Biden passed the most aggressive climate package in US history and probably ever again and I feel like the environmental beat is the only place we’re covering it

#Metoo ruined lives: the women’s. For the summer issue of Bookforum, I wrote about Christine Blasey Ford’s memoir “One Way Back,” the aftermath of disclosure, and what it means to be a public survivor when storytelling has proven futile. www.bookforum.com/culture/disp...

I’m sick to my stomach but also I know people capable of fighting are better prepared. So I’m absolutely feeling like I’m going to be leaning on them.

On this day in 1904, 120 years ago, The Marvelous Land of Oz was published, and gave us Princess Ozma, a hero to trans girls who strive to escape the boy curse to this very day.

This is particularly important to understand because Trumpist authoritarianism is the descendent of Jim Crow far more than say Hitler or Pinochet or Orban, and it's going to look a lot more like 1930s Mississippi than 1930s Berlin.

Not satisfied with only lying about how much their “grassroots” crypto advocacy group has raised, Coinbase is now also fudging the numbers around how many crypto pizza parties they prompted.

So weird when I look at news sites and the headlines are about Biden being old (shocking news, that) and not about that one supreme court ruling or about the latest details about Trump & Epstein and all of that grossness.

The flip side to all this line of speculation is that under any of John Roberts' mewling hypotheticals about a president being criminally prosecuted for taking bold action for the good of the nation, what would actually happen is the next president would issue a pardon

Now everyone--The Times and, sorry to say, MSNBC--is noting every missed syllable. The man has a stutter. I don't stutter but I am a mushmouth who speaks too fast and slurs words. I've had to overcome fear of public speaking. I have empathy for Biden. The press has empathy for no one (but Trump).

Perfection that this Washington Post headline about Mark Warner trying to assemble a team of Democrats to get Biden to exit the race uses a photo of Biden and Warner from June 2021 that includes Rep. senators plus Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. Chef’s kiss. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Democrats: The way Republicans blame uncomfortable realities on media bias is pathological and undermines their ability to grapple with hard truths. Also (many) Democrats: The Joe Biden stories are the media's fault! The NYT is biased against him! etc etc etc

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

One of the original unratified Amenments to the constitution (that has no deadline for ratification btw) would have capped Congressional districts at 50,000 people per district, or around 6,660 seats in Congress.
