1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

The circumcision notion is truly wild, because it completely fails to explain autism in girls while simultaneously suggesting that boys think with their penises.

In her judicial opinions engaging originalism, Justice Barrett has thoughtfully raised key questions about the challenges of implementing the methodology. In her non-judicial appearance on Fox yesterday, Barrett was decidedly less thoughtful when defending the Court's shadow docket behavior.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

It's always good to see priests who still remember there are *seven* Catholic social principles. Also, that noise you hear is the USCCB screeching to the Vatican and getting back nothing, lol

Sunday painting: “Mori Point”

“More than half of the work done by women in the period between the 16th and 18th centuries took place outside of the home, and around half of all housework and three-quarters of care work was conducted professionally for other households” [England] phys.org/news/2025-10...

"Prudent, temperate messaging disappears into the ether. It is one reason Mikie Sherrill, the cautiously centrist Democratic candidate for [NJ gov], is in an even remotely close race with a Republican who is running in part on bringing back plastic shopping bags." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/o...

Boston has passed measures restricting local cooperation with ICE, but critics say those aren’t enough to challenge the federal government’s demands. “There’s just so many other ways that collaboration is happening,” says an advocate.

It really feels like they’re trolling our autocrat.

If you really want to send Donald Trump into a RAGE, then make this idea go viral across America.

💯Today’s must-read

Should've used this photo

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

While we were sleeping: A federal judge in Oregon has blocked the Trump administration from deploying any federalized National Guard—Texas, California, the state’s own—in Oregon. That’s big news. Even bigger: She’s decided to hold a trial on the merits. That is: She’s putting people under oath.

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.

Novel idea: “If you believe you don’t have to abide by the law of Western Australia, then there is no way you can be considered a fit and proper person to be able to hold a licence to own and possess a firearm.” thenightly.com.au/australia/so...

It’s of note that during tonight’s hearing the DoJ didn’t even try to make the case that changing conditions on the ground in Portland warranted the CA National Guard. Instead they relied on legal technicalities. Proving again that what they say in court is different than lies they tell the public.

America is under threat but it isn’t dead yet.

I was talking about that today with a 104 year veteran of holocaust survivor.

Are yall ever just sitting around and out of the blue you remember — again — that all of this is because of ONE Black President?!! Just the one!!

“Democrats are depending on Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Hakeem Jeffries, two reasonable-seeming, compromise-oriented low-charisma legislators”. ‼️ This banger article by @mollyjongfast.bsky.social is worth clicking through to the NYT

More than seven years ago I wrote that we in America are going to need a South Africa style Commission. "In a step towards restorative justice, South Africa took the unusual step of forming the Truth and Reconciliation Commission." It is even more imperative today.

this is a GOOD speech

I am just so fucking proud of her.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens. They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

Upon hearing of Jane Goodall’s passing President Trump flung feces at his keeper Stephen Miller.

I have been critical of Kristoph's approach to Africa in the past, but this year, he has redeemed himself by regularly reporting details on the affects of Trump's inhumane cuts to development assistance. This is a great story that emphasizes the ways Africans are themselves addressing problems.

Dean: The president is unhinged Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals. Johnson: I didn’t see it. Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.
