Tonight at 7: a conversation with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social about how to go beyond a rent freeze to long term affordability. Watch here: www.youtube.com/live/W7cc19q...

Just a reminder that, despite what these freaks would have you think, antivaxx is extremely unpopular and we need to attack them relentlessly for putting insane dipshittery over our health

REMINDER: Black women lost 319,000 jobs between February and July of this year, the only major female demographic to experience significant job losses during this five-month period. White men saw the largest job increase 一 365,001* 一 among groups * = added Jimmy Kimmel who got his job back! 😒

They pardoned Alaa! #FreeAlaa

We're all in shock. www.reuters.com/world/uk/egy...

It is a long running bipartisan position that ‘terror’ suspects can be killed without evidence or process and that ‘drugs’ are a major problem that require a military solution. Both wrong, but this is how we got here.

time for the @kenwhite.bsky.social Popehat signal?

The University Democrats at UT-Austin, a longstanding student group, has been told that no guests, candidates, or speakers can speak at their meetings unless the administration approves them. Submitted speakers' lists have been ignored or summarily denied. Please HMU if you know a good 1A attorney

It's like they made a clone of Goebbels but somehow the volume got stuck on "screeching banshee"

Apropos of nothing in particular, here's Walt Disney's testimony to HUAC in 1947, where he named employees he believed were communists, condemned labor unions, and accused "commie" groups, including the League of Women Voters, of smearing him. 🗃️ archive.org/details/walt...

Yeah, I had to try three sites to cancel Disney+ but the runaround only made me more determined to do it.

"I’m free today because of this advocacy,” Soliman said. “Don’t underestimate your voice."

Trump had his accounts suspended on January 7, 8, and 9th 2020. WHEN HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT. It was not Joe Biden because Biden was not President.

anyone have leads on resources for trans folks (esp youth, esp mental health/crisis support) specifically in or near Syracuse, NY? asking for my stepmom who is helping a friend mobilize a brigade of support for a struggling grandkid

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

Albert Einstein, referring to McCarthyism in a letter to his son in December 1954: "God’s own country becomes stranger and stranger, but somehow they manage to return to normality. Everything—even lunacy—is mass produced here. But everything goes out of fashion very quickly."

My grandmother was arrested by HUAC. She had dated the FBI agent's father in college and ruffled the boy agent's hair and mocked him. Dad has pictures with grandma in her striped suit. She never ratted out her country ladies "social" club.

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

To be clear, this is not about the Jews killing Charlie Kirk. It's about the Jews killing *Jesus*— the foundational story of anti-Semitism. There is, however, an explicit Jesus: Kirk analogy being drawn.

Tucker Carlson to the cultic mob whose leader pretends his bonfire of the universities is about protecting Jews: "I can just sort of picture the scene in a lamp-lit room with a bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus, thinking about, ‘What do we do about this guy telling the truth about us?’"

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves"

Our story about treatment delays and life-threatening incidents in ICE facilities is cited by ~30 US senators in a letter to Noem, urging her to "cease detaining pregnant, postpartum, and nursing women absent exceptional circumstances." www.cantwell.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Tom Homan took a bag of cash from an undercover FBI agent the right way. by Ezra Klein

here's an important thing about deterministic tools: when they fail, they fail predictably you can learn how to use them *for your own purposes* because they behave in consistent ways even if they aren't 100% optimal AI tools add a layer of ambiguity so you're 100% never sure what the output means

Another entry into the Continuum of Insidiousness Book of Measurements, alongside the "Scaramucci."

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

so trumpworld is going to nazify tiktok like they did twitter

Need a few more tens of thousands dead kids and another few hundred express declarations of intent from the Israeli government and military before we have all the evidence.

Israel has formally approved the E1 plan, a move that will split the West Bank and block any future Palestinian state.

Happy #Caturday (1970)

unfortunately, people that i really wish would take this and so many other posts like it to heart already have large social media platforms & apparently aren't interested. i'm sure they've already heard it. anyway, if you're thinking of starting a newsletter or sthg plz don't do it on substack

Scob the empire and give to the rebellion

Tom Homan is doing corruption the right way By Ezra Klein

this is the second impeachable offense worse than watergate that we have read about *today*

2. Do not give advice you haven't tried implementing yourself. Eat your own dog food. 3. Get feedback on your guide from your target audience before publication. 4. Incorporate that feedback. This is not an optional step.

There is a lot of demand for digital privacy and security advice out there right now and lots of people are giving advice and writing guides. I beg them to do a few things: 1. Be explicit about the threat model your advice is meant for.

The Lumen Festival in Waterloo did NOT disappoint tonight! Thank you to all of the amazing artists and volunteers who made this happen.

If you're a cable host interviewing Tom Homan, at the very least you need to ask him about accepting bribes to influence government contracts. Or -- hear me out -- you could wordlessly pull a thick envelope from your coat pocket and slide it to him across the table with a stage wink.

Hakeem and Schumer sending a letter to Trump requesting a meeting to discuss a path forward 8 months in to Trump's second administration shows they're not leaders. They're collaborators.

*opens TikTok one week from now* “Did you know Black people have an extra muscle for crime?!””

This is the essence of a corrupt, personalized, authoritarian regime: “Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.”

The people they are kidnapping are disappearing.

“Sally Rooney could be arrested as a terrorist supporter if she enters the UK” Like read that sentence over and over and reflect on the state of this country
