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.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

The tariffs are the least popular thing Trump is doing. It's a unilateral trillion-dollar tax hike on Americans that raises prices on items they buy every day.

you'd think the complete lobotomization of corporate oversight and the regulatory state in service to corrupt anti-democratic robber barons would be a bigger story, what with the parade of looming mass fatalities and avoidable suffering it will cause

A reminder that fashies don’t give a fuck about morality and they’re stoking outrage to get baby soft liberals to pander to them.

Everything about this headline is hilarious. And the YouTube views are a reflection of how wildly the right has overblown the number of people paying attention.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

Learning so much about Jose Canseco today. Previously the only thing I knew about him was that whoever did the subtitles for the Ninja Turtles movie had no idea who he was

there's always a John Waters quote, it seems

Trump had his accounts suspended on January 7, 8, and 9th 2020. WHEN HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT. It was not Joe Biden because Biden was not President.

FDR won 42 states in 1932, it wasn't by pandering to Hoover voters. Then Republicans called him a socialist for 4 years. Then he ran for reelection and won 46 states

geez good thing we’re only using it for health insurance claims, legal arguments, mortgage rates, teaching students, predicting crime, mental health care, automating government services, fact checking, and pointing out other AI

Fighting a decent Yasuo or Ekko is the opposite of fun. War criminal characters.

The only thing that negotiating with Trump accomplishes is creating the illusion that Trump can be negotiated with, and that any deal you make with him can be trusted.

Six Kirk stories on the NYT home page before you get to a silly little story about the President publicly demanding his political foes be charged with crimes.

Large anti corruption protests in the Philippines are underway. Triggered by deadly floods which exposed $2billion lost to corruption in flood defence projects some of which didn't exist at all. www.rappler.com/philippines/... And a familiar flag is being flown at the protests.

we're in a national crisis because everyone hates conservatives so much nobody will date them and their families refuse to talk to them; but also we're in a national crisis because our institutions are liberals who don't realize how out of touch they are with the overwhelmingly conservative public

We're at the point where the Trump does something worse than Watergate daily, often multiple times a day. And none of it makes news; it's just normal now.

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Post now deleted, more or less confirming it was a DM. Great opsec!

I'm not loving how every failed presidential candidate gets paid the entire budget of the publishing industry that year to write a book called I Learned Nothing

Nothing is more embarrassing going on right now than all the pundits who made their careers whining about cancel culture trying to explain how the fascism they helped usher in is really just the same thing on the other side ... if you squint just right.

Every day with your loved ones is important. Tomorrow is not promised.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

They're racists & they're fascists but above all they are the pettiest two-bit criminals you've ever seen

Testing a theory: reskeet if "every ICE agent will be unmasked and tried for their crimes" would get your vote

Describing insufficient evidence for prosecution as a "roadblock" is a VERY weird way to phrase things but then again, I'm not an editor at the NYT

probably the realest thing ive ever seen posted on that website

That last line is one of the absolute single scariest things to me and that it was said with such casual happiness is even more disturbing. Not distressing. Full tilt disturbing.

"We are going to have to live here with each other" is the exact premise that Republicans do not agree about. Their proposition is mass immiseration, mass expulsion and mass murder. The only way to oppose political violence and avoid further political violence is to contend directly with that fact.

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

Look, if we're getting rid of the First Amendment, apparently we're getting rid of all of it... (the proper response from journalists here is "fuck no" and if you lose your press pass, so fucking be it, and start working on building up your sources inside the pentagon to continue your reporting)

She was fired for going on an extremely racist rant that included the n-word. Like hard R and everything. We all remember this. Who does she think she's fooling with this shit?

forever and always, amen

Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."

One of the things that makes @unbreaking.org such a wildly different project is that we update our pages continuously. Our goal is to help you maintain a current handle on where things stand. Here's this week's 🧵 on the food safety front:

now the dutch are scoring on us

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition. www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...

this is completely false. the "unanimous" vote consisted of one person, Rick Scott, voting. The chamber was entirely empty except for him and Tommy Tuberville, & both of them had to be prompted as to how to execute the vote:

this is absolutely wild the court *sua sponte* dismisses the case for violating Rule 8(a) so that means the court, all on its own, looked at the complaint and said it's too long, too scattershot, too arbitrary to even count as a complaint. *never* seen this happen to a private party with counsel.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

This is going to kill babies and toddlers who would’ve otherwise survived and their blood is going to be directly on RFK and his plaguelusting posse’s hands

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. He is actively working on destroying the US's entire vaccine infrastructure. The HepB vote will be tomorrow, where they will get rid of the birth dose and recommend it at 30 days, dooming a bunch of infants to chronic infection ft. cirrhosis, cancer, and death.
