For doing their job, reporters @brittny_mejia & @liborjany were berated by LAPD & police union officials. The outrage exposed an alarming ignorance of a free press among top police officials in one of the nation’s largest cities, experts say My analysis: latimes.com/california/story…

“Police officers are public servants paid by the taxpayers, and part of the responsibility of being public servants in a democracy involves answering reasonable questions from reporters about events of consequence in the community. This is a normal part of reporting.”

Insurance companies pulling out of Florida completely because of litigation issues and climate change… And the literal response from the state’s GOP CFO is whining like “they’re good at virtue signaling” and “the Bud Light of insurance” 🤡 clickorlando.com/news/florid…

What you get when you drag all educated people as “elites” and only celebrate and elevate morons
In 2023, only 19% of Republicans had "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in higher education, according to Gallup. That’s a 37-point fall from 2015. f-st.co/JtefrUF

LASD usually goes over budget on overtime by at least $50 million a year. The #1 reason employees list for why they need to work that overtime is... blank. They just leave it blank. $50 to $150m over budget per year -- and zero reason listed.

I have a piece in The NYT this morning. A Minneapolis suburb hired a Black chief and assistant chief. Over half the department quit. Yet the world didn’t end. If cops would rather quit than respect the people they serve, maybe it’s okay to let them go. nytimes.com/2023/07/02/opini…

“At least 32 inmates died in TDCJ [Texas] prisons in total during the month of June.”
Breaking: A 37-year-old woman died early this morning at TDCJ's Murray Unit, the department confirmed to @KXAN_News. She is at least the third inmate in their 30s to die in custody this week. TDCJ has not released a cause of death. kxan.com/news/inmate-dies-fr…

as expected, the court has inverted the 14th. an amendment written explicitly to directly ameliorate the conditions of race hierarchy becomes in conservative hands an amendment that says it’s illegal to try to directly ameliorate the conditions of race hierarchy
The Supreme Court has ruled on affirmative action. Per Amy Howe of @SCOTUSblog, "The court holds that Harvard and UNC's admissions programs violate the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment."

While we're talking affirmative action, 43% of white students admitted to Harvard in 2019 were legacies, athletes or related to staff/donors.

I've written around twenty episodes of animated TV, much of which spent weeks in Netflix's global top ten, all available to stream worldwide every single day, and I have seen about $400 in residuals. Not great! deadline.com/2023/06/writers…

Accurate to my experience with GOP family members—faux-worldly cynicism (and whataboutism) quickly appear to short-circuit sustained, considered thought on any subject of import. So much easier than having a real think, I guess

This description by @anneapplebaum is of Putin's Russia, but it's happening here as the GOP goes culture war crazy. Flooding the zone with shit. Nonstop attacks on the news media, teachers, experts. Half meant conspiracy theories. The effect is to make paying attention pointless.

It was only thanks to the GOP that Trump got away with: a) stealing $400M from Congress and a foreign ally (1974 Act forbids this) b) then extorting/bribing foreign ally with that same money to concoct a smear campaign against political rivals It was a righteous impeachment.
House Republicans just censured Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff over his criticisms of then-President Trump and his role in leading the first Trump impeachment inquiry.
