Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

They were never defending freedom of speech. They were defending a right to monologue. The former cannot coexist with the latter.

It’s great that 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi is coming right out swinging. Not having a second of this bullshit! I think coddled hacks like Bari Weiss have no idea what to do with righteous fury like this except, if anything, somehow play victim. Let’s see!

We have a key election in the United States in 2026. The richest man on earth is spending his time blasting garbage conspiracy theories about the 2020 election — which have been universally thrown out of court — to tens of millions of the gullible. Ask yourself what he’s preparing them for.

Mitt Romney arguing that you should tax the rich more in a piece that mostly makes the case for means testing Social Security is actually the most Mitt Romney thing imaginable

It's Day 19 of the ICE occupation of MSP. Today thousands of Minnesotans poured onto Lake Street to rally in support of our immigrant neighbors and against ICE. Take a moment to look at this crowd of you and your neighbors rallying in below zero windchill. 📸 @roblevine82.bsky.social

Today I joined patriots at the Kennedy Center to make clear that Trump’s desecration of the Center will not stand. It’s not a matter of whether, but of when, his name will come down. We will not allow him to despoil what belongs to the American people.

Please also cc all any and all of your complaints to Yale Law School. This is the America their graduates have built.

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

So basically this has been in the works for a while but they announced it just as they're ready to execute. Like tearing down the East Wing. What other illegal construction has he planned?

AI is pretty much a mansplainer you can’t escape from.

This guy was just confirmed to be US ambassador to South Africa

NEW: A Texas district in which Black students were allegedly taunted with monkey noises. An Arizona school where students admitted saying “slavery is good.” These are some of the incidents Trump’s Education Department has ignored:

Noem is using the Brown University shooter to end an entire visa program, but it should be noted that Pete Hegseth, just today, murdered more than twice as many people

There will come a time when people of good faith are empowered to uphold the law. When that time comes, Illinois will have the testimony and records needed to pursue justice to its fullest extent. The truth of what Trump and his masked agents are doing in Chicago will be told.

BREAKING on MS NOW: Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

Urgent update. Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures. Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

It’s quarter finals time. Get in your votes!

However horrified you are at Trump’s advocacy for murder and domestic violence “in his name,” you are not horrified enough #RemoveTrump

These women could instead blame unbridled capitalism as they attempt to distance themselves from a lifetime of overwork and redefine what is possible. Join a union, ladies. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/s...

An absolute bedrock institution for understanding how the planet works, just civilization-scaled vandalism by the most incurious morons on Earth

NEW: When the Trump administration took away her family’s food this summer, Rose Natabo had to choose which of her three sons to care for — who ate and who didn’t. By Brett Murphy & @annamaria.bsky.social, photography by Brian Otieno

I wonder who’s using all this fentanyl🤔 If the leaders of the white community would just focus on their culture & stop playing the victim instead of asking the govt to solve all their problems, we wouldn’t have to keep asking: When will Trump release the Epstein Files?

Another way to restart the world’s idea machine is to restore funding and grants to universities, researchers, and artists.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

I shouldn’t have to share this article as much as I do. Sending condolences to all friends and family and loved ones from the Brown Shooting today. www.newsweek.com/2025/07/18/f...

Last week, the New School issued voluntary separation & early retirement offers to 40% of the full-time faculty & the majority of non-union staff. These cuts to the bone are an ideological attempt to decimate historic spaces of critical inquiry & social justice. Share our statement tr.ee/qQBIDCpIuj

This is college in the United States. Video from inside a Brown University building shows the moment that police found a group of students who were sheltering after the shooting on campus. This isn't freedom.

This has popped up on my feed again so your occasional reminder that, if your business cannot turn a profit when acting within the law, you don’t have a legitimate business

This!

So happy that Bernie is on the AI case.

I keep thinking about how terrible it is that so many people will be losing their health insurance in January due to costs and cuts. I was rejected from insurance once before the ACA [preexisting conditions]. I was hospitalized that year and it almost bankrupted me. We need universal heathcare ASAP.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors. The full requirements will end tourism in the United States. Below is the full, mind-blowing list. 🚨THEY. WANT. YOUR. DNA.🚨 1/

Tried and convicted degenerates now demanding tax payer bonanzas for storming the capitol building

Thinking of that time when my dad, himself a doctor, was thrown by a horse on a trail ride. Punctured his spleen, internal bleeding, got him to an ER just in time. He lived another 20 years. With two hours delay, probably wouldn't have. We rushed to *nearest* ER. Not comparison-shop for ER prices.

they are on a mission to enshittify the world's information ecosystem. these are the actions of despots, weaklings attempting to amass power through epistemic collapse

If you want a primer on the Network State, I spent some time with a group hoping to make one this summer: www.wired.com/story/tech-b...

America is about to lose billions in lost business and travel from our allies. MAGA. White supremacy remains undefeated in being self-destructive.

They are not “skeptics,” they are extremist science deniers who think that some children deserve to die

“She has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours.” Her crime: witnessing ICE, from a distance.

Today, we are publishing our World Inequality Report, which reviews the most recent #inequalitydata and exposes the magnitude of #inequality across time, space and all its dimensions. 👇Share this thread, share the report! www.youtube.com/watch?v=R67u...

Part of Lectures on Tap, an event series that turns bars and venues into makeshift classrooms. Attendees hear thought-provoking talks from experts on wide-ranging topics. Tickets sell out "within less than an hour". Would love to a revival if "communiversities" fostering liberatory education.

‘You have a personal shopper, you have a butler, you have a personal assistant, you have your home manager.’ Surveillance and mental offloading aside, why are these people so obsessed with servants? Oh right.

Today, journalist Jimmy Lai should be home celebrating his birthday with family. Instead, this brave free speech and democracy advocate languishes in prison. The world demands Jimmy Lai be released and his sham charges dropped.

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. The USDA didn’t test the theory after a disastrous Midwestern outbreak. Here’s how we did. By @natlash.bsky.social

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government. Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.

Right wingers are creating a white supremacist international.
