TLDR: Them congresspeople do weirdly well with stock gains. 👀

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism. Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

Ahhhh, the 1970's. Full grown adults out there, armed with boxes of dynamite, just flying by the seat of their pants.

Your isolation is not accidental. It’s intentional. A client of mine recently attended two international tech conferences and reached out to share his experience. The first, he said, was “status quo white dudes and a handful of women.” The second, Mozilla Festival, felt completely different:

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

No notes. 👀

Powerful.

Arlington ran Stephen Miller out of town with chalk drawings. Apparently seeing messages like: "we [love] immigrants,” “hate has no home in Arlington,” “no white nationalism,” and “trans rights are human rights,” in sidewalk chalk was too scary for the poor lamb. www.arlnow.com/2025/10/15/t...

This looks more like an excuse to surveil anyone they choose. That aside, I have a copy editing question: when the word "antifa" is used to refer to an organization, should it be referred to in quotes since it doesn't exist as an organization?

There are some very strange things going on at the Library of Congress. I’m doing searches for news articles from the Civil Rights Era. Political cartoons. That sort of thing. They used to be easily found. That stuff is VERY hard to find now. Things are missing, people.

How on earth is "warfighting" being used as a word by someone who is NOT a six-year-old boy trying to get you to play GI Joe with him?

“The announcement of health insurance companies that they’ll continue covering routine vaccinations is a huge vote of no confidence in ACIP's recommendations. It reflects a desire by insurers to avoid the cost of illnesses by having their customers vaccinated.”

"I AM the storm," I whisper to my newly opened box of Trader Joe's Butter Almond Thins.

I can’t say it enough times - Everything hinges on trans rights. If you need self-interest: Cis ladies, do you like yoga pants and voting and guys in eyeliner? Cis dudes, do you like glam rock, metal, and Katharine Hepburn? Trans rights are our rights. Trans rights are your rights.

i just know we're all going to have to sit through a three minute clip of joe rogan saying "i can't believe censorship is happening"

Trans men are men. Trans women are women. Trans rights are human rights.

"It's not MSNBC anymore, Lemon. It's MS NOW. We bought the name off of a defunct multiple sclerosis awareness organization. It wasn't cheap, but we were able to save some money by selling Brian Williams to a Saudi prince who wanted to expand his harem."

A new study of over 5,000 #trans adults found that access to gender-affirming hormones during adolescence was associated with better mental health outcomes in adulthood. Similar results to our 2022 study in @plosone.org. digital.lib.washington.edu/researchwork...

Would 100% watch a sitcom in which Cuomo and Dershowitz end up roommates, Dershowitz is denied a pierogi every episode in exactly the same way, and Cuomo runs for successively lower-stakes office each week, only to lose again.

re: fairness, there are simple steps that can be taken, like “let them practice with the team but not compete until they’ve been on HRT for [x] months or got puberty blockers” and it’s something that, given the 15 or so kids we are talking about, shouldn’t be a years long national debate

America constantly tells teachers that they’re supposed to do it for the love of the job, not to get “rich” at 50K. But then you’ve got members of Congress making almost 200K acting like they’ll starve if they can’t do insider trading and manipulate the stock market

very jealous of you who live in LA. Eric Krasno Robert "Sput" Searight Cory Henry last night at The Mint in LA now THIS is a supergroup

This is how a seal’s nose prevents water from entering its lungs.

United Farm Workers President Teresa Romero - Two years ago, we invited all 100 senators to work in the fields. Only two of them accepted: Alex Padilla and Cory Booker.

Same, Kirk. Same.

This looks like it will be a super interesting read!

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

Every editor is different, and many outlets have moved to submissions to online platforms that, to my mind, have resulted in task inflation. But to the extent you're a freelancer who does any pitching by email, I thought I'd share some brief thoughts on what I consider an effective pitch. 1/x

Perfect

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

McMorrow: What Trump has done is weaponize us against each other, when everybody needs hospitals, good schools, and health care. It has become this battle for scarcity, when we’re the wealthiest country in the world. We should not be fighting each other for our basic needs.

This was pretty rich coming from a GOP Healthcare strategist talking about Medicaid. "If you get kicked off, try the Obamacare exchange, which we hate and also tried to take away from you."

A lot of people think the world can be made better by identifying the bad people and making them suffer in exactly the ways that we suffer. I understand that urge. It may bring some kind of catharsis. But we all need to understand that it doesn't actually *solve* anything.

Notice the pattern? Republicans work to advance their worst bills in the middle of the night—hoping you’re asleep while they attack your healthcare, your rights, and your future. (1/2)

Whoa! Alligator Alcatraz is going to be complete by Tuesday and open for operation on Wednesday. Am I the only one wondering how Ron DeSantis got this together so fast? Floridians, make sure you remember this the next time a hurricane hits and you can’t get disaster relief in your state.

We were just suspended without warning from threads and Instagram. We have no idea why. If any of y’all are on those apps and want to let them know to fix that we would be appreciative.

Donald Trump should be in jail right now, but instead America put him back into office so he could do *gestures* all of this. But supposedly, a slightly older man, a Black woman, and trans children playing Little League were bigger existential threats. So here we are.

Constantly impressed with the way Teen Vogue @teenvogue.com is meeting the moment in ways that the majority of publications are not.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

I've never watched the Tony's before. Within 30 seconds, I was completely invested. Turns out, these theater kids really know how to put on a SHOW.

What an elegantly concise synopsis of our current situation in the US.

The problem with ballot referendums is that the GOP feels absolutely no need to honor them. So…we keep seeing people who vote for ballot measures, but ALSO vote for the people who will undo them. We NEVER spend the time or the money to educate people about HOW our government works, because that
