Yeah, go after Mark Kelly, who served a great career in the Navy then became an astronaut with his twin brother and only left the role because his wife was nearly killed in a mass shooting. This one will go over well. Do these people even understand optics.

I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

MAGA seemed surprised by this. I wasn't. Were you?

Maybe it was a mistake to base the American economy on everyone buying and throwing away stuff constantly

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

KYUK is the only public radio station in remote Alaska that regularly broadcasts in the Yugtun language, providing a crucial lifeline to the Indigenous communities in the area. After Congress slashed its budget, the station isn't sure how it'll survive.

Reuters has confirmed that President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and his special envoy Steve Witkoff held a private meeting in Miami with a sanctioned Kremlin proxy to help shape the new "peace plan" for Ukraine. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

This excellent WSJ annotation of the Molotov/Ribbentrop … sorry, Witkoff/Dmitriev … “peace deal” for Ukraine shows how ridiculously vague and utterly unworkable this thing is Free link www.wsj.com/world/europe...

these people basically just take luxury government jets and go to fancy events like make a wish kids while their minions flashbang your elderly neighbors

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA." This is what's happening in epidemiology.

We will need tribunals and Democrats need to start talking about that

ICYMI: I spoke with CBS Sunday Morning about my book, There Is No Place for Us, alongside the families whose desperate efforts to secure housing the book follows—people working nonstop and still being pushed into homelessness.

Yes! This is so important! Machine Learning is doing wonderful things like mapping Martian craters and analyzing microbe genomes. LLMs are a very specific form & it’s them doing these huge amounts of harm. I also sometimes say “Gen AI” when I mean both LLMs and art generators; I try to never say AI

Spend time with her story this weekend.

Really enjoying ICE finding out North Carolina is an open carry state with a stand your ground law. My current favourite genre of TikTok videos is ICE agents in full camo in the woods being hunted by North Carolinians

Thank you, Mother Jones, for this in-depth article showing why Roberts is truly one of the principal architects of America's downfall, making him the indisputably worst Chief Justice in our 250 year history, let alone one of America's most heinous traitors.

The Queens Daily Eagle remains undefeated.

If Mamdani invites Trump to Gracie Mansion and serves him 1980’s surf-and-turf and chocolate cake with a chilled can of Diet Coke in a graciously appointed dining room, we might be able to get Medicare For All. Dream big.

I keep reposting these pictures because my brain is glitching over the fact that TRUMP POSTED THEM!!!

This is absolutely amazing. Come check out "The Usenet" with Cory Doctorow.

I don't mean this in an "I told you so" way, but it was very obvious to me that the Mamdani/Trump meeting would go the way it did, because Mamdani is ascendant, popular, powerful and charismatic, all things that Trump wants to glom on to. Trump has no principles; it's not like he has converted.

I would bet good money that Trump has never looked at either of his sons this way.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Fuckers and ghouls. They want poor people, especially if they are poor people of color to die. Thats what this and the gutting of USAID is about. Genocide by budget cuts

For years, there was a "Bad Hemingway Contest," in which readers would parody Ernest's writing, w/ hilarious results.. That Nuzzi excerpt, with lines like these, ought to generate a contest of its own. www.cjr.org/laurels-and-...

this is a stunning piece of data journalism/art/whatever.

omg they made Jeffrey Epstein Inbox Simulator '25 jmail.world

People still default too often to the fact that Trumps base won’t care about one revelation or another. But as elections keep showing us, the universe of people other than his base is much bigger and we do care. So exposing shit does matter and it’s worth sharing those things so others oppose him.

This is an extraordinary thread. Please read every word.

Literally picking regime apologists to cover them like state media

Evergreen post

The Trump family has made more from crypto bribes this year than all their other business holdings combined. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

We'll have a lot more to say about this one tomorrow, but I'm so proud of this update and our tireless all-volunteer timeline-building and sensemaking crews.

Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?" My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.) The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope? Because Greta is right ..

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

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...

Trump shrugged off the murder of Jamal Khashoggi this week by saying "things happen," an attitude towards violence that has huge implications for our country. @rosabrooks.bsky.social and @djrothkopf.bsky.social discuss and look for answers in our history: ow.ly/urX550Xut82 youtu.be/FJFgW2c5m8o

BREAKING: Senator @ChrisMurphyCT on Trump's call for executions: “The President of the United States just called for members of Congress to be executed. If you are a person of influence in this country, maybe it’s time to pick a f**king side!”

every thing going according to plan

The morning after Trump won the 2024 election, he called his top fundraiser and said: “I want you to keep going." He has since raised nearly $2 billion for political operations, nonprofit causes, and his library, Michael Scherer and Ashley Parker report. theatln.tc/OUxbL3SH

Man, Mamdani sure has the political instincts to meet this moment. The odds are super high that Trump lashes out petulantly, which means more press for Mamdani and even more people who realize they like the guy abc7ny.com/post/preside...
