America Has A Problem has son serious haunting potential

NEW VIDEO: Donald Trump knows what he is doing. Historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat shared with me a warning about Trump's next authoritarian moves and how we can fight back www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovor...

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

Mike Johnson said this kind of rhetoric is highly inflammatory and incites people.

In case you don’t know what the Reichstag Fire was or why it’s relevant now, it was an incident soon after Hitler became chancellor that he used as a pretext to destroy civil rights and seize total power. Some folks think Trump is using the Charlie Kirk murder the way Hitler used the Reichstag Fire.

These are the comments that led to Jimmy Kimmel being taken off the air. "The MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it, in between the finger-pointing."

Facts matter.

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city. This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

This is a great thread for those who aren’t Terminally Online like the rest of us

Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

In a sense, Kirk was the son Trump never really had: very competent, ruthless, and innovative at menacing Trump's enemies--whoever they might be that day. Stephen Miller, but not as ugly. He was wildly underestimated outside the right, seen as an influencer rather than a key organizer. 2/

This thread and series of thoughts from @gregggonsalves.bsky.social is excellent and worth your time.

Rod Dreher has written that Peter Thiel “‘is by his own admission a heterodox Protestant. He is married to a man, but I learned (not from him) that he attends a conservative Protestant church, one whose doctrine considers homosexuality sinful.’” 2/14/25 … 1/ religionunplugged.com/news/2025/2/...

ROMANCE!! 💕 it's the one genre I've been looking to add to my list. some fave dynamics include - the delinquent/A+ student - black cat/golden retriever - the one who thinks theyre a monster/the one who loves them anyway ideally contemporary, but romance-driven sff or mystery is welcome too!

“Startup seeks Trump AI emergency [declaration] for California tech city ***The Network State comes to Alameda County. Why is an unknown tech company drafting an executive order to declare a national security emergency?” By Gil Duran, 6/15/25 1/ www.thenerdreich.com/startup-seek...

It’s always heartwarming when a good candidate beats an enormous sack of cash.

Gov Gavin Newsom’s TikTok page is 🔥

The FDA approved twice-yearly lenacapavir (Yeztugo) for PrEP, making it the longest-acting HIV prevention method. Advocates lauded the eagerly awaited approval but expressed concern that the $28,000 annual price tag could limit access as HIV prevention funding is being slashed in the US & worldwide.

The targeting of Harvard seems to have originated within Peter Thiel’s network. JD Vance—whose US Senate campaign was bankrolled by Thiel—is Exhibit A. 1/

“A lot of the new media is communicating with a level of authenticity—or at least perceived authenticity—that institutional media has been unable to deliver,” @postbaron.bsky.social tells @davidfrum.bsky.social. It’s a challenge “that we clearly have to confront.”

This. A good explainer of how Medicaid cuts work.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Hey, I wonder if there's any economic news today. I'll check out the website of America's biggest news network--Fox! Phew. Nothing's up! Biggest news in US today is a very nice Christian woman was slapped for no reason after sticking a camera in a stranger's face & calling her a baby killer.
