I know it may be *rude* but you guys are protecting one man’s ego at the cost of all of us. It’s not right.

He talks about moving a World Cup game out of Chicago because it has high crime, which is interesting because there is no game slated for Chicago. But Dallas has a World Cup game, and Dallas has a higher violent crime rate than Chicago, and Dallas has a Republican mayor … oh, OK, I see it now.

Is this supposed to be a threat? They did this exact thing while the government was open

A particular characteristic of fascism is the fetishization of masculinity and the subordination of women. Fascism is virulently male supremacist, uber machismo, and rife with sexual anxiety about gender roles. This is 100% Fascism.

Easy messaging win for Dems, "you can't have [good thing] because Trump is spending $20B to subsidize the failures of some libertarian clown abroad." And, no, Dems shouldn't support it because it's "foreign aid." It's a right-wing clown bailout. Supporting it trivializes and undermines foreign aid.

FBI: "There was anti-ICE writing on the bullet." *flash over to the scene of the crime* *bullet has "anti-ICE" written on it* This is not real. This is a Family Guy bit.

I wrote about the Trump administration’s false claims about Tylenol, and the moral—not scientific—burdens they place on pregnant women’s bodies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This sort of stuff is extremely dangerous. People will die. Playing footsie with the lunatics running public health in America is extremely unwise.

This is very powerful. #MentalHealth

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 speech is such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than the president of the United States. It could well be the low point of US public diplomacy in our history.

We’re a global embarrassment.

Often mistaken for strength.

5x as many infants died in 1955 as they do now. These people are lunatics.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

They want to find a culprit for autism diagnoses (based in a fear of difference) so they did what they always do, they found the easiest answer which provides a clear path to blaming and shaming women, that will lead well intentioned people to end up facing completely unnecessary pain in the future.

"When the right doesn't have power, they turn to appeals on principle. But when they do have it, those principles become an impediment, so they are discarded. How many Republicans have you heard talking about corruption or an independent judiciary or due process lately?" — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

I’d never seen this one.

It’s been sad this year watching how the White House press corps refuses to back each other up. Here a female journalist is insulted and denigrated and the next male reporter just moves on to a new question. You’re all in this together, folks. Time & again, they won’t stand up for their colleagues.

This is the other big story people aren't paying attention to but you really need to widen your lens. The broligarchy is coming for all of our milkshakes. fair.org/home/as-elli...

I hate telling this story, but when tear gas is in the news... telling always feels importantm Tear gas is an abortifacient. When I was tear gassed, we were trying for a baby. The following day, I bled in a way I never have before. Like no period of my life before or since. Horror movie stuff.

Dutch late night TV has its take

George. Schlopadopolous.

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

😕

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Everything wrong with the Democratic Party in a nutshell. 95 House Democrats (including Jeffries!) just voted to honor the life & legacy of Charlie Kirk. Only 58 voted no. 38 voted present. clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/rol...

ILLINOIS — Trump’s Gestapo violently throws female congressional candidate @KatAbughazaleh to the ground to the ground

Donald Trump, the first US president to work on commission, a “tribute” to his deal-making “genius.”

'elderly sexual predator' does cover two of Cuomo's key bases of support

•ABC: fires Kimmel for mocking Trump •CBS: fires Colbert for mocking Trump •ABC: fires Moran for slamming Stephen Miller •MSNBC: fires Matt Dowd for saying “hateful thoughts lead to hateful actions” •FOX: Champions Brian Kilmeade as he calls for Nazi state murder of America’s 600K homeless people

The Right telling anyone to “tone down the rhetoric” is like Donald Trump telling anyone not to rape a whole bunch of kids

What the USA thinks it's #1 in (and its actual rankings): Life Expectancy: 46th FreePress: 42nd Healthcare: 30th Education: 26th Happiness: 23rd Freedom: 17th What the USA is #1 in: Military Spending Number of Billionaires Incarceration Bankruptcy filings Medical debt Gun deaths

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

A friend of mine often quotes what he says is a Korean proverb: The traitor has the best patriot costume

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.

Exactly. Politics in the US is no longer a debate about which policies to adopt within a liberal framework of accepted rules. It's now a blood sport and one side playing it like it's still cricket won't work

The “Debate Me Bro” Grift: How Trolls Weaponized The Marketplace Of Ideas Among the attempts to create hagiographic eulogies of Charlie Kirk, I’ve seen more than a few people suggest that Kirk should be respected for being willing to talk to “those who disagree with him” as a sign that he was…

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

ALSOBROOKS: Did you receive a call from the secretary upon reports an active shooter at CDC HQ had shot at employees? MONAREZ: I did not speak to the secretary on the 8th or any successive day A: So are you telling me the HHS secretary failed to even give you a courtesy call? M: He didnt call me

extremely conservative christian cafe opens with a “this is home” mural the “e” is also their logo, it is on everything

PANTHEON: “.. Consumers have so far suffered only about one-third of the tariff-related price rises that we think they ultimately will face. In addition, growth in wage and salary income likely will slow .. “.. we expect real consumption to rise at a mere 0.5-to-1% annualized pace in Q4.”

So right-wing oligarchs now control X, Facebook, TikTok, WaPo, Fox News, CBS...and others not controlled by them are capitulating. Do I have that right?

1/ South Korea's government has announced that it is launching an investigation into human rights abuses said to have been carried out by the United States' ICE agency against South Korean workers deported from Georgia, following further damaging testimony from the deportees. ⬇️

No notes

The threat here is a sign of weakness and insecurity. A sad tired old king, enfeebled and unhappy with the throne he’s won.

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin? TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

US President back-pedalling furiously after his administration treated some innocent hard-working Koreans like they were innocent hard-working Latinos.
