My most authoritarian opinion is that the MMR vaccine should be mandatory, with only medical (not religious or floofy) exemptions allowed. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

Truly, we are witnessing the start of a new Dark Age

What pisses me off the most about the wanton destruction of the Washington Post is that Bezos will never, ever be pressed on it to his face. He'll never have to squirm and justify the $70m bribe for the Melania movie in light of the layoffs.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

My prediction for how 2026 is going to go.

Let Rep. Thompson give a lesson in Reporting 101 to about half the DC press corps.

Every day brings us closer to IT HAPPENING.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Remember when they said the reason they caved in March was so they could get a better deal in September lmao

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

Put this up in The Louvre

This is an incredible story and worth reading all the way through to get to the *delicious* last sentence. Exquisite.

JFC this is a tough but *essential* listen. @newsagents.bsky.social carefully and methodically dismantle not just 'Prince' Andrew but all the other abusive men out there.

No Kings except Elvis - at the Corte Madera protest in Marin

MVP of the Corte Madera No Kings protest. Sign game is on point and bringing the energy!

I assume most of the actual reporting pointed out that this is bullshit, but this is one of those cases where even repeating the claim in a chyron or headline is irresponsible, unless the headline itself makes clear that it's not true.

me telling my grandkids what it was like to have vaccines

They have moms of autistic kids at this presser and not autistic adults speaking. Very unsurprising.

this is really serious. if it continues, we’ll start to see states make do their own drug labels in some manner, possibly through collabs with other states, similar to what we are seeing with ACIP recs

The President sounds like this all the time these days and is clearly non compos mentis but it just gets a pass from Congress, from the courts, from the media, from Wall Street, from every institution, because it's Trump.

Trump says "Some groups [RFK suggests the Amish] don't take vaccines or pills and have no autism. No autism". One of the most shockingly inappropriate, inaccurate, and dangerous medical statements I've ever heard coming from a President. Utterly beyond the pail.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Just cancelled Disney Plus as a result of ABC's cowardly decision to pull Kimmel. Their actions are deeply un-American. #boycottDisney

Absolutely !!!insane!!! to me that the UK government, lobby and newspapers litigate at length every minor infraction by the BBC, rival newspapers, or what some random columnist has posted. But all of them just carry on not even commenting about this media owner. He’s not hiding, he’s telling you!

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

Horrors of Trump detention centre: Lisburn man tells his story after arrest for 'looking like a Mexican' Lee Stinton was lifted by US immigration police on an American street — in an incident he compared to a kidnapping. Here, he tells us his story.

People will say this doesn't matter, but it does. These signs *create* the reality and facade of Trump as master builder.

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

Worried about the constant barrage of depressing news surrounding us? @robmanuelyeah.bsky.social has a solution: wolves.

@reckless.bsky.social - do you think Tim Cook will ever be asked/pressed about this in a serious interview?

Hey @crooked.com - disappointed to see y'all move to Substack. Rings a little hollow to see you complaining about no-one standing up to the admin, yet you make a decision to move your business over to a platform that goes against your whole vibe. Beehiiv, Ghost, and ButtonDown are right there.

“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.

Adrian Andrew Martinez, a U.S. citizen, tried to intervene as federal immigration agents questioned another man in a Walmart parking lot. ICE agents violently swarm him. Now missing. By law, he has a right to an attorney. This is how police states operate.

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

This guy was convicted of stealing more than $10 million in taxpayer dollars, ordered to pay $4.4 million of it back as restitution, but now the taxpayers will get nothing because Trump gave him a full pardon after accepting $1 million from his mother. I need you to spread this story everywhere!

Who made the decision to block billions in federal child care funding? That's right, RFK Jr. made the decision to block federal child care funding.

Good god, listening to this man talk is *infuriating*. A mild-mannered, condescending, utter failure of a person. The whole piece by @walkerbragman.bsky.social is worth reading if you feel your blood pressure is too low.

Trump fired over 1,000 National Park staff in February, and most still haven’t been reinstated. The $45 million he’s wasting on a military parade for his birthday could have paid their salaries for over a year.

Amen

For anyone unfamiliar, Trump thinks this is real. Not the crackpot “decoding” but the actual photoshopped text on the fingers added for clarity

Utilities are buying huge amounts of stationary storage from Tesla, which is driving some of its only growth. Boycott organizers please take note of this!

Is there a call script or messaging framework out there for calling elected officials objecting to #RFK and his plans for #autism?
