"I want Ohio's elected legislators to make those decisions. But I think it's fine to sort of set some minimum national standard.” -JD Fucking Vance on abortion, which the NYT edited to remote the "minimum national standard" bit

I’m going to start with the absolutely jaw-dropping news that The New York Times deceptively edited a quote to make it appear that JD Vance opposes a national abortion ban. — @jessicavalenti.bsky.social

WSJ has fired Hong Kong-based journalist Selina Cheng after she was elected chair of a local journalism union. She was told advocating for press freedom “would be incompatible with my job.” Cheng’s full statement (posted via twitter):

The second sentence: BINGO Musk, too, with SpaceX, etc. That second sentence is also the libertarian sutra.

That Vance is a direct line to Thiel and Andreessen is truly important. Trump wants their money. Thiel wants to sell billions in Palantir contracts to power Trump’s mass surveillance/ethnic cleansing infrastructure. Pence was the Christian Nationalists’ guy. Vance is reactionary capital’s.

Lost in the ongoing Trumpapalooza is the excellent news that a malaria vaccination developed at Oxford Univ. over the last 30 years and costing only £3 per shot is being unrolled in malaria-prone countries. If it fulfills its promise, this will make an enormous difference to so many lives.

Missouri is going full steam ahead to murder an innocent person

Please sign the petition demanding his execution be revoked. The DNA evidence exonerated Marcellus Williams but the Missouri Supreme Court does not care. go.pardot.com/webmail/9101...

Thank you :) I grew up not far from him & lots of what he said in his book was bunk, so I called attention to this at a big dinner where he was the honorary speaker. I *may* have been a plant of sorts—a lone liberal who got her ticket via a friend in business for the express purpose of rumbling him

The right way to celebrate your 24th wedding anniversary (in a ruin on a mountain outside Woodstock). We had a great day, and really love the town and it’s welcome of us queer-trending folk. We met 26 years ago in August.

Today we drove to a Tibetan monetary, then hiked to the ruins of a turn of the century hotel crumbling on Overlook Mountain (NY), then onward to the fire lookout tower for the view.

“Judges must recuse from cases where the President who appointed them is a defendant” seems like a perfectly cogent rule that should have been in the constitution from the beginning

I read your book and thoroughly enjoyed it; have also read both of Nita Prose's books (The Maid, and The Mystery Guest). Would recommend all three to anyone! (They made me feel seen. :) )

He claims immigrants don’t enrich our country wtf; he wants a country without immigrants. EVERYONE not indigenous here arrived via immigration. Ps: VANCE is a Scottish surname. Derived from the word for ‘marshland’ which makes sense since he has never stood on solid ground.

I oppose this worldview—this theory of America—with every fiber of my being.

Hi! I’m a #nonbinary #autistic author, historian, occasional TV personality—and this year I published a novel with an autistic protagonist. I am presently working on a thriller with a non-binary protagonist. www.washingtonpost.com/books/2024/0...

I live in Ohio and in the US and apparently JD. Vance learned no history in his years of elite education at Yale. I learned how immigrants made the US in my public school classrooms.

This is the way.

Senate Dems should take one of their assorted gun control bills off the shelf, rename it something like "Trump Assassination Prevention Act," and force Rs to do a talking filibuster to block it

Remember when we had that ludicrous, all-consuming moral panic about college kids protesting the slaughter in Gaza and then the often violent suppression of free speech that followed was kind of a minor sidebar story and then everyone just moved on?
