How Ronald Reagan made the Republican Party the ungovernable bugfuck idiots they are today. (Heather Cox Richardson substack)

This is a very fucked-up story about a woman whose ex-husband killed her after a Portland bail fund bailed him out for his previous domestic violence charges, after which he attacked her multiple times before killing her. It's also shockingly dishonest. Writer Nancy Rommelmann aims at the progressive DA (who asked for high bail), aims at the bail fund, conflates the DA not charging protesterswith the judge fucking up on keeping that one guy behind bars. People who may be innocent should not languish in jail just because they're too poor to have $2000. People who are an actual danger should not be freed, whether they've got money or not. That's on judges. And they, being human, fuck up all the time. (Washington Examiner)

Honeybee colony collapse vaccine? YES PLS. — The Guardian
