What every reporter should have on a savestring: "Much of what Trump said during his press conference was untrue." From the NY Times morning newsletter. messaging-custom-newsletters.nytimes.com/dynamic/rend...

A UNC program partnering with community colleges has lost a federal grant to help train future preschool teachers to serve students with disabilities. It's part of the U.S. Department of Education's crackdown on grants promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. Obscene www.wunc.org/education/20...

Welp

WXLV is my ABC station, owned by Sinclair. I go to its website to protest the decision to keep Kimmel off the air. There’s a handy button labeled “content concerns.” I click it. Perfect. I see how much they care.

you look at all of this and it tells a very clear and unmistakable story no matter what the conservative justices say at conferences or in interviews or whatever they tell themselves

The funniest thing about Charlie Kirk was that his entire shtick as a teenager was “watch this college dropout DESTROY these undergrads.” And he then went through the entirety of his 20s and into his 30s … still debating undergrads.

UNC med school wants its degree back.

if you think tylenol is bad for children, wait til you find out about school shootings.

Just a reminder that, despite what these freaks would have you think, antivaxx is extremely unpopular and we need to attack them relentlessly for putting insane dipshittery over our health

Their tough guy act sure seems to disappear anytime the rest of us stick together and tell them to get fucked.

🧵 From the 1890s - the 1930s, the Daughters of the Confederacy martyred Confederate soldiers by perpetuating falsehoods about the root cause of the American Civil War. They erected monuments to honor racists, blamed abolitionists for the war, and painted slavery as an act of benevolence.

If there is no conclusive scientific link between Tylenol use by pregnant women and autism, can the company which makes Tylenol sue the government for wrongly depicting its product? https://loom.ly/6nCAV5w

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

Tillis did opposed the cuts to protect constituents; Berger supported it because politics. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

I’m assuming the Supreme Court will step in and rule against Disney in favor of Trump.

How are they “independent” then?

I have no doubt this is true, and it’s yet another indication of big problems in UNC’s governance.

Searching the Bible for a reference to God giving the right of education of children to parents. (If he has his way schools would teach Bible study.)

In the past 2 weeks, I’ve learned that if you’re publicly about how much you love Jesus, MAGA will let you get away with anything.

Wait a damn second! If true: *The coke survived the blast that blew up the boat? *The U.S. freed tons of coke to float around until it’s found? Sounds poorly planned to me but then Hegseth’s involved so…

I cancel Disney and stop watching Nexstar and Sinclair stations in my market. I cancel the Post to oppose its editorial page moves. I try to stop using Amazon because Bezos. (It’s hard, yo.) Now I’m doubling up on Tylenol purchase because Trump and RFK are lunatics. These guys are messing my life

This is such a sad story about one of my hometown’s shining lights.

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

Books will be written about these murders, particularly focusing on the lives of the victims

Hey, @axios, when is a “joke” not a joke?

GOP: We care about children and families Me: Yeah? See story below GOP: We care about white American children www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/w...

I mean, a reporter went to college, worked her way up to The NY Times, covers the NYPD, and this is what she’s assigned to do, find a Kirk fangirl and write about her?

As @rbreich.bsky.social says, the leadership class is filled with cowards.

Now do Medicaid. Or public education.

An open endorsement of hate - precisely what you do not want the President to do after an assassination when messages from leaders disavowing violence are especially important www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/u...

This story should convince everyone that you won’t change the mind or vote of a Trump supporter. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Quick reminder to everyone that Kentucky, Kansas and North Carolina have all elected pro-choice Democrats who actually made the issue a part of their campaign--while they also ran on costs and economics and health care.

One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.

So Trump negotiates the mass release of 5,000 Taliban fighters and agrees to end U.S. presence in Afghanistan in 14 months. Taliban then takes over Afganistan and the Bagram air base. Trump asks for the air base back. Taliban says nah. A petulant Trump threatens Afganistan. The Art of the Deal.

Rep. Jim Himes: "I still can't get over the fact that I think for the first time in our history, the U.S. military...is now killing civilians who have been convicted of no crime. There's a reason we do trials in this country."

Good to know that my rep adheres to Kirk’s offensive positions. One thing Kirk did my rep doesn’t do and that is hold in-person public meeting.

What an embarrassment. “I’ve actually admired the way you’ve tried to keep your composure over the course of this,” Republican Sen. Thom Tillis said of Patel’s performance. www.cnn.com/2025/09/16/p...

Given everything that’s happened in the past couple days I keep hoping that Sen. Thom Tillis will say something indicating he’s against what the Trump administration is doing. Nope.

It’s really all we should be talking about today.

Senate Democrats should introduce a “Melissa Hortman day of remembrance” and see if Republicans object to it.

And none of these stories will be on the front pages of most newspapers Sunday.

3 million in NC benefit from Medicaid so what do the Republicans do? journalnow.com/news/state-r...

Actually, democracy is under siege, thanks in part to you, but fine.

“We’re fine with corruption if comes with terrorizing brown people.” Really sums up the MAGA punditocracy.

this is the second impeachable offense worse than watergate that we have read about *today*

Homan has been bellowing about criminals for years while also being filmed doing this: "On Sept. 20, 2024, with hidden cameras recording the scene at a meeting spot in Texas, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills, according to an internal summary of the case and sources. " www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Good news for UNC football! They score 2 more points against UCF than NC A&T!

Doofus wonders why a drone doesn’t kill them
