Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

“I’ve put out maybe 400 job applications in the last five months,” Kowalski said. “I’ve only gotten a handful of interviews. I think I’ve interviewed with six different places. It’s a really bleak situation.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

Stephen Miller wrote white Nationalism into U.S. policy. Who do you think his "army" is going to go after?

Can't the D's solidify on some basic messaging? At a minimum: * Republican “pro-life” laws kill women. * Republican “family values” block child tax credits, underfund childcare & Head Start, fight paid leave, and cut TANF. * Republican immigration policies are tearing apart families.

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.

ICE shot "projectiles, threw flash bang grenades, pepper-sprayed and deployed tear gas" at protesters. ICE detainee "said he was held in a cell with 150 other men, had his medication taken away and was not given regular food." #Illinois #USA #Healthcare #Incarceration #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

Note: the vast majority of parents vaccinate; but we need really high rates for herd immunity, so 75% is not enough to protect the community. Childhood vaccine rates are backsliding — and exemptions are getting easier www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... via @nbcnews.com @erikaedwards.bsky.social et al.

Phil took Saudi $$ to join LIV Golf, calling out their “horrible” human rights record (incl. Khashoggi’s murder) but chased the payday anyway!

Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT), speaking to ABC, references Jan 6 when discussing turmoil in Justice Dept “If you are a friend of the President, a loyalist to the President, you can get away with nearly anything… including beating the hell out of police officers”

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

A sexist, racist, homophobic podcaster is being idolized by MAGAs. This isn’t admiration—it’s rot.

The Biden-Harris admin deciding that shutting down anti-genocide speech was more worthwhile than shutting down the genocide itself helped lead us to Trump-Vance, which is shredding whatever was left of the “First Amendment” & mockingly revealing how hollow their allies’ commitments to it were

Workplace deaths keep rising. In Wisconsin alone, 112 workers were killed on the job in 2023—about 1 in 5 from “contact with objects and equipment,” the same category as Cherone’s death. #labor #safety www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Last week, Israel targeted and massacred 34 newspaper reporters in Yemen. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, it was the second deadliest attack on journalists ever recorded.

The decision to end the USDA data collection comes at a time when more Americans are struggling to get enough to eat. Food banks have seen requests for assistance from households rise over the past few years, driven by the end of pandemic aid programs and the impact of inflation on grocery prices.

One person familiar with the federal investigation told NBC News “thus far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect with any left-wing groups…Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive.”

A trans woman was left hospitalized after being viciously assaulted by multiple teenagers in a hate crime. Hate isn't born, it's taught and these kids are learning this from adults. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

J-1 visa workers report being injured on the job, sent to dangerous worksites, sexually harassed, and cheated out of wages—while sponsors dismiss or ignore their complaints. Cheap, exploitable #labor www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/n...

The idea of running anti-abortion Democrats is sickening to me. That means killing women! That is what that means!

The Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the US Department of Justice is RTing Andy Ngo, a right-wing troll who believes anti-fascists are the bad guys and Nazi's are good. x.com/HarmeetKDhil...

This OR GOP activist, who was indicted for his actions in DC on January 6, spoke at an anti-political-violence/Charlie Kirk vigil last night in a Portland suburb.

I truly don't understand how democratic leadership think they are going to move forward after voting to honor a white nationalist who essentially called Black women—the base of the party—stupid. It's insulting. I find it personally insulting.

Farm workers in upstate NY shared this pic with us from where they were doing the final thinning and pruning before the apple harvest begins in late September. They tell us, sometimes they walk 5+ miles a day moving up and down these rows pruning the trees. #WeFeedYou

Donald Trump and his administration used Charlie Kirk’s murder as an excuse to ramp up their ongoing campaign for total power, in their most authoritarian week yet. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

if I did not have my work I would lose my mind. I got to spend this week working on grants for an art exhibit on forest resilience and climate hope, a new opera about the horrors of Oregon’s Indian boarding schools, and a documentary film series by and about immigrants in Portland. it helps a little

DHS is literally using a social media post to defend body-slamming a Congressional candidate. x.com/DHSgov/statu...

I cannot emphasize enough how unhelpful it is to make the joke or comment — I’ve been guilty of making it at times myself — that this is conservative “cancel culture,” it’s not. It’s an authoritarian, cultish, censorship project run by the most powerful people in the federal government…

People keep "debunking" the claim that Charlie Kirk wanted to stone gay people to death but I'm pretty sure he meant it.

A few months back, someone told me Bush, Romney, Obama, Clinton, and a few others were just waiting for the right moment to act. Well… here we are.

In the wake of Trump’s declaration that Antifa is a domestic terror group open to RICO investigation, Oregon Republican activists are now singling out elected officials for scrutiny. This particular GOP activist just spent about a week in DC meeting with a range of high level officials.

ICE assaulting a congressional candidate just like feds have assaulted other elected officials.

The lawsuit says Tagle (the owner) spent 12+ years coercing employees into sex for jobs, groping them, demanding visits to his home for favors, and retaliating when they refused. www.king5.com/article/news...

This is who ICE picks up. A hard working dad of 7 children who just had surgery on his elbow. ICE (possibly bounty hunters) came in unmarked cars and wearing masks, smashed his car window and hurt him. #Portland www.gofundme.com/f/9k3ut8-hel...

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them. They want us all eradicated.

This is where all the disinformation, neverending hate mongering, and horseshit media inevitably leads. @lookoutnews.bsky.social is reporting that he falsely blamed the last five school shootings on transgender people.

RFK Jr. is objectively pro-disease, pro-illness and pro-child death.

A trans woman was murdered by a man who kept taunting her for not being a woman. This is exactly the kind of hate that has been incited by Matt Walsh, JK Rowling, and Chaya Raichik. They got exactly what they wanted, a dead trans person killed because of hate. wtop.com/dc/2025/09/d...

The reimbursements for transportation, meals and lodging, which the lawsuit characterizes as “kickbacks” paid by the workers to Chapa, effectively reduced their overtime wages to a level below the federally mandated minimum compensation. #immigration #labor iowacapitaldispatch.com/2025/09/18/m...
