If you see an apartment for rent and it has exposed brick and/or marble sinks, RUN. The landlord is cutting corners and doesn't know what tf they're doing.

Sincere question: what would it take to primary this loser? We only have 903 days. www.timeanddate.com/countdown/el...

We track the positive stuff too. I'm filling in gaps but this is where we've been for pro-LGBTQ+ legislation the past 16 years. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Here's the adult vaccination recommendations as of Nov 2024. Why did I save these? Because I knew someone was going to try to stomp on this, and not today, Satan. Not today. #CDC #vax #vaccines #getvaxxed

Sincere question and I hope we can make a safe place for this discussion, are there people out there who feel like they don't know how to get involved and make a difference? What do you feel like the barriers are for you getting involved in organizing? Have you tried and failed?

really fantastic job opportunity for folks with editorial experience (relatedly, if y’all are ever in the market for a labor reporter, PLEASE lmk @19thnews.org!) 19thnews.org/19th-news-ed...

The author of a viral Reddit thread alleging fraud at a food delivery company tried to back up his claim by sending me AI-generated documents. Today I'm publishing those documents in the hopes that it helps other reporter see what we're up against in the age of AI www.platformer.news/fake-uber-ea...

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

For everyone saying the solution is just to get off Twitter/X—that’s not going to cut it. This problem preceded Grok, it preceded Twitter, it preceded the internet itself. It will outlast the AI boom. It’s a problem of patriarchy, which is reinforced with violence.

Racism murders us

New at Can We Still Govern: @agpines.bsky.social & @lizananat.bsky.social explain how the work volatility of low income service employees will make it hard for them to satisfy new SNAP/Medicaid work requirements, even when they work lots of hours. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/when-volat...

That said, we know people want more safety tools, so @eugenevinitsky.bsky.social and I are building them! Here's what that looks like in our client. My post got a lot of interactions and then a big account reposted it, so alerts showed up and I have tools to deal with it. Give us more ideas!

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

Whenever I see someone getting out over their skis on a foreign policy take I remember Caitlin Flanagan confusing Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khomeini and then claiming she was actually expressing a profound truth.

Worth remembering that the Cartel de los Soles, which the US accuses Maduro of running, likely doesn't exist as a specific entity. www.france24.com/en/live-news...

This is objectively untrue. Shutdown starts Jan 30. That doesn't change w/o Dem votes. Nor any non-reconciliation legislation. Also other kinds of obstruction and forcing votes. The minority party is not completely powerless, esp. in the Senate. If they pretend to be, that is a choice, not reality.

Emergency cat post of Mr. Handsome snuggled comfortably in my open desk drawer

Guys, please actually read the article about back-channels that people are posting. The story isn't that Maduro's people stabbed him in the back; they didn't. The story is that we killed at least 80 people to capture someone who was offering to vanish.

This story details that the teen they detained for six months was just about to graduate high school early at the age of 16. Definitely the kind of irredeemable criminal monster we don’t want in America.

👇🎯 This propagates the lies & legitimizes the illegitimacy. Media outlets either need to get staff with knowledge of history & foreign policy (& the law) to push back/vet in real time or stop hosting Trump admin officials live on the air & stop quoting them in standalone block quotes in print.

From yesterday, but if you haven't called yet, please do it tonight. Leave a message. Just call.

Scorpio: That pattern you've been noticing is real and it's the key to understanding everything. Of course you'll need to gather a lot more data, so it's imperative that you neglect all relationships and responsibilities. You must focus on the pattern.

2025 was mostly garbage, but there were some good moments. One of my favorites was when a family of beavers built a dam in just a few days, saving the Czech Republic 30 million Czech koruna (US$1.2 million) for a wetland restoration project the government had been planning for 7 years. 🦫 🌿

So. Look. I don’t know if now is the moment. But I wrote about the rise of the Reich. And about resistance, and history, and what we did then to keep ourselves together. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

There will not be a monolithic response from Venezuelans. Why would there be? Folks can acknowledge this while still speaking to the illegal regime change led by the fascist regime here in the U.S.

This is incredibly worth reading in light of what is happening now and the basis on which Trump and Rubio are pursuing charges against Maduro.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), run by Oz and his boss, RFK Jr., will no longer require physicians to report vaccination rates. Instead, they plan to start having doctors report if they’ve discussed “alternative” vaccine schedules.

Pedantic addition to this excellent 🧵: not all int’l law is automatically US law, & POTUS has (domestic) legal authority to violate some int’l law, including UN charter prohibition on use of force. This isn’t without controversy, but is view of most admins & damn near sure it will be view of 47th.

Everyone should be calling Schumer as the Baileys at this point

Ok it's 2am here and I'm exhausted after a long day, but I wanted to make one last update for the night: We've raised $1,918 of the $2,500 needed to unlock all the matching and hit our goal!! 🥳 This puts us at the 75% mark. Let's do one last push to get it to 💯 in the first 24 hours of the war?

They are the weirdos, the creepers, the groomers, for all their attempts to blame queers and feminists. Do not humor them. Do not take them at their word in good faith.

Tennessee has quietly expanded its role in immigration enforcement. More than 40 counties now partner with ICE under the 287(g) program; up from 11 six months ago and backed by new state grants. fox17.com/news/local/m...

If @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the new Office of Mass Engagement want to protect our neighbors from ICE and our residents from inequitable price gouging driven by surveillance technologies, supporting bills like this one is essential.
