"A major story that probably doesn’t get talked about enough is the reality that the president of the United States is, well, out of his mind."

Thanks dude super helpful

NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

Oh, this one’s gonna bounce back BIGTIME on That Blessed Day 💥🙌🏾

I'm not a political consultant but i feel like dems could probably get a lot of leverage out of pushing for green technologies that would wean the us off being dependent on oil in this particular moment

I was in a funk today because the world is a shitshow. So I took a detour on my way home and stopped by the George Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. I love modern architecture, so I thought it might flip my mood. It did just the trick. Check it out with me.

I'm shocked

I'm waiting to hear about the atom bomb jokes any minute now

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane: The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

This is what ICE has done to journalist Estefany Rodriguez.

I’m so old I remember that the Ras Baraka/LaMonica McIver incident started when a city objected to a facility in their locality. Now it’s happening everywhere.

He's completely out of his fucking mind -- this is insanity

I think the President musing about killing people "just for fun" would have resulted in every major paper demanding impeachment in the before times.

I analyzed the Proud Boys donor list. The most common occupation was real estate (realtor, mortgage broker) — the same parasitic class that was over-represented among Jan 6th rioters.

I don’t think this shit will work but i never want to hear about free speech from any trumpers or anti anti trumpers ever again, fuck off forever bsky.app/profile/cram...

I just noticed this guy posts this morning. I have asked him if he's part of this deal. He is telling followers this was unpaid and has a relatively small audience so perhaps it is just his thing. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTh3Y8bpC/eh

Our rights aren't up to ICE agents to decide.

@angelicabastien.bsky.social and i answer the question of the moment: "what does "sinners" record-breaking oscar nomination haul mean?" for the academy? everything. for the future of black film? history tells us it won't change much. for @vulture.com.

This fucking moron

Why do we need better ethics and social sciences education in STEM - and in particular, tech? This. This is exactly why. The arrogance is astounding.

Amazing

He’s not using political violence as a branding exercise? Shocking!

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

"Jews don't belong in American society." Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America. But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

I know there’s a lot going on, but we can’t ignore this.

I give up

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

I'd forgotten how hard the preface to DuBois's "Black Reconstruction" (1934) went...and am saddened by how contemporary it still feels.

Matt's one of the good guys! Check out this store, a labor of love.

A lot of Americans, while still technically alive, have already given their souls over to evil and are completely dead inside

8/8 The fact that Platner is obviously a guy who has a Nazi-adjacent past--tattoos, Blackwater, history of racism--and is now running as a leftist is a BONUS for these guys. To them, it's not a red flag, it's proof of concept. They can't tell you that, though, because they know how that sounds.

The comeuppance is going to be incredible.

I keep saying this, but Gen Z Nihilism is quickly becoming something much darker. They have moved from believing in nothing to believing in nothing but power. We didn't defend values like justice and Democracy. Now we're here.

the cheapest and most abundant and utile political resource for the american ruling class is muslim life. this has been true my entire life. you can never go wrong slaughtering muslims

Children with no morals at the wheel of a giant death machine

“MAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.
