    Actually, this isn't funny at all. None of it. When media giants gobble up local news stations, there are repercussions. And since you brought it up first this morning, will your admin green light the Tribune buyout?

    So funny to watch Fake News Networks, among the most dishonest groups of people I have ever dealt with, criticize Sinclair Broadcasting for being biased. Sinclair is far superior to CNN and even more Fake NBC, which is a total joke.

    Just a reminder that a “nonviolent” protest isn’t a protest that’s supposed to make you feel warm & fuzzy afterwards. One of the primary points of protest is to make people uncomfortable with conditions as they exist. Don’t conflate nonviolence & comfort.

    When someone regularly cites outlier polls instead of the polling average it's an **extremely** reliable tell that they're a bullshitter.

    It’s funny that the main argument people who oppose Louisiana joining the rest of the country in requiring unanimous jury verdicts use is “it wouldn’t work here,” I guess bc of Louisiana’s rich cultural history and obsession w its own exceptionalism?

    disability is not a bad word. this mindset is toxic & contributes to the medical model of disability, which views us as something to be fixed. eradicated. disability is just another expression of gene variance in humankind - let’s focus on accessibility, acceptance, & inclusion.

    Let's focus on ability, rather than disability. What we can do rather than what we can't.
