BREAKING: The DOJ has filed its opposition to my motion for expedited processing of the EPSTEIN TRAINING VIDEOS. They're arguing that there's NO WIDESPREAD PUBLIC INTEREST. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-doj-re...

Some thoughts on some things I've been dealing with lately. 1/6

Sigh

Wow -- Russia reportedly plotted last year to plant bombs on US-bound flights (gift link) giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

China was the largest export market for American farmers in 2024. They bought 27 metric tons of soybeans last year. They stopped buying in 2025 when Trump started his trade war. These are simple, obvious, basic facts. bsky.app/profile/atru...

pals you gotta quit spotify

RFK Jr has suggested he wants to end access to mifeprostone; it's the MAHA war on women >100 studies have examined the effectiveness/safety of the abortion pills mifepristone & misoprostol. "All conclude that the pills are a safe method for terminating a pregnancy" (www.nytimes.com/interactive/...)

This is nothing short of mandatory right wing indoctrination at Texas high schools & colleges. Wow.

Would like to add to the discourse that the "too many ADHD diagnoses" is likely pretty gendered. Strong element of women now seeking help rather than putting up with things.

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

It's got less spyware. It doesn't have a subscription. It has buttons. It generally works and if not is easier to repair. It's not as easy to get hacked. They don't get constant pop ups and ads. They're fucking right too. Tech has just become rent seeking bloatware.

This brief article somehow managed to be both heartbreaking and uplifting in ways I didn’t expect. At all.

I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss. We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money

It's over. Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut. www.dailynebraskan.com/news/adminis...

Irish Minister for Health calls the UK's descent into transphobia out for what it is.

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Shopping small is meaningful!

It goes into that weird thing that genuine appreciation is somehow considered less intellectual than criticism but everybody is getting trained to be such a cynical unfeeling asshole nowadays that I find the smartest people often are the “hell yeah cool song/drawing/story/video” people

Who are all these grinning white people laughing at Trump's vile racism? h/t to @helenkennedy.bsky.social for pulling together a list. Shame on each & every one of them.

Everytime I advertise a product being accessible to disabled people. I lose sales because able-bodied people feel like it isn't for them as well. My products are for anyone that likes or wants them. You don't need to view yourself as disabled to want them too.

I'm at the combination

I am begging one, JUST ONE, congressional reporter to follow up with Mike Johnson by asking, "What are the American people to make of a Speaker of the House who tells us daily that he's not aware of what's happening on Capitol Hill and the White House?"

Joann essentially had a monopoly on sewing and private equity still manage to kill it. Private equity is cancer. Killing every niche hobby under the sun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VJx...

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

what our country needs now more than ever is a coalition of multi-ethnic little grandmas who will throw a shoe at you if you're racist

With SCREEN Act and KOSA on the legislative block this week, there couldn't be a better time for Fight's "Stop Online ID Checks" Week of Action. Today's action: Share and sign the petition. Find out more here: www.stoponlineidchecks.org

Loving the low key shade in this post

Every now & again, it's useful to say why I do all these eel history tweets. Mostly, it's because eels need our help. They're critically endangered, seeing a c.90% drop in population in the last decades. But it's hard to get people to care! 'Cause...eels are gross & slimy. 1/2 🗃️🧪

A police stop is enough to make someone less likely to vote, recent research has found. "Voting is a reflection of our belief that we’re part of the system, that our voice matters."

a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

When newspapers are owned by billionaires you get headlines like this 🤡 The Jeff Bezos- owned @washingtonpost.com , folks 🙃 🤦🏻‍♂️

Reasons to be positive/not give up/keep pushing

This is coming around again and I'm not prepared! But a barrage of crustaceans is coming regardless! 🦑🦀

🔥MUST-WATCH: “People on the right use the term ‘WOKE-ISM’ to deflect and distract from class politics. DOGE was a perfect example.” @evanjmez.bsky.social takes piers to school on jubilee. Every word of this. Worth the 90 seconds of your time.

EVERY house we looked at in altadena had a high fire risk, so we looked and bought in Pasadena even though there was less inventory. EVERY house i looked at in Altadena burned in Eaton, four weeks after we closed. Eaton missed our house by five blocks. the risk rating worked. shame it’s gone.

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism. Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

Spent the Thanksgiving break in costal Mississippi where BlueSky is unavailable. Each state really is like a different country. Anyway my kids caught lots of fish and I woke up early on my birthday and caught some mullet before 7am. Good times.

The presidential memo authorizing the Caribbean and East Pacific strikes shows an understanding that the strikes are illegal and contains a clause blocking prosecutions of the offenders. bsky.app/profile/greg...

Workers at the drinking water plant in Louisville, Ky. saw a sudden spike in the level of a 'forever chemical.' They traced it up the Ohio River to a factory embroiled in a pollution lawsuit. n.pr/3M80fdi

The reason the top 10% of income earners pay more than half of all tax revenue is NOT because they are taxed more than ever. Their tax rate has been cut FIVE times in the last 25 years. They are paying more because their INCOME has increased astronomically, where the income of the bottom half has

“One of those working most closely with Epstein, up to and including attempting to scrub his public image, was Bannon…Bannon, the man millions of MAGA fans trust to tell it like it is, stands revealed as one of the most cynical liars ever to mar this country.” www.thebulwark.com/p/steve-bann...

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.
