This has been such a persistent issue with the @nytimes.com in particular, and criticized so often, that you really can't see it as an oversight anymore, but as a deliberate policy of contempt towards other media outlets.

Time to make Section 4 of the 14th Amendment famous, which explicitly bars the U.S. government from paying out or owing anything to insurrectionists. The text instructs that “all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.” constitution.congress.gov/browse/amend...

Eric Trump on a US state visit to China "could raise questions about potential blurred lines between the government and the Trump family’s business interests." What an odd journalistic convention — refusing to state the obvious, instead hiding behind others hypothetically noting a mere possibility.

There will be no consequence that bothers him from skipping out on the court, so why would he obey the order? Unlike the rest of us, rules are meaningless to him.

Myself and Shane wouldn’t agree on much. But he’s 100% correct here. Flags can mean different things to different people. But our Flag must not be allowed to be misused by Phibsborough bohs jersey cargo bike types.

That sudden realization that @drachinifel.bsky.social has done videos of five of your Great-Uncle’s ships…

Last year in an Alaskan fjord, a surprise landslide triggered a tsunami 1578 feet tall. That's not a typo...the wave was taller than all but 13 of the world's tallest buildings. Incidents like these will become more common as glaciers continue to retreat. [kottke.org]

Wow. Chaos on the Tennessee House floor. Tennesseans yelling in the gallery and Democrats locking arms in one final stand, as Republicans vote to advance new congressional maps that will carve up the state’s only majority-Black congressional district.

This semester I taught a course on the History of the Far Right in the US. We were lucky to have one of the Pacific Northwest's best contemporary chroniclers and interpreters of the far right, @leahsottile.bsky.social, visit the class. This piece by Leah was inspired by what she heard students say.

He then went on to terrorize students & staff at a nearby Minneapolis high school, where pepper balls were deployed & neighbors came out of their homes & libraries to protect children & adults from violence & abduction.

trump and hegseth are presiding over one of the great Ls in american military history.

Cookie Monster, as cookie crumbs fall from his lips: Me worry Americans not understand how me operate, think me just want cookies.

His entire fucking campaign was promising not to put more entries on this list

Er. A diagnosis of "moral injury" doesn't absolve anyone of guilt, it rather confirms that the person committed actions horrifying enough to violate their sense of self, to shatter their ability to conceive of themselves as a moral actor, a good person. It's a diagnosis, not absolution.

Andreesen you say. cybernews.com/news/elon-mu...

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims

If you thought that the BBC News department was just presenting pseudoscience about LGBTQ ppl - it’s wider than that. Here, some archaeology reporting is compared to actual facts. It’s not good & makes one wonder, just why the BBC is so misinformed.

I have a new piece up on Slate, on how the "tough on crime" Louisiana GOP is cutting prosecutor jobs and judges in New Orleans, and even eliminating one position solely so the person who won it (an exoneree) can't take his seat. Another case of "tough on crime" really being abt social control.

Jesus. The families interviewed LITERALLY said Ghorayshi and Mitchell misled and betrayed them.

A tour de force by @robertdownen.bsky.social in @texasmonthly.bsky.social about Paul Pressler's influence on Southern Baptists. I was never a Baptist, but I have known the influence of these men during my Texas childhood. www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

There was no Giuliani "downfall." He was a clown and a fascist his entire career in public life. Eventually it got too much to bear/wasn't worth the trouble for the media to keep inserting the fake moderate problem-solver Giuliani into their stories instead of the evil clown he was in reality.

thank you sam alito for ending the unconstitutional racial discrimination against white conservatives and allowing them to obliterate federal representation for as many black people as they can manage, as the reconstruction congress intended

I went to 50th & France with visiting family at the height of the occupation. It was unsettling how unchanged it was: no private property signs, no mutual aid collection, no whistles, full restaurants.

In a post promoting the British Army and their actions, Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch, actually used footage of Bloody Sunday. There are no words.

Seven Irish citizens held by Israel after interception of Gaza aid flotilla in international waters

This is a modern-day Lost Cause campaign to once again white-wash our origin story, erase the true history of the myriad of people who helped build this nation, justify genocide/ slavery by painting an idyllic, racist portrait of an America that never was. You do so to justify the horrors to come.

In a time when we are increasingly becoming more individualistic, this is lovely to see. m.independent.ie/irish-news/m...

Listen to Ari Berman explain how the MAGA Supreme Court majority and Trump are interfering in the 2026 elections in unprecedented ways we cannot afford to ignore.

How stoopid.

From Lothrop Stoddard's 1921 book, The Rising Tide of Color. This is basically a summary of Elon Musk and Stephen Miller's understanding of history and politics.

This is the story that Walz highlighted in his speech.

I can't believe this. @normcharlatan.bsky.social you're a Minnesota Legend, my man.

Yeah the answer isn't some patriotic appeal that the NSA is somehow more wholesome or entitled to our private data than MSS. We need a strong push for privacy rights & inalienable data ownership for individuals with devastating penalties for companies & execs that violate the law.

Hey. Hey y'all. Diane Duane - yep, the author, THAT Diane Duane - is hoping that folks will buy some of her ebook bundles. www.tumblr.com/dduane/81506...

Every moment like this triggers a window of opportunity for the Trump administration to to curb dissent. Important to loudly stand up for rights guaranteed in the constitution to criticize our government at precisely these moments.

And yet Brin is silent abt trump's nationalization of things from chips to airlines.

We have a million problems right now. The MSM not churning out sufficient negative content on the Trump Administration, let alone “rooting” for them,” is not one of them.

I've been led to understand from decades of US gun violence that there's a variable window of "too soon to politicize this" during which discussions of gun control are verboten. It doesn't seem to apply to advocacy of the illegal demolition of a White House wing to build a party room out of bribes.

free speech news

I can’t stress enough that the people we are supposed to rely on for facts about the events have lied every single day forever about everything big and small and could not possibly have less credibility

If the shots hadn’t been fired I was going to say some really juicy stuff challenging Trump to his face. But now that seems like it would be in poor taste.

Keep thinking about the boy who cried wolf for some reason.

I’m entirely failing to give even a fraction of a shit.

Another fantastic thread.
