I prefer to think more about the end of Peter Thiel’s influence in business and politics.

Disney/ABC put Kimmel back on air. Sinclair & Nexstar are blocking him. These are state-licensed stations funded by ads, not Disney. Pressure advertisers, file FCC complaints, and push back on corporate censorship. #FreeSpeech #NoKings #Kimmel

🚨 Last day! to comment to the FTC on gender affirming care. The Episcopal Church supports 🏳️‍⚧️ care. Per resolution 2022-D066, we “advocate for access to gender affirming care in all forms as part of our Baptismal call to respect the dignity of every human being.” ⚓️ transequality.org/ftc-hands-of...

Wishing nothing but the best for Syria as it attempts to turn the page from decades of brutal dictatorship.

Folks look at you like you’re crazy when you say we’re in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then, well 👇🤷‍♂️

An important read about the background and possible motivation of the ICE shooter. His friends describe him as an extremely online edge lord, with no strong political leanings. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-ice-sh...

Trump knows he can’t get any props out of this conflict, which is also (one reason) why he lets Netanyahu do whatever he wants. Any leader serious about peace deals is going to do what is necessary to end the Gaza war & put Israelis & Palestinians back in peace negotiations. Anybody brave enough? No

It’s Fat Bear Week.

This is easily one of the biggest long-term tragedies of the Trump administration. The politicization of federal agencies and the steady erosion of institutional trust won't all just magically be fixed with the next election cycle.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

The security blanket clearance. ;)

Indicted for what? I don’t like the guy, but that’s not a crime. What is he being accused of?

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

For context, Venezuela refused ICE flights earlier this year. After 200+ Venezuelans were sent to CECOT, ICE sent Venezuelans to Honduras, where they moved to a Venz. charter. This arrangement had been waning and normal direct ICE flights returning over the summer. 1/

This whole incident is revealing a real crisis of trust in the FBI, it's hard to imagine how the FBI restores any credibility in the Trump administration, but that's what happens when you turn the entire government and related institutions into forums for loyalty tests and persecution.

judging by the rapidity with which this guy shot himself, gonna say suicide was probably at least an equivalent motive to anything else

I thought maybe it was time for a judge story. This is a story of the time a federal judge made fun of me, repeatedly, for passing out during a cross-examination. /1

I've been seeing this a lot on tiktok and I think it's the true death knell of AI- young people instinctively reject inauthenticity. It's been great seeing comment sections roasting brands for using AI while championing human made art.

Go ahead and rename it the Trump Center and let anyone with any sense of dignity steer clear.

This about sums it up...

There were no costs cut here. These mistakes will cost us at least three times as much, if not more.

When you have an administration that so constantly, shamelessly, openly lies, pretty soon there’s no faith in any information streams coming from the administration, so there’s no way to convey true information in a way that lands right, which leads to more chaos.

The trump regime is populated with dumb people, evil people, and dumb evil people.

people are starting to speak up about the Argentina bailout

I see a possible identity of the ICE shooter has been found, and the guy seems to be very online, so I'd be careful about taking anything at face value, especially memes and in-jokes.

The government's primary tool for matching people to vaccinations is still broken. @politico.com they aren't "delaying" vaccination to reduce autism. They are breaking our vaccination system and it has nothing to do, in scientific fact, with autism.

They’ve got their false narrative. They don’t care about the truth.

I have a list of all of the companies that advertised on one news show on KTLA today. It is so much more powerful to call the advertisers rather than the station. Let them know that you will not be using their products unless they pull their advertising. 1/

Whew hell yes ! I love good news.

Hell yes! Scream it from the rooftops.

Gavin Newsom: "It was Hannity, all these guys -- 'Outraged! Offended! Disgusted!' Because we put a mirror up to Trump and the absurdity of what's going on in this country, the absurdity of Donald Trump, the absurdity of these networks playing into it"

Whew, he is chewing at the profoundly deep hole in trump’s narcissistic soul, and the ketchup’s flying against the walls tonight

@lorennacleary.bsky.social Another example of their total lack of originality.

Jimmy Kimmel returns, defiantly: “Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he can’t take a joke…We have to speak out against this because he’s not stopping…He’s coming for our journalists, too…A govt threat to silence a comedian the president doesn’t like is anti-American.”

Kimmel not only being back but giving a monologue that will get rave reviews in the same papers panning the UN disaster speech is going to chew at Trump’s ego like a wolverine.

We've all written some version of this column by now but this one is among the very best.

Just came here to say the electoral college is undemocratic and bad for the United States.

I don't understand how people listen to him speak regularly and (1) don't become insane; (2) don't immediately clock that there is almost no meaning to be extracted from huge parts of his public comments, it's just empty signifiers or a worldview that you can't even whitewash into concrete meaning
