For those of you who have been looking into that very bizarre/dangerous “Expose Charlie’s Murderers” website, I’ve got a piece coming in a couple hours that raises a whole lot of questions about who might be behind it and who they might be connected to.

This has been coming from the beginning. All major democracy-supporting NGOs and foundations have their legal complaints already drafted. And in time, perhaps not even much time, they will win their cases. What is needed most in the meantime is courage. Keep saying what you think, doing what you do.

I'm not being sarcastic when I say it might be better for society if politicians were the ones to log off. A lot of government officials use their taxpayer-funded salaries primarily to get attention on the internet, and it is bad.

This one is easy: youtu.be/qPOTEs_yTJo

This horrifying. Every MSM outlet that continues on X should confronted with the conduct of this disgraceful owner who they legitimize with their presence.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

NEW: Mercenary spyware is coming to the US. ICE just quietly unsuspended their contract with spyware maker #Paragon. Remember them? Caught earlier this year being used to hack Italian journalists. This is bad, let's talk about how we got here 1/ jackpoulson.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

wow. we’d heard rumors to this effect. now it’s more than rumor.

OMfuckingG: The very #BrokenTimes frames cute names for concentration camps as "all in good fun;" puts scare quotes around "disgrace." They've lost it. Appalling. Sick. Wrong. All in Good Fun, or a ‘Disgrace’? Names of Detention Centers Divide Americans www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...

@calmatters.org Youre helping Trump with framing like this. Please take this fight seriously because it may be all over if we don't regain the House. calmatters.org/politics/202...

needs more dick punching

This flew by my radar this week, but massively important: the 5th circuit court of appeals ruled that the NLRB’s structure unconstitutional. It is a huge blow to “American workers who hope to organize their workplaces without fear of retaliation. It represents a partial negation of the New Deal…”

From 2019-2024, Lowe's spent $46.6 BILLION on stock buybacks. That's enough to give each of its 273k employees a $28k bonus for the next six years. Instead, it paid its CEO 659x what it paid median employees. And we STILL think corporate tax breaks will magically trickle down?

Treasury is required to produce a report to Congress related to Direct File, the free tax filing option that the current administration intends to kill. They've created a survey with a bunch of leading questions. The survey deserves some responses supportive of the program to counteract its framing:

We'll see if this causes as much agita among the elite classes as the proposal for a few state-run grocery stores in poor parts of NYC.

Pieces of shit. There has to be accountability after all of this.

CPJ filed a declaration of support in the case of reporter Mario Guevara, as part of the @aclu.org’s habeas petition that outlines how ICE is punishing him for livestreaming law enforcement. We demand his immediate release. Read more👇 cpj.org/2025/08/cpj-... #FreeMario

@dfl.org Your revocation of Fateh's endorsement based on procedural bullshit you all made up is fucking pathetic. Get on the train or go down in flames. Dems always living up to the image of being total fucking pussies who have to make up bullshit rules post-facto to deny an endorsement....pathetic.

Trump's EPA has proposed a rollback of the Endangerment Finding (which classifies fossil fuels and/or GHG emissions from fossil fuels as health threats so that the EPA can regulate them). Here's where people and companies can submit public comments in response... www.regulations.gov/docket/EPA-H...

It's really pissing me off that all the other Democrats in Texas just signed the fascist abetting permission slips to allow for an officer to tail them 24/7 instead of linking arms with the 1 rep who refused & is now held hostage. They should've all walked out together & forced R's to get physical.

I don't know how long we can sit by and watch this shit over and over. They're taking US citizens and nobody knows to where, knows for how long, and there's nobody being held accountable.

Oh you absolutely useless wankers

This would more or less halt the ability of scientists and academics from visiting the US to give talks, attend meetings and workshops, collaborate with peers on research and I think that is the primary point. 🧪

Important details from this story: 1) Yet another news-break by student journalists (this time @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social) www.thecrimson.com/article/2025... 2) Harvard saying "see you in court," not "let's make a deal." 3) Per Garber, WH/MAGA leaked news of a "deal." NYT then ran with it.

If you'd rather not obey America's duly passed & enacted air-quality laws ... just email Trump! He's got you.

Tariffs without Congressional approval are taxation without representation. Time to throw tea into the harbor.

The massive list of suspended UCLA grants came out today: 300 NSF and 500 NIH grants. I am miraculously not on the list, but this is devastating. Science will be lost, progress will be frozen, people will lose jobs, and careers in science and medicine are being destroyed. This is not ok.

Holy shit we’re legitimately at “some cancer screenings are too woke.”

I think it's time for us to view Kennedy's actions as an attack not just on our public health but the country itself. He's an incredible monster.

Big tech promotes the story that since ChatGPT burst onto the scene, AI has been so popular it's rushed to meet the demand. The reality is different.
