"The National Trust argues that Trump, by fast-tracking the project, has committed multiple violations of the Administrative Procedures Act and the National Environmental Policy Act, while also exceeding his constitutional authority by not seeking congressional approval for a project of this scale."

it's actually kinda funny in a way to get to the finish line of curing cancer and having the government go eh you know what. never mind

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Please don’t rip us off and upload our work on Internet Archive or YouTube. We are working hard and spending a lot of money to get these films restored and screened around the world. They’ll eventually be on blu ray so we appreciate your patience.

DOGE had two objectives: protect Musk's illegal activity from legal exposure and to steal data for Peter Thiel’s Palantir database and his own AI training. #DOGE

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

One of my favorite Douglas Adams quotes: “All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others.” More timely today than ever, don't you think? 💙 #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #BookSky

This is almost word for word what xenophobes in the 1930s and 1940s said about Miller's Jewish ancestors and relatives. He's so hateful he couldn't possibly recognize that of course.

Seems like a weird thing to tweet on the day when your boss said he’d pardon someone convicted of sending 400 tons of cocaine into the US.

This is murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Trump has done so many worse things that tear down the East Wing of the White House but each time I'm reminded of it I revert to WTAF fuck mode and think he !!!!demolished the East Wing of the White House!!!

As a corollary to this: there are a lot of artists who will black-list you from BUYING art if you have AI slop in your profile. Seeing AI is an instant, immediate red flag for most artists because it's a signal that you do not respect artists (yes, that includes using it "until I can get real art").

The effortless shift in discourse from people insisting that anything that isn't a white statue of a dead roman dude isn't art like 3 years ago to demanding that they be treated as visionary artists for typing" x-men mystique big boobs she's my girlfriend" into a prompt window

History lesson

ICE Offers Up to $280 Million to Immigrant-Tracking ‘Bounty Hunter’ Firms The Trump government is hiring thousands of BOUNTY HUNTERS to expand their violent kidnappings and terrorism throughout the country, showering private “surveillance firms” with hundreds of millions of dollars.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone. Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work. Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

A story in three parts: 1. Trump promises voters he’ll cut consumers’ energy costs in half in his first year 2. Trump fails, but pretends he succeeded based on data that doesn’t exist 3. a growing number of Americans who can’t afford their electricity bills are facing power shutoffs

They may not be the heroes we need, but they're the heroes we have, and they deserve their flowers. Mushrooms?

Trump Defends Demolition Of Yggdrasil, Ancient Tree Of Life

I’ve been writing about politics in some capacity for over 25 years now and it’s still stunning how the mainstream media refuses to tell the public basic truth

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

BREAKING: Immigration officers in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras after the use of tear gas and other actions against protesters, a judge rules.

The most crossplatform UI framework isn't a Web Browser. It's VT100 terminal. The programs using ANSI Escape Codes will very likely be usable in 10-20 years unchanged. And this isn't a good thing, btw. API politics got so bad we can't agree on how to put a triangle on the screen.

Isn't this one of the teaching examples in the MAGA/Tate pick up artist manual?

Second threat walked back after a couple days.

So, the president of the United States casually mentioned that he took away free speech. Just in case you missed that.

"What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid."

“Trump is taking the US in an extreme direction, attacking freedom of speech, having masked secret police kidnapping people in broad daylight and cracking down on institutions and the courts. When the president is this volatile and authoritarian, of course we have to be prepared for anything”

The MMR vaccine is one of the most stunningly effective medical therapeutics in existence. It’s also safer than most of your everyday activities. This is simply an attempt to stop people from vaccinating.

Found and reposted because truth needs to be spoken, especially when there’s so much falsehood being pushed.

Somehow I’d always suspected it… www.tumblr.com/myjetpack/79...

This is why truth in journalism matters. Call out the liars for money! We are suffering the consequences of the "liberal" press being too scared to call out lies by Republicans - AND by Faux News and the further-right ecosystem. Only truth gets us past this. www.dailykos.com/story/2025/9...

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Stop appeasing the bullies. It never works. The only thing that works is to stand up and hit them back and make it HURT. They may hit you hard in the moment, but they won't come back - there will be easier targets. www.dailykos.com/story/2025/9...

Status report, "How I Lost It" dep't: Making my way to #Luzern on my way to the #ReichenbachFalls. And (on the train from Zurich HB to Luzern) what must I be subjected to? A...production guy of some kind (YouTuber? probably) looking at video on his phone and commenting interminably on it. (1/3)

This is a clear marker of both stupidity and narcissism. Too narcissistic to understand that other people grow up speaking other languages, not just English, and too stupid to accept that to communicate with others, you need to use language they can understand.

pretending you were asking for more information was the best way to try to get the humans to realize they were doing something stupid.

They arrived with no judicial warrant, were told to leave, but before leaving, 10 agents urinated on the grounds. That is not "I really had to pee." That is trying to send a message. And it's a criminal act by each of them.
