The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

The “Debate Me Bro” Grift: How Trolls Weaponized The Marketplace Of Ideas Among the attempts to create hagiographic eulogies of Charlie Kirk, I’ve seen more than a few people suggest that Kirk should be respected for being willing to talk to “those who disagree with him” as a sign that he was…

It’s horrific and inexplicable. Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are objectively pro-cancer. They’re destroying the entire infrastructure that has made so much progress and is poised to make much more. People will suffer and die because of them. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

I needed to read this today. Thought someone else might need it too.

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

40 years ago on this date, police dropped a bomb on a West Philadelphia neighborhood

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

BREAKING: President Trump just fired our nation's Librarian. My statement here:

Awesome news! Let’s give it up for Ohio—every single library levy on Tuesday’s ballot passed, some by blowout margins. While GOP extremists try to slash $91M in library funding, voters showed up to say loud and clear: we believe in books, not bans. 📚 More here: tinyurl.com/OH-libraries

RFK Jr. wants everyone to be infected with vaccine-preventable disease. He thinks it’s no big deal if your infant or your mom undergoing through chemo dies from a VPD. He thinks that if you die from a VPD, you are weak or you don’t “eat right” or you don’t exercise. He thinks you deserve it.

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

Why do ancestors love blue but "forefathers" hate it? Why is a painting of vampires in the US Capitol? What do Chinese immigrants, Rick Ross & banjos have in common? Spoiler Alert: These are just a few of the historical references embedded in Ryan Coogler's latest masterpiece

Fellow #Mets fans: there's always a way around the horrible Fox broadcast! Our own Howie Rose on the radio! If outside NYC area and in the US, a small monthly fee gets you a radio feed to every game on the MLB site. Mute TV, use ff/rw/pause controls to sync up and poof! Intelligent commentary! #LGM

Americans succeeded at creating a social material environment of (relative) safety but failed to produce a learning environment that would successfully communicate the reasons to maintain an environment of safety after the normal harms of the world passed out of common memory

Francisco Lindor lifted me up tonight and I really, really needed it. I even shed a tear. Thanks, Captain. Life is good. #LGM #Mets

The White House will ask Congress to cancel $9.3 billion already approved for foreign aid initiatives, public broadcasting and other programs.

"Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough." - FDR

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

From my Atlanta home, to yours: Happy Confederate Surrender Day to all who celebrate— and doubly to all those who don’t. Perish all compromises with tyranny!

The problem is: they've mistaken correlation for causation. They think their parents and grandparents had a good life *because* of manufacturing jobs. When, in reality, their parents and grandparents had a good life *despite* manufacturing jobs, because of unions, high taxes, and social policies.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Elon might be upset, but he should take comfort in knowing he helped cancer win.

If this moment should remind us of anything, it is that history is always NOW

Resistance to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 came from some states insisting that captured fugitives be granted due process before rendition. The Slave Power DID NOT like that. In Virginia, Lincoln's suggestion that fugitives be granted due process convinced its leadership to just up and secede.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

shameful

I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country's billionaires

Giving a sleeping kitty some lovin without waking them up does wondrous things to my brain.

Did you guys know that Kendrick is the first Pulitzer winner to perform at a Superbowl halftime show? Next year book Barbara Kingsolver, you cowards.

Fabulous 🇺🇸💥

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment. I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face. And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

“If your bank failed, you lost any savings you had there. Politicians and even bankers in the 20th century wanted to end the cycle of devastating depressions, which is why we have so many financial regulations today. The Trump administration wants to roll back as many regulations as they can…”

No new work to share at the moment (not that I’m not working, just that I can’t share). So have a herd of prehistoric fluffalumps from the archive.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

🚨🚨🚨 The tuberculosis outbreak has expanded from Kansas to Ohio.

Americans are confused, scared and angered by President Trump’s escalating attacks on our independent, professional and dedicated civil service. That's why I convened top federal workforce experts for this emergency webinar sharing crucial information.

This song always lifts the weights on me a little bit. Hope it does for you too. music.youtube.com/watch?v=gidh...

Come ON. You fight unconstitutional moves even if the target is unpopular because the next target will be for something even bigger and more important. And because many innocent people will die.

I just posted this on Facebook because while super online people see what's going on, normies don't. I just re-read it and it sounds unhinged. But it's what's happening. And even I can't believe it, even if we're seeing it.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”
