Trump has pardoned 17 drug dealers and nearly 1600 people who attacked Congress on January 6, 2021.

One of the wildest things that is part of the (I am assuming AI-generated) "send me your book link" or "this is how I can help your book" emails I now get daily (sometimes multiple emails/day) are the ones that have the field/prompt [INSERT BOOK TITLE] still in the text. #Delete #WriterSky

In Ps. 101:2 today: 'I want to study the way of integrity.' Not that we ever arrive, but we can be a student of integrity. Wholeness. Neighborliness. Suspect the algorithms & rage bait. Do not concede the rights of your neighbor. Live compassionately. Integrity is my work today.

Well, this is an utter disaster for science. This gutting of peer review is very likely driven by Project 2025/OMB/Vought, very likely is about funding junk science, and very likely is coming for #NIH and biomedical research next. 🧪

this SUCKS

When universities tell you who they are, believe them the first time.

Our politicians appear oblivious to the growing public dissatisfaction with them and the policies they pursue This is the outcome of a highly careerist political system where personal ambition triumphs over principles and competence. It would be laughable if it were not so serious

I so very much appreciate the voice *and actions* of @vanhollen.senate.gov

Interviews this candid would get any other chief of staff fired. If Wiles survives this, it's another sign that Trump has absolutely zero control over his White House.

We don’t have a complete account of Donald Trump and his family’s finances. But a clear picture has emerged: enrichment of the First Family on a scale that is unprecedented in American history. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/wKHd1v

amazing how doing conservatism to stop conservatives helps both conservatives and conservatism

good morning holy shit www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/u...

A large CBP presence is back in Chicago this morning, with sightings and arrests reported across the southwest side and Cicero. Bovino is also here.

There is going to be a “Trump gap” for decades in charts that rely on government data across so many fields

The scale of the need for affordable housing cannot be overstated. When the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) reopened the Section 8 waiting list—for the first time in 15 years—a staggering 600,000 New Yorkers rushed to apply.

The president of Ukraine in a town that the president of Russia claims Russia occupies. Ukrainians can defend themselves if they are helped by their allies. We have a simple job here — help courageous people who are defending themselves in horrible circumstances. Continuous good work by Phil OBrien

Just re-watched "When Harry Met Sally" for the first time in ages. It still holds up wonderfully. Thank you, #RobReiner.

Vandals decapitated and smashed the statue of Mary in an Evanston church’s outdoor Nativity scene Friday, and the church responded by replacing it with a sign saying Mary was beaten & dragged away in front of her son and is being held in immigration detention. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/12/15/n...

I’ve seen this post migrate to other social media platforms with people expressing concern. This post is false. And I double checked with Secretary Clinton’s spokesperson to be sure.

California takes public health leadership seriously. Proud to partner with former CDC Director Dr. Susan Monarez and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Debra Houry to strengthen our work.

Nice gyre. Widening?

whoever is writing reality lately is really getting heavy-handed with it. no subtlety at all

The internet is now absolutely *jam packed* with AI slop, endless reams of videos and articles and images. We achieved infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters and so I ask: where is Hamlet? Perhaps art was more than letters and pixels after all. Who knew?

What kind of person, let alone a President, reacts to the murder of an American this way?

Our fate, apparently, is to all drown in bullshit.

The message that Trump and Marco Rubio are sending is that America does not care about human rights and are all too happy to punish those who do. Even from a purely self-interested perspective, this makes no sense as it diminishes America's soft power in the world.

A #StanleyFishAssistant flashback. Please note that I proofed *every single Milton quote* in the manuscript before the final was submitted to Harvard University Press. Every single one. I have avoided Milton ever since that weekend of proofing. #TrueStory #BearTheMiltonicScars

👇👇👇👇 Also, *please* read his book. #BookSky Also, recommended it to a faculty member @csusb.bsky.social, and it looks like Adam Becker may now be speaking (via Zoom?) at the campus this spring. Thank you, @adambecker.bsky.social! Please tell Jeremy hi! from Tracy.

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

Reading about what Brown TA/undergraduate Joseph Oduro and his students endured on Saturday is so absolutely horrifying Turn the guns into plowshares, please

mass murder. straight up www.propublica.org/article/usai...

Every single reporter there needs to hold the line on this too. Don't throw him a lifeline with another question if he dodges. Have each other's backs and demand he answer the question.

Trump is profoundly unfit and deeply unwell, and his enablers are putting the country in grave danger. bsky.app/profile/patr...

Today is the ONLY day the public can comment. Demand a PUBLIC HEARING.

this is why primaries are important

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Feverishly working on this

Sunday is always a good day to protest Musk the murderer. New projection that his USAID cuts will kill more than Hitler by 2030 He must go down. #Centinela #TeslaTakedown @teslatakedown.com @teslatakedownla.bsky.social @progressivelib1776.bsky.social @tacomentarian.bsky.social

If the New York Times was waiting for a news hook to write a long-overdue story about how Trump is mentally unfit to be president, Trump has provided one today with his post saying Rob Reiner got murdered because he was mean to Trump. Write it, NYT. End the normalization. @nytimes.com

This is in a small city where culture war radicals have taken over the school board & a small group of haters feels free to come out & spew that hate at both City Council & School Board meetings. And now they are acting on it in this horrid anti-Semitic attack. It is vile & gross beyond belief.

I’m finding it increasingly hard to report anything delivered by “official sources” in the US. Could be true, could be a coverup, could be completely made up for nefarious ends. It’s a country now where no one really has any idea what’s actually going on.

The Trump administration has nearly doubled the amount of formaldehyde considered safe to inhale under EPA regulations. Formaldehyde causes far more cancer than any other chemical in the air. www.propublica.org/article/epa-...

This week, House Republicans are prioritizing legislation requiring a government agency “study” energy supply chains. What they fail to mention is the Trump administration eliminated the agency last month!

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl. Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist. They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed. Another horrific story. More details below.

India has been placed on high alert following intelligence warnings of planned terrorist attacks targeting Jews in major cities including Delhi, Bengaluru and Mumbai – NDTV
