Friendly reminder that all the shit that is going to hit the fan on Wednesday will be to distract from Ms. Giuffre's Epstein book.

ANTIFA in 2025

The most reckless, stupid administration E-V-E-R. Nothing comes close.

Is this my beautiful house? Is this my beautiful life?

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

An immigration agent to a protester who was filming their vehicle’s license plate: “You can record all you want. We change the plates out every day.”

In 1933, Adolf Hitler was legitimately made Chancellor of Germany. That doesn't mean that everything he did while in that office, like giving himself absolute power like a king, was legitimate, Meghan.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

This selfish, shallow Trump regime doesn't care about us. It only cares about itself.

Yesterday, the United States had its biggest protest in history. But when I look at the New York Times website, I discover that it never happened.

Rather than argue with me about what they want, I urge you to ask the white people who support Trump's immigration policies what they think about the negative net migration that it has achieved. Ask them what they think about DEI rollbacks. Ask them what they think about each item in this list:

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

Well, you can finally cross “I’ve seen a handcuffed, inflatable penis” off your bucket list

if you're in Alberta and you want your flu and covid shot in 2026 - yes you read that correctly - you have to preorder them right now. So here's the link. go do that. Just in case none of those people get removed from power by then. please repost this, as the province seems bent on killing us.

As No Kings wraps up, please remember the over 1,200 people who’ve gone missing from the Florida Everglades detention centre. That’s 1,200 people who may be dead. Who may be rotting in foreign prisons. Who may be in an ICE detention centre sick or suffering. We must demand accountability.

Can report back from the Charlotte No Kings that "free Palestine" is now, if not the normie lib position, then at least fully accepted among the normie libs. Lots of signs and flags scattered about, no apparent drama at all.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

We've been keeping track of all of the atrocities Trump has committed since he took office in January. To be clear, this is not humor or satire, but maybe sometime in the future, our relatives will see this, shake their heads, and think, "What a hilarious shitshow of a timeline."

It's always y'all cishet white men who'll never face the consequences of letting "voices from across the political spectrum." Easy for you to say we should let in "more voices" when you'll never face harassment, discrimination, and threats of violence from them for simply existing in public online.

Multiply that dining while Black, across all the aspects of life: going to school while Black. Driving while Black. Going to the ER while Black. Etc In the US, Black people have a better sense for how many white folk are anti-civil rights than white people, because we experience these interactions

It's that time again. For the next 24 hours, drop any infectious disease and/or vaccine-related questions below in response to this post, and I will do my best to answer them. Responses are for information only and are NOT medical advice. #AskAnIDDoc October 2025 edition.

Trump has functionally killed America's international broadcasting apparatus. Russia and China are making up the difference. if we still care about democracy and liberalism abroad, countries like Canada need to step up. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Greg Abbott is "running for an unprecedented fourth term on a record of schools in crisis, housing more expensive, groceries more expensive, electricity utility rates are up. This is a record of failure, and he owns it."

This is the thing I have the hardest time convincing people of even though the polls vindicate it: Mamdani's ability to distinguish himself from the rest of the pack early on with his position on Palestine necessarily entails a Democratic primary electorate receptive to his position in the 1st place

Ever wonder why so few athletes in North America have spoken about Israel's genocide in Gaza? We did too... so we asked some to find out. Answers include "fear of losing sponsorships," "the McCarthyist response from government,” and “Zionists gaslighting and doxxing people."

Cool! Don't know if you edit, too, but if not – even micro-edits matter & my recent post could get you started within a few minutes: absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/09/21/w...

Apart from donating to support Wikipedia, I'd recommend everyone download their app. You'd be surprised how many web searches end up leading right to Wikipedia. Instead of going through Google and all its ads and AI blegh, you can get straight to Wikipedia that way. Convenient and useful!

So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

amazing how you can write about culture professionally and still have no idea what’s going on in the world

Wait. WAIT. People are advising that if things get violent during the No Kings protest you should sit down and show the police you’re not a threat? Are you trying to get trampled or impede other people’s ability to safely remove themselves from the situation?! Cause that’s what you’re doing!

There are growing questions over the legality of U.S. strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. “These are sitting ducks, and we are simply engaged in cold-blooded murder of individuals who may or may not be drug smugglers,” says David Cole, professor at the Georgetown University Law Center.

The question of complicity in war crimes is not just for those individuals; it also implicates the Government of Canada for not enforcing the law against recruitment on behalf of a foreign military.

This should be a free article. M. Gessen on Francesca Albenese & International Law. Why we need #NoKings #Palestine #Nurenberg ........ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/o...

"They hung our bodies day and night, naked, abused and insulted us. They told us, 'We killed your children.'" "[B]eat him so severely in the head during interrogations that he lost his ability to see." "173 aid trucks since the ceasefire began." #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Incarceration #Genocide

Today, Treasury Sec. Bessent floated a $40B Argentina bailout. But, the White House's FY26 budget includes $18B in cuts to NIH, $5B cuts to each of NSF, NSF, EPA and CDC ($20B more) and $1.7B in cuts to NOAA, also a total of ~$40B. Seems like the executive branch has a different set of priorities.

"if Israel, with the whole world watching, can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, just imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors." @thunberggreta.bsky.social @swedenun.bsky.social @swedenineu.bsky.social www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/25...

Its even difficult to put into simple terms just how immensely, completely and beyond utterly wrong. The marketing experts trying to figure out how to market AI to people, found the opposite to be true.

I wrote about the legal authorities surrounding DND/CAF's intelligence activities here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

man he is so good at this

#BREAKING | Gaza's Health Ministry says bodies of Palestinians returned by Israel show signs of torture and burns, as a prisoners' group alleges possible organ theft and urges an international probe

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

And now NextStrain as well. Next up, will GISAID start charging open-source community tools to have access? That would completely shaft users who contributed to GISAID, where we never agreed to that and assumed GISAID would be good custodians of the data we contributed. They're not.

When fascists start talking about the “replacement rate”… it’s never a good sign. Roe has already fallen. Reproductive health rights are under siege. Birth control could very well be next. If you can stock up, now might be a good time. Don’t want kids, look into sterilization!

Imagine a Good Friday Agreement announced but without any Irish representation That’s what they’re calling Peace in the Middle East right now Would you conclude that a GFA would last in such conditions? No accountability = no end to the violence It’s nowhere near over

Yes I can enlighten you. When the Democrats do it, they do it quietly and don't brag about it. This kind of killing of Black & brown people is preferred over the loud and proud style of Trump. If it happens quietly, liberals and Democrats can pretend it's not happening & carefree enjoy brunch.
