I think this is the guy behind the livestream of the Francis Scott Key Bridge everybody has been sharing this morning. This story from Chesapeake Bay Media about the local shipwatchers who installed the camera is from one month ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY3G11n8zNs

Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and says: "In a few days, I will lose two world titles, back to back." Because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse to play by special rules, to wear abaya, to be accompanied by a man so I can leave the hotel, so I don't feel like a second class person.

NY Times, did you ask your random voters whether Trump is too insane, doddering, racist, sexist, criminal, traitorous, hateful to be effective as President? And why are the people you picture both white? This is not a poll. It is your agenda. This is not journalism. Shame.
Bravo. At last, coverage of the local Fox, the mini-Murdoch, Sinclair and its fearmongering about cities (read: race) on TV news (quoting Anne Nelson):

Sinclair’s recipe for TV news: Crime, homelessness, illegal drugs

The local news powerhouse, whose chairman recently bought the Baltimore Sun, focuses on fear in broadcasts that often align with Donald Trump’s view of cities.

So the guy who’s been railing about inflation is trying to sell shoes for $399 a pair? Got it.
Sinclair’s recipe for TV news: Crime, homelessness, illegal drugs

The local news powerhouse, whose chairman recently bought the Baltimore Sun, focuses on fear in broadcasts that often align with Donald Trump’s view of cities.

The Washington Post

Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%.

George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%.

These numbers tell the whole story.

When Serena Williams spoke out she was demonized as the angry Black woman

When Lebron James spoke out he was told to shut up and dribble

When Colin Kaepernick took a knee he was labeled as anti-American

But as Aaron Rodgers spews right wing conspiracy theories he's a truth teller

I can't qwhite put my finger on the difference🤔

✔️Via Emptywheel:

Half a day in reviewing Immunity hearing, I can't stop thinking that I'm listening to three women--one a lawyer/judge before it was normal, the two others women of color--presiding over arguments of two men appealing the order of a woman of color pertaining to white billionaire.

Tl;dr: The first x-President, a billionaire, trying to be a King, is trying his luck before a panel of women, two of them women of color, all of them hella smarter than he is. #Trump #legal

What a headline!
