Personally, I think you should be apologizing for getting rich off the backs of people with disabilities by selling a life-sustaining medicine for $275 when it only costs you $10 to make. Insulin isn't a recreational drug; It literally keeps people alive.

One of the great failures of our media in this country is the regular both sides-ing of ‘far left’ and ‘far right’ as some sort of matching counterparts. The far right cozies up to Nazis and incites political violence. The far left wants Medicare for All and a Green New Deal.

AOC to Chris Wallace: "As someone who is often, I think, characterized as 'extreme,' I of course would object to that. I do not believe that I am as extreme in the way that Marjorie Taylor Greene on the Republican side is extreme."

Every time Ukrainian troops retake a town that was under Russian occupation, we see these kind of scenes. Something to keep in mind when people tell Ukraine they need to stop their advances or negotiate away territory occupied by Russia. That would mean abandoning Ukrainians.

Amazing footage of the first Ukrainian troops reaching Kherson’s main square.

Synes heller aviser med fordummende debattstoff burde få det motsatte av pressestøtte, en slags grunnrenteskatt på idioti
Quote Tweet
Medietilsynet mener Filter Nyheter publiserer for lite debattstoff til å kvalifisere til å få støtte. Men det er faktabasert gravejournalistikk, ikke kommentarer det er for lite av i norsk offentlighet, skriver vi i denne (oh, the irony!) kommentarartikkelen.

🚨 New data dive finds the PA debate HELPED Fetterman. This is what we said at the time. But many reporters were uncomfortable seeing a man struggle so they bought Oz’s spin. Actual voters, who understand struggle more than most political reporters, had a much different reaction.
Quote Tweet
An incredible look at the PA-Sen race based on daily tracking of Fetterman & Oz favorable ratings by @Civiqs that we can now release. That "disastrous" debate? In reality, it helped Fetterman and stalled out Oz's improving favorable ratings. @kerryeleveld dailykos.com/stories/2022/1

Det hemmeligholdes hvilke politikere som må betale ekstra skatt på de gratis pendlerboligene de har fått på fellesskapets regning. Derfor har Aftenposten kontaktet 275 politikere som har hatt slik bolig. Over 100 svarer med taushet når de blir spurt.

NEW: A senior member of Twitter’s legal team just posted this message in Slack:“Everyone should know that our CISO, Chief Privacy Officer and Chief Compliance Officer ALL resigned last night. This news will be buried in the return-to-office drama. I believe that is intentional.”

Dette er en helt enorm skandale. Et så viktig spørsmål for samfunnet vårt, og så behandler det regjeringsoppnevnte utvalget det som en fuckings Nettavisen-poll. Noen må så innmari gå. VI VEIT ALLEREDE AT SNUTEN LIKER GØNNERE, DET VAR IKKE SPØRSMÅLET.

Hey why have you not publicly apologized for spreading something you knew was an absolute lie about the violent attack on Paul Pelosi? Yeah, yeah. You deleted your tweet. Whatever. Why have you not apologized? Is it because you’re a sad, homophobic coward?
