an allegedly trans player. The team stood by her, even after her own teammate Brooke Slusser unleashed vitriolic comments in the press. Congratulations to SJSU. They did the right thing.

NC’s “Helene Relief” bill (SB 382) is just a legislative power grab bill. Not only from the state-level executive branch, but also from the local levels, in making local decisions -#ncpol #ncgov #ncga #democracy

They’re not sending their smartest.

Reminder: Don’t just block on Bluesky, report. This place actually will ban trolls and harassment. Second pro-tip: My comment section is a great place to practice this.

Trump nominates Kash Patel to direct the FBI. Patel has already vowed to go after journalists and the media. Now, more than ever, we need strong, independent journalism that will stand up to what is increasingly looking like an administration ready to burn press freedom to the ground.

Kat Tenbarge interviewed me about the migration to Bluesky among journalists. It's easy to see why it's happening. It's easier to find news, harder to spread disinfo, trolls don't drown out the good content, and links are not deprioritized. It's a breath of fresh air for journalism to thrive in.

Journalists flock to Bluesky a...

I get the need to safeguard from shoplifting but this CVS setup is insane.

I love that the actual Libs Of TikTok handle was taken before Chaya could get it and renamed "Fuck Fascists."
