Being anti capitalist makes you a terrorist? Well, thanks Jeff Bezos I guess for establishing that it’s wrong think to be anti capitalist in one of our nation’s biggest and most important newspapers where no one is allowed to defend critiques of capitalism.

Anyone with a copy of that memo should definitely send it to Chris but while you’re at it would a copy to me hurt? NO

Hmmm. So Argentina is more important to the American economy than... New York City?

yeah this guy is dumber than donkey shit

The cowardice of the elites is a defining feature of America in 2025

I can’t believe how often I come back to this: bsky.app/profile/norm...

Trump/MAGA are trying to gaslight us into believing that anti-Jimmy Kimmel America is vast and deep, that MAGA's grip on the culture is unshakable, that mobilization is futile. But this episode has demonstrated the opposite. Let's not forget it. Thoughts on this: newrepublic.com/article/2008...

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

Imagine if VP Kamala Harris did this.

I appreciate them taking the time to write this out because it's the equivalent of a veterinarian journal article explaining why you can't sew a porcupine inside a pig. Like what even is any of this and why must we discuss it? Everyone involved should be impeached and jailed.

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

Some news.

Tell me you didn't read the column without telling me you didn't read the column:

Civility Is a Fantasy www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...

a new mRNA therapy apparently can cut the rate of Huntington's disease progression by ~75%. yet more miracle shit www.bbc.com/news/article...

Facts.

Defending them against *anti-semitic attacks* not defending their billionaire status. Jesus. It's not that complicated. When they become a magnet for conspiracy theories that just add gasoline to the fire re: MAGA anti-semitism, we should push back!

Walgreens confirms to me that they, too, will provide Covid vaccines without a prescription nationwide if CDC formally adopts ACIP's recommendations. (Please note that, for both CVS and Walgreens, this change is still contingent on that formal adoption!) Explainer has been updated to reflect this.

“We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend,’ Jeffrey Epstein,” a plaque at the bottom of the...bronze installation reads. A permit from the National Park Service will allow the statue to stay on the National Mall grounds through 8pm on Sunday.'

True, but Trump's only policy tool is "everybody give me more money," so logic does not apply.

Got paid $400 today — not by George Soros (who by the way, liberals and progressives need to defend more against what is obviously blatant anti-semitism) but by The Nation. Which slightly offsets the $2000+ bill I got yesterday for last year’s emergency appendectomy because “co-insurance”.

Superb essay by @jamellebouie.net on how the hyped-up unitary executive theory is built on a distorted conception of the President’s superior democratic legitimacy, and why it’s extreme application would fundamentally upend our constitutional order. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...

This is the perfect encapsulation of Trumpism -- because of its obsession with imagery, the White House crew caused a problem but blamed it on other people, leading to MAGA making threats against the United Nations for their own screw up

DJT: I am using the state to punish criticism and extort people WH: this business decision was driven by DJT: No I am using the state to punish criticism and extort people WH: Unitary executive theory implies that DJT: I SAID I AM USING THE STATE TO PUNISH CRITICISM AND EXTORT PEOPLE FOR MONEY

This is very good and reminds me of a point I always make when people say you can’t shame people out of being bigots. You can’t, but you can make them behave better by not creating a culture of permissiveness when they do

Give Issac Chotiner subpoena power

On the National Mall this morning, a new satirical statue is up celebrating Jeffrey Epstein and Trump's "friendship" in honor of National Friendship Month.

So cool that our ambassador to Türkiye and special envoy to Syria is a corrupt real estate mogul who is equal parts racist and ignorant.

This is horrific and feels like it should be a bigger deal. Business Insider reports that people who have worked at xAI have seen Grok create images and written material with child sex abuse material. www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-gr...

Excellent piece on the ideological antecedents of Trumpism and MAGA, from @mattpolprof.bsky.social. Core point: MAGA is expressly anti-egalitarian, something that constantly gets airbrushed away or just passes unnoticed in mainstream pundit depictions of it www.commonwealmagazine.org/sam-francis-...

Abolish ICE

Tuesday tidings! W/ @zerlinamaxwell.bsky.social: @crow.house.gov of CO-06, @repstansbury.bsky.social of NM-01, Digital Media Strategist @espiers.bsky.social + Authors & Philosophers Michael Brownstein & Alex Madva! ☎️ 866-997-4748 📻 @siriusxmprog.bsky.social Ch. 127 siriusxm.us/Zerlina

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity. "To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."

I feel like this is good for straight women because men wearing Palantir merch are self IDing as fascists and you know to avoid them apple.news/AfZBmxQmXRbC...

how dare he

In my mind, it is a burlap sack with a giant dollar sign on it

Fun story this morning. I spoke with Curtis Evans, the retired Marine in the viral photo below who took part in the anti-ICE protest at Broadview. He's a thoughtful guy, well read and with a dry sense of humor. Story @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-...

Someone should ask Trump whether he agrees with an advisor using this language and displaying this disrespect towards a member of Congress. www.blackenterprise.com/jasmine-croc...

Your daily update in Dumb Ass Shit the admin is doing to own imaginary libs

Best characterization of Cuomo ads I’ve seen www.instagram.com/reel/DNlWpNt...

So about that "free speech on campus" law in Texas, Governor Abbott...

*mournfully shooting off a tshirt cannon into the sadly cheering funeral crowd*

How about Co-Guest hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert sometime?

Random thought: I think SNL should do a weekend update segment where they invite someone playing Stephen Miller as a guest and the guy just yells and talks over Jost and Che at an increasing pitch until he’s just garbling nonsense in a high soprano register

Miran scheduled 3 interviews less than a week into the job which is unheard of. Waller and Bowman, also Trump appointees, agreed with Powell, and Miran was a giant outlier. This is kind of a “shadow Fed chair” move

find me another Dem that wouldn't be too afraid to do this. seriously.

what really gets me about MAGA music is how no matter what genre it is, it keeps becoming kitsch because Trump is fundamentally kitsch
