Some exciting news: 404 Media just won a grant via Muckrock to investigate book bans and educational censorship in the U.S. The plan is to file hundreds of public records requests around the country and to report on and archive all the documents for public use: www.404media.co/help-us-inve...

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Our food system is broken. We produce enough to feed everyone, yet 3.7 BILLION people can't afford a healthy diet. Meanwhile, how we produce this food is pushing the planet to its limits. A new mega-study The Lancet reveals the shocking scale. 🧪 #foodstudies #nutrition #sustainability 🧵

Yeah, man, look at how reluctant he is to hurt federal workers. Here he is almost a year ago talking about how he wanted to "put them in trauma," but he's wiping away the tears now.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

"What kind of monsters grab children and take them outside without clothes? What kind of govt permits its agents to do this?..The answer can only be a fascist regime that has abandoned any moral code as it seeks to intimidate, stoke fear and do violence." www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-t...

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

For years we warned about this: The “Enabling Act of 1933”, which allowed Hitler to seize control of all branches of the German government, served as the template for “Project 2025” — and Trump’s DNA is all over it.

On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives. Today, in response, we brought our own graphs. We will not let his dangerous nonsense go unanswered.

It’s not just that this is puerile and lawless. It’s that it is completely out of touch with the issues relevant to contemporary warfare. Russia fights like this. It makes Russians criminals. But it doesn’t make them winners.

3) Ask why they're too weak to uphold their duty as a co-equal branch of government. Ask why Republicans have the WH and both Houses of Congress and are too weak to keep government running. Find the most public way you can do this: Xitter, Letter to Ed, call to office, a sign by their office.

HEY CORPORATE MEDIA, Say it with me. Your headline is REPUBLICAN CONGRESS FAILS TO FUND GOVERNMENT: SHUTDOWN IMMINENT Let me know if you need any help with this

Hegseth said yesterday he wants to ban any symbols of “superficial individual expression” by people serving in the military. Of course, he was probably talking about dangerous things like rainbows.

Officially a tyrant: Trump announced Saturday that he will send troops to Portland, Oregon, and to immigration detention facilities around the country, authorizing “Full Force, if necessary” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I’m telling you, there’s just not enough outrage about the craven actions of Speaker Mike Johnson.

This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

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

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

🔥 The world’s top climate scientists have found that global warming is accelerating. Oceans are rising faster than ever, and the 1.5°C target is slipping away, but there’s still a narrow path forward. #ClimateAction

Disgusted to hear just now that Israel launched a massive air and ground campaign to occupy Gaza City, following illegal strikes on Syria and Qatar. This kills civilians. This kills hostages. All paid for by your tax dollars. www.axios.com/2025/09/15/i...

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them. And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

“Health insurance costs in the United States are on track for their biggest jump in at least five years… “For the 24 million enrollees of Affordable Care Act insurance plans, costs are expected to rise by more than 75 percent next year…” www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Just an astonishing, powerful op-ed that drives home what we are losing and what's already been lost. We are so incredibly fortunate to live with the advances modern medicine and health science. Destroying and stymieing it is just unforgivable. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

It’s like traveling back 4.56 billion years to see our own Solar System forming.

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

Hello. The president's continued insistence that the BLS numbers are rigged, political, or otherwise manipulated is a lie. Please stop saying 'baseless claim.' Thank you.
