The Supreme Court's Republican appointees sound ready to transform the 14th and 15th Amendments into a weapon against the very racial minorities they were meant to protect—handing Republicans 15-19 additional House seats in the process. A disaster for democracy. slate.com/news-and-pol...

This is worth keeping an eye on. CMS runs Medicare and Medicaid and it changed a hospital’s designation and forced it out of business. In the weeds but there could be a strategy here that gets a lot of people killed 1/20 🧵 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NEW — Rod Johnson will never forget federal agents zip-tying his hands behind his back. The night of the South Shore raid in Chicago, Johnson said he was detained for two hours. “I’m an American citizen with no warrants,” Johnson said. thetriibe.com/2025/10/sout...

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat. Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

values I thought were Jewish but now I think are just values: justice, kindness, empathy, humility, curiosity, self reflection, the pursuit of knowledge, standing up for what you believe, standing up for others, being true to yourself (aka being a p'nimi), being a giver (if you know A teach A)

not for long lol www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Good analysis that doesn't over rely on age

Chaos again, feds tackling protesters at random. They just detained @peoplesfabric.com.

This Stephen Miran speech is absolutely nuts

nicely said www.metrotimes.com/topic/views-...

Journalism writ large should be encouraging grassroots free speech and fighting intimidation everywhere they can. We need toolkits/resources for random online folks targeted for free speech. This isn't just about career journalists anymore. Does anything like this exist?

I literally ran all the way to Roosevelt Island this Sunday and somehow missed the Ai Weiwei exhibit ㅠㅠㅠㅠ www.archpaper.com/2025/09/ai-w...

I love this idea

"soon" is one word that is really different in the languages I know: באלד (bald) עוד מעט (od me'at) 곧 (kot) pronto soon It's interesting that Hebrew doesn't have an independent word, the one I used means ~"more little"

This is so so gross I can't

1/ A woman with dementia moves into an apartment in Colorado. A few months later she passes away unexpectedly. The family gets a bill for $4140. By dying, she “broke her lease early” A landlord gone rogue? No. It was a billionaire property management company called Greystar.

My understanding of the world is entirely dependent on whether or not I checked Bluesky that day.

Photojournalist Bill Biggart died when the second tower collapsed on him on 9/11, but the film he shot that day and his flash card were recovered from the debris and developed, along with his flash card. You can see his amazing photos of 9/11, the last photos he took while alive, here:

🔥 “How much does it cost for fascism? How much does taxpayers have to pay for a fascist country?” Nebraska Republican @USRepMikeFlood gets the raucous reception he deserves at a town hall.
