I showed up to court with a letter from my doctor, my prescription, and my medication. Bravely—naively—I asked to be taken into custody, thinking jail would save me. I was wrong. @MarshallProj themarshallproject.org/2020/…

I can’t believe this is real. FOIA records appear to show Kash Patel directing his team to find accounts critizing him and respond. An aide warned that replying to “RetardFinder” would “look bad on you,” and Patel complained about the tweet views. Flagged by @seth_hettena

Today is my last day at HuffPost. After 11 years, I was laid off as part of the 33% cuts at BuzzFeed. My team, the National desk, was cut from 7 reporters to 3, after being cut from 14 to 7 just over a year ago

MUTUAL AID REQUEST Delaney is trying to rebuild after living through -- and then leaving -- domestic violence. Now, she's essentially homeless and starting over from nothing. This is my friend's cousin, the GoFundMe is legit and 100% goes to her. gofund.me/4506b64cd

Portland! There’s still time to get your ballot in, due at 8pm! The judge seats are SUPER IMPORTANT. I like the Working Family Party recommendations: Position #2: Chris Behre Position #5: Jo Perini-Abbott Position #14: Joe Hagedorn

Kratom is not the same thing as 7-Oh. 7-Oh is made in a lab. Kratom = plant. 7-Oh is fully synthetic w/o quality controls. Their marketers shamelessly hawk it as Oxy-lite, and their CEOs make millions getting unsuspecting Americans dependent on it. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

lol the Pope is trolling
Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

The 69th Commission on Narcotic Drugs has wrapped. The US is still being the US. International diplomacy is incredible and very far from obsolete. It may save us yet. Austria is the 17th country I’ve traveled to while on methadone.
