This is the clearest admission I've seen for what I've said all along: The entire conservative movement is animated by a fever-dream to return to the white privilege levels of 1950.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

The MAGA/MAHA administration is torturing kids & building more & more concentration camps to lock up & torture more kids It is a horrific, sickening, repulsive irony that the first MAHA report, coauthored by folks like Drs Makary & Bhattacharya, was called Make Our Children Healthy Again

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Ted Lieu: “Were there any underage girls at that party or any party that Trump attended with Epstein” Pam Bondi: “There is no evidence that Trump has committed a crime” Ted Lieu: “I believe you just lied under oath”

So DOD risked civilian airspace to obliterate some fucking balloons; when FAA found out and asked them to stop they refused; FAA did what it had to keep people safe; when the public rightly freaked out, DOD relented, lied, and blamed the FAA. Sounds like Hegseth! www.cnn.com/2026/02/11/u...

The explanation of a 10-day anti-drone test is such obvious bullshit that I can’t believe self-respecting military reporters are publishing it.

Incredible.

I mean, did anyone actually think Douthat had any journalistic integrity to start with?

Yet *another* vaccine webinar with @healthjournalism.org?! YUP! If Kennedy would stop trying to destroy the U.S. #vaccine infrastructure, we'd move on. Alas, we must explain how he's trying to dismantle the system w the vaccine injury program. JOIN US Feb 12! healthjournalism.org/event/vaccin...

Holy fucking shit every person must watch this right now

Hi, I’m Ken, and I am here to tell you things you won’t like. It’s my job. I sympathize with Julie Le and am on her side in general but she went about it the wrong way. /1

no comment could possibly be adequate

And yet there were Dems who voted to confirm them…

The Washington Post dies in broad daylight.

The guy who owns Amazon shutting down the books section of the Washington Post is beyond parody

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Sigh There are so many gullible reporters (aka stenographers) who have no expertise in the longstanding antics of the anti-vaccine lobby Such reporters haven’t learned about Wakefield & the kooky unsubstantiated trope that vaccine *combinations* cause autism Such reporters need a different beat

The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota." Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota." This presser worked like a charm.

Really proud of New Mexico! www.koat.com/article/immi...

Crime headline of the day.

This is what a child sex predator looks like: The NYT identified more than 5,300 files with over 38,000 references to Trump, Melania and Mar-a-Lago. For the benefit of the pedophile president, the DOJ's protecting some of the most sinister, evil and wealthy pedophiles in history.

MAGA Adult Male assaults Texas High School students protesting ICE

And those federal judges see things like this and know it's just going to get worse - probably for another three effing years.

Fed judges are getting PISSED. The levels of overt anger we are seeing in opinions is not, I think, at all usual.

PJS: "ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence."

Whoa. D.Minn's chief judge Patrick Schiltz dockets a list of "96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases." www.courtlistener.com/docket/72120...

Interesting — and encouraging

QUESTION FOR PEDIATRICIANS & FAMILY DOCTORS: What are you finding most confusing about what shared clinical decision-making means when it comes to vaccines & the CDC switching some vaccines to it? Insurance? Liability? Etc. Looking for docs to talk to me for a story on this.

Don't forget to register to join us TOMORROW, JANUARY 28 at 1pm ET for this conversation! It will be nice (for a change) to discuss some accomplishments in public health and hope for the future in addition to how we can tackle current & future challenges. healthjournalism.org/event/a-conv...

This has been echoing in my mind ever since I read it. This guy literally can't conceive of buying a bunch of something and sharing it with other people. Shady entities coordinating the sharing from the shadows makes more sense to him. That's what being a conservative does to your brain.

The concept of a community that shares and cares for one another without ulterior motives or financial gain is so foreign to these people. It’s actually pretty sad. But also, fuck em.

There are a lot of men out there who do not see any of the logistics happening around them and they're like "wait, where the fuck did these hand warmers come from?" Look at every kid wearing mittens, and that's your answer. From the people who have been silently keeping hands warm for centuries.

I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.

It just cracks me up every single time when they're like "BUT HOW COULD ANYONE DO THIS???" Dude. My dude. I see you've never been part of the PTA when they realize they need $3000 for the senior field trip. And you've certainly never met Romancelandia.

Tho I will say, in his defense, he's not the first person to be confused by how quickly the romance authors & readers can whip up finely tuned logistics out of nothing. 😂

Now I want to know which CNN reporter or producer doesn't know the word "sycophant."

Yes, sorry everyone for not including the link first time around. Full @startribune.com story here: www.startribune.com/chris-madel-...

pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor: "Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

OMFG, Apple, stop messing w interface! This Liquid Glass bullshit is AWFUL! MAKE IT STOP! Yes, I’ve turned on “reduce transparency” & increased contrast & made the damn clock “solid,” but it’s not enough. The liquidity and delay is driving me fucking nuts. Just give us the option to turn it OFF!
