It's not a coincidence that this draconian ruling will affect a city that is more than 80 percent Black.
You don't have a right to safe drinking water, US court rules
A Trump-appointed judge also said Americans have no “constitutional right to truthful information” during a public health crisis.

I just ate absolute shit in front of the Ariana Grande concert I couldn't get tickets to, becoming the first woman in history to add injury to insult.

My latest. I’ve been watching the media coverage of the murders of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer. One way media can fight back against male violence: If you kill your wife, you don’t get to be called a “husband” any more. You’re her killer. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

"It’s probably going to become even more of a thing as younger people who have been more deeply steeped in the internet get older. So it is here, and it will be here for a long time," @alibreland.bsky.social says of what CJR calls "the far-right media bubble." www.cjr.org/the-intervie...
The Atlantic's Ali Breland on why it's important to cover the online far right.
An Atlantic reporter says far-right influencers such as Nick Fuentes offer clues to where US politics is going.

Arresting Black journalists is also vice signaling. Their base is racist and hates journalists and they want to get them excited again. The mainstream media industry has never protected Black journalists or journalists of color the way it should.
You don’t need to care about celebrity news. But what you should know is that right-wing content creators have built a viral online pipeline that directs pop culture consumers—especially women—from celeb gossip to conservative news and commentary. spitfirenews.com/p/brooklyn-b...

I keep thinking about how a young woman DoorDash driver was charged and hauled into court for recording and posting evidence of her customer sexually harassing her, while nothing is happening to the droves of men using Grok to sexually harass women and children. The institutions are pro-perpetrator.
the reality is no one has ever wanted white chocolate when regular chocolate is available. it has simply been foisted on us by shadowy candy forces. it is like candy ethanol.
Thank you to @evanurquhart.bsky.social and @assignedmedia.org for these really kind words.

To the man who told me, "I know slavery was bad, but if there's one Black girl I'd want to own, it'd be you," just wanna let you know that you've ruined my weekend...🫠
Thank you to @ariannacoghill.bsky.social at @motherjones.com writing about brown and black skin condition that’s not conducive to shaving every day like Pete wants from the military. MSM is not covering this sadly the outright racism by this evil moron.
Last year, we wrote about survivor Taylor Cadle. When she was 12, she told police she’d been raped. They said she was lying and charged her with false reporting. She then took the extraordinary measure of recording the next act of abuse. Now, Taylor has legal counsel and filed a lawsuit.
Rachel de Leon@raeoflion.bsky.social · 2y agoMy latest reporting follows a brave young woman named Taylor Cadle. In 2016, as a 12-yr-old, she tried to report to the Polk County Sheriff’s Dept that her adoptive father had sexually abused her. A detective called her a liar and sought criminal charges.
Just because federal employees aren't surprised doesn't mean they aren't mad. "I liked the fact that I still had the capacity for disappointment,” said one furloughed worker. My first story for @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
For furloughed workers, Trump's partisan shutdown jabs are just the latest slight
“Not only is it insulting to the standards we’re all supposed to abide by, but it’s also insulting to our intelligence.”

“To Hegseth…that’s the whole problem: a military with Black leadership, with women in senior roles & without obstacles to a diverse officer corps is one in which white men have to take orders from the wrong kind… @ariannacoghill.bsky.social @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
If only Pete Hegseth's military shaving crusade was just stupid
Hegseth knows damn well who he's pushing out: Black troops.

Re-introducing myself 👋 I'm @motherjones.com's disability reporter, where I cover politics as it relates to disability. I am also chronically ill/disabled myself. You can get in contact with me at jmetraux@motherjones.com or via Signal: juliametraux.49
I think there should generally be more grace given to journalists for errors, as some can come as a result of brain fog related to chronic illness etc. But, when it comes to mistakes that promote transphobia, racism etc, I feel like most publications underreact to that.
A judge ruled that Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in LA was illegal. As retired General Greg Smith told us back in June, politicians co-opting the military puts the roots of our democracy in "extreme danger."
“Madness”: A Retired Brig. General Slams Trump’s Military Power Grab - Reveal
On this week’s “More To The Story,” a former National Guard officer discusses the perils of politicizing the military and why the Insurrection Act needs reform.
