Most people don’t see it, but the legal resistance to Trump is enormous: 327 active cases, 337 filings, dozens of injunctions. Lawyers & civil rights groups are fighting nonstop in court. The legal system in the U.S. is standing up harder than anywhere in the world. This is democracy’s front line.

Sure seems like the president just instructed the military to use lethal force against US citizens.

The thing regular people don’t often grasp about ‘academic freedom’ is that if you don’t allow experts to research & teach in their fields of expertise, guided by their professional judgment & decades of training, you have effectively given up on the concept of knowledge & shut down your university

Real saying the quiet part loud here

Famous American citizen Wernher von Braun.

If a full accounting of Epstein’s crimes - and his accomplices - is ever made public, people on the left and the right are going to feel really dumb that we’ve been arguing with each other while the elites of both parties pal around and do abhorrent shit.

Some big implications for journalism, too, where reporters often mistake trending posts as a reasonable reflection of public opinion.

If nothing else, I hope people are getting the idea that fighting back and not being conciliatory in the face of threats and attacks is the way to go, while we still can.

FBI fires employees who have a Black friend. FBI fires employees who liked In Living Color. FBI fires employees who were invited to the cookout.

I spoke with analyst Gil Luria at D.A. Davidson, asking if the capital existed to build OpenAI's promised 17GW of data centers. He said "of course there isn't enough capital for all of this," but "enough capital to do this for a at least a little while longer." www.wheresyoured.at/openai-onetr...

What in the absolute FUCK. The only words I have right now are F-bombs.

Chilling. Maybe the best example yet of how smartphones are the primary weapon that global authoritarians are using to take over the world.

These are the content ads Nexstar is running right now. This is peak capitulation - using paid ad space to push far-right , anti-immigrant, narratives. If you give Nexstar or Sinclair a dime - it’s time to cut that cord.

People are going to die because of this.

It feels like an insult to the notion of objective reality to invoke “experts” to weigh in on a numerical fact you can verify with a pocket calculator

This is what unity looks like.

I miss my 50-year streak of not knowing who the Secretary of Health is or anything about them.

I guess I just don’t understand why an anti-ICE sniper would aim at immigrants… And why are so many people engraving bullets these days? I have questions.

Odd, how we can’t afford to give Americans healthcare, but we can afford to drop $200,000,000,000 on Argentina with a moment’s notice.

Okay but if someone cut the feed of his speech to the UN so that nobody heart the shit he was saying, that is fucking hilarious. Good work.

America 2025. Please Don’t Offend The White Supremacists

America First! Until some billionaires start losing their investments in Argentina. Then it’s our patriotic duty as working Americans to bail out Argentina’s economy and stock market.

If your headline is "Does Tylenol Cause Autism Like Trump Claims?" and not "Tylenol Doesn't Cause Autism You Fuckwits" you've already failed as a responsible news organization

I remain convinced that 80% of people who voted for Trump have never heard him speak other than in 30 second clips curated and narrated by right-wing media.

Yes and also we all aren't outrage jukeboxes, you can't just press a button and have us be outraged on request. We're all allowed to focus on what we want and where we feel our voices will be effective right now, and trust that others will fight the other fights worth fighting. It's a group effort.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

Any journalist or commentator who writes a wrap-up of this speech that suggests that any of it was normal, worthy of respect, not absolutely deranged, not an insult to the audience, not an embarrassment for the US, should be relieved of their jobs.

Trump take dignity

Washington Post reporter Joe Heim confirms this Trump-Epstein “Friendship Month” statue has been placed on the National Mall

🚨 NOW: NYPD Arresting Demonstrators Near UN Assembly: “Trump does not speak for us!” A coalition of orgs, in addition to @50501newyork.bsky.social, formed a blockade (restricting traffic) to gain attention from the International community during the UN assembly. Their message: SHUTDOWN TRUMP.

"Raptured" I mumble, as I block someone

AI is cooked

Kind of surreal that a government official was caught taking a $50,000 cash bribe and there's not even a question that he will continue serving as it nothing ever happened. Like even the most basic standards of public accountability are a joke.

This is horrific and feels like it should be a bigger deal. Business Insider reports that people who have worked at xAI have seen Grok create images and written material with child sex abuse material. www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-gr...

today i am challenging democratic politicians, for the rest of the week, to pick one (1) horrifying thing republicans are doing and pretend its as bad as jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended id suggest tom homan taking bribes, but theres a few things to pick from if they want

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

every corporate decision comes down to money and clearly the economics for abc/disney outweighed the threats from the fascist government

Disney has backed down, but there's no evidence that Sinclair or Nexstar have learned their lesson. If you haven't already done so, check the links in the thread below for stations in your area. Find the advertisers and let them know you're boycotting them until they remove ads from these stations.

It's a basic point, but one that needs to be repeated: If right-wingers and their views were popular, they would not be so desperate to control mass media & social media nor to use government power to silence everyone else, and they wouldn't need oligarchs pumping billions into amplifying them.

Free-market reformer needs a bailout.

Releasing a Star Wars trailer like "break glass in case of PR nightmare.'

Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after our government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for free speech in our nation. More than 400 artists across our nation signed on to say: We refuse to be silenced by those in power.

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.

An Arizona man is facing felony charges for threatening to shoot up a gay bar to avenge Charlie Kirk. He was convinced the shooter had "transgender ideology." Fortunately, he was stopped, but this is on the media for running with the erroneous WSJ reporting. www.azfamily.com/2025/09/19/p...
