To come out and just say "our propaganda is no longer working because young people are seeing the carnage in Gaza with their own eyes" and then paint it as the younger generation being "stupider" than you is SO FUCKING INSULTING HOLY SHIT

"THINGS HAPPEN" -DJT "This is a blatant lie. The U.S. intelligence community concluded that MBS “approved an operation in Istanbul, Turkey to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.” @anntelnaes.bsky.social

"Nearly a week after the spill, neither BP nor any regulators would provide any estimates of how much jet fuel spilled...the fuel spilled about 2,000 feet from where the pipeline crosses the Snohomish River." We cannot get rid of fossil fuels fast enough.

NEW: Court blocks Texas's mid-decade redistricting, finding it likely unconstitutional, with DOJ largely to blame. "DOJ Asked Texas to Engage in Unlawful Racial Gerrymandering," Judge Jeffrey Brown, a Trump appointee, wrote for the 2-1 majority. Texas is appealing to the Supreme Court. Law Dork:

Noem is mad about the whistles. Good job everyone.

The Museum of the City of New York has $70 million in assets and net income of over half a million in 2023, $3.5 million in 2022. But its director doesn't want to pay a copy editor.

I care that the art I engage with is made by humans, regardless of how "good" the tech may become, that is the underlying contention, that is important to me and cannot be bargained away. I'm sick of hearing about compromise this and middle ground that, do you want to hear my compromise? Remove it.

🚨🧵 by @1goodtern.bsky.social about Covid & eye problems: "Eye problems are one of the most common after-effects of covid infections, and one of the most common issues of Long Covid - but they're not talked about much" 100-tweet 🧵(yep, that's the count from TR): threadreaderapp.com/thread/19904...

This is how you know that it's not about the money. Because if it were, then libraries would not keep being defunded.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Is there any possibility the (mostly White-owned) sports media has "forgotten" about CTE not just bc it's the holidaze season & they want athletes on the field, but also bc the majority of sufferers are Black ...? #GreedAndRacism www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaFn...

There is no more stark testament to the very real damage done than this: "Two legendary footballers—Hall of Fame linebacker Junior Seau and Chicago Bears safety Dave Duerson—shot themselves in the chest so their brains could be studied for CTE, which can only be conclusively diagnosed postmortem."

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

This just puts more emphasis on the Supreme Court's racial gerrymandering case already heard last month. That has always been the ballgame. apnews.com/article/redi...

The misconceived notion that the way to deal with the backlog of asylum claims is to duplicate the system so as to have exit assessments too. In essence: addressing the problem of a queue by forming another queue, just as long. Daft, as well as cruelly unsettling.

Ireland’s big moment is what World Cup qualifying is all about Troy Parrott’s last-gasp goal and DR Congo’s triumph proved once again why the best football is almost never about the football - @jonawils.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Nope. The headline should actually read “Astronomers using ML discover quasars acting as lenses”

"And this brings us to a central and often overlooked cause of the global financial crisis: Brain Bubbles. This is the process wherein the intelligence of an inarguably intelligent person is inflated and valued beyond all reason, creating a dangerous accumulation of unhedged risk."

In April 2009, the Washington Post asked 10 writers to make the case for something that deserves to be tossed out as part of "spring cleaning." I chose Larry Summers. Better late than never. Unlocked version of my 16-year-old article below. naomiklein.org/why-we-shoul...

An endless amount of deranged details in this interview with Greg Bovino's sister, but most notably that his uncle produced the Jack Nicholson movie The Border and the depiction of the agent as corrupt radicalized him as a 12-yr-old. "Since then, he was like, 'Dude, I want to do Border Patrol.'"

Oh, so now it's fine to have a war on Christmas

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

She's been telling people that creep is wrong about everything for 20 years.

If a Black person is arrested in Mobile, Alabama, police might shoot them or otherwise use force against them. Cops are more likely to use deadly force against Black people than white people. This is "racial disparity in use of force." Boston PD was in the worst 1% of all cities. Worse than Mobile🤦🏿‍♂️

Larry Summers is 70. Firing him is not ruining his life.

Yesterday, a Republican tried to give me holy water and Trump perfume because I’m “demonic.” Extremely normal stuff coming from an extremely normal party.

If standing up for the victims of pedophilia and sex trafficking makes me “radical left,” then so be it. When every trail seems to lead back to the same group under this administration, and they’re still protecting a leading player? 👇🏾

“I was 14… I was 16… this was me when I met Epstein… there are thousands of us… time to let the secrets out of the shadows” Powerful ad from survivors ahead of a vote to tell us where each House rep stands on protecting kids vs protecting pedophiles.
