This is the kind of *incredible* journalism I'm so glad to see from @nytimes.com.
Don't retract the article where you let a right-wing monarchist straight up lie, don't issue a correction, or inform readers he's a far-right lunatic, just change the headline from present to future tense.

Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

Please explain to me why the bids on this aren't higher? It's an hour. With MS. BEV. And the bid is still *ridiculously* low. If nobody else bids on it, the current high bidder is going to get one HELL of a bargain.

right wing think tanks are making thinly veiled threats of political violence, the Supreme Court has neutralized the regulatory power of broad swaths of government, and the fate of the executive branch depends on whether the 81 year old atop it can learn to breakdance or something. Happy July 4th

The feeling I get from the governors meeting is that wether it turns out biden steps aside or stays the course, there's a plan going forward. If they put someone else in its not going to be a sudden random choice, it's not just wild flailing. The media's going "but her e mails" no matter what.

Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.

I think if he stays in the should-he-drop coverage eventually stops or at least slows to a trickle as it no longer becomes practical, e.g. past ballot-printing deadlines. And Biden Old is baked in to some degrees. Might be more risk with a new candidate getting their own But Her Emails storyline.

The impression I have is there's basically no info actually circulating other than the one bit wildy expanded by the time that everyone else keeps making sound worse. And apparently at least one of the "sources" for the times has basically said they lied about what was reported.

Sourcing on most of these stories is pretty thin. Every editor wants a story along the same lines. On debate night, Biden did better later, and at the after even.

Thy grand irony is that this is the ideal presidency: hands off, rested, making sure that when he needs to make a decision, he's operating at maximum capacity. It's not what we as voters want, but I do feel a large part of management is sitting back and figuring out what actually needs attention.

The reason the media couldn't really cover this lawsuit extensively is because she dropped her lawsuit on November 4, 2016, just four days before the election, and her real name was never revealed. She had received death threats, according to her lawyer, despite never being named publicly.

to be extremely clear: I think the focus on this over "the Supreme Court declares Trump is a king above the law" and the dangers of Project 2025 is dangerous, irresponsible and unacceptable but it is a significant danger to Biden's chances of winning in November

Yup. Lots of people pointing out obviously this would be weaponized against LGBTQ folks. But also it just fundamentally bristles with a hostility towards privacy and freedom that runs through the entire project.

This is the explicit goal of an astonishing amount of paid (and paid for!) propaganda out there. If you're feeling voting doesn't matter, maybe consider why it is so many people are spending so much money, time, effort and ad space trying to convince you not to.

For about the millionth time, I’ll just say — having a public editor who could ask people how this happened and lay it out for readers would actually make the paper look better than fucking up this badly and then walking away from it without saying a word.

Depending on how the protest jail support efforts are being conducted, sometimes it makes sense to call the NLG or jail support hotline even if you do have another lawyer! That way they can keep track of defendants and include you in mass defense
