Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff struck student protesters with his car. This is why.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

I interviewed David Costello, who is running for Maine Senate in the D primary. He’s got strong progressive views—and he has never had a Nazi tattoo. I think it’s unfortunate the D party has largely ignored him; I hope ME voters give him a look. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/an-intervi...

The Democrats, especially those in NY and NC, should be hammering away at this. Trump is paying to prevent electricity generation that's so close to to being completed from coming online, which would help reduce electricity costs.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are. We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

oh look this guy supports medicare for all and i assume he doesn't have a nazi tattoo so there are options in maine just fyi

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Current NY state law blocks pharmacies from dispensing vaccines (including the COVID vaccine) without a prescription, unless RFJ Jr.'s handpicked vaccine advisory council signs off. But state Sen. @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social has proposed a bill to fix that: www.nysenate.gov/legislation/...

She is a tourist from Chile, and these cops left her teenage daughter on the streets of New York City alone. Why anybody would come to this country right now blows my mind.

Just four years ago, everyone agreed: Cuomo was unfit to lead because of his abuses of power and serial sexual harassment. We refuse to return to the days when this was the norm. #HellNoCuomo #NoMasCuomo

Wired is doing the heavy-lift work we need on the biggest story of the moment (far bigger than the new tariffs, as big as that is).

Hirono: "would you comply with an order by President Trump to shoot protesters in the leg?" Hegseth does not answer.

A reminder as Musk-bots, Trump-bots, and other bots start hitting Bluesky: blocking users removes their replies from your posts entirely. The correct way of handlin antagonizing parties is to block. Not reply. Not dunk. Not mute. Block. It stops their reach and effectiveness right there.

Jesus Christ, Schumer needs to go as minority leader: "“Our preference is to secure bipartisan solutions wherever possible and look for ways to collaborate with our Republican colleagues to help working families,” Schumer said." apnews.com/article/schu...

I am begging people to stop with these weird fantasies about trans women using the men's room (which are often weirdly sexual in nature?!) to "prove a point." You sound like weird freaks.

This is the next phase that Kiwi Farms members have stated they will do - constructing look-alike blocklists and then adding popular trans people to them after the fact, once the blocklist is seeded in the community. Make sure any block list you use says who runs it.

If you want to hasten the inevitable Trump/Musk crack up, may I suggest everyone start referring to Musk as the shadow president? Trump will love that.

The WIRED Guide to Protecting Yourself From Government Surveillance. Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are some steps you can take to evade it.

Does anyone have any recommendations for daily newspapers that do a great job of covering national news that are not the Washington Post or New York Times?

Nothing new under the sun. Look at this William F. Buckley “if you call them racist they may just become racist” rhetorical move from sixty years ago. Familiar, no? theintercept.com/2020/07/05/n...
