the nuzzi story is fun and all but at the center of it is the elevation of a man who has dedicated his life to making children catch preventable diseases to a position where he can enact harm at enormous scale

Yet another death due to a woman's pain being dismissed by a medical institution, even one of their own.

We need to stop protecting predators.

BREAKING: “While the President may enjoy absolute immunity courtesy of his rogue Supreme Court, those who operate under his orders do not. Our state & local authorities may arrest federal agents if they break California law — and if they are convicted, the President cannot pardon them.” NANCY PELOSI

HEY DONALD “Where do I go to report an immigrant who was working here illegally before obtaining a fraudulent visa, had an anchor baby, brought her family here through chain migration, and who’s currently living in government-funded housing and receiving free health care?” RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

“Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts. Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.” ~ Robert Reich ➡️ Epstein 👀

CHALLENGES FOR DISABLED FOLKS: Often, it gets hectic during the holidays. Many of us forget that there are folks with disabilities, some of which are hidden. Please be kind and respectful… I like this U.K. bumper sticker: “I don’t look disabled? You don’t look like a twat. But there you go.” :-)}

TRUMP’S “…constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong…With such a people, you can do whatever you want.” ~Hannah Arendt

"He’s scared. He’s old. He’s in terrible health. He’s mentally unfit. He’s weak. He’s being laughed at by world leaders. He can’t finish a sentence. He’s tired alll the time. He falls asleep a lot during briefings. He can’t remember basic facts.” ➡️ It’s time for Article 25 or Amendment 14(3) ⬅️

Breaking News: Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is going to require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals. The madrasa indoctrination is starting very early. (This post is a test.)

pig-like he whines

Yn a free society, universitye-level studye of the artes and humanityes sholde not be avaylable onlye to the wealthye and privileged.

the bricks are alive at this day to testify it; therefore deny it not.

I didn't see anything

No, just NO. Conway is anti-Trump, sure, BUT... He doesn't even live in the district (Or anywhere in NY, for that matter) and he is an anti-choicer Federalist Society type. STOP. THIS. NOW.

SCOOP — A former staffer for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Natalie Green, 26, was charged today for falsely reporting she was attacked by 3 men who wrote "TRUMP WHORE" on her stomach bc of her job. It was staged by her + a friend. Van Drew isn't named in the complaint but I've confirmed w/ his office.

Pam Bondi is going to Hell.

Bizarre that their new motto, fuck our minority customers, isn’t juicing sales

Trump's history with the Saudi Prince goes way deeper than you think I discuss on Legal Fight Club w/ @karenattiah.bsky.social👇 - TN

It's hard out there for a lickspittle.

Despite stark findings, World Health Organization says violence against women and girls is 'a deeply neglected crisis'.

DHS beat, tackled, shackled, cut, and bruised US citizen Arturo Hermosillo in June. His hands turned blue. They stuffed him in a van and drove him to a station. Yet the agents told him that he was never "arrested," just "detained," ICE's new get-out-of-jail-free word.

Washington State farm workers are harvesting Pink Lady apples. This variety is harder to harvest than most because it has to be 90% red when they cut it I must cut the stem off of each apple. They get paid $35 per box and harvest 4 to 6 boxes in 8 hrs. #WeFeedYou

hoot hoot hooray

Hi everyone! I don't want to take up a lot of your time, however: believe it or not, soon it'll be SIX years since the BadMedicalTakes Twitter account started. I was really hesitant about this next part, so I'll just say it -I've started a Ko-Fi tip jar for BadMedicalTakes: ko-fi.com/badmedicalta...

Abortion bans have killed another woman in Texas. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Rabbits reabsorb embryos in times of stress.

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Again, it is unbelievable that this man is permitted to walk free after causing the deaths of potentially millions of people. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/u...

I am fortunate that all the men in my life have been like the first three, but I've met plenty of the other kind too. None of us have to put up with this.

Does anyone have a list of the reporters that were in that gaggle where he said, "Quiet, Piggy"? You know, the ones who refused to support their colleague? I'd like to know who they are because they should be named and shamed.

NEW: a contractor is paying random people $300 to physically track immigrants for ICE. They're given addresses, vehicles, told to monitor the target. That information then goes back up to ICE. These are not licensed private investigators; members of the public www.404media.co/contractor-p...

Feed cleanser.

A tech reporter on tiktok just tried the exact questions that Microsoft showed in its Copilot commercial, and given unlimited tries, it could not actually answer any of them. Not a single one

Rather than prosecute the two survivors of a deadly US strike on suspected drug runners in the Caribbean Sea Trump said he will repatriate them. This is literally a confession that Trump murdered innocent people and has no evidence to prosecute the two survivors. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

I think the word you’re looking for is “kept”

The sight of Mohammed bin Salman sitting in the Oval Office should make all Americans want to vomit. It sure does for me.

Listen…If y’all want to talk honesty, then let’s be honest about all of it. The promises, the hypocrisy, the receipts. Because what you campaigned on and what you’re doing? Two very different things.

Swalwell: Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourselves with this room. Get to know that witness chair — you’re going to be parked in it for a long time. Accountability is coming.

Seems like a good day to revisit why I chose this screen name a little over seven years ago. A 🧵 It was about a week after Jamal Khashoggi was murdered, and the first time (that I know of) that Trump was asked about it.

New — I wrote about the myriad ways journalism’s moral rot manifests, and how our crumbling institutions have created the conditions for it to fester:

ICE never left L.A. The military did but they aren't the ones terrorizing the city. Please don't ignore L.A.

In a sense, police violence is as American as apple pie/foundational to the entire project anyway In another sense, yes they are actively doing as much horrible shit as quickly as possible in broad daylight so you become numb to it faster than you can catch your breath

The rapid normalization of the violence is the point
