Don't look away. Alex Pretti.

Mortality rates: Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000 Penicillin 2/100K Viagra 4/100K Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K) More people have died in ICE detention centers already in 2026 than will die from mifepristone all year. These politicians are extremely dangerous to women.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I read, I understand, but now, how do I simplify this down to a pithy slogan I can put on a protest sign. Is it just: ICE = losers¹ Footnote 1: Scharpf et al. 2019.

I don't watch the news via TV often for lots of reasons, but I think it's important to see what they do and how they do it, because of how it shapes the worldview of others.

Some important new government policy that Native Americans might be interested in:

Tonight we are overwhelmed by sadness. And thinking of these words passed down through centuries of grief. Goodnight 💚

Watch. Watch. Watch, damn you, watch.

The right wants to talk about fraud? Somali fraud? Okay, give me 60 seconds.

🚨🚨🚨 EMERGENCY UPDATE 🚨🚨🚨 IT'S 2026 AND RICKY RUBIO JUST DUNKED IN A REAL GAME 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

They read "The Punisher" too, and proliferated the wrong messages.

Saying ”Grok apologized” is like If I type “YOU’RE A BITCH” into Speak-And-Spell and tell you “Speak-An-Spell says you’re a bitch”

I'm not going to check if this is real, I just want to live in a world where it's true.

Never stop resisting.

Very often horrific, usually seemingly cruel on purpose but also incredibly negligent and bumbling www.404media.co/zuckerberg-s...

you ever think of a pun but then want to look it up in case it's the title of a published scientific paper, & while it isn't you now have to share the study? Anyway who called it enduring erectile dysfunction after experiencing a pandemic and not Schlong Covid pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

The future of AI, over and over and over, forever. 😆

Show's up! @brookegladstone.bsky.social and @micahloewinger.bsky.social take a look back at 2025 and OTM's coverage of the biggest stories in media:

A message for the New Year. Don't be a fucking fathead dope.

Fair use.

This article should be paired with The Smiths "Please please please let me get what I want" youtu.be/t0co3CgoMMU Thinking about "want" while in church, at Christmas, between our homeless parishioners, and my children hoping for Santa, and Buddhist thought "want is the root of suffering."

I read Oliver Sacks in grad school, as an additional text in our Neuropsychology coursework. It's disappointing to learn he fabricated much of the stories that I know influenced the careers and motivated the curiosity of myself and my peers in the field. archive.ph/dXcSU

When I interviewed Spinal Tap and Marty DiBergi this summer, none of them broke character, for the whole hour. Except Rob Reiner, once, losing it when Michael McKean's David St Hubbins talked about minimalism. I didn't use this in the feature and hadn't published any audio, but this is joyful.

Listen, if this is not the lead story on Slam and Jam, @albabycakes.bsky.social , I just don't know what you're doing. www.poundingtherock.com/spurs-discus...

Nothing weird here, Al. Rock out. youtube.com/watch?v=COZc...

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

To paraphrase DMX, you’re going to make me lose my mind.

Did you know that less than 0.5% of philanthropic giving goes to Native Americans. Here are Native-led places you can donate this #GivingTuesday.🧵

Did you know that schools are in large part where the Thanksgiving myth was born? Alarmed by what your kid learned about Thanksgiving at school? You are not alone. After a wave of immigration in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Americans grew increasingly worried that their...🧵

Isaiah Joe making this shot is an underrated highlight against Portland. And one......

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ... ... listen to Steve Wozniak.

Whoops, The Onion has accidentally torn apart the Detroit Lions fanbase.

Also for your listening pleasure

I’m howling.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

Today's reminder that good people Don't. Break. Picket. Lines. There's no coffee you need so badly that you can't support a union! Support your local coffee shop instead!

STARBUCKS WORKERS WILL BEGIN STRIKING ON 11/13 IF STARBUCKS DOESN’T COME THROUGH IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. Join them by not purchasing Starbucks products until the strike is over!!! Pass it on.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Just an overall great night. We're so back.

Sharks absolutely get cancer, and people claiming otherwise are pseudoscientific grifters preying on the desperate. Even if sharks did not get cancer, eating shark would not cure your cancer any more than eating LeBron James would make you better at basketball.

It's not called The Eptstein Ballroom! Stop calling it that!

Watch this. Open your eyes to this brutality. ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man. Now share this. Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back. You have power. Even sharing this video exerts that power.

In the meantime, I'll listen to this as needed: youtu.be/kSQ8tZ35t4U

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

Tribal colleges have expanded access to higher education for Native students. With median tuition of just $3,572, these affordable institutions focus on serving Native American students while teaching #Indigenous history, culture and language. buff.ly/GUqgs5H?

I'mma gets ready naow for next Monday...

I got a sentence for you, @nytimes.com : Go fuck yourselves.

I also joined because of poverty in a way. My family wasn’t necessarily poor but they wouldn’t pay for me to go to college. So I left home via the only method I saw available to me. He’s completely correct on all points here and I wish there were more white vets that spoke out about this. 👏👏👏
