The best way to start making Bluesky more culturally polycentric is through sport. Only six out of 30 NBA franchises have a Bluesky account. The World Cup is coming to North America in 7 months but it's crickets here. Fans should demand change from their respective teams, leagues, and federations

This is smart. I hope Illinois hires a few experts unfairly canned by the Trump administration.

It's striking that many Republican/conservative platforms are not very popular, yet the general public feels compelled to elect a Republican every few years to remind itself about this basic fact.

NEW: One of the most significant accomplishments of the Trump Admin: Decimating the US's humanitarian aid. We went to S. Sudan to see the effects. Rubio says no one has died from the cuts. Spoiler: That's not true. @annamaria.bsky.social & Brett Murphy: www.propublica.org/article/usai...

Two things: *They are only cutting these funds in seven states that lean Democratic *Support for people with disabilities was a relatively bipartisan position. Trump has repeatedly made clear he does not see them as people worthy of support or dignity.

Tractor maker Deere has warned that US President Donald Trump’s tariffs are backfiring on American farmers, prompting cash-strapped producers to delay replacing aging equipment. Deere has had to cut production and workers and says it is likely to cut more jobs in 2026. www.ft.com/content/523a...

The repeated pattern (see also Washington Post) is that these choices to veer rightward are not economic decisions: they turn off the core audience. Editorial choices are loss leaders for bigger corporate goals.

Husbands looking for the perfect Xmas gift for the missus: why not consider music, like a CD of this iconic Joni Mitchell album, Both Sides Now?

If the dating advice was to sexually assault women he could have just gone to Dad for that.

The same people who think we need to bring back real standards to academia also want to give all students a “suspend my professor” button if they don’t like how things are going

Some late night Christmas card making Watercolours …. I don’t recall the last time I used them. Probably at school. I’m enjoying painting with them #artadventcalendar

It took a little time to pull all this data together, but I think it was worth the wait! Democrats won 245 races in South Carolina last month❕ They won in some of the reddest counties in the state. They won because South Carolinians are tired of Republican nonsense. LFG! #SouthCarolina #scpol

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns. The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

Is it possible that there aren't as many Charlie Kirk and Bari Weiss fans in America as we were led to believe? That it's a relatively niche market, not Voice of the People, and extensively served already? Huh. (But the new owners are in it for ideology, propaganda, and corruption, not to sell ads)

Hello from snowy NYC ❄️ (Video by Gary Hershorn)

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat. The claim collapsed because it’s a cover. Check my latest… open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

Podcast host Jim Stewartson added, "It’s only weird until you realize that CBS News is run by the PayPal Mafia. Bari Weiss started an 'anti-woke university' with the co-founder of Palantir." "Everything that comes out of this network is untrustworthy," he further added.

Folks like "I'm agreeing with Rand Paul" and feeling weird about it should reframe. Rand Paul is agreeing with you. About one, maybe two, possibly a handful of things. Rand Paul is a stopped clock and still a self-centered destructive shit but sometimes possibly useful. Also still a bad person.

I am actually happy the vice president did this, because what we must know do, is save this video and show this as why vance shouldnt be president, why trumps gotta go. How do republicans solve problems when the president and vice president arent interested in solving problems??

its important to note that this is happening in the major red state of west Virgina

Interesting And Not Surprising…

Earlier this week, Kristi Noem told me under oath that she has not deported veterans. I then introduced her to one that she did deport. But it’s much worse than that: @moulton.house.gov got DHS to admit that they’ve deported at least 8 vets and are planning to deport dozens more.

Love to see the chronicle and propublica come together (hate the topic)

This is a massive expansion of questionable surveillance efforts by the federal government.

if our governor had a clue, make this a restaraunt, allow parents and kids to eat healthy meals, create breakfast,lunch,snacks and shakes. hell allow student to deliver meals to busy families. if you want SC to eat healthy you need to put in the effort.

How this school is elevating the dining and cultural experience for students #usnews

My head is exploding.

Today, the DOJ sued Colorado for access to its complete voter roll. This marks the 15th state sued over private voter info, 13 of which are led by Democrats. My colleague @ariberman.bsky.social and I published a big piece last week about why this should scare you. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social I have always liked you but finding out you teach about the middle east and israel is something i am looking for but i also thinks america needs. What do you do when see a palestinian with gofundme account should you send money or are you sending money to hamas?
