Damn. Truth to this

Not surprised to see Dr Oz promoting a quack cure for Autism today. Dr Oz has made a fortune pushing quack medicine. Leucovorin is used by cancer patients and has serious side effects, something neither Oz or Kennedy even mentioned. Two quacks in charge of the FDA. What could go wrong? #ProudBlue

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

"This program is illegal, unconstitutional, and deeply corrosive to civil rights and liberties. No amount of coerced 'consent' can make it otherwise." Stevie Glaberson on the Department of Homeland Security’s accelerated DNA collection program.

"kristi noem and corey lewandowski, who we can confirm are not only dating but running DHS together" absolutely cursed sentence

Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in. Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol. It's like his work never happened.

Dr. Oz is a large investor in and global advisor for iHerb, a company that sells supplements for folinic acid, which is the the non-prescription version of leucovorin, the medication which is being recommended for the treatment of autism by Dr. Oz.

this fwiw is an astoundingly poor understanding of how the new deal coalition took shape and reveals a real inability to grapple with its contradictions

I understand Miller doesn’t like being called Goebbels, but maybe - and I’m just spitballing here - he should stop plagiarizing Goebbels speeches

I abdicated my joy for work. Will not make that mistake again. Belated. Earth Wind and Fire Day Because we must not abdicate our joy. Particularly for these joyless, inhumane leeches. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs06...

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I wonder if his father said this to him when he was a little boy.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

For some reason I'm on Jared Golden's "might give me money" list. It might be good to ask @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social why he is doing a Whiskey Tasting fundraiser for the only House Democrat to vote _for_ the Republican budget.

Leavitt on the TikTok deal: "There will be seven seats on the board that controls the app in the US and six of those seats will be Americans. The data and privacy will be led by one of America's greatest tech companies, Oracle, and the algorithm will also be controlled by America as well."

NPR: “Regarding Antifa…” TRUMP: “Who are you with?” NPR: “NPR.” TRUMP: “You’re still here? Won’t be for long… does Antifa have anything to do with your network?”

Stephen Miller talks like he was kicked in the head by an especially racist mule

This infuriates me.

Garbage in, garbage out.

The Fierce Urgency of Condemning Political Violence lasted almost an entire week 🤔

Trump posts on Truth Social that he’s ordered another strike on what he claims is a drug trafficking boat. He’s presented no evidence that his victims in the three previous strikes were running drugs. Drug trafficking is also not a capital crime. Trump is murdering people in international waters.

This is wildly illegal and he has no authority to do this

Or maybe that person is 97% bad? Likely 100%, because there are always sniveling sycophants.

In light of the increasing prevalence of pepper balls and tear gas at the Broadview site, I just want to reshare this toolkit from Vision Change Win, which includes best practices for treating tear gas and pepper spray exposure. You can also find this info in the appendix of Let This Radicalize You.

I don't want to say anything... but I do think that these stories need to contextualize what they mean by "farmers" - some of these are not small family farmers but very well off land owners who hire undocumented people who they treat terribly for profit. AND their workers are punished not them.

Eight months in, and Trump/Vought have already accomplished implementing 47% of Project 2025, per this tracker: www.project2025.observer/en

2022 — a confession:

the skeleton key to understanding these people is that they genuinely think you are a drone who will do what you’re told if the TV says it

I had a dream about this video last night. Pertinent. Damn good song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9gK...

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law. they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence. the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear. do not offer it to them.

SNL should run a normal show, with the slight addition that every sketch has three or four men dressed up like ICE agents and FCC officials standing in the background looking menacing. Maybe they disappear Colin Jost in the middle of Weekend Update too.

Kind of reeks of Small Penis Syndrome to me. I am older than dirt, and have known men like this. Beyond the bloviating, there is little there. On many levels.

In a kinder, gentler time, Marilyn Hagerty’s very earnest review of the Olive Garden was an internet sensation. The internet used to bring us joy. RIP to one of the greats: www.grandforksherald.com/news/marilyi...

Kroger will lay off ~1,000 employees. In December, it announced $7.5B in stock buybacks – which juice stock prices, enriching shareholders and boosting CEO pay. Just so happens that Kroger's last CEO was paid 457x its typical employee in 2024. Textbook corporate greed.

A 21 year old Black Man was founding hanging from a tree in MS and local law enforcement doesn’t seem to give a shit. Does the name Emmitt still ring any bells? Black people DO NOT hang themselves from trees, even if they have suicidal ideation. We know the trauma that causes other Black people

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

Any experts on School desegregation in Georgia follow me? I want some primary/secondary source recommendations on school desegregation in Baldwin County Georgia. Whats online is very thin

Last November I wrote that Republicans wanted to “socialize the means of cancellation” through the creation of a “Snitch State.” Feels relevant now. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

My optimism here is limited, but I really hope centrist institutions like universities and major news organizations understand that the plan is for the govt to dismantle them. They do not care if you fire your columnists or discipline staff for accurately quoting Kirk. They just want us all gone.

Blaming the entire Democratic Party for the actions of three individuals who weren’t, as far as we know, even Democratic voters and then telling Democrats they need to tone down *their* hateful rhetoric is a hell of a combination

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

It's all wildly illegal & unconstitutional. The president doesn't get to do this stuff. Except now he does, because we're in the midst of the worst Article I constitutional crisis in American history. Presidency ending stuff for <anyone> in the last 80 years. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

As I just mentioned on MSNBC, note that Vance is talking about *speech* here, not action. The action data is clear.

Second.

I spoke with the NYT Magazine a while ago but have now heard that an editor said they can't quote me because I'm "too liberal" to be a trusted source. You know what's always the first example conservatives use to claim I'm "too liberal"? My work in the 1619 Project, organized by the NYT Magazine.

This is insane. THEY ARE HIS OWN WORDS. Presumably he would be proud of them — he certainly was never shy about saying them himself. But I suppose sharing them now might be quite inconvenient for those currently celebrating him, and posthumously rebranding him as “someone who did politics right.”
