Pay attention. Something dark might be coming. The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence. Instead, Trump and his anti-democratic radicals look to be readying a campaign to destroy dissent. 1/ Here's what's happening.

Because drugs killed 88% of us, America now looks like this.

If you're an author and haven't yet signed up for the Anthropic settlement, do yourself a favor (and strike a blow against AI) by checking to see if any of your books were involved. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

And some people wonder why I carry my passport with me on domestic travel….or on my way to work….

Sotomayor blasts Kavanaugh for suggesting immigrants just carry appropriate documents. "Countless people in the Los Angeles area have been grabbed, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed simply because of their looks, their accents, and the fact they make a living by doing manual labor."

I spy with my little eye…Dr. Santa Ono, former president of the University of Michigan…leading the Ellison Institute of Technology near Oxford University #academicSky #highered apple.news/AUk6LiaujRW-...

ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

Fellow authors, look what we can accomplish if we work together!

Imagine, many of these soldiers left their full-time jobs and families…to pick up trash….

i am so sick of the dumbest people alive being in charge of everything and the second dumbest people alive writing opinion columns about how it's good

Happening right in front of us

The UCLA Faculty Association has filed a California Public Records Act request for the DOJ ransom letter sent to UCLA, after it was learned yesterday that the UC and the Regents and UCLA administration has no intention of sharing it with faculty.

One year ago, ProPublica and @documented.net obtained 14+ hours of videos from Project 2025’s Presidential Administration Academy, intended to train the next conservative administration’s political appointees “to be ready on day one.” Check to see how Trump 2.0 is deploying this playbook:

The man whose identity has not been disclosed was transported to a local hospital, where he ultimately succumbed to his injuries. By @janettev.bsky.social & @shoton35mm.bsky.social This is a developing story. lataco.com/monrovia-man...

Border Patrol agents assembled outside a Los Angeles museum where Gov. Gavin Newsom was holding a rally and news conference on congressional redistricting. Local elected officials expressed outrage that the agents decided to stand there in a brazen show of force. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/u...

The Trump administration is now seeking to replace PBS with “Prager University,” a far-right propaganda organization that isn’t actually a university. One of their “kids videos” has Christopher Columbus telling them that slavery was “no big deal” and “better than being killed.”

See the man circled here? That's E.J. Antoni, Trump's Bureau of Labor Statistics nominee, walking through a crowd of Capitol rioters. #ICYMI, we've got an archive of 500+ Parler videos taken during Jan. 6. You can spot Antoni starting at around 1:41 here: projects.propublica.org/parler-capit...

Earlier this year, over 230 Venezuelan men were sent to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration. Our @propublica.org team spent months looking into who they were to find the truth behind their stories. projects.propublica.org/venezuelan-i...

Pritzker: "It's cheating. Donald Trump is a cheater. He cheats on his wives. He cheats at golf. And now he's trying to cheat the American people out of their votes."

Total 🦗 from the “socialism” crowd that spent the last 50 years accusing <checks notes> the Democrats of not respecting private property, free markets, limited government, the Marketplace Of Ideas, & the very sacred institution of Capitalism.

Only six months in and almost half of Project 2025 has been implemented: thehill.com/opinion/whit...

Stanford University’s student-run newspaper sued two senior Trump administration officials Wednesday, challenging Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s ability to revoke student visas and deem an individual deportable based on the content of their speech.

All that's missing in an 88 somewhere..

Grateful to visit the homeland and see the Aztec pyramids - this is a true engineering marvel

This story is not new but a presentation at #Botany2025 raised awareness on the impact of avocado production on biodiversity. U.S. demand is driving deforestation in rich Mexican cloud forests which also support monarch butterflies. www.nytimes.com/2023/11/28/u...

One of the coolest library I’ve visited - so cool that teenagers were taking selfies in the lobby, chilling in the courtyard, and studying on a Saturday #CDMX #AcademicSky

The truth is what *he* says it is Not what data say Sowing mistrust of the numbers is a feature, not a flaw, of the authoritarian strategy

ICYMI, Sens. @klobuchar.senate.gov and Cruz are trying to sneak a bill through intended to protect congressional security but so poorly drafted it would allow members to remove public info to conceal ethical lapses, restrict accountability, while failing to force data brokers to remove personal info

NEW FOIA Files SCOOP: The FBI redacted Trump’s name—and the names of other prominent public figures—from the Epstein files under two privacy exemptions before DOJ & FBI concluded “no further disclosure” of the files “would be appropriate or warranted.” www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

How have you been impacted by the changes we've seen under the current administration? What would you want to say to those in charge? I'm launching a new research initiative to collect and share anonymous stories of the human toll. And I'd be very grateful for your help. tinyurl.com/thehumantoll

Lying by an officer should be a one-strike-you're-fired situation, and the officers who did so should all be prosecuted. I won't hold my breath. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

a thin white woman in head to toe lululemon screaming at these thugs makes me think ICE has jumped the shark

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

This week, a college access non-profit asked me to develop a 1.5-hour personalized PD for their 25+ staff members in less than a week for VERY low $$$ + conduct a rehearsal. Please don't do that, especially since they have over 30M in assets & annual revenues in the high seven figures #academicSky

Sotomayor, in dissent, correctly says that today's decision in Mahmoud will lead public schools to simply censor books featuring LGBTQ characters and themes, creating "chaos" and stigmatizing children with LGBTQ families. This decision will lead to book bans. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

the way calling for the deportation of any visible non-white person is rapidly becoming normalized is a huge cause for concern.

Tuttle Twins is a YouTube cartoon and book series. At first glance, it might seem innocuous or even progressive. The twins have a diverse friend group. They love science. They time travel to learn lessons from history with their Latina grandma, who has a PhD in physics. But... 2/
