So many right-wing and Intellectual Dark Web "media critics" must have started the long weekend 36 hours early. Hard to understand otherwise why they've fallen silent about the worst media scandal in recent history, Fox's confessed deception of its viewers about the 2020 election

Reminder that cops just pick and choose when and how to enforce the law, and this problem is getting worse.

This week:
— Missouri Republicans passed a new rule banning women lawmakers from showing their arms
—Alabama’s Republican Attorney General said women can be jailed for abortion pills
—Oklahoma Republicans intro’d a bill to jail women for abortions
But gas stoves.

A trope of historical narratives is that superstitious natives believed European invaders to be gods. Yet the more I read, the more it seems these stories are post-conquest propaganda. Take the claim that the Aztecs (Mexica) thought Hernán Cortés was the god Quetzalcoatl.

White MAGA Floridians Charles Barnes & Jay Ketcik each deliberately voted twice—they got community service.
Black Democrat Floridians Tony Patterson & Romona Oliver each voted once when informed they could vote—they got arrested & jailed.
This is what white supremacy looks like

"At least 33 of those 50 companies have resumed donating to election objectors."
In capitalist societies, the business community is the pivot that decides whether democracy lives or dies. US business is ready to let democracy backslide in exchange for tax cuts and deregulation.
Devastating from today's @nytimes on the reckless opportunism of how segments of corporate America responded to Jan 6 assault on Congress

“Using data from 35 million traffic stops, we show that the probability that a stopped driver is Black increases by 5.74% after a Trump rally. The effect is immediate, specific to Black drivers, [lasting], & is not justified by changes in driver behavior.” academic.oup.com/qje/advance…

Kalief Browder died by suicide after he was wrongfully imprisoned on Rikers for 3 years on the false accusation that he stole a backpack.
A Backpack.
Brett Favre knowingly stole $5M in welfare & he walks free while selling a Bible app about how Christian he is.

Two days ago the NYT posted an investigation into politicians trading stocks
They found that 81 Democrats & 101 Republicans filed up to 3,700 trades and $100M in possible volume
Many had 100% winners, with some perfectly timed
Here’s examples of just how good they were

It amazes me how Fox News doesn’t believe a word of what law enforcement says when they execute a search warrant against Donald Trump but believes every single claim by law enforcement when they execute an unarmed Black man.

You don't need to reflexively trust the FBI. You shouldn't. Their record is far from perfect.
You just need to see there's a search warrant, recognize Trump has a copy but is choosing not to release it, see his shifting story, observe his long record, and not be willfully dumb.
