The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.

I don’t say things like this about judges often, but if you’re criticizing KBJ on appellate procedure, you better have some kind of qualifications beyond just being a poster

[Did Schumer write this himself?]

This right here.

"PROMISE OF A VOTE ON HEALTHCARE"

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

I called my senators before I left the house but now I can’t call Schumer - someone get on the phone for me.

Could someone else's imaginary friends please kidnap Chuck's imaginary friends the Bailey's and hold them hostage so Chuck can give in to the pretend people's pretend kidnappers and have a spine with the shutdown.

So for ~reasons~ I want to point out that although graduate students at the Paleontological Research Institution receive degrees through Cornell, PRI/THE MUSEUM OF THE EARTH ARE NOT A PART OF CORNELL Donating to PRI does not support Cornell, PRI hasnt ever been given monetary help from Cornell

Throwing away all your political capital after a historic off year election for a 1 year continuation of ACA funding is absolutely pathetic.

I say this as someone who had a great experience with Cornell: they must become a pariah for it. I know the faculty didn’t choose this but it has to cost admin in reputation & money. Every uni that falls makes the next admin feel like it is ok & normal. They are anathema to any good in academia now

Supreme Court justices can read electron results, too. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

THEY'RE PLAYING NOT LIKE US AT THE MAMDANI CAMPAIGN RALLY

What is happening NY it’s getting close again.

The fascists are not inevitable. They're not unstoppable. They're not all powerful. They want you to think that, but millions turned out last month to call their bluff. And millions turned out today to claim our power. We will win.

I yearn for a political party where not endorsing Mamdani while praising Dick Cheney gets you automatically booted out

"I know as much about it as you do" -- Mike Johnson

More people really need to understand/reckon with the fact that everyone working for and loyal to this administration is a mask off fascist, firmly believes any opposition to them is a "threat," and that it's their right and duty to suppress that opposition.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Yeah, that’s not a thing.

If only Pam had access to a DeLorean and a flux capacitor.

President Biden now has retroactively appointed four new Supreme Court justices…

A federal judge issues a GAG ORDER barring Trump's DOJ and Department of Homeland Security from violating Kilmar Abrego Garcia's right to a fair trial, citing a record of "troubling" statements that are "exaggerated if not simply inaccurate." Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Food insecurity is also likely to escalate disordered eating patterns among marginalized groups, as my first longform story was about how oppression factors into mainstream treatment for eating disorders, so this will cost BIPOC LGBTQIA+ disabled lives in particular: prismreports.org/2023/09/13/b...

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

personally I take great solace from trying to stick to a “if I die it’ll be with my teeth in their throats” kinda approach to life

The hearing on DOJ’s motion to dissolve/stay the second TRO in the Oregon case — covering deployment of any National Guard in Oregon — is beginning now. Call-in information is in here:

Liberals when candidates defend trans people: "We can't do this, it's too unpopular." Liberals when candidates have a nazi ss tattoo: "it's ok, not all candidates are perfect." Do y'all hear yourselves?!

AWS promises full restoration of services once enough people resubscribe to the Washington Post. #Satire

If you keep lowering your standards to “win” against the other side, eventually you’ll just be on the other side

"US Marshal shot during immigration enforcement in LA" * article explains he was shot by an ICE officer whose weapon discharged when he used it to smash a car window

Fenway Health just sent this message to all of their patients. They are lying to their patients telling them that cessation of gender affirming care to trans youth was due to a change in federal regulations. This is a lie. No such change was made to regulations. This was Fenway complying in advance.

Welp. gothamist.com/news/federal...

By the way - everything I ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know.

I HEREBY REVOKE FACEBOOKS PERMISSION TO USE MY POSTS

18 Oct 2025 -- Pop star/singer Sabrina Carpenter will now use her arena tour to funnel proceeds through the Sabrina Carpenter Fund to benefit the Transgender Law Center. Good on ya' SC! @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

What's up Bluesky, this is the Department of State and we're here to post some Hatch Act violations

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.

block em all at once bsky.app/profile/did:...

There seems to be a concerted, coordinated effort from the White House and various governmental agencies to join Bluesky en masse prior to the "No Kings" protest and flood the zone. A reminder that the Trump admin is monitoring social media platforms to find excuses to revoke visas:

@brycetetraeder.bsky.social @theonion.com @globaltetrahedron.bsky.social, in a time when it is increasingly difficult to write satire given ~the world~ wouldn't the most ironic thing be supporting a 100 year old research org and science museum in a time of crisis? www.science.org/content/arti...

I have plenty of issues with the text-based stuff but I think it does have some actual use cases AI video generation is pretty much entirely a net negative, this is barely scraping the tip of the iceberg in terms of the damage this shit will do
