"Renee was brutally killed in her vehicle by an ICE agent, leaving behind a child." What the absolute fuck.

When historians attempt to analyse the wreckage of American democracy, they'll see Jan 6 as the moment that the brakes failed. It's clear that, in the days that followed, many tried to bring Trump's wreckless momentum to a halt, but when they hit the pedal, there was nothing there.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

maybe somewhere in between farcical and completely insane

The story of CO2 is the story of everything – cautionary tales and calls to action from @peterbrannen.bsky.social and @billmckibben.bsky.social

“She needs to take her job a little bit more seriously,” he said.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

Such things may seem incredible; but, however wondrous, they are true.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose

It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.

LOLOLOLOL hahahahahahaha

Yes Americans famously love austerity, especially when it’s pitched to them by a guy who was currently building a gold leafed ball room

not great news coming from @northwestern – hate to see more universities (including my alma mater) giving in to extortion

Surprise! "“the number 1 source of news on Earth” is really just a worthless, poisoned hall of mirrors."

I think this is true

thanks to colorado's @joeneguse.bsky.social for clarifying what's at stake in the government shutdown

See ya Hulu

Larry Tesler, inventor of the cut, copy, and paste commands, dies at 74

good line: "It is a linguistic snap of the locker room towel."

Some thoughts on yesterday www.garbageday.email/p/the-logica...

Stephen Greenblatt is a smart guy, believe him when he says that "We need to get up from under our desks and persuade our fellow citizens that the institutions that they have helped create with their tax dollars are incredibly precious and important" www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/o...

If it wasn’t so disgraceful it’d be laughable

This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

What will it take? "RFK Jr needs to resign or be fired"

is

Unapologetically for the people, there's something I like about this Mamdani guy 😆

Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left

A hopeful (if tenuous) path forward as envisioned by @rhodesben.bsky.social – in summary, 'a coherent alternative depends "upon leaning into discomfort instead of avoiding division or offering false reassurance."'

goddamn this guy just sucks

kennedy is going to kill a lot of people

FT Editorial: "Unless the Israeli government agrees to an immediate end to the war and a surge of aid into Gaza, western countries should be sanctioning Netanyahu and his government." www.ft.com/content/69d5...

Accurate and pointed headline (and subhead) by @scotnational.bsky.social‬ – worth following their up-to-date coverage at www.thenational.scot/News/

government by petty fiat - good read by @radiofreetom.bsky.social in @theatlantic.com "This kind of explanation is the sort of thing that high-school teachers get from teenage smart alecks who think they’re being clever in class."

Hey Colorado, Tabor was never good but now it's for real time to get rid of Tabor

I've obtained a trove of leaked documents about today's federal crackdown on Los Angeles' MacArthur Park. One revelation is its codename: "Operation Excalibur"

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment: Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand; Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;

"we can win back voters if we tell them what to vote for not just what to be against"

The gap between the bloodsoaked Jihadi vampire Zohran Mamdani I am reading about from even somewhat mainstream press/politicians and the regular-ass Zohran Mamdani I met like two months ago and chopped it up about 2018-era Onion headlines could not be cleared by Evel Kneivel.

An embarrassment (though not surprising) for the current administration. As a society, we should do better

you just knew it was gonna happen

so the proposed Trump budget will balloon the federal debt with regressive tax cuts, and we are doing this because?

all very frightening

As late as Thursday, Donald Trump suggested that Iran’s leaders would have up to two more weeks to negotiate. But at that point, he had already made up his mind: The United States was going to bomb Iran. Read our reporting:

Mamdani is now ahead of Cuomo with just two weeks until the Democratic NYC mayoral primary, a new poll found.

RIP to Brian Wilson, who gave us many perfect albums but also the perfect interview
