Trump: "It's too much liquid. Too many different things are going into that baby at too big a number. The size of this thing when you look at it. It's like 80 different vaccines and beyond vaccines."

There are 9 specialist autism-focused health and education centres in Cuba 🙄

I strongly encourage anyone who agrees with this view to go through life trying to negotiate with sticks only, as an experiment. Let us know how that goes! We're getting a real time example of what that looks like in practice from the Trump Admin, and it's instructive!

THIS IS NOT A POPULAR ADMINISTRATION, IGNORE THE RADICALIZED IDIOTS ONLINE PROTEST, RESIST, ORGANIZE

Kimmel being unsacked in less than a week seems yet another canary going "oh man this coal mine is FULL of people who don't like that government"

Ah, I see, shadow docket *plus* rocket docket for whatever Trump needs. Reminder that the emoluments clause case filed by Maryland & DC started June 12, 2017 and then was stalled for so long that SCOTUS dismissed it in January 2021 without a decision because Trump losing made it moot.

"A bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus."

"it's too much liquid" going into the baby, instantly up there with the injecting bleach moment.

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

this is so fucking stupid

Unspeakable brutality. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/09/tran...

Free speech is genuinely precious, the “free speech” debate (“it should be illegal for libs to be mean to me”) was just about destigmatizing bigotry and confusing the issue so as to provide a pretext for actual state censorship

Trump: "It's so important to me to see the doctor four times or five times for a vaccine. Don't let them pump your baby up with the largest pile of stuff you've ever seen in your life going into the delicate little body of a baby."

Trump: "Hepatitis B again, that's sexually transmitted, and I think you should wait until12. You know, I'm making these statements from me. I'm not making them from these doctors ... I talk about a lot of common sense."

This man is very clearly experiencing significant cognitive decline, way worse than anything you can point to for Biden, and just fucking crickets

ICYMI: I published a thing today. Shanah Tovah everyone! May the coming year be better than the last.

taking less Tylenol because this household can't afford another Warhammer player

Not to be panglossian, lots of very bad things happening but I do think that the regime that can't keep Jimmy Fucking Kimmel down is not going to cast us into a thousand year reich of durable authoritarianism.

I do not regret to inform you we are going to win.

once again, Trump tried to go beyond the scale of established powers of the executive and it blew up in his face. he is most dangerous in doing the same stuff that Obama and Biden and his first administration did, just with malice and a lack of restraint.

vibes based presidency this fucking rules

god he's such a repugnant piece of shit

The correct answer is to put a series constitutional reforms to permanent curtail the powers of the presidency on the table, then viciously abuse the powers of the presidency until Republicans agree to curtailment measures.

neurodiversity is Good Actually. just want to say that

so much of what this administration is doing is based on creating the perception that he is inevitable and unstoppable and it’s not true and he can lose and it’s important that people see that because the only way he does win is if everyone gives up

regardless of the details I think it’s important to spin the Kimmel thing as a win Trump is weak, he’s unpopular, he massively overreached and inspired enough of a revolt that Disney had to backtrack immediately he wants to paint himself as an all-powerful dictator, paint him as a loser who sucks

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Shanah Tovah, New York City. Here's to a sweet and hopeful New Year.

Mamdani made the comments at Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms State Park on Roosevelt Island...picked the location to evoke President Roosevelt’s 1941 State of the Union address, in which he listed freedom of speech and expression as one of the fundamental “Four Freedoms” of American democracy.

I try to remember that while they were fighting the ban on gender affirming care for minors here, one of the (trans) lawyers did a thread reminding folks that they're really good at making this feel like an overwhelming groundswell, but it is one clown car of debunked experts on a road trip.

really wish I knew whose decision it was to have fireworks at his memorial service

Word

New: 404 Media is suing ICE. We have filed a lawsuit demanding ICE release its $2 million contract with Paragon, a company that makes powerful spyware to break into phones and read encrypted messages. This is expensive for a small outlet but this info is important www.404media.co/were-suing-i...

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

I cannot believe this still needs saying, but, and I say this as an autistic individual, vaccines do not cause autism. Whatever comes out of the White House is aimed specifically at undermining recognition and support for autistic individuals, and minimising our lives and experiences.

Miller needs to get sent to The Hague

Interesting angle here is that not only are they not standing up for NYC, which needs a strong and unified electeds to battle Trump. Dems outside NY see their NYC leadership doesn’t serve the national party, either. Answer: New leaders. www.thecity.nyc/2025/09/18/s...

they prefer christian nationalists to liberal jewry and they don't even keep it a secret

feel like @quoproquid.bsky.social's thoughts on Nixon are just as relevant to Trump II, tbh broke: Trump is Bush II woke: Trump is Nixon II

The first time Trump made the national news was 1973 when Richard Nixon's, (Richard Nixon's), justice department said he and his dad violated fair housing by having managers write C for colored on rental apps, so they would know not to rent to blacks or Latinos.

If anyone in the Democratic Party had a brain they’d be pulling out all the stops to spin up some offensive litigation to blow up or delay any sale. Everything Trump has done here is egregiously illegal, and TikTok has major US competitors who would surely like to see it die. What are you doing??

just formalizing a big part of Our Current Crisis, the utter collapse of Congress as an institution

One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

for instance, you can bribe a public official as long as you do it *after* they do something for you, not before. www.bakerlaw.com/insights/bri...

the fact that in multiple cases the Supreme Court has worked to legalize bribery in the United States is a major corrosion of our civil order
