The Ellison family’s desire to take over Warner Bros should alarm anyone concerned with U.S. propaganda & media consolidation— They would own Paramount, Warner Bros, CNN, CBS, HBO, TikTok & a host of major cable channels

Democratic congressman Shri Thanedar has filed articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth over the murderous attacks on boats in the Caribbean. https://bit.ly/44E1yqP

Talk about an in-flight meal. For the first time, researchers have captured rats hunting bats by grabbing them from the sky. Learn more: https://scim.ag/3Jqldmn

That last point. Cassidy really has enormous leverage if he wants to use it. He would win this fight. Worst case is he winds up losing a primary and spends his 70s (he's 68 now) as a hero to millions. He'll likely never have as much influence over anything again as he has over this right now.

NYC farm workers fighting for their first contract Brooklyn Grange rooftop farms were out on the picket line today at the Empire State building supporting @sbworkersunited.org fight for a contract. Solidarity forever! #NoContractNoCoffee

This is the most important op-ed you'll read this week. The Trump administration is about to get rid of the birth-dose of hepatitis B vaccine. That is a deadly choice for many families. @helenouyang.bsky.social tells her story. Now call your member of Congress. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/o...

This World AIDS Day, I am grateful to those who spoke up, worked to make a difference, & improved the lives of millions Who inspire us to keep speaking & persisting in reducing HIV & inequities & in supporting people living with HIV — & each other more broadly Keep going www.actuporalhistory.org

Don’t worry! If your Thanksgiving dinner conversation turns from pie to prisons, or from cranberries to crime, we’ve got you covered. 🧵

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

The other piece, acknowledged even less, was pervasive *gender* harassment and bullying. Just straight up "you're a girl" or "you're a feminist" and you don't fit in/belong. There was nothing sexual about it. Gen X women scientists (those of us who made it) are tough as nails we had no choice.

Scientists tell Americans not to trust the CDC. Instead of a global leader in science, the CDC has devolved into “a propaganda machine for RFK Jr.'s fixed, immutable, science-resistant theories,” said @pauloffit.bsky.social. www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

Good. Dems not backing down in the slightest in the face of Trump's call for their execution. Keep this up, Dems. Treat Trump like *he's* the violent criminal and the real threat to our Constitution order. Because he is.

Starbucks can end this today: bargain in good faith, resolve unfair labor practices, and stop the union-busting. Until then, workers are holding the line! #NoCoffeeNoContract

Jaw dropped. Trump Administration Removes Report on Missing and Murdered Native Americans, Calling It DEI Content

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

“Following the arrival of the U.S. Border Patrol in Charlotte Saturday morning, hundreds of protesters gathered at First Ward Park in the afternoon and marched through uptown, delivering a clear message to federal agents: ‘Get out’...” www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

Trump’s thugs have come to my state to kidnap people/put them in concentration camps Anthony Lewis, Superintendent of Durham Public Schools, sent around a really wonderful letter to all parents explaining how DPS would handle any of these thugs coming to any public school What a time we live in 😢

If you haven't listened yet you need to!

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

We already know conclusively that abusing adult women doesn’t violate our norms. We are well on our way to demonstrating just as conclusively that sexually abusing girls doesn’t violate our norms, either.

And nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, physicians assistants— this is very bad and needs to be stopped.

Punished for... having a period? Yes, you read that right – behind bars, menstruation is treated like misconduct. Here's how prisons punish people for a bodily function they have no control over 🧵

what is happening? 🙀

For folks (and journalists) who want to search the Oversight Committee email texts, I made a database for searching the 20k text files: splendorous-chaja-f79791.netlify.app

Color me surprised 🙄

Queen Elizabeth vibes 😂

@support.bsky.team @moderation.bsky.app BRING BACK #SarahKendzior

How it's going 🤦🏼‍♀️ #medsky #episky #publichealth #idsky

If the price of providing single-payer universal healthcare in the USA is calling it "TrumpCare" we will pay it 😉

Joyce Carol Oates to Musk

Make Lung Disease Great Again This should be the Trump Administration's new slogan. The Mine Safety & Health Administration has stopped enforcing the silica exposure standard and is dismantling NIOSH, which does lung disease research and certifies respirators. Thanks Margie Mason & @apnews.com

ICE isn’t going after the worst of the worst. This morning, they took a preschool teacher without a warrant IN FRONT OF CHILDREN in my district. #ice #chicago

Further proof that AI stands for Actually Indians

I've said this about writing and art -- the goal was not to replace writers and artists with AI, the result was either: a) *threaten* to replace them with AI, and use that as leverage to be able to pay them less b) replace them unsuccessfully and pay them less to fix the shit the AI barfed out

Re: the replies scolding me for buying from WalMart: I'm not a "virtue capitalist" I am an anti-capitalist. Giving money is fine but misses the point about building solidarity (1st step get out the house!). And if you have not set foot inside WalMart in years lol enjoy your latte at Target sis 😏

From my book THEY KNEW, written in 2021, on Trump's plans. This is what's happening now.

Please find your nearest Diaper Bank and donate diapers, wipes, rash cream, and especially period care products for the moms and don't forget the teen sizes 🫶🏽 If there's no DB nearby, please start one with your union/church/club/PTA/neighborhood buddies! #solidarity #nokings #mutualaid #community

If you can at all afford to, head to WalMart ASAP for some shelf-stabile staples for your local food bank. My daughter threw snacks & goodies (not on the list) in the cart "I KNOW what kids LIKE mom!" 🫶🏽 Solidarity is a muscle - it requires regular training and you need to start the kids young 👊🏽

GOP-led states are blocking college students from registering to vote with campus addresses. In the context of broader attacks on vote-by-mail and early voting, these efforts will systematically disenfranchise young people across the US. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

It’s always funny to me that a set of political bros (not Jamelle here, just a type of dude) thinks politics is some rational decision making process. Politics is a soap opera and many people engage it as such. Something silly will end up being the downfall of this, and almost any, administration.

Members of the faithful lock arms as clergy, including a Chicago Auxiliary Bishop ask for entrance into Broadview ICE detention facility; they are denied entrance again; Fr. Dan Harnett is now leading a prayer of Spiritual Communion with detained immigrants.

Yes, Halloween is the deadliest day of the year for child pedestrians—great advice from @mcbazacophd.bsky.social (It’s also our kid’s birthday)

Spread the word. The Trump Administration can use emergency funds to pay for SNAP benefits during a shutdown. The President and little Mike Johnson are lying to you. How do we know? 1/ www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
