Yup. So much manipulation. Got no time for it. www.cnn.com/2025/10/08/b...

Welp, this naturally follows from giving people stuck in the 20th century authority.

153 kids are in quarantine in South Carolina. 118 kids in Minneapolis. This is what happens when we ignore the science. When we stop vaccinating, long eradicated diseases come back. The kids deserve better than this. Measles can disable. It can kill. And it’s completely preventable.

If you're watching the situation in Chicago from afar & want to help, on the off chance you have spare $$, you can give to the Midwest Immigrant Bond Fund, which posts "bond for individuals held in the custody of ICE w ties to IL, IN, KY & WI who cannot afford to pay" www.mibfc.org/helpusgrow

Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile debuts tonight on The Onion's YouTube channel at 7 p.m. ET. Finally somebody will release some dang Epstein Files if you know what I'm sayin'!!!

Find your nearest #NoKings2 Rally on Oct 18 and be there with bells on. It matters.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

Wild list of errors - significant but subtle enough that someone not paying attention would let is pass - generated by Microsoft's generative software INSIDE Excel formulas We are so SO MUCH TROUBLE office-watch.com/2025/facts-a...

Influencers should put their money where their mouth is. Prove you’re appalled & regret your vote by attending protests. Organize your base. Call everything out with a megaphone. “Oopsie” doesn’t cut it. Lives are being destroyed home & abroad. They can & should do more if they’re sincere.

you're already seeing & will see more stories about how various attempts at reducing energy use "aren't working," etc -- those are propaganda. this is fantastic

Why wait, Virginia? You already know you are voting for Spanberger - Hashmi - Jones, right? virginia-early-voting.glide.page/dl/d0a5f4

I would not have guessed this. Even using renewable energy vertical farming had a greater CO2 footprint and, even more surprisingly, a greater land use footprint. www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2025/09/are-...

Wanting to share this was a fun way to realize I have an email subscription but wasn't following Stoehr (@editorialboard.bsky.social). Found him back in my Twitter days. He is worthy. www.editorialboard.com/how-do-you-m...

📣 UPDATED: Two new polls confirm: Out of the gate, Americans STRONGLY support extending the #ACA tax credits. 🚨 Meanwhile, 58% of enrollees barely knew about the looming danger as of a week ago. acasignups.net/25/10/03/two...

I suppose speculating about the lack of a BLS report is inevitable, from the "nothing to see here" crowd to the "sky is falling so they won't report" crowd. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Seems silly, tbh. It takes no genius to look around and see that the job market isn't great.

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

AOC and Bernie telling people what’s really happening during the government shutdown

The best metric for me is assessing how I feel after spending time with someone. Whether they are love bombing or withholding, a narcissist is manipulative and transactional. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Oh, my heart. 😓 Horror.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Not “redundant”, but data they see no use for since they DO NOT CARE whether people are hungry. www.usda.gov/about-usda/n...

they are destroying US climate science on purpose, and it hurts my heart. but take it from an MIT-trained nerdass: all most of us need to know is that we have to stop burning stuff stop burning stuff for heat stop burning stuff for make car go stop burning stuff for power we have the tools

Someone should probably inform the White House's "AI & Crypto Czar" that no one is forcing AI companies to train their models on Wikipedia

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

Very thorough list for those wishing to hit them in the wallet. psychopete1.substack.com/p/psycho-pet...

Trump’s deployment of troops to Portland is a dangerous escalation of authoritarianism. Now is the time to find our own ways of standing up and fighting back to preserve our democracy. Fellow vets: we need you to muster. And those serving: you can refuse an unlawful order as you may receive it.

we need evidence of two things: first, that trump can distinguish fantasy from reality and second, that trump is actually president

They are robbing us blind. It’s what they do. Should anyone pay taxes without a full audited accounting of where our money is?

www.toodamnhigh.org And what can we do about that? (Hint: “drill, baby, drill” doesn’t lower consumer costs.)

Donald Trump is unleashing masked federal agents and military troops into our neighborhoods — dragging people off the streets, terrorizing families, and treating American communities like occupied zones. Congress has the power to stop this abuse of power.

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

The Silence of Others warns us of fascism’s long shadow. The discovery of my friend’s grandfather’s body, Timoteo Mendieta, a victim of Franco, is documented here. His daughter Ascensión, seen in the film, fought all her life to recover his body for proper burial. She died at peace at 93 in 2019.

I do not live in one of the select cities where it will be released for only one day, Oct 2. Sadness. But it is supposed to be available online after that, so guess what I am doing on Oct 3rd?

Starbucks unions are practicing picketing as the company abuses its workers and denies them a fair contract. This is your reminder to not cross a picket line and support workers! NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE.

I have voted for what I perceive to be the fatter bear. #fatbearweek2025
