This is awful.

Actual history teachers: um, no

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

True. I’ll always remember one person I met in rural Utah while I was working for a political campaign. He talked about all of his concerns about “ the big city” and the problems of crime, etc. Then he told us what big city he was talking about: Parowan, UT (pop. 3200 ).

"God is Change, And in the end, God prevails. But meanwhile… Kindness eases Change. Love quiets fear. And a sweet and powerful Positive obsession Blunts pain, Diverts rage, And engages each of us In the greatest, The most intense Of our chosen struggles" — Octavia E. Butler, 'Parable of the Sower'

Our family is keeping the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints community in Grand Blanc in our prayers, especially those close to the victims. Grateful for the first responders and emergency workers who acted with courage in face of such horror.

Heartbroken by news of yet another senseless act of violence this morning at a house of worship. No American should ever fear for their safety - least of all when gathering peacefully to pray - and yet tragedies like this have become frequent.

Every word of this. ❤️💔

Unspeakably awful. It’s nowhere near enough but prayers for all affected.

Accurate. This is, in essence, what all the shadow docket rulings are saying.

Somebody has to say it Boy, that escalatored quickly

Breaking: Trump's US envoy to Syria (also one of his few personal friends) apparently wholly unaware of what "Islam" means. This is stunning and in any normal world would be career ending for any diplomat in the Middle East.

"Outrageous incident" turns out, in fact, to be manufactured outrage by, checks notes, a right-wing individual. Twisted on so many levels, including the fact that people could have been hurt. The store had to close because of threats based on disinformation. blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/19/v...

OMG - the judge in Florida just sua sponte struck the complaint in the Trump v NYT case for -wait for it - violating Rule 8. Lawyers, tell the folks at home how hard it is to get the complaint struck outright for something like that in fed eral court. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A story no one is talking about - last week's high school shooting in Denver. 16-year-old white boy radicalized online and promoting white supremacist and anti-Semitic conspiracies, inspired by - and a fan of - terrorists who promoted replacement theory. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Holy crap. Are the Utah State Aggies actually… good? #AggiesAllTheWay

seems like—I know this sounds crazy, but let me just quickly throw it out there, on the remote chance there might be something to it—a pattern

This is just gross.

I appreciate what Spencer Cox is saying here. It’s all horrible and needs to stop.

Elected Democrats are doing the right thing here while we heard mostly crickets from the GOP when former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman was similarly assassinated.

Make it stop. This is all awful.

100 percent this. There is never a context in which a campus shooting is anything other than horrifying.

Awful. I’m not a fan of Kirk’s, but violence is not a legitimate way to express disagreement. Sincerely hope and pray he’ll be ok.

This is absolutely absurd. Spousal abuse is wrong and a crime. Period.

*80 percent* drop in mail to the US because Trump is taxing every single small package anyone might want to send someone here

it is always worth remembering that vance made a conscious decision to be a person of low character. he has eagerly contorted himself into evil for the sake of what amounts to a whiff of power.

Here's the thing to know about vaccines: They work on the population level far, far better than the individual level. A vaccinated person in an unvaccinated community is much more likely to get sick than an unvaccinated person in a vaccinated community. 1/

Just a terrible idea all the way around. One more reason for our family to avoid visiting Florida.

I really hope this becomes the black eye it deserves to be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.

"This isn't furniture, Mr. Customs official, it's a box of painted composite board, screws, two allen wrenches, and a lithograph depicting existential agony."

Actually, slavery WAS that bad.

Unbelievable. 🤦🏼‍♂️

"There's a critical difference between acknowledging a nation’s history and celebrating its worst moments. In Germany, they don’t erase their shameful Nazi past, but that doesn’t mean they’re erecting hagiographic statues commemorating war criminals."

A reminder yet again that the people who position themselves as the "defenders of women's sports" when attacking trans people actually hate women's sports and women athletes... especially Black women athletes...

Some news for my fellow Bluesky Jazz fans who may not be on Twitter.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely. Here's why.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
