"The Shadow President," @andykroll.bsky.social's deep dive into Russell Vought, has just won a George Polk award for political reporting.
The piece chronicles Vought’s rise from the Senate mailroom to his position as one of the most influential players in the Trump administration.

Insane to rollout your billionaire-backed "ditch the trannies and fuck the planet" think tank the same week the most influential voices on the right are calling for transgender people to be locked up and subjected to Nazi medical experiments
THE CUT They Want the Shooter to Be Trans By Lex McMenamin, a writer and editor at Teen Vogue.
“Anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage. Trans people are afraid to leave the country, let alone leave their houses. The right-wing ecosystem has gladly spent years creating these conditions, while Democrats have by turns avoided saying anything about them at all” 😞

If you don’t want to be called fascists don’t do the most fascist things imaginable
man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger
Hey do me a favor and signal boost this story. It's got to combat a lot of disinformation.
Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.
. @danamilbank.bsky.social's conversion to a tree hugger continues to astound me. When one becomes attuned to the living world, delights abound:
"we also need to pause for a moment in gratitude for the bounty that remains."

it's not a misunderstanding. it's not a rush to judgement
it's an intentional disregard for the truth - a strategy to justify hatred and worse for the people they seek to oppress
they won't correct the record because the truth didn't matter to them in the first place
let's be clear:
it is the mark of a fascist state that in the wake of a public murder the ruling party immediately scapegoats its political opponents
it is the mark of a fascist state that despite the truth coming to light, it will not deter them from continuing the lie or correcting themselves
We were in Minneapolis this past weekend, and checked out the Minneapolis Cargo Bike Library (@mplscargobikelibrary.com) - an amazing community asset to help spread biking, through free access to cargo bikes!

I’m not the first person to make this observation, but this being the biggest story in the world at present really speaks to how much Twitter still serves as a universal assignments editor for English-language journalists.
CNN. The initial report, also called a bulletin, typically include all information gathered in an investigation so that agents anywhere will know what is being collected - but the information is not always correct. The ATF bulletin said that agents found engravings that they interpreted as "expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology" on ammunition inside a weapon believed to have been used in the murder of Kirk. Two law enforcement sources told CNN that agents quickly ran an initial search on one of the markings, including a series of arrows, which analysts initially interpreted to be a connection to the transgender community. That information remains unverified and is still being investigated.
The markings that supposedly expressed “transgender ideology” were………..a series of arrows.
i say this about once every six months but that final A Tribe Called Quest record is truly extraordinary. could make a legitimate case that it is their best record, which by default makes it one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time
Hi 😅
CNBC: The EPA is moving to rescind this endangerment finding on carbon dioxide and greenhouses gases. Is that a danger to public health?
MAKARY: To be honest, I don't know enough about that issue
CNBC: You're in charge of our public health! Can you look into it for us?
Gerrymander? I hardly know her!
We are such an unserious country
Happy three day weekend 😊
