It's big Trump protest day so that means we are mere hours away from my least favorite Bluesky: the Russian disinfo surge. Here's how it works, and what you can do about it. 🧵

Protesters formed a human banner Saturday morning at S.F.'s Ocean Beach, spelling out “NO KINGS” and “YES ON 50,” encouraging the passage of a measure on the November ballot to redraw California’s congressional districts in response to Texas’ GOP-focused remapping. 📸: Laure Andrillon / AFP

Looks like I won't be tuning in for a few days to @msnbc.com BAD choice to air the "Charlie Kirk" Memorial. It doesn't have a Goddamned thing to do with Charlie Kirk. It's a MAGA Rally. Stick it in your ass.

Does anybody truly believe that Tom Homan's $50,000 payday was a one-off? (Presumably the FBI didn't, or why would they have launched their investigation?) I hope investigative journalists and others with the ability to dig into his whole range of activities will pick up the torch

Hitler didn't start with death camps. He began with Making Germany Great Again, demonizing immigrants, targeting the press, blaming educators, defunding the arts, and stoking fears of outsiders. This is why we're waving our arms and screaming at y'all to STOP!🛑

An open endorsement of hate - precisely what you do not want the President to do after an assassination when messages from leaders disavowing violence are especially important www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/u...

The burial of the Homan case — 50 k in cash in a cava bag??!!—would be strange and troubling even in a department of justice that enjoyed a presumption of regularity. In this department, which has lost that presumption, it stinks to high heaven and requires investigation.

TIRED OF WINNING? You're in luck! Trump decided to charge $100k for H1B Visas which will suck away all of the international talent from the US & send it straight to our adversaries. The panic created by this policy that'll destroy our future put people & companies in absolute chaos this weekend!

@simonmaechling.bsky.social #medsky Physicians is past time to speak.

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

Weird some scicomm accounts gave the new “Tylenol in pregnancy & autism” review some weight. They don’t know the lead author, Baccarelli, had the exact claims thrown out of federal court for having ZERO scientific merit, when he was a paid “expert witness” in lawsuits against Tylenol makers. 1/

Every single person sent to CECOT was denied their 5th Amendment right to due process and their 8th Amendment right not to be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment. Every single person involved in denying these rights must be removed from their job and criminally prosecuted.

(1/2) Trump's immigration policies are threatening access to long-term health services. Health Aides like Marcia should be able to focus on providing care without fear of deportation. www.cbsnews.com/video/advocates-warn-immigration-changes-could-worsen-health-care-aide-shortage/

BREAKING: The Charlie's Murderers doxxing website was just hacked and has been taken offline. I spoke to the hacker on the condition of anonymity. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...

Here’s the problem about the whole “NASA found life on Mars” thing-they didn’t! 🧪🔭 What they found were some very interesting mineral deposits that could be a potential biosignature, caused by microbes at some point in Mars’ past. That is an amazing discovery! But… (1/n)

And his family’s love of guns enabled his marksmanship.👇

Why didn’t anyone immediately follow up with “what’s the population of the United States?”

The Dept of Education is now accepting comments on a proposed rule that would overhaul Public Service Loan Forgiveness, and make it too expensive for students to go into work that threatens the Trump administration Folks have til *Sept. 17* to oppose the changes ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

Even if we assume it comes with good intentions, I fail to see how this relentless push to obscure the fundamental asymmetry of American politics by abstract equivocation and empty “both sides” rhetoric could possibly lead this country to a better place. We need to face reality.

cool, ed martin (whose path to be us atty for dc was blocked and who now ostensibly runs doj's "weaponization" probe) is hanging out with alex jones

JUST IN: Maurene Comey sues DOJ over her abrupt firing as a top prosecutor in SDNY, seeks reinstatement. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Agreed. As Gov Cox made clear, thanks in this case should go to Robinson's minister and his father, who took him to the station so he could turn himself in. It's unseemly for Patel to claim credit for something he played not the remotest role in. The Mormon social network made this happen.

Stand up and fight hard for democracy! In court. In the media. In peaceful protests. Together we must use our voices and our platforms to protect the constitutional rights of everyone, the rule of law in all circumstances, and free and fair elections in 2026.

You can blame whoever you want before there's any evidence. And then if you're completely shameless and acting in bad faith, you can just move on without ever acknowledging you got it wrong. And a certain percentage of people are going to continue to believe it was a left wing trans person anyway.

Has the WSJ apologized yet? Too soon for this?

1/10 So the fake claims of "trans" and "antifa" symbols comes from both ammo stamps and casing inscriptions wrongly reported. They try to paint Tyler as left, but like Crooks this is a fringe right wing Groyper. Here's the details on registered Republican, Tyler Robinson: x.com/adamscochra...

Here’s the problem: Thoughtful and well-reasoned pleas to lower the temperature and unify against political violence will be algorithmically suppressed because they do not generate enough monetizable “engagement”... 🧵

This is how all Democrats should respond

Ghislaine Maxwell planting fake Trump letters in books decades ahead of schedule makes her less of a socialite and more of a Bond villain with a serious time machine.

So you're a reporter, and you spend months working on a huge story about JP Morgan and Epstein, and everyone's talking about it. That's gotta feel great. The BOB FUCKING WOODWARD goes on MSNBC and calls it a "masterpiece!" Does it get any better?

Korea Herald editorial: "Three South Korean battery companies are constructing plants at 10 US locations. Their combined investments amount to $43 billion. If it remains difficult for employees to travel to the US ... investment plans will be frozen or put off." www.koreaherald.com/article/1057...

History is watching. Will we be the generation that let democracy die, or the one that saved it? This is our choice. This is our legacy. Vote YES on 50. #yeson50

The abject cruelty, the displays of violence, the abusive language, the reveling in human suffering, the decimation of reality, the blatant corruption and crimes, the shredding of the safety net It's all meant to shift how we perceive the world and normalize authoritarianism and erase human dignity

Full stop.

The thought that woke me up this morning was that the Confederate States of America was a whole country founded on the idea that people could own other people as property. Full stop.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

It’s time to get this done.

Trump now threatening to use military to destroy Chicago to send a message. This was never about crime. Trump is a Traitor. MAGA is the new Confederacy-at what point do Blue states need need to mobilize their National Guard to repel a Trump invasion? www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

🧵This should be on the front page of every print media. If Ms. Kennedy was really heard, respected & it meant something important, we wouldn’t be on the verge of killing our own people. Spread this, print it & pass it along. The media must do their jobs & force the hands of the Senators & Trump. ⬇️

Nice schadenfreude here, Reuters dug up Bill Pulte's father & stepmother claiming two houses as their primary residence, and when Reuters asked Michigan about it, Michigan yanked their homestead exemption.
