Remember when #Hillary called some #Trump supporters
#deplorables? It got HUGE coverage as compared to Trump calling his enemies #vermin, like #Hitler did? #MediaMatters report:
-Broadcast TV: 18 times more coverage than Trump’s vermin remark
CNN, Fox News, & MSNBC mentioned deplorables nearly 9 times more than vermin
Print: Clinton's comment 29-to-1 Trump's vermin https://www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump/major-news-outlets-gave-much-less-coverage-trumps-vermin-attack-then-they-did-clintons
#Clinton later expressed regret for the comment, but Trump DIDN'T. AND his supporters AGREED with him!
There was a lot I was supposed to do this morning. But I learned that my county supervisors plan to approve license plate reading cameras in the county tomorrow, so I dropped everything to write this emergency comment to say HELL NO.
It's also now a Techdirt post:
Super-petty from Sunak, but the BBC framing a Greek opining that historical treasures appropriated from his nation should be returned as a "row" is rather telling, too. Making the integrity of our colonial treasure house a diplomatic stumbling block is not a good look for my homeland.

Who will be incarcerated first, Trump or his attorneys? LOL.

When they say “working with” the Republican Party means that we asked the White House for comment on a story (that is actually very critical of Biden lol)
But it’s so funny how the right continues to call me a TikTok content creator (I am!) but never mention that I am also a columnist for The Washington Post, which is where this reporting appeared https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/11/24/bigmac-price-tiktok-biden-economy-inflation/
Erica Lafferry is the daughter of the principal killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre
She was diagnosed with cancer and had to resort to crowdfunding her treatment as her insurance denied her claim
That was after the Alex Jones verdict
A verdict he was ordered to pay $1.48B in defamation charges
An amount he hasn’t paid while spending $90,000/mo to support his lifestyle
His victims are now asking for 6% of what he owes
This system is set up for one group and one group only
Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo leaves Twitter 🐦
“Why I am leaving Twitter.
I have made the decision to leave Twitter.
Twitter, far from being the groundbreaking medium that initially made information accessible to the greatest possible number of people, has in recent years become an impressive tool for destroying our democracies”
Conservative men have made themselves unfuckable with their abhorrent views, but somehow this is a problem liberal women should solve by lowering their standards.

Listen to Univision anchor Jorge Ramos. He charged that his network gave too friendly an interview with Trump, and in so doing it “put in doubt the independence of our news department.” Ramos added that Univision cannot “offer Trump an open microphone to broadcast his falsehoods and conspiracy theories." Let it be a warning to all news media.

According to the UN report "Children in Israeli military detention":
"It is understood that this is the first and only juvenile military court in operation in the world."
@JoshuaACasey @marcelias Au contraire, that is *exactly* how the mathematics of voting works
@sleepfreeparent @JoshuaACasey @marcelias Don’t strain yourself shoveling that garbage. No one’s going to pay attention to it. Dems aren’t doing any of the things that you’re saying they’re doing.
