About 90 seconds into his presentation on Covid-19 vaccine safety at a closely watched meeting of advisers to the US CDC last month, Dr. Bruce Carleton made a startling revelation: The government grant supporting his research had been abruptly terminated. https://cnn.it/4pZrSVi

are these stories about reading trump administration officials phones in public just a consequence of iphones having amazing cameras now or are these guys just particularly incompetent with opsec

all the love and solidarity to the good people of the los angeles, dc, Memphis, Portland, and Chicago areas A president of the United States is not allowed to use the US military as his play thing to deploy his gleeful vindictiveness against enemy populations, esp. not of American civilians. This…

‘Thunberg was “wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy.”’

There are lots of more glaring and physically brutal basic violations of rights going on but it’s weird how ICE just seems to be freely stealing and wrecking people’s possessions too

Imagine being such an incredibly huge, no life, no friends, ignorant loser that you spend this kind of money to troll minimum wage mall workers.

There’s no rule of journalistic neutrality that requires you to say something is “unclear” when that is objectively untrue. It would be illegal. There’s absolutely zero ambiguity about that fact. Saying it’s unclear is making a false statement in your reporting.

Oh dang. This is an excellent analogy.

Pritzker says the Trump admin is about to deploy the National Guard in Chicago.

I've been waiting on this one for a while now

Better headline: "Extremely Stupid People are Angry at Pope for Being Catholic".

Has Trump said anything about his former “spiritual leader”, Robert Morris, who was just sentenced to 6 months in prison for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl? Will the media even bother to ask him?

So is everyone going to Methuen Day just ignoring the building smack dab in the middle of downtown, a block from the police station, that was the site of a human trafficking bust this week? It's like RIGHT FUCKING THERE!

I’m pretty tired of hearing about protecting/defending “our culture” from immigrant Boers and a guy who started believing in some Appalachian volk because he came from a broken family. They should assimilate into our Yankee way of life.

“Once you actually start reading the studies, more of the statements in the press release start to fall apart, the experts said.” Great reporting by @greennoise.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Just talking about this recently given our state’s current shenanigans. I sincerely believe that this happened because of the business influencer consulting industry. Whole guide books out there about getting appointed to a university board to build your brand.

Red card know your rights cards can be printed from here, ordered from here (for free) or you can pay to have a union shop print them to you: www.ilrc.org/red-cards-ta... FOURTY-NINE languages available. (I know someone last night was asking about additional languages)

They’re torturing Greta Thunberg for trying to bring baby formula to starving babies and the world is doing nothing.

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

This story shows Trump administration officials: - Continuing to use Signal casually for sensitive discussions - Discussing sending the 82nd Airborne to Portland - Suggesting that Hegseth was reluctant to do so without Trump top cover

I was taught to expect the best from America. If it's not delivering, then it's my job to advocate for it doing better. Hers, too. Everyone's, even. Even Vance's!

Vance’s is a white guy whose entire political career was handed to him by billionaires — a career also fueled by the grievance that U.S. institutions conspire against white guys.

The U.S. is probably going to lose our elimination status for measles in 2026. Anyone tired of so much “winning”? MAHA is a toxic infection of the brain that spreads via social media and results in the rejection of scientific fact, followed by disease and death.

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

As I and others said in front of the Capitol last week: The Supreme Court is lawless, and it is shredding the US Constitution. The WSJ is as wrong as can be. John Roberts deserves no credit; he is presiding over no “triumph.” He is the worst chief justice in history.

“When Burton was hosting the show, there did not appear to be many people arguing against the idea of introducing children to books by authors of different colors, cultures, ethnicities and experiences.” My column at @msnbc.com www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

South Carolina is attempting to do what Louisiana couldn’t 3 years ago: make abortion a crime punishable by death. They are also introducing a bill that would ban birth control, force students to watch propaganda videos on it, restrict IVF, & make all info about abortion online & via phone illegal

This psycho really just went on camera and said that you have to be a US citizen to attend the Super Bowl or she'll arrest you

The reason this theory works is because most of our elites and leaders have no real views or opinions, but merely adopt those that they believe will earn them approval. And now they’re all seeking approval on the Internet, where everyone really is 12, or has the mental capacity of a 12-year-old

i think i would prefer it if bluesky leadership was honest with how much they loathe having a large social media app that they never wanted, spun it off into separate company, and then went back off to Protocol Land where they never have to think about the opinions of plebeians ever again.

Fox News reporter to Mike Johnson: "How can you say 'they take no pleasure in this,' and then the next minute say, 'Oh, they're just having fun and trolling?'"

Per @washingtonpost.com: New polling shows most U.S. Jews say Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza — and 39% say genocide. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Granderson: Anyone calling Bad Bunny un-American needs a geography lesson

"Squint & you start to get the picture that ICE belongs to a larger MAGA cultural project to imbue American life with a virility... What better way to make a state crackdown look like an American reclamation—a project of the anti-government party—than to have cops dress like an average guy w/a gun?"

Regime grabs immigration lawyer's phone at Logan www.universalhub.com/2025/regime-... #Boston #lawsuits

ICE says I cause assaults on ICE by reciting facts about ICE’s recent shooting but refuses to link to the thread. Only posting a picture. ICE lies and ICE hides. You can read the facts for yourselves

Kamala Harris warned us that Trump would turn the military against civilians. She warned us that he would pursue Project 2025. The media mocked her, but she was dead right about both.

A statute may "enshrine a tradition," but that is not the only thing it does. A statute codifies law, just the same as statutes criminalizing homicide and bank robbery, and it is just as "clear" that violating the statute is unlawful.

New from me: (Aside: The hardest thing about writing this piece was reconciling the horrible subject matter with the immense satisfaction that comes with correcting an arrogant dudesplainer.) open.substack.com/pub/radleyba...

The grand son of Nelson Mandela is among the hostages too!

I’m told ICE attacked us—despite us being off the street, courtesy of the state police—to create a spectacle because Kristi Noem was present today. Here’s some footage of her and her team on the roof of Broadview. Everything is content creation to these fascists.

I wrote something similar a while back about sovereign citizens claiming not to be U.S. citizens

I’ve also heard from multiple acting agents that private equity buyouts make their job unpleasant. The agency bloats into a blob of sports, digital, presenting, & talent to maximise ROI for the investors. Clear mission gets lost. New bosses don’t know anything about acting, just line go up

My new piece, up now @thenation.com: "If only trans activists had known what size check to cut for Chappelle, they could have shut him up years ago and saved themselves all the picketing at Netflix." www.thenation.com/article/cult...

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Finished a quilt today and I’m relaxing under it 🤗 That’s literally the best

So much to mourn here. ICE shot and killed a single father just after he has dropped his two kids off at daycare. Their justification for stopping him was traffic violations form 12 years ago. Their justification for shooting him was that he was driving away. A completely needless tragedy.
